Justin Fields, DJ Moore lead way as Bears deal Falcons’ hopes a big blow with 37-17 romp
CHICAGO (AP) — Justin Fields noticed the smoke in the air and the cigars on a table as he walked into the locker room. By then, the celebration was under way.
Fields threw for 268 yards with a touchdown pass and a rushing TD in what could be his final home game for Chicago, and Bears dealt Atlanta’s postseason hopes a big blow, beating the Falcons 37-17 on a snowy Sunday.
DJ Moore finished with nine catches for 159 yards and a touchdown, and Khalil Herbert ran for 124 yards and a score.
With little wiggle room to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017 — and coach Arthur Smith’s future in question — the Falcons (7-9) got overwhelmed by Chicago (7-9).
The Bears grabbed a 21-7 halftime lead with Fields and Moore leading the way and rolled to their fourth win in five games.
“I will definitely remember this game for the rest of my life — just the atmosphere the fans, the chants, the snow,” said Fields, who grew up about 30 miles from Atlanta in Kennesaw, Georgia. “I don’t like snow as a quarterback but looking back on it it was great. But yeah, the spirit of the fans, the game, playing the hometown team, the hometown team where I’m from, beating them, so it was good.”
Fields said he was “surprised” by the cigar smoke. The turnaround the Bears have orchestrated this season might be a little more stunning considering the way their second season under general manager Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus started.
Defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned in September under circumstances that have not been fully explained, and running backs coach David Walker got fired leading up to the Week 9 loss at New Orleans, with Poles indicating it was for behavior. The Bears were 1-5 following a loss to Minnesota at Soldier Field in which Fields dislocated his right thumb. But things have changed since then.
“I know it’s a couple wins and all that, but I’m just saying that just to get that vibe in there of, ‘Hey, we can do this,’ that was certainly exciting for the players in there,” Eberflus said.
Fans chanted Fields’ name with his future as murky as ever. The Bears own the No. 1 pick in the draft thanks to their blockbuster trade with Carolina for Moore last March and could take Caleb Williams or Drake Maye.
If this was Fields’ final game at Soldier Field as a Bear, he went out with one of his better all-around performances.
Fields completed 20 of 32 passes and ran for 45 yards. Though he was sacked three times, he also spun out of a few.
Fields threw a neat 7-yard touchdown pass to Moore on Chicago’s first drive and ran for a 9-yard score on the next possession to make it 14-0 early in the second quarter.
Herbert set a season high for the second straight week after rushing for 112 yards last Sunday in a win over Arizona.
Roschon Johnson ran for a TD. Tyrique Stevenson had two of Chicago’s four interceptions, and the Bears won their fifth in a row at home after a 10-game skid at Soldier Field.
The Falcons struggled to get going on offense after setting a season high in scoring last week in a 29-10 win over Indianapolis. They finished with 307 yards, a week after gaining 406.
“You want to go out there and try to win, try to execute plays, and it sucks that sometimes we can’t pull through,” receiver Drake London said. “We’ve been trying for a while now and I mean we just got to keep on going and try to make the best of the situation right now.”
Taylor Heinicke, making his second straight start with Desmond Ridder benched, threw for 163 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions. He scrambled 24 yards for a TD early in the fourth quarter to cut it to 27-17 and departed near the end of the game after his left ankle flared up.
Ridder threw a late pick.
Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson tied William Andrews’ team rookie record of 1,332 scrimmage yards, set in 1979. He had 75 yards rushing and 11 receiving.
Tyler Allgeier turned a screen pass into a 75-yard touchdown in the second quarter. But the usually reliable Younghoe Koo had a rough time in the windy conditions, missing two early field goals as Atlanta fell to 2-6 on the road.
INJURIES
Falcons: CB Mike Hughes exited with a concussion after he was hurt late in the third quarter defending a pass to a lunging Tyler Scott in the end zone that hit off the receiver’s hands. … C Drew Dalman (ankle) was injured late in the game.
Bears: CB Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) left after he was hurt making a tackle on Robinson late in the second quarter.

Falcons: Visit New Orleans next weekend.
Bears: Visit Green Bay next weekend.

Coffey Family’s Plea for Closure a Year After Horrific Road Accident
Exactly a year ago, on December 31, 2022, the life of 55-year-old Sean Coffey was abruptly ended on the A41 Chester Road at the junction with Smithy Lane in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The beloved family man met his untimely demise when he was tragically struck by two vehicles—a black BMW and a grey Land Rover—at around 18:20 GMT, near a bustling shopping precinct.
A Family in Mourning
Sean Coffey, described by his relatives as ‘kind, generous, and funny,’ left a ‘massive void’ in the lives of his kin. A year on, his family still grapples with the harsh reality of his absence, seeking closure as they urge witnesses to come forward with any information that could shed light on the events of that fateful day.
An Investigation in Progress
Both drivers involved in the incident stopped and were questioned by Cheshire Police. Even though a year has passed, the investigation into Coffey’s death remains active. The officers have been meticulously reviewing CCTV footage, conducting witness interviews, and maintaining communication with the drivers involved in the incident.
A Plea for Public Assistance
Sergeant Simon Degg from Cheshire Police emphasized the importance of public input in the investigation. Every detail, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could prove instrumental in piecing together the events of December 31, 2022. The police remain steadfast in their commitment to unearthing the truth and providing the Coffey family with the closure they so desperately seek.

Denmark's Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe's longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year's speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to "thoughts about the future" and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. "I have decided that now is the right time," she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a "heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom."
Margrethe is the "epitome of Denmark" Frederiksen's statement read, and "throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation."
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch's role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women's air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe's oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen's announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year's speech which reflected on the "turbulence and upheaval in the world" amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation's people for "the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark."
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
"In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple," he said in his statement. "We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task."

This has been a terrible year for the world's freshwater fish and a lot of work needs to be done to stop thousands of species from hurtling toward extinction in 2024, researchers say. The International Union for Conservation of Nature says that about 21% of freshwater fish—3,086 out of 14,898 assessed species—are at risk of extinction because of factors including pollution, overfishing, and climate change, the latter of which affected at least 17% of threatened species. The IUCN says climate change puts pressure on fish species in several ways, including by shifting the seasons and forcing seawater up rivers as sea levels rise, the Guardian reports.
One species highlighted by the IUCN was the Atlantic salmon, which lives in both freshwater and seawater, reports Reuters. The species, which inhabits only a small fraction of rivers it was found in a century ago, moved to the "near threatened" category because new evidence shows that its population shrank 23% between 2006 and 2020. "Freshwater fishes make up more than half the world's known fish species, an incomprehensible diversity given that freshwater ecosystems comprise only 1% of aquatic habitat," says Kathy Hughes, co-chair of the IUCN species survival commission freshwater fish specialist group. "These diverse species are integral to the ecosystem, and vital to its resilience."
"Ensuring freshwater ecosystems are well managed, remain free-flowing with sufficient water, and good water quality, is essential to stop species declines and maintain food security, livelihoods, and economies in a climate resilient world," Hughes says. (Read more fish stories.)

Taoiseach refuses to change lifestyle despite heightened threat from far right
The Taoiseach has vowed not change his lifestyle despite being warned of a heightened risk to his safety from far-right extremists.
Leo Varadkar said he would not give in to those who seek to intimidate politicians as he ruled out entering some form of security bubble.
Last year saw several events that raised concerns around the safety of elected representatives in Ireland.
There were a number of arrests outside the Oireachtas parliament in Dublin in September as far-right protesters heckled and threatened TDs, senators and staff members and tried to blockade an entrance.
A mocked-up hanging gallows adorned with pictures of prominent politicians, including Mr Varadkar, was brought to the gates of the national parliament.
Demonstrators have also protested outside some politicians’ homes, with Mr Varadkar again a target.
The scenes of violence on the streets of Dublin on November 23 during a far right-influenced riot have further intensified safety concerns for elected representatives.
At his end-of-year media briefing, Mr Varadkar was asked about the risk to politicians and whether recent events have forced him to change his routine or habits.
“To be honest, I’ve kind of refused to change my life,” he said.
“And, you know, I have been advised by the Garda Commissioner (Drew Harris) that the threat is higher and the risk to my personal safety is real. And that is the case for other ministers too. You’ll know the Garda Commissioner has taken the decision to extend Garda protection to all members of cabinet, including the chief whip (Hildegarde Naughton) and Minister (Pippa) Hackett and Minister (Jack) Chambers, and that’s based on security assessments that the risk to politicians in terms of our safety is heightened.
“But I haven’t changed the way I live my life, nor will I.
“First of all, I’m not going to give in to it and, secondly, you know, I see how other countries operate where politicians, ministers, prime ministers live in a security bubble and… really forget what it’s like just to do normal things and live a normal life.
“And I don’t want to stop doing that, just for my own personal sense of being who I am. But, secondly, I don’t think it’d be a good thing for the country.
“You know, so I’ll keep on going to the cinema, I’ll keep on going to restaurants and bars, I’ll keep going to the gym and I’m not willing to have that changed.”

Kanaan Carlyle, Spencer Jones lead the way as Stanford stuns No. 4 Arizona 100-82
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Freshman guard Kanaan Carlyle scored 25 points, Spencer Jones added 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting and Stanford surprised No. 4 Arizona 100-82 in a Pac-12 matchup Sunday.
Andrej Stojakovic scored 16 points and center Maxime Raynaud had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Cardinal (6-6, 1-1), who made a school-record 16 3-pointers in the victory.
Caleb Love led Arizona (10-3, 1-1) with 23 points and center Oumar Ballo added 12 points and seven rebounds.
The victory was Stanford’s first over a ranked opponent since beating Arizona last season and its eighth over a ranked team since 2020.
“I think this will absolutely be the peak moment of this season for 2023,” Stanford coach Jerod Haase said. “For 2024, we’re going to start from scratch and see new peaks and new highs. Usually I tell them to enjoy the win until midnight. This time I told them they could enjoy this one for the rest of the year.”
Stanford raced to an early lead, scoring the first seven points. After Ballo made a layup to bring the Wildcats within a point at the 6:56 mark of the first half, Stanford went on a 21-7 run for a 43-28 lead with under three minutes left in the first half.
The Cardinal got a big boost from both of its freshman guards off the bench in the first half. Carlyle scored 13 of his 25 points in the first half while making all four of his 3-point shots. Stojakovic scored nine points and grabbed two rebounds.
Haase praised his young players and said they were a big part of the win.
“(Kanaan) was fearless out there,” Haase said. “With Kanaan and Andre, their eyes are full of wonder and excitement. I think we can all feed off that.”
Arizona struggled to find a its rhythm in the first half, shooting 41.2% from the field and 25% from long distance.
Stanford led 44-35 at halftime.
Stanford’s hot shooting continued in the second half. Jones scored 11 of the Cardinal’s first 16 points after halftime.
Arizona closed within 11 points at 80-69 when Ballo made a second-chance layup with just over seven minutes left in the game.
A layup by Jones gave Stanford a 95-75 lead with 2:57 left in the second half for its largest advantage of the game.
The win could give Stanford a huge confidence boost as it will go on a three-game trip against UCLA, USC and Oregon State in the coming weeks.
“The people in the locker room all believe what we can do,” Stojakovic said. “We knew we were able to accomplish a win like this. We had a couple games not go our way, but I think this one was finally the game to show that we are one of those teams and we can make a lot of noise in the Pac-12.”
The Wildcats, who are third in the country in fast-break points per game (18.67), were held to just six points in transition by Stanford. Arizona made just seven of its 26 3-point shots and allowed Stanford to make 58.1% of its shots.
“They outplayed our guys,” Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said. “I don’t care who it was, they outplayed us.”

Stanford: At UCLA on Wednesday.
Arizona: Home against Colorado on Thursday.

A man took a photo of his family as they rang in the New Year and in the process, helped solve his own murder that would occur that exact same moment.
Filipino politician Reynaldo Dagsa had made numerous enemies among Manila’s criminal fraternity through his crackdown on gang activity, but the war on crime was the last thing on his mind as he settled down for 40 winks before midnight.
“Reynaldo really didn't want to miss out on all the festivities,” podcaster Mr Ballen explained. “He knew would be going down out on the streets that night so he told his wife he was going to go take a nap and asked her to wake him up right before midnight so he could go outside and catch the tail end of the big celebration.”

But amid the revellers, there was an assassin lying in wait for the 35-year-old councilman. “There were people everywhere all along these busy streets,” Mr Ballen added.
“There were firecrackers being shot up into the sky, people were laughing and cheering and celebrating – Reynaldo was really excited and what he really wanted to do was capture a picture of his family right as the clock struck midnight."
That picture would not only be the last one he would ever take, but would also reveal the identity of the hitman waiting to strike.
Just behind Reynaldo’s daughter, a man in a baseball cap can clearly be seen pointing a pistol at the camera. Meanwhile, just behind his mother-in-law stands a man that police later identified as the assassin's lookout.
As Reynaldo pressed the shutter on his camera, the gunman pulled the trigger. Two shots rang out hitting him in the chest and arm. Although Reynaldo was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Chief Inspector Cresencio Galvez, Caloocan police intelligence chief told the Philippine Daily Inquirer said the men in the 2011 picture were “known car thieves and holduppers out on bail".
He added: "It is likely that they bear a grudge against Dagsa who had them arrested last year."

After Reynaldo’s family handed his final photo to police, the assassin was identified as known criminal Arnel Buenaflor. He was arrested on January 7. Two suspected accomplices, one Michael Gonzales (known as Fubo of Fish Pond Area I) and Rommel Oliva (alias Balong), had been arrested a few days earlier.

Couple Charged with Theft of Christmas Presents Across US and Australia
In a striking blow to the spirit of the festive season, a 48-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman have been apprehended and charged for the theft of Christmas presents from various homes. The couple’s crime spree spanned across the United States and Australia, disrupting the holiday season for many families who had spent time and resources selecting gifts for their loved ones. The stolen goods included vacuum cleaners, high-end brand items, shoes, and electronic gadgets, totaling over $15,000 in value.
Alleged Holiday Crime Spree
The alleged crimes targeted properties in Sydney’s western suburbs, including Parramatta, Merrylands, Granville, and Rosehill. The discovery of stolen items at the couple’s residence led to the man facing 12 charges, while the woman has been accused of seven counts of dishonestly obtaining property. The duo has been denied bail and is scheduled to appear in court.
A Pattern of Thefts
Reports of similar thefts in these areas suggested a pattern of targeted robberies. In Delray Beach, Florida, two incidents of theft caused significant distress. A porch thief stole Christmas presents intended for a second-grade school teacher’s children, while a car was stolen from the gated community of Seven Bridges. In response to these incidents, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office has reminded residents to exercise caution and take necessary precautions to prevent theft.
Community Response and Future Implications
These thefts have sparked a societal response, with affected communities rallying in support of the victims. A local organization stepped in to provide support for the school teacher’s children who lost their Christmas gifts. Furthermore, a state senator introduced a bill to address holiday season thefts, emphasizing the significance of security and vigilance during such times. These incidents serve as a stark reminder of the social and emotional impact of property crimes, especially during the festive season.

President Xi Jinping told China on Sunday that the nation's reunification with Taiwan is bound to happen. "The reunification of the motherland is a historical inevitability," he said in his New Year's address, according to the official translation. His remarks came two weeks before Taiwan, which broke away in 1949, holds elections that could alter relations, Politico Europe reports. China still claims Taiwan as its territory and has been increasing pressure on the island by conducting military drills in the area. His government has never said it won't use force against Taiwan, but Xi included no military threats in his televised speech, per Reuters.
Xi had not gone so far last year, when he said that people on either side of the Taiwan Strait are "members of one and the same family." That speech expressed hope for cooperation to "jointly foster lasting prosperity of the Chinese nation." The level of cooperation was a point of contention during and after a debate Saturday among Taiwan's presidential candidates, who all supported peace with China. William Lai, the front-runner, said he's open to talking with China's government, though it refuses to talk to him.
"The international community has realized the threat China poses to Taiwan and the international community," Lai said, per the AP. "In fact, everyone is already preparing to respond. We should … unite and cooperate to ensure peace." China's Taiwan Affairs Office later issued a statement critical of Lai, saying, "His words were full of confrontational thinking." China's preference is Hou Yu-ih of the Nationalist Party. The candidate from the Taiwan People's Party, Ko Wen-je, quoted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken: "Taiwan and China will cooperate if they can cooperate, compete if there's a need to compete, and confront each other if they must confront each other."

Thousands of parents turning to mental health charity for help supporting child
Thousands of parents whose children are suffering with poor mental health are turning to a charity for help, new data suggests.
Figures from Young Minds show 13,228 people contacted the charity’s parent helpline from January 1 to December 8, while an extra 2,829 parents and carers needed urgent crisis support.
The main topics parents have needed help with over the last year are their child’s anxiety, anger, depression and low mood, behaviour and autism.
The data on people needing crisis support is new for 2023 and relates to children at immediate risk, such as those feeling suicidal, according to the findings, shared with the PA news agency.
Parents needing this type of help may be told to call 999 or to go to A&E, while others will be directed to 24-hour mental health services in their area or other charities such as the Samaritans.
Overall, the number of people contacting the Young Minds helpline is up slightly on pre-pandemic figures. In 2019, some 12,027 people sought guidance.
Laura Bunt, chief executive of Young Minds, said: “Every day, our parent helpline receives calls from people struggling to find support for young people who need help with their mental health. These are often young people with multiple mental health conditions.
“Many can’t find the help they need in their community, while others face months waiting for support while becoming more ill. Other young people are turned away from services because they’re told they’re not ill enough.
“So much of what we hear speaks of a system that is struggling to cope.
“Across the country, more young people than ever are struggling with their mental health, with record numbers in crisis and in need of urgent support. This is a youth mental health emergency which will continue to escalate without preventative action.
“We know professionals, from the NHS to school classrooms, are doing all they can, but we need more than sticking-plaster solutions.
“Every young person should be able to access the mental health support they need, when they need it. The Government must commit to providing early support hubs in every community for young people to get help and reduce waiting times.”
Stevie Goulding, senior manager for parents and carers services at Young Minds, said it can be hard to know when to be worried about a child’s mental health.
“Young people are adapting to lots of changes as they grow up, so it’s normal for them to express raw emotions and change moods quickly,” she said.
“But if your child is consistently struggling, for example if you see a sustained change in their behaviour, sleeping or eating patterns, or if they seem to be upset over a long period of time, it’s important to take it seriously.
“You know your child better than anybody else. It’s important to act on the warning signs if you start to feel concerned.”
People are urged to try and talk to their children but if things do not seem to be improving, they are encouraged to speak to their GP.
Ms Goulding said: “Every case is different, but we advise parents who are trying to get support for a child to be persistent and to be as clear as possible when dealing with professionals.
“Write a summary in bullet points outlining your child’s symptoms and behaviour, the time frames including when the problems began and at what point they escalated, the impact on the child and wider family and clarifying any risk or urgency.”
If children are already on a waiting list, then parents are urged to tell school as well as maintaining hobbies, routines and normal parenting to help keep the child grounded and feeling safe.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Social Care said: “We’re continuing to invest in mental health services for children and young people with an additional £2.3 billion a year on overall mental health services by 2024.
“This investment means an additional 345,000 children and young people will be able to access NHS-funded mental health support, including through the vital mental health support teams we are rolling out to schools and colleges across the country.
“The mental health workforce also continues to grow to help cut waiting lists – one of this government’s top five priorities. In June 2023, we saw almost 10,100 more mental health staff working than the previous year.”

Kyren Williams runs for 3 TDs as Rams beat Giants 26-25 and clinch playoff berth with Seahawks loss
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams returned to the postseason after a year’s absence with a little help following a game during which they didn’t look like much of a playoff team.
Kyren Williams ran for 87 yards and a career-best three touchdowns and the Rams won their third straight and sixth in seven games with a much harder-than-expected 26-25 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday.
Los Angeles, which followed a Super Bowl win with a 5-12 season in 2022, clinched the playoff berth when Pittsburgh knocked off the Seahawks 30-23 in Seattle roughly three hours after the Rams’ game at MetLife Stadium ended.
“We are never going to take for granted being able to get wins,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “There were things that we did to try to not win this game today. But our guys found a way.
“Sometimes you need these types of games. It seemed we were a little off, but they kept staying together.”
Matthew Stafford threw for 317 yards and a touchdown, but also had his first two interceptions in the last five games as the Rams (9-7) won their third straight and sixth in the last seven games.
“We obviously didn’t play best on the offensive side of the ball, but our defense got some critical stops late in the game,” said Stafford, who was 24 of 34 passing. “Not the cleanest game, but we found a way to win. A win is a win. It was a crazy game. Felt like I was seeing it well, but obviously made two bad throws.”
The Giants (5-11) had a chance to pull off an upset when Gunner Olszewski scored on a 94-yard punt return to get New York within a point with 3:27 to play. After an encroachment penalty on the extra point attempt, coach Brian Daboll elected to go for a 2-point conversion —but Tyrod Taylor missed a wide-open Saquon Barkley on a rollout to the right.
Taylor admitted having trouble deciding whether run for the 2 points or throw the ball.
“He just missed it,” Daboll said of Taylor, who was 27 of 41 and ran six times for 40 yards while being sacked six times. “We had Saquon. Just short-armed it a little bit.”
Later, a 31-yard run by Taylor allowed Mason Crosby to attempt a game-winning 54-yard field goal, but it was wide left and might have not had the distance.
“I stopped looking when it turned left,” Crosby said.
Williams, the NFL’s second leading rusher coming in, scored on runs of 4, 2 and 28 yards. The 2-yard score was set up by an 80-yard catch-and-run by rookie Puka Nacua in the third quarter. A 37-yard pass from Stafford to Demarcus Robinson set up Williams’ 28-yard score in the fourth quarter. Rams kicker Lucas Havrisik missed two extra points to keep it close
Taylor threw for 319 yards in his first start since replacing Tommy DeVito, including an 80-yard scoring catch-and-run to Darius Slayton. Wan’Dale Robinson also scored on a 24-yard run on an end-around and Crosby kicked two field goals, but missed an extra point after Slayton’s TD that kept the Rams in front 20-16.
Dane Belton had two interceptions and a fumble recovery for New York. Stafford had thrown 170 consecutive passes without an interception until Belton ended the run with his first pick of the season.
Despite turning the ball over twice, Los Angeles led 14-10 at halftime on Williams’ 10th rushing touchdown and a 4-yard TD pass from Stafford to Kupp.
A 24-yard end-around by Robinson and a second-chance 31-yard field goal by Crosby accounted for the Giants’ scoring. Ben Skowronek blocked Crosby’s first attempt from 45 yards, but he was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for making a running leap over the line to block it.
Nacua finished with five catches for 118 yards, leaving him four receptions shy of breaking the NFL single-season record for rookies set by Miami’s Jaylen Waddle (104) in 2021. Nacua also needs 29 yards to pass Bill Groman (1,473) for the most yards receiving in a single season by a rookie in franchise history.
INJURIES:
Rams: LT Alaric Jackson was inactive for personal reasons. … NT Bobby Brown hurt his right knee late in the first quarter and did not return.
Giants: Rookie CB Deonte Banks missed the game with a shoulder injury. … RT Tyre Phillips (ankle) hurt a knee on the opening series, returned and was hurt against in the fourth quarter, needing to be carted off. … S Jason Pinnock left in the first quarter with a foot injury.
UP NEXT
Rams: Tune up for the postseason with a game at San Francisco.
Giants: End the season at home against Philadelphia.

COVID-19 Pandemic: A Breeding Ground for Fraud
The unprecedented upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to one of the largest thefts in U.S. history. Fraudsters have exploited the crisis to potentially plunder over $280 billion in federal COVID-19 aid, representing nearly 10% of the $4.3 trillion set aside by the U.S. government to alleviate the economic impact of the pandemic.
The Extravagance of Fraud
From luxury houses to expensive watches, extravagant vacations to high-end vehicles, the stolen funds were squandered on a shocking array of indulgences. One notable instance involves Florida businessman Patrick Parker Walsh, who was sentenced to five and a half years in federal prison for using nearly $8 million in relief funds to purchase Sweetheart Island.]
(Read Also: High Street Retailers in England Eyeing Private COVID-19 Vaccination Service)
The Ease of Theft
The government’s initial approach was to quickly disburse funds to aid those affected by the crisis with minimal verification. This lack of safeguards made it all too easy for thieves to lie on applications and obtain funds. The range of perpetrators is startling: a Tennessee rapper, a former pizzeria owner, and an ex-Nigerian government official, among others.
(Read Also: Indonesia Reveals New Policy for COVID-19 Vaccinations in 2024)
The Fight Against Fraud
Almost 3,200 defendants were charged with COVID-19 relief fraud, and about $1.4 billion in stolen funds have been recovered to date. However, the sheer scale and complexity of the fraud suggest that not all criminals will be caught. Digital evidence can be perishable and financial trails fade over time. Despite these challenges, the U.S. Justice Department has formed special strike forces and is committed to pursuing these cases for as long as necessary.

A psychic we at the Daily Star have affectionately dubbed the 'Living Nostradamus', has shared his exhaustive list of headlines to expect next year.
Athos Salomé's vision for global crises far and wide over the next 12 months is enough for anyone to wish new year's eve simply doesn't end. With doom and gloom forecast for just about everywhere from Africa to the South China Sea, the Brazilian seer does at least offer a glimpse of hope in one department.
Below is what Athos claims will likely happen unless action is swiftly taken to avoid it.

We have an entire page dedicated to WW3 warnings, long may they remain just that. Read them here
The looming spectre of a WW3: Tensions rise in the South China Sea
Salomés visions for the months of 2024 revolve around an incident in the South China Sea that carries the risk of igniting a global crisis. He suggests that there could be a confrontation involving the United States, China and Russia potentially occurring within the quarter of 2024. This clash could draw NATO and CSTO into the mix thereby transforming what initially seems like an issue into a conflict with global ramifications.
Increasing strife between Russia and Ukraine
When it comes to Eastern Europe, Ukraine Salomé predicts an escalation in border skirmishes during the half of 2024. The situation could further deteriorate if European Union nations and the United States decide to intervene thereby amplifying tensions and transforming them into a crisis.
Hotspots of conflict; Middle East, Africa and Asia
Salomé points out that the Middle East remains volatile due to conflicts along with external interventions from various stakeholders. In Africa he anticipates clashes in nations such as Libya, Sudan and Nigeria driven by disputes well as competition over access, to valuable natural resources. In terms of Asia, both India and Pakistan along, with the Korean Peninsula are regarded as regions of concern.
Climate change: A ray of hope amidst turmoil
In contrast to perspectives Salomé speaks optimistically about a 'green renaissance' in 2024. He predicts a period of advancements aimed at mitigating damage particularly focusing on young visionaries.
Economy and technology: trials and transformations
Salomé foresees a crisis stemming from automation which could lead to a global discussion on universal basic income in 2024. Additionally he anticipates the emergence of a currency that will hold significant global importance.
Regional spotlight: India, Africa Southeast Asia and the United States
India is portrayed as a 'Tiger' with progress expected by 2024. In Africa there is an awakening in both technological spheres with particular emphasis on the fintech sector. Salomé predicts an increase in typhoon intensity affecting Asian countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam and parts of China. Meanwhile for the United States regionally speaking he anticipates storms in the devastating fires, along the west coast – especially in California, Oregon and Washington.
Healthcare: The Post COVID world preparing for the challenges ahead
In 2024 Salomé envisions a world where being prepared for health crises is of importance. With a focus on hospital readiness and improved surveillance systems we must acknowledge that diseases, epidemics and pandemics may unfortunately occur in the coming years.

Mississippi State ups win streak to five with 85-62 victory over Bethune-Cookman
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Tolu Smith III totaled 16 points and nine rebounds off the bench to power Mississippi State to an 85-62 victory over Bethune-Cookman. Smith sank all five of his shots and 6 of 7 free throws for the Bulldogs (11-2), who have won five in a row — all at home — to close out nonconference play. Dashawn Davis made 5 of 8 shots with two 3-pointers, scoring 12. Freshman reserve Josh Hubbard made three 3-pointers and scored 11, adding three steals. Shakeel Moore scored 10. Jakobi Heady had 16 points and six rebounds to pace Bethune-Cookman.

Victory for campaign as shoppers no longer have to pay VAT on period pants
Consumers will no longer pay VAT on “essential and environmentally-friendly” period pants from today following a two-year campaign.
Women will save up to £2 on period pants on average – up to 16% – following the pledge to scrap the tax by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt in the autumn statement 2023.
It follows a campaign by brands, retailers, women’s groups and environmentalists dating back to 2021, when the so-called “tampon tax” was dropped from other period products such as pads, tampons and menstrual cups.
However, a 20% tax on period pants, which are designed to be worn as an alternative to using tampons and sanitary towels, continued as they were classified as garments.
Retailers including Marks & Spencer and the brand Wuka were among about 50 signatories of a letter to the Treasury in August, which urged the Government to remove VAT on period pants.
In the letter, they pledged to pass on any tax cut straight to customers, “so they feel the benefit of the cost saving immediately”.
The letter added that period pants “have the power to reduce plastic pollution and waste”, and could save people money in the long term, but added that “one of the main barriers to switching to period pants is cost”.
A number of retailers, including Tesco, John Lewis and M&S, later announced they would cover the cost of VAT on period pants.
M&S has estimated that the cost of the VAT exemption would be 55p a year for a UK household with an average income – about the price of a pint of milk.
Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Nigel Huddleston, said: “This is a victory for women across the UK and for the campaigners who’ve helped raise awareness of the growing importance of period pants.
“It’s only right that women and girls can find more affordable options for what has become an essential and environmentally-friendly product.”
Victoria McKenzie-Gould, corporate affairs director at M&S, said: “Paying tax on period pants was a bum deal for women everywhere so we’re thrilled that the Treasury has done the right thing by axing the tax and levelling the playing field on period products for good.
“Nearly 25% of women cite cost as a barrier to using period pants so we know the new legislation that comes into effect from today will make a big difference to women’s budgets across the UK.
“A big thank you to Wuka, the tens of thousands of individuals, politicians, brands and retailers, who threw their weight behind our campaign – Say Pants to the Tax – and, of course, a big thank you to the Chancellor and HM Treasury team who made the change we were campaigning for a reality.”
Laura Coryton, tampon tax campaigner and founder of social enterprise Sex Ed Matters, said: “Ending the tax on period underwear will make a huge difference, particularly given skyrocketing levels of period poverty across the UK.
“It will also help to tackle the stigma associated with periods, which stops at least 10% of girls going to school every month.
“Now, it is important for retailers to pass savings on to consumers, not only in relation to period underwear, but all period products.”

Cryptocurrency Crisis: The Fall of Changpeng Zhao and Sam Bankman-Fried
A seismic shift has occurred in the cryptocurrency world, with two of its most influential figures, Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, and Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX, falling from grace. Despite the impressive recovery in market performance, with Bitcoin seeing a 150% increase this year and Solana experiencing nearly a tenfold increase, the criminal convictions of Zhao and Bankman-Fried have tarnished the industry’s reputation. The duo, once collaborators turned rivals, were advocates for a new financial system without intermediaries like banks and government overreach. However, their actions have only reinforced critics’ claims about the sector’s susceptibility to fraudulent practices.
The Downfall of the Cryptocurrency Titans
Bankman-Fried was convicted on seven criminal counts, including charges related to the theft of billions from FTX’s customers. The charges carry a potential maximum prison sentence of over 100 years. This former CEO of the now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange vehemently denies the allegations and plans to appeal the conviction. However, key witnesses and former colleagues have admitted their involvement in fraud, possibly avoiding jail due to cooperation deals.
Simultaneously, Zhao pleaded guilty in a $4.3 billion settlement with the Department of Justice, leading to his resignation as Binance CEO. Both figures were once powerful advocates of cryptocurrency, pledging to reshape the financial landscape. Yet, their downfall has left a stain on the industry, supporting critics’ concerns about widespread fraudulent practices.
Notable Skepticism in the Financial World
The industry’s challenges are further compounded by the skepticism of prominent figures such as JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, investor Warren Buffett, and Senator Elizabeth Warren. These individuals have repeatedly voiced doubts about the legitimacy and value of cryptocurrency, providing a sobering counterpoint to the hype surrounding digital currencies. Their skepticism underlines the need for more robust regulation and transparency in the industry to protect consumers and maintain financial stability.
Looking Forward: The Future of Cryptocurrency
While the cryptocurrency market has shown resilience in the face of these scandals, the industry must address these significant challenges if it hopes to gain widespread acceptance. It needs to dispel the cloud of mistrust surrounding it and prove that it can offer a secure, reliable alternative to traditional financial systems. Amid the turbulence, the industry’s future hangs in the balance, with the potential to either redefine the financial world or become a cautionary tale of unchecked ambition and inadequate regulation.

Panthers owner David Tepper tosses drink into visiting stands late in 26-0 loss to Jaguars
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Panthers owner David Tepper threw the contents of a drink into the visiting crowd near the end of Carolina’s 26-0 loss at Jacksonville on Sunday.
Tepper’s reaction came after rookie Bryce Young was intercepted with less than 3 minutes to play. It was unclear whether Tepper was reacting to something said to him or the latest miscue for the team with the NFL’s worst record.
General manager Scott Fitterer was standing near Tepper when he tossed the remnants of his drink while watching the game from a club suite.
The Panthers (2-14) dropped to 0-9 on the road and were shut out for the first time since losing to Atlanta in Week 12 in 2002. They also clinched the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft in April — a selection that will go to Chicago.
Nothing went right in this one for Carolina, and had Jacksonville not gone 1 for 5 scoring in the red zone, the outcome likely would have been way more lopsided.
Bryce Young completed 19 of 32 passes for 112 yards, with an interception, and was sacked six times. He now has been sacked a whopping 59 times.
“Yeah, not fun. Not fun at all,” Young said. “It’s on us. It’s what we put out. It’s our tape. It’s what we did. We own it, accept it. It is what it is, but it’s not fun.”
Carolina had issues before the coin flip.
Kicker Eddy Pineiro injured his right hamstring in pregame warmups and was unable to go. Starting linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill handled the opening kickoff, and interim coach Chris Tabor kept his offense on the field for a fourth-and-7 play in normal field-goal range on the team’s opening drive.
Young was sacked and took a shot to his back. He spent several minutes getting checked on the sideline and returned in time for the next series.
“Obviously when there’s only one kicker on your 48, that’s a tough deal,” Tabor said.
Cornerback Jaycee Horn (toe) also was a late scratch after going through warmups. Horn had been scheduled to play, and Tabor even made CJ Henderson inactive. But Horn couldn’t go, so Shaquill Griffin was thrust into the starting lineup.
Griffin was burned for a 48-yard gain, part of a lackluster performance all around for the visitors.
“I’m disappointed, obviously, and that’s a pretty generic answer,” Tabor said. “Did not see it coming. I will tip my hat to the Jaguars. The way we were trending, I did not see this performance coming down.
“We never got on track. We talked a lot about starting fast this week, and we did not do that. … How are you going to deal with it? There’s only two choices: It’s either character or compromise. Those are questions for everybody.”
The Panthers had more injury issues during the game. Guard Cade Mays left with a finger injury and then linebacker Marquis Haynes, a sixth-year pro who grew up in Jacksonville, was carted off the field in the third quarter with a concussion. He was taken to a hospital for further testing and did not fly home with the team.
Haynes flashed a thumbs-up sign to the crowd as he left the stadium. It was one of the few occasions Carolina fans had to cheer.
The Panthers finished with 124 yards, were 1 of 13 on third down and had defensive lineman Derrick Brown ejected along with Jacksonville left tackle Cam Robinson late in the fourth. They ripped off each other’s helmets after a play.
“Missed opportunities. Just execution top to bottom,” Young said. “There’s a long list of stuff I’ve got to do better, and then offensively we all take responsibility. We all look in the mirror, and I think ‘disconnected’ is a good word.
“Just wasn’t executing, wasn’t translating, and as far as the offense, that’s on me.”

New Zealand says China's safeguard duties on milk powder over
SYDNEY (Reuters) - New Zealand said on Monday all its dairy products were now able to enter China duty-free as safeguard duties on milk powder ended on Dec. 31, marking the removal of all remaining tariffs agreed upon in the free trade deal between the two countries.
New Zealand was the first developed country to sign a free trade agreement with China in 2008, with the imports of milk powder subjected to the longest phase-out. An upgraded trade deal was entered when former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern met President Xi Jinping in 2022.
"This is good news for our dairy sector. The removal of these remaining tariffs is expected to deliver additional annual tariff savings of approximately NZ$350 million ($221 million)," Trade Minister Todd McClay said in a statement.
"The (free trade agreement) continues to deliver benefit to the New Zealand economy and to underpin the New Zealand-China trade relationship."
China is New Zealand's largest trading partner, with two-way trade exceeding NZ$37 billion ($23.40 billion) in 2021. Annual dairy exports to China have averaged 1.4 million tonnes, worth about NZ$8 billion each year over the past three years, around half of which was milk powder, official data showed.
Safeguard duties are emergency tariffs that countries use to shield domestic industries against intense competition from a sudden surge in imports of a particular product.
The so-called special agricultural safeguards mechanism in the free trade deal was designed as a temporary measure. The tariff preferences are applied up to a designated volume and China's standard tariff applied to imports above the safeguard trigger.
Safeguards duties on milk and cream, butter, and cheese ended in 2021, while those on milk powders ended on Dec. 31, 2023.

A rookie X-rated star said an affair with another woman's fella led to her mum finding out about her racy career.
Kylie Rocket explains that the woman had revealed her secret in hope of embarrassing her, because Kylie had slept with her boyfriend. She explained on the Pillow Talk podcast: “When I started the industry I only did two scenes. I just wanted the money – I didn't really think I was going to go into it…”
The 22-year-old says she had just agreed to shoot the clips for Back Room Casting Couch – a company that specialises in first-time porn performers – to make some quick money.

“It was so sketchy,” she recalls. “It was my first time and I went to JC Penney in the makeup section and that’s where I got my hair and makeup done. I thought it was so cool at first and then I realised like that's not really what people do.
“We don't go to a mall and get our makeup done for a shoot, but I thought it was like the coolest thing ever.”
But before her debut porn appearance, Kylie had hooked up with a bloke at a party. She thought he had broken up with his former girlfriend, a former friend of Kylie’s, but it turned out that they were just “on a break.”
“They started dating again … and then she actually told my mum that I f****d him so my mum thinks I lost my virginity to him. Then I did the video. I was already out of the house by this time but she went and told my mum.

“She pulled up to my mum house thinking that I lived there too because she wanted to embarrass me.” Kylie admits that she was embarrassed at the time, but now – over 120 adult films later – she’s a celebrated industry veteran with multiple AVN award nominations to her credit.
“Coming out” to your parents about being a porn performer can be difficult. Some performers – such as “censored porn” specialist Waifu – have it easy because their mum is in the industry too.
Others, for example Pillow Talk co-host Kazumi – never reveal their secret to their parents. “They just don't know the internet,” she explains.

Daylight Robbery Attempt for Canada Goose Jacket at Elmstead Woods Station
A shocking attempted robbery took place in broad daylight at Elmstead Woods station in Chislehurst, Kent. The brazen event saw two hooded assailants attempting to forcibly remove a man’s expensive Canada Goose jacket. This audacious act of theft was captured on video and subsequently circulated on social media platforms, eliciting strong reactions from the public.
Violent Attempt Caught On Tape
The video footage clearly shows the two male thieves aggressively pulling at the man’s high-end jacket, with one attacker striking the man’s head repeatedly while the other assists in the attempted robbery. Despite the violent nature of the attack, the victim managed to break free from the assailants and escape. The attackers, who were donning balaclavas to hide their identities, then fled the scene.
Audacity of Daylight Robbery
The brazen nature of the crime, particularly its occurrence in broad daylight, has sparked shock and conversation among social media users. Some expressed disbelief at the audacity of being robbed for one’s clothing in the middle of the day. As one commenter insightfully noted, ‘Can’t wear Canada Goose nowadays. Imagine that, robbed for your clothes.’
Investigation Underway
MailOnline reached out to the British Transport Police for additional details regarding the incident. While the investigation is ongoing, the police are urging the public to come forward with any information or footage that may assist in identifying the suspects. In response to the incident, increased patrols and security measures are expected to be implemented at the station in the coming days.

Penalties and missed opportunities doom Raiders in playoff-eliminating 23-20 loss at Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Las Vegas Raiders have seen about every conceivable scenario this season. They fought their way back from a sluggish start to get into the playoff picture. They underwent yet another midseason coaching change. And on Sunday, another uneven, mistake-prone performance sealed their fate with a 23-20 playoff-eliminating loss at Indianapolis. Now they know they’re heading home after next week’s season finale against rival Denver. But interim coach Antonio Pierce doesn’t consider it a lost season and expects his players to fight again next week.

24 for 2024: the unmissable sporting events over the next 12 months
1) Africa Cup of Nations 13 January-11 February
The 34th edition of Africa’s biggest sporting event was meant to be held in Ivory Coast between June and July 2023 but was moved after somebody realised it rains a lot in the country at that time of the year. So it takes place at the start of 2024 instead and for Mohamed Salah the target is redemption having been part of the Egypt team that suffered the pain of penalty shootout defeat to Senegal in the 2022 final. A host of other big names will also be at the tournament, including André Onana (Cameroon), Achraf Hakimi (Morocco) and Victor Osimhen (Nigeria).
* * *
2) Australian Open 14 January-28 January
Melbourne could be the scene of tennis history given Novak Djokovic will arrive there looking to win a 25th grand slam title, taking him past Australia’s Margaret Court as the single most successful player tennis has seen. Few would bet against the world No 1 achieving his ambition at a tournament where Rafael Nadal is set to feature having been sidelined for 12 months with a hip injury. In the women’s draw, Aryna Sabalenka will be seeking to retain the title she won with a show of power, determination and class against Elena Rybakina in the 2023 final.
* * *
3) Men’s & Women’s Six Nations 2 February-16 March, 23 March-27 April
Four months after suffering various forms of heartbreak at the Rugby World Cup, the northern hemisphere’s biggest and best gather to compete for the Six Nations. Grand slam winners Ireland travel to Paris for a mouth-watering opening game while England, minus captain Owen Farrell, head to Rome a day later, when Wales and Scotland will also do battle in Cardiff. A week after the men are done the women get going, and for England that means building on the glory of 2023, when they sealed the grand slam in front of 58,498 spectators at Twickenham, a record crowd for a women’s game.
* * *
4) Super Bowl LVIII 11 February
The Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada hosts the 58th edition of American Football’s showpiece event. The Kansas City Chiefs, led by Andy Reid and armed with Patrick Mahomes, will be seeking to make it four Super Bowl appearances in the past five years and, more importantly, retain the trophy they won with a thrilling 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Arizona last time out. All eyes will also, of course, be on the halftime show, which in 2024 comes courtesy of Usher. “Yeah!” as his fans no doubt screamed upon hearing the news.
* * *
5) Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk 17 February
A case of better late than never in regards to the fight everybody has wanted to see and thought they were finally going to get just before Christmas. It didn’t happen, however, after Fury suffered the shock and embarrassment of requiring a split decision verdict to overcome the UFC’s Francis Ngannou in Riyadh in October. A period of regrouping was required and Fury will go again in the Saudi Arabian capital against arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, with both men seeking to become boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999. The location is a shame; the contest should be a cracker.
* * *
6) Formula One World Championship 2 March-8 December
The new Formula One season will be one of significant change. Firstly, the calendar stretches to a record 24 races, the maximum number the sport believes is feasible for both teams and personnel, and then there is the opening two races, in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, being held on back-to-back Saturdays. F1 has also confirmed there will be six sprint races – in China, Miami, Austria, Austin, Brazil and Qatar. Once the action gets going it is possible little will change: Max Verstappen and Red Bull were imperious in 2023 and everything points to that being the case again in 2024.
* * *
7) The Masters 11 April-14 April
John Rahm will arrive in Augusta seeking to retain the title he won on an enthralling final day in 2023. The Spaniard, competing at his first major since his controversial switch to LIV Golf, should be full of belief given he was also part of the European team that regained the Ryder Cup in Rome a few months ago, which should be the case, too, for Rory McIlroy as he seeks to win a first major in a decade. From a US perspective, world No 1 Scottie Scheffler is sure to mount a strong challenge, while there could also be the intriguing prospect of Tiger Woods making a return to Masters action.

8) England Women v Pakistan Women Twenty20 series 11 May-19 May
It perhaps says something about the growth of English women’s cricket that Heather Knight’s white-ball side have been chosen to open the international summer with a three-match Twenty20 series against Pakistan. The fixtures take place at Edgbaston, Northampton and Headingley. There follows a three-match one-day series against the same opponents before three ODIs and five T20s are played against New Zealand. “Next summer’s schedule will see England Women play at more venues and allow more people to see their heroes in action,” said England and Wales chief executive, Richard Gould.
* * *
9) Women’s Champions League final 25 May
The San Mamés stadium in Bilbao hosts the showpiece event of women’s club football in Europe and few would complain if it proved as exciting as the 2023 final, when Barcelona come from two goals down at half-time to beat Wolfsburg 3-2 in Eindhoven. English hopes rest with Chelsea following Arsenal’s shock defeat to Paris FC in the first round of qualifying and what would be the club’s first Women’s Champions League triumph would also represent a fitting way for Emma Hayes to sign off as manager prior to her move to the United States.
* * *
10) Men’s Champions League final 1 June
Can Manchester City reach Wembley and retain the crown that completed last season’s treble? Current form suggests possibly not, but City tend to get stronger in the new year and will be delighted to have once again been handed a very kind last-16 draw. Pep Guardiola’s men take on FC Copenhagen in the next round, while Arsenal, seeking to win a first Champions League title, face Porto. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are among the other contenders in a competition being contested in its current format for a final time before next year’s less-than-popular switch to the so-called “Swiss model”.
* * *
11) Men’s Twenty20 World Cup 4 June-30 June
The United States of America hosts a cricket World Cup for the first time. They do so alongside the West Indies in a move designed to extend the game beyond its traditional borders and, as such, it will be intriguing to see how cities such as Dallas and New York take to the event. This World Cup will also be bigger than ever before given the involvement of 20 teams, and for England the aim is to avoid the horrors of the recent 50-over tournament in India and make a decent fist of retaining their 20-over crown.
* * *
12) Euro 2024 14 June-14 July
Germany hosts a major men’s football tournament for the first time since the 2006 World Cup and the hope for all concerned is that this one is as good as that one. It is certainly open in regards to who will be crowned champions at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium on 14 July, with England very much a serious contender. Scotland, having qualified for a second successive Euros, face the hosts in the opening game while Wales require a playoff to make the finals. Should they prevail, Robert Page’s men will be in the same group as France and Netherlands.
* * *
13) Royal Ascot 18 June-22 June
Auguste Rodin had a distinctly hit-and-miss three-year-old career but he achieved something that Aidan O’Brien’s last three Derby winners all failed to do when he added a subsequent Group One success to his Epsom victory and finished with a flourish in the Breeders’ Cup Turf. He is the best Ballydoyle Derby winner to stay in training since High Chaparral in 2002-03, and there was even talk of running him in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Even if that proves wide of the mark he will be a fixture in the big all-aged events in 2024, starting with the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot.
* * *
14) Tour de France & Tour de France Femmes 29 June-21 July, 12 August-18 August
The 111th edition of cycling’s most prestigious event will be one of firsts, namely the staging of the Grand Départ in Italy (in Florence, to be precise) and the end of the race taking place in Nice, as opposed to Paris. Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard will be seeking to win a third successive title while Mark Cavendish aims to break the record of 34 Tour stage wins he shares with Eddy Merckx having delayed his plans to retire from the sport. The third edition of the Tour de France Femmes, meanwhile, will commence in Rotterdam and has been delayed due to the Olympics.
* * *
15) Wimbledon 1 July-14 July
The 2024 Championships will have to go some way to match the drama of the 2023 edition given it climaxed with Marketa Vondrousova becoming the first unseeded player to win the women’s singles title via victory over Ons Jabeur and then, 24 hours later, Carlos Alcaraz securing his second grand slam title with victory over Novak Djokovic in an epic men’s final. The ingredients should be there for more of the same, with a host of British players primed to go deep into the second week of the tournament, most notably Katie Boulter and Cameron Norrie.
* * *
16) England Men v West Indies Men Test Series 10 July-30 July
England’s return to red-ball action on home soil for the first time since the Ashes comes against opponents who last visited the country in the summer of 2020. It was at the height of the pandemic and, as such, there were no crowds, leading to a somewhat sterile series. The atmosphere will be better this time around as the teams do battle at Lord’s, Trent Bridge and Edgbaston, with the hosts sure to stick to their Bazball principals but without Stuart Broad following his retirement from the sport. After facing West Indies, England play three Tests against Sri Lanka, at Old Trafford, Lord’s and the Oval.
* * *
17) The Open 18 July-21 July
Royal Troon hosts the Open for the first time since 2016, when Henrik Stenson landed the Claret Jug following an enthralling final-round tussle with Phil Mickelson. The hope is for more of that and less of what took place in 2023, when Brian Harman won the Championship at a canter on a rain-lashed last day at Royal Liverpool. Sizzling-hot entertainment, it was not. Those who love a bit of sentiment will be pleased to know Colin Montgomerie plans on competing at a course that is a stone’s throw from where he grew up. “This is where I started playing,” he said. “This is home.”
* * *
18) Olympics 26 July-11 August
“We want a huge party,” declared Étienne Thobois, chief executive of the Paris 2024 organising committee, and the first Olympics to be held in Europe since London 2012 is certainly set to get off to a spectacular start given the plan for the opening ceremony is for competing athletes to travel along the Seine in a huge flotilla. Once on dry land they will take part in the usual sports plus four new ones, including breakdancing and skateboarding. All in all it should be quite the Games, with British hopes for glory, on the Stade de France track at least, resting with the likes of Keely Hodgkinson, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Zharnel Hughes.
* * *
19) Paralympics 28 August-8 September
As was the case in Tokyo three years earlier, there will be 22 sports at the Paris Paralympics, with 4,400 athletes set to be involved across 11 days of competition. Wheelchair rugby gets things going on day one, with Great Britain looking to defend the gold medal they won with a 54-49 victory over the United States at the Yoyogi National Stadium in late August 2021, one of 124 medals, 41 of which were gold, ParalympicsGB secured in Japan. The closing weekend, meanwhile, includes wheelchair fencing under the dome of the Grand Palais.
* * *
20) Women’s Twenty20 World Cup September-October
Bangladesh hosts the ninth edition of the women’s Twenty20 World Cup and could be where Australia clinch the trophy for a seventh time. They will certainly be firm favourites to do so, albeit the retirement of Meg Lanning ninth months after leading her country to their sixth title in South Africa provides their rivals with hope. England will arrive at the tournament having competed in a decent run of T20 fixtures, including three in India. In total, 10 teams will be at the World Cup, two of which will come through a global qualifier that takes place in early 2024.
* * *
21) Solheim Cup 10 September-15 September
No, your eyes are not deceiving you – the Solheim Cup returns 12 months after it was staged at Finca Cortesín, the intention from organisers being to permanently shift the event to even-number years in order to avoid a clash with the Ryder Cup. That process begins at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, where Europe will be aiming to lift the trophy for a fourth time in succession. Again they will be captained by Suzann Pettersen, with the US again being led by Stacy Lewis. “It’s such an honour to be asked to captain Team Europe again,” said Pettersen, a 21-time tournament winner.
* * *
22) Super League Grand Final 12 October
Just when it appeared that St Helens’ grip on Super League supremacy was unbreakable, along came Wigan Warriors to win the Grand Final for the first time in five years. Theirs was a commanding display against Catalan Dragons at Old Trafford in October and the aim for Matt Peet’s men going into the new season will be getting back to the showpiece occasion in 2024. Speaking of showpiece occasions, Wigan host the NRL champions, Penrith Panthers, in the World Club Challenge on 24 February. It is a repeat of the 1991 clash at Anfield, which Wigan won 21-4.
* * *
23) Cycling World Championships 16 October-20 October
The Ballerup Super Arena hosts this event for a third time, having also done so in 2002 and 2010, meaning it should proceed smoothly and successfully. Organisers are confident that will be the case – “Everything is proceeding according to plan” declared project coordinator, Andreas Juul Ingvartsen, in October – with day one action kicking off with qualifying in the women’s and men’s team pursuit. Great Britain will travel to Denmark looking to build on the table-topping 56 medals, 23 of which were gold, they secured at the 2023 Championships in Glasgow.
* * *
24) Weightlifting World Championships November-December
Bahrain hosts weightlifting’s premier competition for the first time and the excitement of doing so is tangible among organisers. “I thank the International Weightlifting Federation for their trust and plan on hosting a fantastic event that further contributes to the development of our beloved sport,” said Eshaq Ebrahim Eshaq, president of the Bahrain Weightlifting Federation. Athletes will compete across 20 weight categories – 10 for men, 10 for women – with China the country to beat having won 20 gold medals at the 2023 championships in Riyadh, 15 more than second-place Thailand.

Delaware Repairman Revealing Hunter Biden’s Laptop Contents Reports Swatting Incident
John Paul Mac Isaac, the Delaware computer repairman who previously revealed the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, recently reported a swatting incident at his residence on the night of December 29. Mac Isaac was not present during the incident but praised the Wilmington Police Department for their swift and professional response. The police, however, have yet to release any details regarding the incident.
Swatting: A Dangerous Prank
Swatting is a harmful act involving a false emergency report intended to provoke a significant response, typically from a SWAT team, to a specific location. It has become an alarming issue, with hundreds of cases reported annually. Swatters often use caller ID spoofing, a technique that hides the perpetrator’s identity, making these incidents even more challenging to resolve.
Notable Swatting Victims
Several prominent figures, including Sen. Rick Scott and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, have recently fallen victim to swatting. To address this, the FBI has established a national database in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, aiming to track swatting incidents nationwide.
Mac Isaac’s Legal Battle
Mac Isaac is currently embroiled in a defamation lawsuit against Hunter Biden, which he filed in October 2022. Biden has countersued, alleging Mac Isaac illicitly disseminated his personal data and infringed his privacy. This legal dispute stems from Mac Isaac’s assertion that a man he believed to be Hunter Biden abandoned three laptops at his shop in 2019 and failed to reclaim them within the store’s 90-day policy. Mac Isaac subsequently took possession of the devices. Despite the swatting incident, Mac Isaac affirmed that he would not be deterred from his legal battle.

PGA Tour seeks extension on commercial deal with Saudis, private investors
The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour.
Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement.
The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group.
Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested.
“As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said.
Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month.
Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.”
The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo.
Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
“These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said.
Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour.
It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February.

Penn Badgley has opened up on his past relationship with Blake Lively, admitting she "saved" him from experimenting with drink and drugs.
You star Penn met Blake on the set of Gossip Girl in 2007, where the pair starred as Serena Van der Woodsen and Dan Humphrey. The show ran for six seasons, with Penn and Blake hooking up off screen for three years until 2010.
Blake, 36, famously went on to marry Deadpool star, Ryan Reynolds - with whom she shares four children, whilst Penn tied the knot with London-born musician, Domino Kirke in 2017. But things could have become very different for Penn if he hadn't dated Blake while filming Gossip Girl in '07.

Speaking about getting to grips with becoming a household name in his early twenties, Penn admitted there was a "dark undercurrent" to his time on the show. He denied that darkness was related to substance abuse, however.
"To be honest, I never struggled with substances," he told Variety, adding that his ex had been a positive influence on him. "Blake didn’t drink, and I think our relationship in some ways saved me from forcing myself to go down that road."
However, he admitted some aspects of fame and fortune did have a bearing on his state of mind. "Like anybody who experiences some degree of fame and wealth, I was presented with the universal truth that not only does it not make your life better or easier, it actually can greatly complicate things, and make you quite unhappy," he explained.
Dad-of-one Penn also confessed he's requested fewer "intimate scenes" as he gets older. In the latest series of You, his protagonist Joe Goldberg character gets together with Kate Galvin-Lockwood after he brutally murdered his wife, Love Quinn.
Penn explained: "That aspect of Hollywood has always been very disturbing to me. And that aspect of the job, that mercurial boundary – has always been something that I actually don’t want to play with at all."

Penn, meanwhile, confessed in 2021 that he cannot comprehend the obsession with his serial killer character. At the time of the show's 2018 inception many viewers seemed unphased by Joe's actions - and in fact, many fans became attracted to him - something the actor clearly did not support.
After viewers praised him online, Penn kindly reminded his followers that he was playing a murderer - but it didn't stop many some bizarrely claiming they "wouldn't mind" if he killed them - which Penn later called them out on. He also admitted: "There's a lot I don't enjoy about him [Joe]. To be honest, I don't enjoy nearly everything about him."

8 Dogs Found Abandoned in Kentucky Home Filled with 'Several Feet' of Feces
"A large hole had been clawed into the wall" and "feces and dirt was covering the window sills and the ceiling" in the home, according to court records obtained by WLKY
Eight dogs were found abandoned in a Louisville, Kentucky, house brimming with feces.
A woman, 52-year-old Vallary Amato, was arrested after the pups were discovered living among the waste, which was piled “several feet high,” per court records obtained by local CBS affiliate WLKY.
According to the Louisville outlet, the home belonged to Amato’s son and his boyfriend, and Amato was supposed to be caring for the dogs, but only stopped by once a week to feed them.

Both the pets and the home appeared to have been abandoned for months, neighbors told the outlet. Neighbors also said that a stench was coming from the house, and the dogs could be heard barking inside, WLKY reported.
After concern grew, neighbors reported the situation to Louisville Metro Animal Services, and the shelter sent animal control officers by the residence several times, but nobody appeared to be home, per the outlet.
Then, in November, one of the owners agreed to let the shelter employees remove the dogs from the house.
Seven of the canines were discovered living together in one room, “which was covered in feces several feet high,” per court records obtained by WLKY.
The records also stated that “a large hole had been clawed into the wall,” “feces and dirt was covering the window sills and the ceiling,” and “feces was also found throughout the residence.”
The documents also said that the dogs had not been socialized, per WLKY.

Amato was arraigned on Friday morning on eight counts of animal cruelty and one violation of the Metro Louisville ordinance, per WLKY.
A judge ordered Amato, who is due back in court on Jan. 8, not to have any contact with animals, according to the outlet.
It is not clear whether the couple who owns the home will also be charged.
The dogs were removed from the home, cleaned and placed with foster families, a representative for Louisville Metro Animal Services confirmed to WLKY.

Essex Police Officer Stabbed in the Head: Attacker Charged with Attempted Murder
In an unsettling incident in Essex, a female police officer was ruthlessly stabbed in the head while attempting to engage with an armed suspect. The harrowing event unfolded following a welfare call, casting a stark light on the perils faced by law enforcement officers on a daily basis. The attacker, now charged with the attempted murder of two female police officers, is scheduled to appear in court, casting a pall over the law enforcement community.
The Attack
The incident took place in Harlow, when police were alerted to concerns regarding the welfare of a man in Hull Grove. The man was armed with a knife, posing a serious threat to the responding officers. A female officer sustained a head wound in an ensuing encounter and required immediate hospitalization. The second officer was also assaulted but did not require hospital treatment.
Suspect Charged
The suspect, identified as 23-year-old Declan Diedrick, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and possession of a knife. The gravity of the charges reflects the severity of the incident, with two police officers’ lives put in danger. Diedrick’s impending court appearance will undoubtedly be a significant event, with the case carrying implications for the safety of police officers and the broader community.
Aftermath and Recovery
Both officers are currently in the recovery phase. The first officer, who suffered a head wound, was taken to the hospital immediately after the attack but was discharged later that day. The second officer, although assaulted, did not require hospital treatment. The force has rallied around its own, with Chief Superintendent Stuart Hooper emphasizing that the officers’ welfare remains paramount, and they will receive support for as long as needed.

Philly homecoming is sweet for Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Arizona coach Jonathan Gannon was a winner in his return to Philadelphia. Gannon was the Eagles’ defensive coordinator for two seasons under coach Nick Sirianni. Philadelphia had the NFL’s No. 2 defense last season and reached the Super Bowl. But Gannon was blamed a for a defense that collapsed in the second half of a Super Bowl loss to Kansas City, then roasted for a clumsy exit from the Eagles. The Cardinals shocked the Eagles 35-31 on Sunday. Gannon made some risky calls that paid off, and quarterback Kyler Murray says he was happy to win for his coach.

BBC Sound Of 2024: Soul sensation Elmiene kicks off the countdown
Like his heroes Prince and D'Angelo, Elmiene is immersed in the history of soul.
Growing up in Oxford, he devoured the classics studying liner notes and tracing connections between his favourite artists.
Schoolfriends made fun of his tastes, calling him an "oldhead" who was out of touch with the grime scene of the mid-2010s.
"My mates would be listening to a record and I'd recognise the sample, like: 'Yo, that's Dionne Warwick!'
"And they'd be like, 'Who are you talking about?'
"It made me feel a bit to the left of everything that was going on."
But his obsession eventually paid off.
After going viral with a cover of D'Angelo's Untitled (How Does It Feel) in 2021, he was endorsed by Missy Elliot, Pharrell Williams and Questlove.
Rushed into a studio, one of the first songs he wrote, Golden, was hand-picked by the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, and previewed at his final show for Louis Vuitton.
Since then, the musician has released two EPs, steeped in the smooth vocals and poetic lyrics he soaked up as a teenager, while co-writing for Stormzy and jamming in the studio with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake.
Now, he's been voted into fifth place on BBC Radio 1's Sound Of 2024 - chosen by a panel of more than 140 critics, DJs and musicians.
Not bad for someone who, just two years ago, had only written one song.
"I wrote a song for my GCSE music course and I was like, 'That's not really my thing'," he laughs.
"It became a joke amongst my friends. Everyone was like, 'Yo, you could be stacking it, it but you're sitting there on the couch playing Street Fighter!'"
But in another sense, he'd been preparing for this career his whole life.
Born Abdala Elamin, he was nicknamed "the Michael Jackson kid" after performing a mash-up of Man In The Mirror and Adele's Skyfall in his year seven music class.
"At the time, I had a little afro and I was one of, like, four black kids in the school, so that became a big part of my personality," he recalls.
"The whole school would stop me and go, 'Sing for us!' It was a weirdly demanding label to have."
He didn't know it then, but the experience of being "school famous" was going to be advantageous.
In 2021, Elmiene was happily studying creative writing at Bournemouth University, with a job as a security guard waiting for him in Oxford after graduation.
Then, one of his housemates filmed him singing D'Angelo in the back garden.
Unhappy with his performance, he asked her to delete it - but she insisted it was worth posting online.
By the time he woke up the next morning, the world had "gone crazy".
"There were messages from labels. Missy Elliot had retweeted it. I was like, 'OK, this is a possibility.'"
D'Angelo's ghost
Before long, he was in the studio, testing his songwriting skills for the first time. Paired up with a producer called Dan Hylton, he walked in with one simple demand.
"I said to Dan, 'I want to have a crack at a conventional song. Like, verse, chorus, hook - a normal song'."
The song they came up with was Golden, based on a poem Elmiene had written the previous year about his Sudanese grandmother.
"She always told me about her golden years in Sudan, back in the 1950s, the dog she used to have and all of that stuff. So it's all about nostalgia and looking back.
"I remember me and Dan walked out of the studio to the chicken shop, and we were still humming the melody. Dan was like, 'That's the sign of a good song.'"
Even so, Elmiene was "really nervous" about playing it to anyone. "It seemed too intentional an attempt at writing a song," he says.
Fate decided otherwise.
The song came to the attention of Louis Vuitton's musical director Benji B, who played it at Virgil Abloh's final show for the fashion label, two days after his death from cancer, at the age of just 41.
Elmiene's lyrics stopped the audience in their tracks. His reflections on a "miraculous" life from someone whose "blades have been blunted", seemed to encapsulate the beauty and tragedy of Abloh's life.
"That was a mad, fateful coincidence," says the musician. "But from there, the song ended up taking it's own wings.
"People usually ask if that was a daunting feeling, but for me it was confirmation I was doing something right."
Further confirmation came three weeks later, when he played his first proper concert with a band.
With only a few original songs to his name, he was suffering from pre-stage jitters, then something inexplicable happened.
"I got out, stumbled through the first song, and started singing a cover of Bilal's Soul Sista. That's my song, I know it back to front, and I kind of went into a trance.
"And that's when I saw D'Angelo's ghost in the corner of the room."
He still can't quite explain it. For one thing, D'Angelo isn't dead. But the vision felt like an affirmation.
"I thought back to all of his records that I loved, especially the live ones, and I was like, 'This is it. Right now, I'm on the stage [like] he was'. And that let me fly off. The feeling was incredible."
Other artists would get swept up in the moment, chasing the first flush of success. Elmiene is different. Softly-spoken and reflective, he deliberately took a year out before releasing a follow-up to Golden.
"That was my manager's advice," he says. "They were like, 'You've had this lightning in a bottle moment but, when things like this happen, you have to take it in slowly and discover what made the lightning strike in the first place.' So that year was a very important year."
'Such a loverboy'
He used that time to develop his song-writing, developing an unabashedly intimate soul sound, built around quiet percussion, mellow pianos and his deep, mesmerising voice.
But it was also a time of confusion and recalibration. The two EPs he released in 2023 were all about gearing up for the changes his life was about to go through.
"Those songs are there to remind me of who I need to be, as I move on to what's next."
Having studied the greats, he's aware of the pitfalls of fame, but insists "I have faith in myself".
Paraphrasing an Anderson .Paak lyric - "You said I changed, but I didn't do all this stuff just to stay the same" - he says transition doesn't have to be negative.
"You will change, that's something I've accepted, but it's all about how you change."
The same philosophical optimism underpins his music. Even on his current single, Someday, he turns a break-up into a motivational message: "Someday, I want to love like the love I had with you".
Such an unabashedly romantic outlook separates Elmiene from his musical ancestors.
Is he mindful that Prince and Usher's hyper-sexualised lyrics would play badly in 2024?
"I'm just not that kind of guy," he laughs. "Like, Joe is my favourite R&B artist ever and his music's all about sex and passion, but it never crosses my mind to make those kind of songs.
"Everybody's like, 'Oh, you're such a loverboy' and I'm like, 'Yeah, 'cos I'm not into all that other stuff'.
"I'm more romantic. I'm more Donnie Hathway or Stevie Wonder. I'm not Rick James."
Elmiene was chosen for the BBC Sound of 2024 by a panel of 149 music critics, broadcasters, festival bookers and previous nominees Jorja Smith, PinkPantheress and Tom Grennan. The rest of the top five will be announced this week.

Denmark's Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe's longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year's speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to "thoughts about the future" and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. "I have decided that now is the right time," she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a "heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom."
Margrethe is the "epitome of Denmark" Frederiksen's statement read, and "throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation."
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch's role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women's air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe's oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen's announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year's speech which reflected on the "turbulence and upheaval in the world" amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation's people for "the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark."
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
"In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple," he said in his statement. "We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task."

Family Claims Police Failure to Disclose Vital Information Under Clare’s Law Led to Double Murder
The grim tale of Laura Mortimer and her 11-year-old daughter, Ella Dalby, unveils a critical lapse in the administration of Clare’s Law, as claimed by their grieving kin, Hilary Stinchcombe. The brutal murder of this mother-daughter duo in May 2018, at their Gloucester home by Christopher Boon, Mortimer’s partner, has shed light on the potential dangers of the current system. Boon stabbed the victims a horrifying 42 times, a crime that could have been averted if the police had revealed his history of domestic abuse to Mortimer’s family.
Clare’s Law and Its Shortcomings
Named after Clare Wood, who met a similar fate at the hands of an ex-boyfriend with a violent past, Clare’s Law empowers individuals to request information about a person’s history of violent offenses or domestic abuse from the police. However, the law stipulates that the request has to come from the potential victim directly. The failure to disclose Boon’s violent past, which included a suspended sentence from 2010 for assaulting his former partner and her mother, was a result of this condition in the law.
Police Rejection of Background Checks
A deep dive into the issue by The Independent revealed that between October 2021 and March 2022, over half of the 20,226 background check requests on potential domestic abusers were rejected by the police. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for a review of the current procedures and policies under Clare’s Law. The tragic case of Mortimer and Dalby has already led to a policy update by Gloucester Police in 2022, which now facilitates the possibility of disclosure to others in certain circumstances.
A Plea for More Comprehensive Policies
The National Domestic Abuse Helpline continues to offer support to those in need, indicating a persistent and pressing issue. However, the cases of Mortimer, Dalby, and countless others emphasize the need for more comprehensive and accessible policies to protect potential victims of domestic abuse. While the revised policy by Gloucester Police is a step in the right direction, it is clear that more needs to be done on a national scale to ensure the safety of vulnerable individuals at risk of domestic violence.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released on Thursday 28 December 2024 after eight years in prison for killing her mother Dee Dee Blanchard, and a number of series and documentaries have been made about her life.
A new documentary is set to be released in early 2024 and the now 32-year-old Gypsy will discuss her case and detail her time in prison. The series, titled The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard is set to premiere on Lifetime on Friday 5 January at 8pm ET.
The initial release is the first instalment of a 6 hour special, which is split into three programmes. Gypsy Rose herself will recount her time in prison and share her side of the story.

Blanchard’s second episodes will air 6 and 7 January and Gypsy made a statement for the press release. She said: “After a lifetime of silence, I finally get to use my voice to share my story and speak my truth. As a survivor of relentless child abuse, this docuseries chronicles my quest for liberation and journey through self discovery.”
“I am unapologetically myself and unafraid to expose the hidden parts of my life that have never been revealed until now.”
Mommy Dead and Dearest
Her story has been the subject of a number of docuseries, including 2017’s Mommy Dead and Dearest. The show aired on HBO and explores Dee Dee’s murder and events that occurred after her death.
It also covers the abuse Gypsy suffered, which included being forced to take medication she didn’t need, being made to use a wheelchair and being forced to have an unnecessary feeding tube fitted.
According to Google, the documentary is available to watch on YouTube and Amazon Prime Video for a fee.
Love You To Death
Lifetime’s Love You To Death is also based on the mother and daughter’s tragic story.
The TV crime drama film was aired back in 2019 and follows Camille Stoller, the mother of her ill daughter Esme who goes missing after Camille is stabbed to death.
The Act
Hulu’s The Act is a biographical drama true crime series in eight parts, released in 2019. The show features a number of famous faces, including Patricia Arquette, Joey King, AnnaSophia Robb and Chloë Sevigny.
The series is highly dramatised but follows young Gypsy’s story as she rebels against her mother, who tries to control every aspect of her life including attempts to explore her sexuality.
Gypsy eventually discovers that she isn’t sick after all and tensions begin to build between the pair. According to Google, The Act is available on Lionsgate+ and Amazon Prime Video under a subscription and YouTube, Google Play Movies and AppleTV for a fee.
Gypsy’s Thoughts
Ahead of The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s release, she spoke to PEOPLE about her past trauma and the her struggle with coming to terms with what happened.
She explained: “If I had another chance to redo everything, I don’t know if I would go back to when I was a child and tell my aunts and uncles that I [wasn’t] sick and mommy [made] me sick, or if I would travel back to just the point of that conversation with [ex-boyfriend] Nick [Godejohn] and tell him: ‘You know what, I’m going to tell the police everything.’ I kind of struggle with that.”

Jaci Allen’s generosity will help make a big difference in a sick child’s life.
The 12-year-old chopped 20 centimetres off her hair that will be made into a wig for a child who has been affected by cancer on Monday, 18 December.
Sienna Smith, a second-year apprentice at Gallery 104, had the honours of cutting Jaci’s locks.
Jaci said she felt “nervous” but was also “happy” to be helping children who were going through a very tough time.
Jaci’s hair is being sent to Kids with Cancer ‘Wigs 4 Kids’, which is an organisation that prides itself on helping to change a sick child’s life by making them feel more confident. Their partner is Ella Wigmakers, who ensure each wig is carefully matched to the child’s natural colour and style to make them feel more confident.

Russell scores 11 in 4th quarter, No. 19 Louisville beats Miami 77-72
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Jayda Curry scored 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting, Merissah Russell scored 11 of her 12 points in the fourth quarter and No. 19 Louisville beat Miami 77-72 in the sloppy and disjointed ACC opener for both teams.

Russell hit three 3s and made two free throws before Harris made a layup with 55 seconds left to cap a 13-5 run that gave the Cardinals a 73-69 lead. Lemyah Hylton led Miami with 12 points and Ja’Leah Williams scored eight of her 11 in the fourth quarter.

Chaka Khan never actually wanted to go solo
The R&B star got her start as a member of band Rufus, and she wishes it had stayed that way.
Chaka Khan may be every woman, but she never wanted to be the only one.
The R&B superstar recently admitted to Rolling Stone that it was never her desire to be a solo artist. Khan began her career as a member of the band Rufus, and she would've preferred to keep it that way.
As Khan's star rose, she began to be singled out on album covers for the band, leading to strife within the group. "We were having a great time as a group,” she said, “Everybody was getting along. Everything was fine. And I was enjoying it. It was fun. It was great. And it was just when they put my name out front, that’s when all the crap started. The trouble came, because they started focusing on me."
Khan was a late addition to funk band Rufus. The band started their career in 1970, but she didn't join until 1972, replacing Paulette McWilliams as a lead vocalist. Many of Khan's early career successes were Rufus, including her recordings of "Tell Me Something Good" and "Ain't Nobody."
The Grammy winner also explained that she particularly felt bad to have the spotlight turned on her because she joined Rufus after they were already on the rise. "They were a band that had [already] been around for an and I felt really, I was thankful to be with a band like that, with a history," she said. "And it was awkward for me, very awkward. I never did see myself as a solo artist."
But go solo she did, releasing her debut album Chaka in 1978. Khan continued to collaborate with Rufus until they dissolved permanently in 1983.
She found immense success as a solo star, earning eight more Grammy Awards on top of the two she had won with Rufus and regularly topping music charts. Recently, Khan was honored with the Musical Excellence Award by the Rock & Roll Hall of Hame. She also released a new fragrance and is currently on tour celebrating 50 years in the recording industry.

Revelers counted down to midnight on New Year's Eve across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, where fireworks and festive lights offered a hopeful start to 2024 for some, even as the globe's ongoing conflicts raised security concerns and let to subdued and cancelled festivities.
In Australia, more than 1 million people watched the pyrotechnic display near the Sydney Harbor Bridge, packing the shore and boats in the harbor — a number of spectators equivalent to one in five of the city's residents.
"It's total madness," said German tourist Janna Thomas, who waited in line since 7:30 a.m. to secure a prime waterfront location.
People lined up early in New York City to secure a spot in Times Square for the midnight ball drop. Officials and party organizers said they're prepared to keep tens of thousands of revelers safe in heart of Manhattan, as the city has seen near-daily protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war.
Fireworks light up the night
Stunning fireworks displays bloomed at iconic locations like the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, the sleek glass walls of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, in the United Arab Emirates, and accompanied a collective cheer filling the air in Nairobi, Kenya.
China celebrated relatively quietly, with most major cities banning fireworks over safety and pollution concerns. Still, people gathered and performers danced in colorful costumes in Beijing, while a crowd released wish balloons in Chongqing. During his New Year address, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the country would focus on building momentum for economic recovery in 2024 and pledged China would "surely be reunified" with Taiwan.
In Taipei, Taiwan's capital, the mood appeared upbeat as revelers gathered for a fireworks show at the bamboo-shaped Taipei 101 skyscraper, as well as at concerts and other events held throughout the city.
For India, thousands of revelers from the financial hub of Mumbai watched the sun set over the Arabian Sea. In New Delhi, fireworks raised concerns that the capital — already infamous for its poor air quality — would be blanketed by a toxic haze on the first morning of the new year.
Across Japan, people gathered at temples, such as the Tsukiji Temple in Tokyo, where visitors were given free hot milk and corn soup as they stood in line to strike a massive bell.
Pope highlights the human cost of war
At the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled 2023 as a year marked by wartime suffering. During his traditional Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter's Square, he offered prayers for "the tormented Ukrainian people and the Palestinian and Israeli populations, the Sudanese people and many others."
"At the end of the year, we will have the courage to ask ourselves how many human lives have been shattered by armed conflict, how many dead and how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty," the pontiff said.
Gaza and Ukraine wars grind on
In Russia, the country's military actions in Ukraine have overshadowed end-of-year celebrations, with the usual fireworks and concert on Moscow's Red Square canceled, as they were last year. Even without the festivities, people gathered in the square and some cheered and pointed their phones at a clock counting down the year's final seconds.
After shelling in the Russian border city of Belgorod Saturday killed 24 people, some local authorities across Russia also canceled their usual firework displays, including in Vladivostok. Millions were expected to tune in to Russian President Vladimir Putin's New Year's prerecorded address, where he asserted no force that could divide Russians and stop the country's development.
Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip have killed at least 35 people Sunday, hospital officials said, as fighting raged across the tiny enclave a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war will continue for "many more months," resisting international calls for a cease-fire.
Skyscrapers in Tel Aviv were lit up in yellow to call for the release of hostages held by Palestinian militants in Gaza for more than 80 days.
"While you are counting down until the new year, our time and our lives stopped," said Moran Betzer Tayar, the aunt of Yagev Buchshtab, a 34 year old hostage.
In the Gaza Strip, displaced Palestinians huddled around fires in a makeshift refugee camp.
"From the intensity of the pain we live, we do not feel that there is a new year," said Kamal al-Zeinaty, who has lost multiple family members in the conflict. "All the days are the same."
In Iraq, a Christmas tree was decorated with Palestinian flags and symbolic bodies in funeral shrouds, placed beside a liberty monument in central Baghdad. Many Christians in Iraq have cancelled this year's festivities in solidarity with Gaza, and have chosen to limit their celebrations to prayers and rituals.
"We hope that the new year, 2024 will be a year of goodness, prosperity, and joy," said Ahmed Ali, a Baghdad resident.
In Muslim-majority Pakistan, the government has banned all New Year's Eve celebrations in solidarity with the Palestinians.
Global tensions spur security vigilance
New York Mayor Eric Adams said there were "no specific threats" to his city's annual New Year's Eve bash. Police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a "buffer zone" that would allow them to head off potential demonstrations. During last year's party, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square.
Security was also heightened across European cities on Sunday.
German authorities said they had detained three more people in connection with a reported threat of a New Year's Eve attack by Islamic extremists on the world-famous Cologne Cathedral.
In Berlin, some 4,500 police officers are expected to keep order and avoid riots like a year ago. Police in the German capital issued a ban on the traditional use of fire crackers for several streets across the city. They also banned a pro-Palestinian protest in the Neukoelln neighborhood of the city, which has seen several pro-Palestinian riots.
In Paris, over 1.5 million people are expected to attend celebrations on the Champs-Elysees, with around 90,000 law enforcement officers would be deployed nationwide, top officials said. Celebrations in the French capital will center on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, including DJ sets, fireworks and video projections on the Arc de Triomphe.
In a New Year's message, French President Emmanuel Macron predicted that the 2024 European Parliament elections will be crucial to Ukraine's future and the fate of democracy across Europe.

Family of Dutch Model Ivana Smit Appeals to Malaysian Prime Minister for Transparency in Murder Investigation
The family of late Dutch model Ivana Smit is seeking answers from Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim about the ongoing investigation into her mysterious death in 2017. Despite the police reclassifying the case as a murder investigation in 2019, Smit’s family has yet to receive any updates since a press conference held that year. The family’s lawyer, Sébas Diekstra, has issued a public plea to Prime Minister Anwar to intercede, shedding light on unresolved queries about potential third-party involvement in Smit’s death.
A Plea for Transparency
As the family continues to grapple with the loss of their loved one, they are seeking transparency regarding the circumstances of Smit’s death. Their plea comes on the heels of a promise made by former Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, assuring a transparent investigation into the case.
Unveiling the Truth
A Dutch pathologist’s examination has added another layer of complexity to the case, revealing signs of a struggle on Smit’s body. This discovery has escalated suspicion about the circumstances surrounding her death. The Kuala Lumpur High Court had previously ruled her death to be caused by an unknown person or persons, further deepening the mystery.
A Life Cut Short
Ivana Smit, a promising model who had been living in Malaysia since the age of three, tragically lost her life at the tender age of 18. Her untimely death has left a void in the hearts of her family and the Dutch modeling industry. As the investigation into her death continues, her family, friends, and fans eagerly await justice for Ivana.

Steelers keep playoff hopes alive into Week 18 with 30-23 win over Seahawks
SEATTLE (AP) — Najee Harris rushed for a season-high 122 yards and bullied his way into the end zone for a pair of touchdowns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive into Week 18 with a 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Using a punishing running attack that faced little resistance from Seattle, the Steelers (9-7) pushed their way into the final week of the regular season with a chance at the postseason and ensured that Mike Tomlin’s team would yet again avoid a losing record.
Harris had not hit the century mark rushing this season, his closest coming when he ran for 99 yards against Cincinnati. But he combined with Jaylen Warren for a running punch that Seattle struggled to stop.
Harris averaged 4.5 yards per carry and reached the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 17 of last season against Baltimore. Warren added another 75 yards rushing and scored on a 18-yard run in the first quarter.
Harris scored on a 9-yard touchdown run in the second quarter breaking several tackles on his way to the goal line before a final lunge to break the plane. In the third quarter, Harris scored on a 4-yard run with a big assist from his linemen pushing the pile into the end zone to give the Steelers a 24-17 lead.
Pittsburgh thrived against Seattle’s run defense that has been awful for more than half the season and finished with 202 yards rushing and a season-high 468 total yards. Pittsburgh was the sixth straight opponent to rush for at least 135 yards against the Seahawks.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph was 18 of 24 for 274 yards and hit the big throws when needed, none more important than a 34-yard completion to George Pickens on third-and-6 early in the fourth quarter. Pickens made a terrific diving finger-tip catch and led to Chris Boswell’s 26-yard field goal that gave the Steelers a 27-20 lead with 7:07 left.
Rudolph also hit Pickens for 24 yards with two minutes left and Seattle desperately needing a stop. Pickens had seven catches for 131 yards.
Seattle (8-8) had its two-game win streak snapped and while the Seahawks weren’t eliminated from the postseason, they will need a victory and a lot of help in Week 18.
Geno Smith threw for 290 yards and a 12-yard TD to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first half. Kenneth Walker III added 53 yards rushing and a 13-yard TD in the first half, but the Seahawks settled for three field goals in the second half and Smith committed one big turnover.
Nick Herbig forced and recovered a fumble sacking Smith with seven minutes left, giving the Steelers possession at the Seattle 16 and Boswell’s 21-yard field goal with 4:31 left pushed the Pittsburgh lead to 30-20.
INJURIES
Seattle took two major hits to its offensive line. Starting right tackle Abe Lucas played the entire first half, but went to the locker room early before the second quarter ended and was ruled out with a knee injury when the second half started.
Three plays into the third quarter, center Evan Brown had to be helped off the field and was ruled out with a concussion.
UP NEXT
Steelers: Pittsburgh will be at Baltimore in Week 18.
Seahawks: Seattle closes out the regular season at Arizona next week.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor solid in return to lineup but misses potential winning 2-point conversion
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Many fans were unhappy when New York Giants coach Brian Daboll decided to switch quarterbacks this week and had veteran Tyrod Taylor start in place of popular rookie Tommy DeVito.
Taylor missed a wide-open open Saquon Barkley with a short pass on a potential game-winning 2-point conversion try and fumbled a fourth-down snap in Giants territory to set a Rams' touchdown, but was otherwise impressive in a 26-25 setback to red-hot Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 34-year-old Taylor was 27 of 41 for 319 yards and a touchdown and scrambled 31 yards in the final minute to set up a potential winning 54-yard field goal by Mason Crosby in the waning seconds. Crosby missed wide left and might have been short.
Taylor also threw an interception in the second quarter that resulted in some fans chanting: “Tommy! Tommy!” but he put up more passing yards in this game than DeVito did in any of his six starts. The undrafted rookie's best was 246 in a win over Washington.
Taylor's 319 yards passing were two shy of the team high of 321 set by Daniel Jones in the second week of the season. His 80-yard TD pass to Darius Slayton was the team's longest offensive play from scrimmage this year, besting the 69-yarder he had to Slayton on Christmas after replacing DeVito in the second half against the Eagles.
“I think I played well, but like I told you, I judge myself off wins and losses and ultimately today wasn’t a winning performance, so it’s room to grow,” Taylor said.
The play that will stick out is the 2-point try after Gunner Olszewski broke a tackle and returned a punt 94 yards to get the Giants within a point with 3:27 to play. New York was going to go for the tying extra point, but an encroachment penalty changed those plans and the Giants went for the win from the 1-yard line.
Taylor rolled right and saw Barkley crossing the field open after he faked an inside run. But Taylor was indecisive and his pass fell to the ground, leaving many in MetLife Stadium stunned.
“Saquon was open,” Taylor said. “Was kind of caught in between running it and throwing it and didn’t do either one of them, but yeah, I've got to be better. It’s a routine throw, something I’ve hit plenty of times before. But yeah, that moment I didn’t execute.”
After the defense held, Taylor's run got New York to the Rams 35. With no timeouts, the ball was spiked on first down. The coaches followed that with a draw call that Los Angeles stuffed. Following an incomplete pass, Crosby missed the kick which was at his maximum range.
“As a competitor, any time you lose, it’s never a good feeling,” Taylor said. “I can’t say whether one is harder to shake off versus the other, it’s just about looking at it with a critical eye. Like I said, looking in the mirror, asking yourself what you could’ve done better and attack those for the next week.”
Barkley, who carried 12 times for 39 yards, would not question the coaches on the draw call.
“Any time it’s a one-score game or a close game, any team can feel like they should’ve won, but at the end of the day, only one team gets a ‘W’ in the win column and we didn’t do that,” he said. “We had opportunities, we had a chance to win, but we failed to as a team.”

Foiled Terror Plot: German Police Arrest Suspects Planning Attack on Cologne Cathedral
German law enforcement agencies have apprehended several individuals suspected of planning an attack on the iconic Cologne Cathedral. The arrests were conducted during a series of raids across different cities in North Rhine-Westphalia. According to the police, the individuals in custody were believed to be in the advanced stages of preparing a violent act targeting the cathedral, one of Germany’s most treasured landmarks.
Details of the Arrest
The suspects allegedly belong to a larger network of Islamic extremists spread across Germany and other European countries. The North Rhine-Westphalia’s Interior Minister has hailed the detentions as a ‘success’, noting that the planned attack was to be executed with a car. The exact nature of the planned attack has not been disclosed, but the police have indicated that they seized substantial evidence during the raids.
Heightened Security Measures
In response to the threat, the Cologne Cathedral was temporarily closed to tourists, and security measures were ramped up. Over 1,000 police officers were stationed around the cathedral as celebrations marking the end of 2023 commenced. This incident underscores the ongoing concerns over security at major landmarks and public spaces across Europe. The German authorities have increased their state of alert and are taking additional precautions around other potential targets.
Repercussions and Public Response
The arrests have sparked widespread discussions about the balance between ensuring public safety and preserving the open and accessible nature of cultural heritage sites. Public officials and the general public alike have lauded the law enforcement agencies for their swift action, effectively preventing a potential tragedy. As we move into 2024, the vigilance of these agencies will undoubtedly be crucial in maintaining the safety of Germany’s beloved landmarks and public spaces.

Taylor Heinicke struggles as Falcons lose to Bears, leaving them with narrow path to playoffs
CHICAGO (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons had a chance to increase their slim chances of making the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They failed. And a familiar problem played a major role. Taylor Heinicke threw three of Atlanta’s four interceptions during the Falcons’ 37-17 loss at the Chicago Bears. He was 10 for 29 for 163 yards in his second straight start after Desmond Ridder was benched for the second time this season. The Falcons can still take the division if they win at New Orleans next weekend and the Buccaneers lose or tie at Carolina. There is no pathway to a wild card for Atlanta.

Indie Film’s Breakout Year: Good Movies Gain Traction Amid Strikes & Superhero Fatigue
The indie box office busted out this year, hitting is stride post-Covid with an eclectic string of releases that made a splash artistically and financially.
Independents and mini-majors saw $1.47 billion in box office receipts as of Dec. 27, up from $811.7 million in 2022, according to Comscore.
More from Deadline
Focus Features had the biggest limited opening of the year with Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City (gross $28 million). Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers with Paul Giamatti ($17.9 million) drew older demos, picky, yes, but finally comfortable back in theaters. Ditto for MGM’s Air, a film Amazon originally slated to go directly to Prime Video, that hit a core 45+ audience and a $52 million cume.
A24’s Past Lives, the much-nominated first film by Celine Song, made $10.9 million and its low-budget horror Talk to Me cleared $48 million. Emma Seligman’s raunchy teen comedy Bottoms from MGM topped $12 million. A fall bonanza heading into awards season with Anatomy Of A Fall, Origin and Ferrari from Neon; A24’s Priscilla, Dream Scenario and The Iron Claw; Saltburn, American Fiction and The Boys In The Boat from MGM; Poor Things and All Of Us Strangers from Searchlight Pictures and Waitress: The Musical from Bleeker Street and, as per above, The Holdovers. A constellation of indie distributors from Sony Pictures Classics to Magnolia Pictures, IFC Films, Utopia, Oscilloscope, Kino Lorber, Roadside Attractions, Greenwich Entertainment, IFC Films, Sideshow/Janus, Music Box, Picturehouse, Crunchyroll, GKids, Well Go USA, Blue Fox, Mubi and dozens more had successful releases.
Sound of Freedom from Angel Studios made $184 million.
Godzilla Minus One from Toho was a sleeper hit that punched above its weight at $44 million.
And Radical from Pantelion/Participant with Eugenio Derbez grossed $8.6 million.
Indian films flooded into theaters, frequently popping into the weekend top ten with standouts Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, Dunki, Jawan, Animal, Jailer Gadar 4 and Pathaan.
A24’s re-release of The Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense by Jonathan Demme topped $5 million — more than its initial 1984 release. Ditto for Neon’s remastered Old Boy at $1.75 million, outgrossing its 2003 theatrical run of the Park Chan-Wook film.
“I think there’s a huge resurgence of indie film” this year, said Comscore senior media analyst Paul Degarabedian.
“These films can really generate some heat, not only at the box office but creatively and critically. On a per theater basis. On a profitability basis. They should be looked at as hits.” They are not a large percentage of the overall box office but, “It’s that cumulative horsepower of some of these indie films that are very important.”
An anomaly this year: indies from big guns A24 and Neon on down had interim agreements from SAG-AFTRA allowing them to promote films with cast during the long actors’ strike. Studios could not, so pushed some releases (Warner Bros. moved Dune: Part Two from November to March 2024, MGM nudged Challengers from September to April to name a few).
Fewer big films in the marketplace may have helped the independents.
The very pointed fan boredom with half-baked studio superhero movies did not hurt the indie business either.
However, “It’s not like people are going to see bad independent movies at the cinema. People go out for quality,” says Jonathan Sehring, who launched Sideshow with Janus Films two-and-a-half years ago, debuting with Drive My Car. Releases this year included The Eight Mountains, Orlando, My Political Biography and Wim Wender’s Anselm.
Kevin Wilson, head of theatrical distribution for Amazon and MGM is upbeat on original content in 2024 given the strong end of the year. “You started to see some breakouts on those types of films, which we haven’t seen in a long time…I think there’s more room for those next year. I think cinephiles and adult audiences are paying more attention now to what’s there theatrically for them because, in all honesty, there hasn’t been enough out there for them in the last few years. It’s all content driven. If the content’s there, they’ll go.”
“This year is encouraging across the board,” agreed Lisa Bunnell, head of distribution at Focus Features.
Output Blues
A24, which had 14 releases this year that also include Ari Aster’s Beau Is Afraid, You Hurt My Feelings and All Dirt Roads Taste Of Salt, inked a multi-year output deal with Warner Bros./Max in early December that was the talk of the town among indie distributors. Output agreements, which provide cash, and allow distributors to chase higher priced films on the festival circuit, have become increasingly rare and the best some indie distributors can hope for are one-off deals with different streamers, major or minor.
“I am very buoyed by A24’s new output deal,” said Arianna Bocco, the longtime head of IFC Films who left earlier this year. “But some of the conversation is, can we find a model that is not entirely dependent on an output deal, where there is some healthy open market?” There is so much choice on a big streamer “that unless you are really well placed, you are gong to get lost in the mix.”
A24’s success in general “is an exciting reminder of where others could go at some point,” said Kyle Greenberg, head of marketing for Utopia. “What they do is integral for arthouse films.” Utopia (Shiva Baby, Everyone’s Going To The World’s Fair, Holy Spider, Sick of Myself) is currently rolling out The Sweet East buy Sean Price Williams.
“It’s an interesting time when the Marvel and superhero films are receiving less attention. Hopefully, that creates a lane for more original films and storytelling,” he said. “But [indie distributors] are still in competition with studios. And streamers have great filmmakers on their rosters” from Tod Haynes’ May December (Netflix) to Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon (Apple) this year.
“How do you compete when there are a bunch of other companies [who] overspend on things to make a name for themselves?” asked Kyle Westphal, head of theatrical sales at Music Box Films (Fremont, The Unknown Country, L’Immensita’). “You can’t compete with that. Because if they say, ‘We want to pay a million dollars for this’, and their business model is losing money, you saying, ‘I want to be at a million dollars and ten cents’, when you know you can’t recoup that, doesn’t make sense.”
“I don’t have a satisfying answer. Other than there’s still a hunger out there for quality films. There are people out there who are still hungry for independent and international films,” he said.
“Maybe some days you get lucky with streaming. Some days you get lucky with stuff that’s more traditional. Airlines still license independent films. There are all kinds of not sexy, not headline grabbing, ways to recoup expenses. It’s not always an output deal. It’s often a combination of things,” Westphal said. “There’s no silver bullet. If you have an output deal, that’s great. But for an independent distributor that isn’t in that position, it is still a matter of how much can you get from theatrical, how much can you get from a smaller streamer, how much can you get from transactional, how much can you get from airlines, how much can you get from basically any source of revenue.”
What ‘s An indie?
As the entertainment landscape shifts, it’s become a bit harder to define an independent or a specialty film. The Comscore list this year excludes films by the five major Hollywood studio. It doe includes Focus, Searchlight and Sony Pictures Classics, which are studio affiliates, as well as Amazon MGM Studios. It has Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé both distributed by AMC Entertainment through Variance Films, and event programming from Fathom (The Blind topped $17 million) and Trafalgar (BTS: Yet To Come In Cinemas made $8.7 million).
“I think [independent] is in the eye of the beholder,” said Degarabedian.
Sound of Freedom earned more domestically than Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ($17 million)and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning ($172 million). Indian films are a great example of how the lines are blurring as they can be huge epics but play for a specialized audience.
“Wes Anderson movies have gotten big enough where in some cases if you just look at the box office you’d say, ‘Oh, that’s not an indie film.’ Then you’d look at the budget, or the director.”
What indie distributors big and small have in common — they seek original ideas, they nurture new talent. Said Kyle Greenberg, head of marketing and distribution at Utopia. “We need to champion art. People don’t walk into the Louvre, and look at the Mona Lisa, and ask how much money it’s made. Yes, obviously distribution is a business. But we need to remember that film is an art form.”
Kevin Wilson of MGM is upbeat on original content in 2024 given the strong end of the year. “You started to see some breakouts on those types of films, which we haven’t seen in a long time…I think there’s more room for those next year. I think cinephiles and adult audiences are paying more attention now to what’s there theatrically for them because, in all honesty, there hasn’t been enough out there for them in the last few years. It’s all content driven. If the content’s there, they’ll go.”.

Forgery and Cheating Charges against Zaid Master, Atiq Ahmed’s Brother-in-law
The Prayagraj Police have lodged a legal case against Zaid Master, a history lecturer at MR Sherwani College and brother-in-law of Ashraf, the sibling of the late notorious gangster-turned-politician, Atiq Ahmed. Zaid Master is under investigation for forgery and cheating. He is alleged to have conspired with another individual to sign the attendance register at the college on his behalf, a fraudulent act that raises serious questions about his professional integrity.
Charges of Forgery and Cheating
Upon noticing Zaid Master’s frequent absence from the college campus, the college principal reported the irregularity to the police. The police investigation revealed that Master’s attendance was recorded up to November 18, 2023, despite his conspicuous absence. The First Information Report (FIR) lodged against Master cites sections 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code, pertaining to cheating by personation and cheating with dishonesty, respectively.
Previous Legal Tangles
Interestingly, this is not Zaid Master’s first brush with the law. He and his sister were previously accused of illegal land acquisition, a case that is still under adjudication. Zaid Master’s connection to the notorious Atiq Ahmed further complicates the situation. Ahmed, along with his brother Ashraf, was murdered on April 15, 2023, by assailants posing as journalists.
The Larger Picture
While the police are actively seeking to apprehend Zaid Master, the larger narrative surrounding this case is the legal status of Atiq Ahmed’s family. The Uttar Pradesh government has reported to the Supreme Court that their investigation into the Ahmed brothers’ murders found no evidence of police misconduct. A Public Interest Litigation related to the killings remains pending before the Supreme Court. As the police unravel Zaid Master’s alleged act of forgery and cheating, the spotlight continues to shine on the tangled web of criminality linked to Atiq Ahmed’s family.

Thompson scores 17 to lead Oklahoma State over South Carolina State 86-70
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Bryce Thompson scored 17 points as all five starters scored in double figures and Oklahoma State pulled away in the second half to beat South Carolina State 86-70. Thompson sank 5 of 11 shots with four 3-pointers for the Cowboys, adding four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Quion Williams contributed 16 points and 10 rebounds for his second double-double of the season. Williams had 10 points and five boards by halftime to help Oklahoma State take a 38-34 lead. Drayton Jones and Jordan Simpson opened the second half with layups and the Bulldogs pulled even. Thompson answered with a 3-pointer to ignite a 17-3 run and the Cowboys stayed comfortably in front from there on the way to their fourth straight victory.

Justin Fields, DJ Moore lead way as Bears deal Falcons' hopes a big blow with 37-17 romp
CHICAGO (AP) — Justin Fields noticed the smoke in the air and the cigars on a table as he walked into the locker room. By then, the celebration was under way.
Fields threw for 268 yards with a touchdown pass and a rushing TD in what could be his final home game for Chicago, and Bears dealt Atlanta’s postseason hopes a big blow, beating the Falcons 37-17 on a snowy Sunday.
DJ Moore finished with nine catches for 159 yards and a touchdown, and Khalil Herbert ran for 124 yards and a score.
With little wiggle room to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017 — and coach Arthur Smith's future in question — the Falcons (7-9) got overwhelmed by Chicago (7-9).
The Bears grabbed a 21-7 halftime lead with Fields and Moore leading the way and rolled to their fourth win in five games.
“I will definitely remember this game for the rest of my life — just the atmosphere the fans, the chants, the snow,” said Fields, who grew up about 30 miles from Atlanta in Kennesaw, Georgia. “I don’t like snow as a quarterback but looking back on it it was great. But yeah, the spirit of the fans, the game, playing the hometown team, the hometown team where I’m from, beating them, so it was good.”
Fields said he was “surprised” by the cigar smoke. The turnaround the Bears have orchestrated this season might be a little more stunning considering the way their second season under general manager Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus started.
Defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned in September under circumstances that have not been fully explained, and running backs coach David Walker got fired leading up to the Week 9 loss at New Orleans, with Poles indicating it was for behavior. The Bears were 1-5 following a loss to Minnesota at Soldier Field in which Fields dislocated his right thumb. But things have changed since then.
“I know it's a couple wins and all that, but I'm just saying that just to get that vibe in there of, ‘Hey, we can do this,’ that was certainly exciting for the players in there," Eberflus said.
Fans chanted Fields' name with his future as murky as ever. The Bears own the No. 1 pick in the draft thanks to their blockbuster trade with Carolina for Moore last March and could take Caleb Williams or Drake Maye.
If this was Fields' final game at Soldier Field as a Bear, he went out with one of his better all-around performances.
Fields completed 20 of 32 passes and ran for 45 yards. Though he was sacked three times, he also spun out of a few.
Fields threw a neat 7-yard touchdown pass to Moore on Chicago’s first drive and ran for a 9-yard score on the next possession to make it 14-0 early in the second quarter.
Herbert set a season high for the second straight week after rushing for 112 yards last Sunday in a win over Arizona.
Roschon Johnson ran for a TD. Tyrique Stevenson had two of Chicago’s four interceptions, and the Bears won their fifth in a row at home after a 10-game skid at Soldier Field.
The Falcons struggled to get going on offense after setting a season high in scoring last week in a 29-10 win over Indianapolis. They finished with 307 yards, a week after gaining 406.
"You want to go out there and try to win, try to execute plays, and it sucks that sometimes we can’t pull through,” receiver Drake London said. “We’ve been trying for a while now and I mean we just got to keep on going and try to make the best of the situation right now.”
Taylor Heinicke, making his second straight start with Desmond Ridder benched, threw for 163 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions. He scrambled 24 yards for a TD early in the fourth quarter to cut it to 27-17 and departed near the end of the game after his left ankle flared up.
Ridder threw a late pick.
Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson tied William Andrews’ team rookie record of 1,332 scrimmage yards, set in 1979. He had 75 yards rushing and 11 receiving.
Tyler Allgeier turned a screen pass into a 75-yard touchdown in the second quarter. But the usually reliable Younghoe Koo had a rough time in the windy conditions, missing two early field goals as Atlanta fell to 2-6 on the road.
INJURIES
Falcons: CB Mike Hughes exited with a concussion after he was hurt late in the third quarter defending a pass to a lunging Tyler Scott in the end zone that hit off the receiver’s hands. ... C Drew Dalman (ankle) was injured late in the game.
Bears: CB Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) left after he was hurt making a tackle on Robinson late in the second quarter.

Bears: Visit Green Bay next weekend.

From Moscow to Madrid: A Tale of Unrest and Activism
On a seemingly ordinary day in the east of Moscow, a resident born in 1981 shocked the community by causing significant damage to 13 parked vehicles before abruptly fleeing the scene. The baffling incident, which left the quiet neighborhood in a state of disbelief, has spurred both shock and speculation over the motive behind the sudden outburst of destruction.
Uncontrolled Outburst or Premeditated Act?
The man responsible for the incident has been identified, and his actions have drawn the attention of local law enforcement agencies. As investigations unfold, officials are probing into the possible reasons behind the man’s actions. Was it an uncontrolled outburst fueled by personal issues or a premeditated act meant to send a message?
Consequences Await the Unhinged Driver
The act of damaging property and leaving the scene is not only dangerous but also illegal. The individual responsible for the incident now faces serious legal consequences. While the man’s motives remain unknown, the aftermath of his actions has left a trail of destruction that has disrupted the peace and order of the once quiet neighborhood.
Public Outcry Toward Middle Eastern Conflict
In a separate event, the streets of Madrid witnessed an outpouring of international engagement and activism. Dozens of protesters convened outside the Spanish Foreign Ministry, voicing their demands for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues, global concerns over the impact on the region and its people intensify.
The demonstrations in Madrid reflect a growing global awareness and concern over the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict. As the world watches, it is a stark reminder of the power of public demonstration in influencing political discourse and action.
While these two incidents are unrelated, they serve as a snapshot of the current global climate – a world in which civil unrest and public demonstration are becoming increasingly prevalent in various contexts. From a quiet neighborhood in Moscow to the streets of Madrid, these incidents highlight the importance of maintaining peace and security in our interconnected world.

Trae Young has 40 points and 13 assists, Hawks outlast Wizards 130-126
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trae Young had 40 points and 13 assists, Dejounte Murray added 32 points and the Atlanta Hawks overcame a slow start and spotty late foul shooting to beat the Washington Wizards 130-126 on Sunday.
Jalen Johnson scored a career-high 24 points and had 13 rebounds on a day when four Hawks finished with double-doubles to help their team remain unbeaten against the Wizards this season.
Clint Capela had 11 points and 17 rebounds. Saddiq Bey had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
“It’s up to me and (Dejounte) to put guys into positions to be successful,” Young said. ”We just try to mix it up and let everybody show their talent.”
Atlanta outrebounded Washington 58-42 and snapped a four-game slide. The game narrowed late only because the Hawks shot poorly from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter.
“I missed five free throws tonight, which is crazy,” said Young, who finished 14 of 19 from the line. “That allowed them to stay in the game.”
Kyle Kuzma scored 38 points and hit seven 3-pointers for Washington, which was trying to secure its first consecutive wins of the season.
Four of Kuzma’s 3s came in the first quarter as the Wizards sprinted to an early 17-4 lead only to give it back before the period ended.
He finished with 18 attempts from beyond the arc while the Wizards took 53 total, both of which were franchise records.
“Honestly, the vast majority of them were pretty good,” Washington coach Wes Unseld Jr. said of those shots. “It’s just finding that balance of great shots, open 3s, versus when you’re not making them, get to the paint, create something downhill.”
Deni Advija had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Wizards, who completed a four-game homestand with one victory.
The Hawks took the lead for good in the second quarter and closed the first half on an 18-6 run.
Washington briefly got within two in the third before Murray scored 10 points to help Atlanta answer with a 15-3 sequence. His last basket, a 3-pointer off Young’s 11th assist, stretched it to 98-84 with 1:32 left in the third.
The lead was 123-108 after Young hit a 3 with 2:16 remaining. From there Atlanta made only 7 of 14 foul shots, which combined with quick Washington baskets to make for some late nervy moments.
“The end of the game became a little bit of an adventure,” said Atlanta coach Quin Snyder. “But I don’t want that to detract from the things that we did for the majority of the game.”

Kyren Williams runs for 3 TDs as Rams beat Giants 26-25 and clinch playoff berth with Seahawks loss
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams returned to the postseason after a year's absence with a little help following a game during which they didn't look like much of a playoff team.
Kyren Williams ran for 87 yards and a career-best three touchdowns and the Rams won their third straight and sixth in seven games with a much harder-than-expected 26-25 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday.
Los Angeles, which followed a Super Bowl win with a 5-12 season in 2022, clinched the playoff berth when Pittsburgh knocked off the Seahawks 30-23 in Seattle roughly three hours after the Rams' game at MetLife Stadium ended.
“We are never going to take for granted being able to get wins,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “There were things that we did to try to not win this game today. But our guys found a way.
"Sometimes you need these types of games. It seemed we were a little off, but they kept staying together.”
Matthew Stafford threw for 317 yards and a touchdown, but also had his first two interceptions in the last five games as the Rams (9-7) won their third straight and sixth in the last seven games.
“We obviously didn’t play best on the offensive side of the ball, but our defense got some critical stops late in the game," said Stafford, who was 24 of 34 passing. “Not the cleanest game, but we found a way to win. A win is a win. It was a crazy game. Felt like I was seeing it well, but obviously made two bad throws.”
The Giants (5-11) had a chance to pull off an upset when Gunner Olszewski scored on a 94-yard punt return to get New York within a point with 3:27 to play. After an encroachment penalty on the extra point attempt, coach Brian Daboll elected to go for a 2-point conversion —but Tyrod Taylor missed a wide-open Saquon Barkley on a rollout to the right.
Taylor admitted having trouble deciding whether run for the 2 points or throw the ball.
“He just missed it,” Daboll said of Taylor, who was 27 of 41 and ran six times for 40 yards while being sacked six times. “We had Saquon. Just short-armed it a little bit.”
Later, a 31-yard run by Taylor allowed Mason Crosby to attempt a game-winning 54-yard field goal, but it was wide left and might have not had the distance.
“I stopped looking when it turned left,” Crosby said.
Williams, the NFL's second leading rusher coming in, scored on runs of 4, 2 and 28 yards. The 2-yard score was set up by an 80-yard catch-and-run by rookie Puka Nacua in the third quarter. A 37-yard pass from Stafford to Demarcus Robinson set up Williams' 28-yard score in the fourth quarter. Rams kicker Lucas Havrisik missed two extra points to keep it close
Taylor threw for 319 yards in his first start since replacing Tommy DeVito, including an 80-yard scoring catch-and-run to Darius Slayton. Wan'Dale Robinson also scored on a 24-yard run on an end-around and Crosby kicked two field goals, but missed an extra point after Slayton's TD that kept the Rams in front 20-16.
Dane Belton had two interceptions and a fumble recovery for New York. Stafford had thrown 170 consecutive passes without an interception until Belton ended the run with his first pick of the season.
Despite turning the ball over twice, Los Angeles led 14-10 at halftime on Williams' 10th rushing touchdown and a 4-yard TD pass from Stafford to Kupp.
A 24-yard end-around by Robinson and a second-chance 31-yard field goal by Crosby accounted for the Giants' scoring. Ben Skowronek blocked Crosby's first attempt from 45 yards, but he was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for making a running leap over the line to block it.
Nacua finished with five catches for 118 yards, leaving him four receptions shy of breaking the NFL single-season record for rookies set by Miami's Jaylen Waddle (104) in 2021. Nacua also needs 29 yards to pass Bill Groman (1,473) for the most yards receiving in a single season by a rookie in franchise history.
INJURIES:
Rams: LT Alaric Jackson was inactive for personal reasons. ... NT Bobby Brown hurt his right knee late in the first quarter and did not return.
Giants: Rookie CB Deonte Banks missed the game with a shoulder injury. ... RT Tyre Phillips (ankle) hurt a knee on the opening series, returned and was hurt against in the fourth quarter, needing to be carted off. ... S Jason Pinnock left in the first quarter with a foot injury.
UP NEXT
Rams: Tune up for the postseason with a game at San Francisco.
Giants: End the season at home against Philadelphia.

Chief Justice Roberts casts a wary eye on the uses of artificial intelligence in the federal courts
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump.
Describing artificial intelligence as the “latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
“Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.”
At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote.
The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot.
Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts.
Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges.
At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote.
Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.”

High-Volume Gunfire Incident Triggers Massive Law Enforcement Response at MGM Signature Towers
In an event that has sent shockwaves through Las Vegas, a significant law enforcement response has been mobilized around the iconic MGM Signature Towers following reports of a high volume of gunfire, estimated by witnesses to be around 30 to 40 shots, emanating from a balcony. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, SWAT teams, and additional agencies have been deployed to the site, resulting in a complete lockdown of the towering structure. The usually bustling Harmon Avenue has been sealed off between Las Vegas Boulevard and Koval Lane, adding to the gravity of the situation.
Investigation and Response
Authorities are actively conducting an investigation into the shooting incident. At the heart of the investigation is a person of interest identified as Jon Letzkus, 45, who has been taken into custody. Despite the intense situation, there have been no injuries reported so far, a fact that provides some relief amidst the chaos. The public has been advised to steer clear of the vicinity due to the fluid and potentially dangerous circumstances.
Evacuation and Lockdown
As the investigation proceeds, evacuation procedures have been initiated for those inside the building amidst ongoing reports of further shooting. The swift action of law enforcement and emergency services has ensured the safety of the occupants so far. The situation, however, remains volatile, with the MGM Signature Towers under complete lockdown and the surrounding areas cordoned off.
Impact on Las Vegas
The incident has brought normal life in the vicinity to a standstill. As the investigation unfolds, the city waits with bated breath. The effect of this event on the safety perception of the city, known for its vibrant nightlife and entertainment options, remains to be seen. This incident once again underscores the need for stringent security measures and vigilance in public spaces.

Mike Tomlin keeps his streak alive, Steelers remain in playoff hunt with win over Seahawks
We'll have at least one more year of hearing about Mike Tomlin's streak.
For the 17th straight season, Tomlin will not have a losing record. The Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-23 to move to 9-7, and more importantly than clinching another non-losing season for Tomlin, it kept Pittsburgh alive in the AFC wild-card race. Pittsburgh will need to win and get some help next week to get a wild-card spot, but they'll still be in the race going into the season finale. For the Seahawks, it drops them back to .500 and is a blow in their playoff hunt.
A two-game winning streak for the Steelers coincided with finally turning to Mason Rudolph at quarterback. The Steelers stuck with Rudolph despite Kenny Pickett being healthy enough to be listed as questionable on the injury report, which usually means a player will suit up. Pickett was inactive, Rudolph started and the Steelers continued to keep their season alive with a big win.
The Steelers were in a lot of trouble when they had a three-game losing streak in December. But a Tomlin-coached team wasn't going to fade away that easily.
Steelers pound Seattle in run game
The Steelers, who looked like they were ready to call it a season a couple weeks ago in a listless loss to the Indianapolis Colts, looked like a much different team in the first half Sunday. They rushed for 145 yards in the first half. The Fox broadcast said that was the most for Pittsburgh since a 2006 game against Kansas City. Their leading rushers that day were Willie Parker and Najeh Davenport.
Jaylen Warren got the scoring started for the Steelers with an 18-yard touchdown run. The Steelers led for most of the game after that. Najee Harris scored a couple of touchdowns, and the Steelers led 24-17 into the third quarter.
The game was still in the balance when the defense made a huge play. With seven minutes left and the Steelers leading 27-20, Geno Smith was strip-sacked by Nick Herbig. Pittsburgh recovered at the 16-yard line. The Steelers only got a field goal out of the ensuing drive, but a 10-point lead was significant at that point in the game.
Seahawks take a step back
For the Seahawks, a loss didn't eliminate them from the playoff race but it didn't help their chances. They moved back to 8-8 with the loss, which is fitting in what has been a mediocre season.
The defense let down in a big spot, against an offense that has struggled most of the season. The offense wasn't bad but there weren't a lot of game-changing explosive plays. The Steelers also crushed Seattle in time of possession.
The Seahawks tried to rally late. A drive deep into Steelers territory didn't result in a touchdown, and Seattle settled for a field goal just before the two-minute warning. They tried an onside kick trailing 27-20 but Pittsburgh recovered. A reception to Pickens for a first down and a Harris run for another first down ended the game.
The Steelers still need a lot to go right to make the playoffs. But they're alive, and it looked like there was no chance of that happening a couple weeks ago.

US national debt nears $34 trillion; majority of voters say economy is in bad shape
The U.S. government’s total debt was fast approaching $34 trillion as of Friday afternoon, according to the latest numbers from the U.S. Treasury.
The Treasury reported Wednesday that nearly $27 trillion of the total national debt is held by the public.
It comes about six months since congressional Republicans struck a deal with President Biden to raise the debt limit in June.
AMERICANS DESCRIBE STRUGGLES TO AFFORD FOOD WHILE BIDEN TOUTS STRONG ECONOMY: ‘I AM HONESTLY SCARED’
The fast-paced growth of the national debt has become an increasingly fraught topic on Capitol Hill, Republicans and Democrats agreeing it should be brought under control but differing on how to do it.
The bipartisan debt limit deal suspended the ceiling until January 2025.
At the time the deal was struck, the U.S. debt limit was $31.4 trillion. It hit $32 trillion later that same month.
HOW DOES BIPARTISAN BUDGET, DEBT LIMIT DEAL IMPACT SPENDING, DEFICIT?
"The national debt just exceeded $100,000 per citizen. This should send a message to the White House that this reckless federal spending is at a breaking point," Rep. John James, R-Mich., said earlier this month when the grim benchmark was reached.
"It’s a crisis," Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, agreed.
More than three-quarters of registered voters polled by Fox News in December said the economy is not in good shape, with 78% of respondents rating it only fair or poor.
CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON FOX BUSINESS
Just 21% of voters said the economy was in good shape.
A majority of people from all parties rated the economy negatively, including 61% of Democrats and 93% of Republicans.
Among the independent voter bloc, which was critical to Biden’s 2024 White House victory, 85% saw the economy in a bad light, according to the poll.
More than three times as many respondents said the Biden administration’s economic policies have hurt them personally as those who have said they've helped.

Denmark's Queen Margrethe II announced Sunday that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik.
The queen, who is Europe's longest-reigning living monarch, announced during her New Year's speech that she would step down on Jan. 14th, which is the anniversary of her own accession to the throne at age 31 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX.
Margrethe, 83, said the back surgery she underwent in early 2023 led to "thoughts about the future" and when to pass on the responsibilities of the crown to her son. "I have decided that now is the right time," she said in her speech.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen paid tribute to her in a statement, offering a "heartfelt thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for her lifelong dedication and tireless efforts for the Kingdom."
Margrethe is the "epitome of Denmark" Frederiksen's statement read, and "throughout the years has put words and feelings into who we are as a people and as a nation."
The 6-foot-tall (1.82-meters-tall), chain-smoking Margrethe has been one of the most popular public figures in Denmark, where the monarch's role is largely ceremonial. She often walked the streets of Copenhagen virtually unescorted and won the admiration of Danes for her warm manners and for her talents as a linguist and designer.
A keen skier, she was a member of a Danish women's air force unit as a princess, taking part in judo courses and endurance tests in the snow. Margrethe remained tough even as she grew older. In 2011, at age 70, she visited Danish troops in southern Afghanistan wearing a military jumpsuit.
As monarch, she crisscrossed the country and regularly visited Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the two semi-independent territories which are part of the Danish Realm, and was met everywhere by cheering crowds.
Denmark has Europe's oldest ruling monarchy, which traces its line back to the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958. Although Magrethe is head of state, the Danish Constitution strictly ruled out her involvement in party politics.
Yet the queen was clearly well-versed in law and knew the contents of the legislation she was called upon to sign.
She received training in French and English from her earliest years, as well as Swedish from her mother. In addition to archaeology, she studied philosophy, political science and economics at universities in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Cambridge along with the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne in Paris.
Ever since his birth on May 26, 1968, Frederik André Henrik Christian has been the heir to the Danish throne.
He is the oldest son of Queen Margrethe and her late French-born husband, Prince Henrik, who died February 2018. Frederik, 55, has a younger brother, Prince Joachim.
Since the age of 18, he has served as regent whenever his mother was outside the kingdom and carried out official duties, shaking hands with thousands and receiving foreign dignitaries.
The queen's announcement made up only a few sentences at the end of her wide-ranging New Year's speech which reflected on the "turbulence and upheaval in the world" amid the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the climate crisis.
But she also thanked her nation's people for "the warmth and hospitality I meet with everywhere in Denmark."
While lavishing accolades on the queen, the prime minister also looked to the future.
"In the new year, Crown Prince Frederik will be proclaimed king. Crown Princess Mary will become queen. The kingdom will have a new regent and a new royal couple," he said in his statement. "We can look forward to all of this in the knowledge that they are ready for the responsibility and the task."

Influential former Texas US Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson dies at 88
DALLAS, Texas (AP) — Trailblazing longtime U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a nurse from Texas who helped bring hundreds of millions of federal dollars to the Dallas area as the region’s most powerful Democrat, died Sunday. She was 88.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and many other leaders issued statements about her death after her son posted about it on Facebook. The Dallas Morning News also confirmed her death with an unnamed source close to the family. No cause of death was given.
“She was the single most effective legislator Dallas has ever had,” the mayor said in a statement. “Nobody brought more federal infrastructure money home to our city. Nobody fought harder for our communities and our residents’ interests and safety. And nobody knew how to navigate Washington better for the people of Dallas.”
Eddie Bernice Johnson served in the House for three decades after becoming the first registered nurse elected to Congress and first Black chief psychiatric nurse at Dallas’ Veterans Affairs hospital. She went on to become the first Black woman to chair the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and she also led the Congressional Black Caucus. She left office in January after repeatedly delaying her retirement. Before Congress, she served in the Texas legislature.
“For three decades, Chairwoman Johnson was a powerful force in the United States Congress, always focused on the future,” House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said in a statement, praising Johnson as “a tenacious trailblazer, a talented legislator and a devoted public servant.”
Johnson used her committee leadership position to fight against Republican efforts to block action on climate change. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford said Johnson was also “a fierce advocate for expanding STEM opportunities to Black and minority students” who also played a key role in helping the Biden administration pass a major package of incentives for computer chip manufacturers.
She was born in Waco and grew up in the segregated South. Dallas’ once-segregated Union Station was renamed in her honor in 2019.
Her own experience with racism helped spur her to get involved in politics. She recalled that officials at the VA hospital were shocked that she was Black after they hired her sight-unseen, so they rescinded their offer for her to live in a dorm on campus. She told The Dallas Morning News in 2020 that officials would go into patients’ rooms ahead of her to “say that I was qualified.”
“That was really the most blatant, overt racism that I ever experienced in my life,” she told the newspaper.
Johnson nearly quit but decided to stick with it.
“It was very challenging,” she said. “But any job where you’re an African American woman entering for the first time would be a challenge. They had not hired one before I got there. Yes, it was a challenge, but it was a successful venture.”

Impersonator in Israeli Military Conflict: A Deception Unveiled
Israeli citizen Roi Yifrach stands accused of impersonating a member of the security forces during the October 7 Hamas massacre, allegedly using this deception to steal weapons and military equipment. Yifrach, arrested at his Tel Aviv home, had in his possession an M4 rifle, stun grenades, smoke grenades, explosive charges, and a drone.
The Impersonation
Reports suggest that Yifrach used a fake ID to traverse the Gaza border area, passing himself off as an officer in the elite Yamam counterterrorism unit, a police officer, and a Shin Bet operative. His ability to deceive others extended to the highest levels of Israeli government, as he managed to be photographed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and meet Defense Minister Yoav Gallant without arousing suspicion of his true identity.
The Theft
Yifrach’s stolen cache reportedly included an IDF assault rifle, two smoke grenades, 14 stun grenades, a pistol, dozens of cartridges of ammunition, three detonators, and other equipment. These items were discovered during a police search of his home, reinforcing the seriousness of the charges against him.
The Implications
This case has drawn significant attention due to the severity of the charges and the involvement of the prime minister. As the legal proceedings unfold, the veracity of the allegations and the potential penalties will be determined. While the immediate concern lies in addressing the criminal acts of the accused, the incident raises important questions about security measures and protocols, particularly during times of conflict.
