Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel says the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found, citing Emirati authorities. The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday said Zvi Kogan was killed, calling it a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.” It said: “The state of Israel will act with all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death." Kogan went missing on Thursday, and there were suspicions he had been kidnapped. His disappearance comes as Iran has been threatening to retaliate against Israel after the two countries traded fire in October. Israeli strike kills Lebanese soldier and wounds 18 as Hezbollah fires rockets at Israel BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center has killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. The Hezbollah militant group meanwhile fired around 160 rockets and other projectiles into northern and central Israel on Sunday, wounding at least five people. Israeli strikes have killed over 40 Lebanese troops since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, even as Lebanon's military has largely kept to the sidelines. The Israeli military expressed regret over the strike, saying it occurred in an area of ongoing combat operations against Hezbollah. It said it does not target the Lebanese armed forces and that the strike is under review. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. After Trump's Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key roles WASHINGTON (AP) — During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump had hailed what would become Project 2025 as a conservative roadmap for “exactly what our movement will do." Trump pulled an about-face when Project 2025 became a political liability. He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans, even though some were written by his former aides and many allies. Now, after winning the 2024 election, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the effort he temporarily shunned. Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain this weekend while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Saturday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast earlier in the week, killing two people. Parts of the Northeast and Appalachia also began the weekend with heavy precipitation. Pakistan partially stops mobile and internet services ahead of pro-Imran Khan protest ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns” as supporters of imprisoned former premier Imran Khan gear up for a protest in the capital. The government and Interior Ministry made the announcement on X, which is banned in Pakistan. Sunday's protest is to demand Khan's release. He has been in prison for more than a year but remains popular. His supporters rely heavily on social media and messaging apps to coordinate with each other. Pakistan has already sealed off Islamabad and shut down major roads and highways connecting the city with Khan's power bases. Here's what to know about the new funding deal that countries agreed to at UN climate talks BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — In the wee hours Sunday at the United Nations climate talks, countries from around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can cough up the funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. But it’s a far-from-perfect arrangement, with many parties still unsatisfied but hopeful that the deal will be a step in the right direction. Japan holds Sado mines memorial despite South Korean boycott amid lingering historical tensions SADO, Japan (AP) — Japan has held a memorial ceremony near the Sado Island Gold Mines despite a last-minute boycott of the event by South Korea that highlighted tensions between the neighbors over the brutal wartime use of Korean laborers. South Korea’s absence at Sunday’s memorial, to which Seoul government officials and Korean victims’ families were invited, is a major setback in the rapidly improving ties between the countries. The Sado mines were listed in July as a UNESCO World Heritage Site after Japan moved past years of disputes with South Korea and reluctantly acknowledged the mines’ dark history. Chuck Woolery, smooth-talking game show host of 'Love Connection' and 'Scrabble,' dies at 83 NEW YORK (AP) — Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery’s podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. He teamed up with Young for the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” and became a full supporter Donald Trump.No. 7 Tennessee extends its season-opening winning streak to 7 games in 78-35 win over UT Martin
Kathmandu, Nov 24 (PTI) A court in Nepal on Sunday extended by 15 days the remand of Rabi Lamichhane, the former home minister and president of the Rashtriya Swatantra Party, to continue investigating allegations of cooperative frauds and money laundering. The decision issued by Judge Himalal Belbase applies to Lamichhane and three others — former Deputy Inspector General of Police Chhabilal Joshi, Leela Pachhai, and Ram Bahadur Khanal. Lamichhane, who was first arrested here on October 18, has already undergone multiple remand extensions, bringing the total detention period to 40 days. A Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) team arrested Lamichhane from his party’s office in Banasthali, Kathmandu, and transferred him to Pokhara in Kaski district for investigation in a cooperative fraud case. A special parliamentary probe committee report alleged that former television journalist Lamichhane as the managing director of the Gorkha Media Network was involved in diverting funds from multiple cooperatives, including Rs 30 million, into personal accounts. The investigation follows a parliamentary special probe committee’s findings a couple of months ago, which implicated Lamichhane in financial irregularities while managing Galaxy 4K Television before he quit the media company to join politics in 2022. During Sunday’s court hearing, government attorneys and legal representatives for the victims argued for the remand extension, citing incomplete document analysis and pending evidence collection. However, Lamichhane’s legal team maintained the allegations lacked concrete evidence, opposing the extension. Earlier, police took Lamichhane to Butwal to investigate his alleged involvement in the fund misappropriation from the Butwal-based Suryadarsan Cooperative. In the meantime, district courts in Kathmandu and Chitwan issued arrest warrants against Lamichhane and others on charges of diverting deposits from Kathmandu-based Sworna Laxmi Cooperative and Chitwan-based Sahara Cooperative.

Chuck Woolery , whose game-show hosting career included tenures at Wheel of Fortune and Love Connection , has died at age 83. Mark Young, Woolery’s friend and podcast cohost, shared the news on X on Saturday. “It is with a broken heart that I tell you that my dear brother @chuckwoolery has just passed away,” Young wrote. “Life will not be the same without him. RIP, brother.” Young told TMZ he was at Woolery’s home in Texas when the former TV host reported not feeling well and went to lie down. When Young checked in later, Woolery was having trouble breathing, and despite a 911 call, Woolery died shortly thereafter. Woolery was born on March 16, 1941, in Ashland, Kentucky, to a business owner and a homemaker, according to The Hollywood Reporter . After stints at the University of Kentucky, in the U.S. Navy, and at Morehead State University, Woolery moved to Nashville to start a music career. He and singer Elkin “Bubba” Fowler formed the psychedelic pop duo The Avant-Garde, and their song “Naturally Stoned” peaked at No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968. Lorimar Television/ Everett Collection A singing performance on The Merv Griffin Show led Woolery to audition for a new game show, originally titled Shopper’s Bazaar , that Merv Griffin was developing at the time. After some tinkering, Wheel of Fortune debuted on NBC on January 6, 1975. Griffin earned a Daytime Emmy for his Wheel work and hosted the show until 1981, when a salary dispute led producers to replace him with Pat Sajak . Woolery moved on with a job hosting the syndicated dating game show Love Connection from 1983 to 1994, pulling in 4.5 million viewers a day at one point. He also emceed the game show Scrabble from 1984 to 1990, and between the two shows, he was earning $1 million a year by 1986, as People reported at the time. Woolery also hosted the game show Greed on Fox from 1999 to 2000 and Lingo on Game Show Network from 2002 to 2007. In recent years, Woolery stoked controversy with his political views, posting a tweet that sparked antisemitism accusations in 2017 and then claiming in 2020 that “everyone [was] lying” about the coronavirus pandemic , as Newsweek reported. He also argued that minorities didn’t need civil rights, according to the Associated Press . Woolery was married four times, and his ex-wives included actor Jo Ann Pflug. He had eight children and stepchildren, per THR . More Headlines:
The fifth round of the Champions League is in the bag, just three rounds remaining before we discover who is through to the last 16, who is going to endure a nervy playoff battle and whose European season is over. This week brought thrilling results: Manchester City blowing a three-goal lead against Feyenoord , Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal running up the goals in impressive fashion and missed penalties by superstars at both ends in Liverpool's win over Real Madrid. Here's our pick of the best players, lining up with a back three to celebrate the impressive results from Leverkusen and Inter: Not exactly a vintage week for the men between the sticks, was it? Thibaut Courtois was among the few Real Madrid players who could leave Anfield with his head held high but he might feel he could have done better for Liverpool's opener. Given that no one was both faultless and busy, we're going to have to go for a compromise candidate. An exceptional 87 minutes from Riznyk weren't undone just because his cleansheet and then Shakhtar's points were snatched away by Malik Tillman (more on whom later) and Ricardo Pepi. I mean, what do you even want him to do about those goals, which followed 10 saves, the best of which were quite excellent? Even that first goal he conceded was millimeters from an outstanding save, Riznyk hurling himself low to his left to meet Tillman's impudent low free kick. The second? There could have been two goalkeepers between the sticks and they weren't getting close. The third seemed specifically designed to ruin Rizynk's night, a PSV leg doing just enough to divert the ball in totally the opposite direction, leaving Pepi with a tap in. Sometimes goalkeepers do their bit and still end up having a bad night. In such circumstances, it's worth highlighting what they did right. Yes, we're immediately playing fast and loose with the formation. Look, there are a load of strikers and attacking midfielders I've got try to get in. Conor, you're just going to have to work it out. Given how successfully you took to dealing with the best forward on the planet (if we can still call Kylian Mbappe that), I'm pretty confident this won't be beyond you. After all, what a reducer that was in the second half. MAC ALLISTER FINISHES A LOVELY MOVE FROM LIVERPOOL TO HIT REAL MADRID EARLY IN THE SECOND HALF ⚡ pic.twitter.com/7iYRlrN9Vg And the assist. The assist! Weighted with precision, one pass took two players out of the game while ensuring that Alexis Mac Allister could take the ball in stride and squirm a shot away before Raul Asensio got across to cover. There are few better compliments you can offer in this context than to say it was an assist Trent Alexander-Arnold would have been proud of. Well, you have to have someone from Inter in your backline. The Italian giants look like they have that most vital component of Champions League contenders, an elite-level defense. A record of five cleansheets from as many games would be remarkable whoever the opponents were but the 2023 finalists have already held out against Manchester City, Arsenal and an RB Leipzig side who desperately needed anything to save their European season. Inter held them utterly at arm's length, just seven shots worth a combined 0.15 xG. Such defensive excellence is the sort of collective effort that rarely fits comfortably into a pick your best players format. So, sorry Alessandro Bastoni and Hakan Calhanoglu, but it's De Vrij for me -- his clearances and interceptions snuffing out what pressure RB Leipzig were able to apply on the Inter goal. A week where so many teams conceded three-plus goals doesn't make it easy to pick out the best defenders. Either your team were so dominant that you didn't have to do a lot of defending or, well, you conceded half a dozen goals. Then again, if anyone can be forgiven for conceding a few goals it's the Feyenoord defense, in which Hancko and his teammates got a clearing boot on a fair few of the many crosses and cutbacks that Manchester City hurled into their area. Following up 88 of the most demanding minutes you can ask of a defender with a lung-busting run into the penalty area to flick home the equalizer was all the more impressive. FEYENOORD COME BACK FROM 3-0 DOWN TO STUN MANCHESTER CITY 😱 pic.twitter.com/HWB2NGMOjN Arguably the best individual performer across this week, Llorente's dominance from right back ensured that Atletico Madrid were able to run up an almighty score in Prague, something that could count for a great deal when the final places in the top eight are handed out. Most immediately apparent were the two assists, Llorente busting a gut to be in place to one-two with Julian Alvarez before slipping the ball to Angel Correa towards the death, giving the Argentine plenty of work to do it must be said. Atletico were dominant enough that they didn't need Llorente to excel defensively but he did that too with four tackles won from four, six of seven successful duels and eight ball recoveries. Not too shabby at all for a player making his first start since late September. Pick your favorite: the audacious free kick that just had enough to kickstart the comeback or the absolute howitzer that seemed to swing one way and then the other to draw PSV level in the most thrilling game of a barnburner of a match week? For pure vision, this author's preference is for the opener, not least because a bit of guile was absolutely going to be required to defeat a goalkeeper as obdurate as Shakhtar's. Even those who thought Crvena zvezda were a fair wedge better than their record didn't see that coming! Then again, you look at their side and it's hard to see why they shouldn't be able to at least give it a go against a side like Stuttgart. On an evening where everyone in red excelled, it was hard to pick a star man but UEFA's technical panel opted for former Milan man Rade Krunic. "He made a significant impact, showcasing a clinical left-foot finish to give his side the lead, plus creating the fourth goal with a decisive line-breaking pass on the counterattack," they said. Who are we to argue? Look, we could really just hive off a spot in this XI for the remainder of this season and put Florian Wirtz's name on it. The figurehead of Bayer Leverkusen was his customarily excellent self in the 5-0 drubbing of Salzburg. You could, however, say the same about Grimaldo, as joyous a watch as there has been in European football over the last 15 or so months. Let him drift off his flank for even an instant and he is going to take a shot. By the final whistle at the BayArena, he'd taken seven of them, the pick of them a delicately lofted free-kick that Alexander Schlager swiftly concluded wasn't even worth diving for. Alejandro Grimaldo with a BEAUTY of a freekick 🤩 pic.twitter.com/5USnytTjVN With half an hour played, Grimaldo had added an assist too, a smart pass inside to Wirtz that speaks to the connection these two have on the Leverkusen left. The latter is often the one who gets the most glowing praise from their collective efforts. There's no harm shining the light on Grimaldo for once. If Arsenal didn't have Odegaard, could they have really hoped to eviscerate a much-heralded Sporting opponent in anything like the manner they just did? Whether or not the Norwegian is his side's very best player is the sort of fruitless debate Gooners can savor but after his last two games, Odegaard has the best case to be this team's ceiling raiser. "He is an unbelievable player and the day he returned, there was a big smile on my face," Bukayo Saka said of his captain. A "top three" midfielder in Europe, according to William Saliba. They know how good Odegaard is. Sporting just found out in the cruelest of fashions. There are worse times to deliver your first senior goal than a Champions League tie where your side can all but guarantee a spot in the knockout playoffs (at least). Not bad timing for the second goal either. Both spoke to qualities it tends to take much more than 20 years to develop, lurking in the right spots for a cutback while being prepared to gamble that mistakes and rebounds would fall his way. What is it about Gian Piero Gasperini and strikers? The likes of Duvan Zapata, Luis Muriel and Ademola Lookman have hardly looked like superstars before arriving at Atalanta, nor did Retegui when he departed Genoa with nine goals to his name in all competitions last season. Already this term he has 14 in 19 games, two of which came as Young Boys were brushed aside at the Wankdorf Stadium. Retegui's first goal was that of an outstanding center forward, timing his run perfectly to break the Young Boys offside trap and whipping a ferocious finish across goal, the ball bending elegantly into the side-netting. The second was no less impressive, a great first touch off Charles De Ketelaere before the 25-year-old took a breath and rolled it home. This is the output of a high-grade striker. Was Retegui that before Gasperini got his hands on him?No. 10 Marquette routs Stonehill 94-59 behind Joplin's 27 points
Visionary design coupled with stunning views across the Brisbane River puts Teneriffe Banks in a class of its own. On its launch day, Teneriffe Banks shattered Queensland’s record for the highest single-day sales , with an astonishing $285 million worth of apartments sold. This followed a highly effective Expressions of Interest campaign, with over 4,800 registrations prior to launch. The development has captured the attention of discerning buyers seeking the highest levels of luxury and lifestyle. Located at 17-27 Skyring Terrace, on Brisbane’s last undeveloped riverfront site, Teneriffe Banks offers over 200 luxury apartments, priced from $1 million to an epic $25 million. Drawing inspiration from Teneriffe’s iconic wool stores, this $1.5 billion project features five distinct architecturally designed buildings within thoughtfully planned parkland and laneways. Design-led by award-winning Melbourne developer Kokoda Property Group, Teneriffe Banks is brought to life through a collaboration with Studio McCue, Cottee Parker, Carr, Urbis, and Eckersley Garden Architecture. The precinct will comprise four residential buildings and a five-star international hotel, The Kimpton, all atop a vibrant riverside dining and retail precinct. This record-breaking development has captured the attention of Brisbane buyers. Teneriffe Banks’ residential offering includes: The Interloom, The Skyline, The Ferry Building, The Store Houses and within them, The Store House Lofts – expansive double storey warehouse loft-conversion style residences. Each building features luxury apartments and penthouses, with resort-style living as part of the every-day, complete with private dining rooms, rooftop pools, spas, and social and wellness areas. "The interior design throughout the precinct thoughtfully integrates with its surroundings in Teneriffe, bringing together the water and urban environment," says Kokoda Property Group founder and managing director, Mark Stevens. "The natural stone used throughout, with its rippling movement, mirrors the flow of the nearby river, creating a cohesive look that enhances the buildings’ connection to their picturesque setting." Although each building has its own character, Stevens explains they'll all blend beautifully. "There's a strong connection between the architecture and interior design across the entire masterplan, creating unique spaces where you can appreciate the scale, detail, and your own place within the precinct," he says. Following the unprecedented sales success for the first release; The Interloom and The Skyform buildings, the precinct's most anticipated building, The Ferry Building, has just been released. Here's the breakdown of each building for interested buyers: Offering riverfront luxury living and positioned adjacent to the Kimpton Hotel, the building features one- to four-bedroom apartments, as well as penthouse collections. Its design captures the urban character and geometry of the masterplan, with apartments designed to take advantage of both city and river views. Located adjacent to the iconic Teneriffe Ferry Terminal, this tower offers expansive modernist homes with 3.6-metre ceiling heights and river views. The design blends the historic character of the wool stores with contemporary craftsmanship and apartment living. This smaller, village-scale building features eight storeys. The final release of the development is located along Skyring Terrace and offers city views. The residences include apartments, penthouses, and modern warehouse homes known as The Store House Lofts, which are situated across the lower levels. The design is a contemporary interpretation of the iconic Teneriffe warehouse, influenced by some of the world’s best post-industrial residences. Similar to The Ferry Building, this is a smaller, village-scale building with only eight storeys. Offering city-view, resort-style living, some apartments boast both city and river views. Homes include one- to three-bedroom apartments, penthouse collections, and Store House Lofts on the lower levels. The design embraces the bold, modern aesthetic of the masterplan, with carefully framed views that highlight both the city skyline and the riverfront. The array of high-calibre residences mean Brisbane buyers have ample choice. Teneriffe Banks redefines luxury living with its one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments. Interiors feature oak timber floors, marble benches, and brushed nickel tapware, equipped with deluxe European appliances from Miele or Sub-Zero. "Each home is meticulously designed with the luxurious and elevated details that Kokoda is celebrated for," Mark adds. Residents will enjoy exclusive access to the Canopy Club, a private membership club nestled in the tree canopies overlooking the river. Inside, residents can take advantage of private dining rooms, a private bar, library, cinema, sports simulation room, boardroom, and workspaces. “The Canopy Club offers an expansive indoor and outdoor space with the quality and detail of a high-end hotel and hospitality venue," Stevens says. The five rooftops will host serene subtropical retreats with river and/or city views, including amenities such as infinity-edge pools, cabanas, saunas, hot and cold plunge pools, and yoga pods. Additionally, the riverfront will feature Brisbane's first Kimpton Hotel, complete with signature restaurants and bars, a fitness centre, meeting and event spaces, and a rooftop with stunning city views, further establishing Teneriffe as a global destination. Revolutionising the Brisbane skyline, Teneriffe Banks has broken single-day sales records. The project's design not only enhances the living experience but also integrates beautifully with the local environment, providing direct access to the Brisbane River Walk and stunning views. The development will connect Teneriffe to the river, with an extension of the River Walk along the 210m site frontage. In close proximity to the area’s dining and retail hotspots, Teneriffe Banks is a stone’s throw from the ever-popular James St, Gasworks and local gems around Teneriffe, New Farm and Newstead. This development isn't just a place to live—it’s a lifestyle revolution, blending heritage and modernity on Brisbane’s vibrant riverbank. With limited availability remaining and the highly sought-after Ferry Building already commanding swift interest, we invite you to secure an exclusive appointment to experience Teneriffe Banks within the immersive Kokoda House display.
