Online space for teens needed despite social media banThere is a lot more to Gurinder Chadha than Bend It Like Beckham. Over the years she has established a reputation for delivering sassy, thought-provoking cinema on much more than just the Indian diaspora. Gurinder met the late Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the making of her Partition film Viceroy House. The meeting has stayed in her memory vividly. When did you first become associated with Manmohan Singh and his wife? I had met his wife Gursharan at the G20 Summit at Downing Street where I had been invited by Gordon Brown’s wife Sarah and we struck up a friendship. I had also met Obama there with Michel Obama and Michelle Obama. It was a great evening. And you kept in touch with Mrs Manmohan Singh? Yes, we stayed in touch, she said when you’re in Delhi, please come and visit us. I didn’t get to meet Manmohan Singh at Downing Street. That day he was very busy. I think I met him briefly. But the next time when I was in Delhi during the making of my film Viceroy’s House I went to meet Mrs Singh at the Prime Minister’s residence and we had lovely tea and we talked a lot about the Partition and our family history and her husband and just the whole world of Indian politics. You didn’t meet Manmohan Singhji until this point? Then I thought I would be leaving shortly but she kept saying to me, ‘Just stay a little longer, have another cup of tea... and then I didn’t realise until later there had been a whole plan where Mr. Singh was trying to leave work to come home to meet me. So Mrs Singh was holding you back in the hope that the Prime Minister would be able to meet you? Yes, he really wanted to meet me and I didn’t realise that until finally when, as Mrs. Singh and I sat there having tea, there was this noise at the gate and all these official cars came in. What was your reaction to seeing him? I was flabbergasted to meet PM Manmohan Singh because I knew just how much he meant to all my family all my uncles, aunts... everybody because he was from where we were from pre-Partition and part of our baradari. How was your meeting with PM Singh? I said, ‘What a wonderful surprise to actually meet you’. And he said to me, ‘No no the pleasure is mine...you are one of the stars of our baradari and you have done so much for us globally...it is my pleasure to meet you.’ I was so touched. What was your impression of Manmohan Singhji? Humble.... humble man he was. Then we sat down we had some more tea and then we talked about British India and what that was like... talked about my work’s impact on the diasporic Indian perspective on the world... and he said he was very proud of me and I felt terribly honoured and moved. I really did. His contribution to Independent India? I think what he did for India silently quietly in terms of the economic boom of India is phenomenal. We must remember that at this time.

Analysis: Win or lose at UNC, Belichick's NFL legacy cementedSocial media users are misrepresenting a report released Thursday by the Justice Department inspector general's office, falsely claiming that it's proof the FBI orchestrated the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. The watchdog report examined a number of areas, including whether major intelligence failures preceded the riot and whether the FBI in some way provoked the violence. Claims spreading online focus on the report's finding that 26 FBI informants were in Washington for election-related protests on Jan. 6, including three who had been tasked with traveling to the city to report on others who were potentially planning to attend the events. Although 17 of those informants either entered the Capitol or a restricted area around the building during the riot, none of the 26 total informants were authorized to do so by the bureau, according to the report. Nor were they authorized to otherwise break the law or encourage others to do so. Here's a closer look at the facts. CLAIM: A December 2024 report released by the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General is proof that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a setup by the FBI. THE FACTS: That's false. The report found that no undercover FBI employees were at the riot on Jan. 6 and that none of the bureau's informants were authorized to participate. Informants, also known as confidential human sources, work with the FBI to provide information, but are not on the bureau’s payroll. Undercover agents are employed by the FBI. According to the report, 26 informants were in Washington on Jan. 6 in connection with the day's events. FBI field offices only informed the Washington Field Office or FBI headquarters of five informants that were to be in the field on Jan. 6. Of the total 26 informants, four entered the Capitol during the riot and an additional 13 entered a restricted area around the Capitol. But none were authorized to do so by the FBI, nor were they given permission to break other laws or encourage others to do the same. The remaining nine informants did not engage in any illegal activities. None of the 17 informants who entered the Capitol or surrounding restricted area have been prosecuted, the report says. A footnote states that after reviewing a draft of the report, the U.S. attorney's office in Washington said that it “generally has not charged those individuals whose only crime on January 6, 2021 was to enter restricted grounds surrounding the Capitol, which has resulted in the Office declining to charge hundreds of individuals; and we have treated the CHSs consistent with this approach.” The assistant special agent in charge of the Washington Field Office's counterterrorism division told the inspector general's office that he “denied a request from an FBI office to have an undercover employee engage in investigative activity on January 6.” He, along with then-Washington Field Office Assistant Director in Charge Steven D'Antuono, said that FBI policy prohibits undercover employees at First Amendment-protected events without investigative authority. Many social media users drew false conclusions from the report's findings. “JANUARY 6th WAS A SETUP!" reads one X post that had received more than 11,400 likes and shares as of Friday. “New inspector general report shows that 26 FBI/DOJ confidential sources were in the crowd on January 6th, and some of them went into the Capitol and restricted areas. Is it a coincidence that Wray put in his resignation notice yesterday? TREASON!” The mention of Wray's resignation refers to FBI Director Christopher Wray's announcement Wednesday that he plans to resign at the end of President Joe Biden's term in January. Other users highlighted the fact that there were 26 FBI informants in Washington on Jan. 6, but omitted key information about the findings of the report. These claims echo a fringe conspiracy theory advanced by some Republicans in Congress that the FBI played a role in instigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when rioters determined to overturn Republican Donald Trump's 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden stormed the Capitol in a violent clash with police. The report knocks that theory down. Wray called such theories “ludicrous” at a congressional hearing last year. The inspector general's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the false claims about its report. In addition to its findings about the the FBI's involvement on Jan. 6, the report said that the FBI, in an action its now-deputy director described as a “basic step that was missed,” failed to canvass informants across all 56 of its field offices for any relevant intelligence ahead of time. That was a step, the report concluded, “that could have helped the FBI and its law enforcement partners with their preparations in advance of January 6.” However, it did credit the bureau for preparing for the possibility of violence and for trying to identify known “domestic terrorism subjects” who planned to come to Washington that day. The FBI said in a letter responding to the report that it accepts the inspection general’s recommendation “regarding potential process improvements for future events.” — Find AP Fact Checks here: https://apnews.com/APFactCheck .
Student workers are bracing for the incoming Trump administration to “constrict or eliminate” their labor rights, after a surge in union organizing on college campuses. N formed unions between 2022 to 2024 between 44 bargaining units. As of earlier this year, an of all graduate student employees in the US were unionized. But organizers fear this trend will stutter as Trump prepares to return to office. During his first presidency, officials 1.5 million private college and university student employees from exercising collective bargaining rights under the National Labor Relations Act, arguing these workers were not “employees”. While the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the country’s top labor watchdog, withdrew this proposal months after Joe Biden took office in March 2021, Trump’s re-election sets the stage for another battle. William A Herbert, executive director of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions, predicted sweeping changes under Trump once his administration overhauls the labor watchdog. “Once President Trump appoints a new majority of NLRB board members, future decisions by that majority are likely to constrict or eliminate existing labor rights on private sector campuses,” said Herbert. Trump may try again to overrule a 2016 decision which held that graduate and undergraduate student employees were covered under the National Labor Relations Act, Herbert suggested, and the new NLRB general counsel could modify or abandon the board’s current approach to college athletes. At some colleges, student workers are trying to pre-empt such action. “There is that feeling of knowing of what may or may not happen next in the new year,” said Dia Brown, an engineering graduate student employee at Penn State. “It just makes it feel more important to keep pushing forward.” Earlier this month, a union election petition was with the Pennsylvania labor board by the Coalition of Graduate Employees at Penn State-UAW to around 5,000 graduate student employees. Trump’s victory “makes it even more important to make sure that we get this [union] election, so that we can get into bargaining, get a contract and get more security for all of our grad students”, said Brown who cited securing protections for international students as a top priority in the face of Trump’s plan to enact mass deportations. Some schools around the US have international students to arrive on campuses before Trump takes office. “My expenses are so cutthroat with the funding that I get through my stipend each month,” Brown added. “I want me and ... other grad students like me, who are struggling financially with the current stipends, to be able to feel confident to meet their needs, and meet their living expenses too.” “They really need to make this a better, more secure workplace and ultimately a better institution,” added Owen Harrington, a geography graduate student employee at Penn State. “So it’s about time.” A date for a union election has not yet been set by the Pennsylvania labor board. A spokesperson for Penn State said in an email: “When we receive the petition, we will carefully review it, taking all perspectives into account. We remain committed to open dialogue as we move forward in this process.” Elsewhere, however, graduate student employees attempting to unionize have already hit resistance as colleges await the second Trump presidency. At Vanderbilt, a private university in Nashville, Tennessee, graduate student workers filed a petition for a union election to join the United Auto Workers in October, with the university opposing the effort, they were students rather than workers. The university also a complaint against the NLRB, which had requested student information to determine the scope of the union election and prospective bargaining unit. After a judge ruled in the university’s favor, the UAW withdrew the election petition earlier this month. Such withdrawals have been a rarity in recent years: graduate student workers won of union elections from 2022 to 2024, often in at some of the top universities in the US,. “The union’s decision to withdraw its petition and demand provides a path for us to move forward together,” Vanderbilt officials said in a But Vanderbilt Graduate Workers United made clear it was not backing down. “This is not a defeat,” it said in a , claiming the university “beat the law and got lucky with national political events. They did not beat US!” As thousands of student workers attempt to unionize, national political events will probably have an outsized impact on their efforts in the years ahead.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Will Howard passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a score and No. 2 Ohio State beat previously undefeated No. 5 Indiana 38-15 on Saturday. All Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, CFP No. 2) has to do now is beat Michigan at home next Saturday and it will earn a return to the Big Ten championship game for the first time since 2020 and get a rematch with No. 1 Oregon. The Ducks beat Ohio State 32-31 in a wild one back on Oct. 12. The Hoosiers (10-1, 7-1, No. 5 CFP) had their best chance to beat the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988 but were hurt by special teams mistakes and disrupted by an Ohio State defense that sacked quarterback Kurtis Rourke five times. Late in the first half, Indiana punter James Evans fumbled a snap and was buried at his own 7-yardline with the Buckeyes taking over. That turned quickly into a 4-yard TD run by Henderson that gave the Buckeyes a 14-7 lead. Early in the second half, Caleb Downs fielded an Evans punt at the Ohio State 21, raced down the right sideline, cut to the middle and outran the coverage for a TD that put the Buckeyes up 21-7. It was the first time a Buckeye returned a punt for a touchdown since 2014. Howard finished 22 for 26 for 201 yards. Emeka Egbuka had seven catches for 80 yards and a TD. Indiana scored on its first possession of the game and its last, both short runs by Ty Son Lawson, who paced the Hoosiers with 79 rushing yards. Rourke was 8 for 18 for 68 yards. Indiana: Its special season was blemished by the Buckeyes, who beat the Hoosiers for the 30th straight time. Indiana was eyeing its first conference crown since sharing one with two other teams in 1967. That won't happen now. Ohio State: Didn't waste the opportunities presented by the Hoosiers when they got sloppy. The Buckeyes led 14-7 at the break and took control in the second half. An offensive line patched together because of multiple injuries performed surprisingly well. Some voters were obviously unsure of Indiana because it hadn't played a nationally ranked team before Ohio State. After this one, the Hoosiers will drop. Indiana hosts Purdue in the regular-season finale next Saturday. Ohio State hosts rival Michigan on Saturday. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here . AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballCHICAGO — Teresa Weatherspoon doesn’t want to dwell on the past. That’s easy to say. Harder to execute. But as she embraces a new role with Unrivaled — a 3-on-3 league that will debut in January — the former Chicago Sky coach wants to focus on the future. Weatherspoon will coach the Vinyl Basketball Club, an Unrivaled team that includes Arike Ogunbowale, Jordin Canada, Rhyne Howard, Rae Burrell, Aliyah Edwards and Dearica Hamby. The new gig is a welcome change for Weatherspoon, who felt blindsided when the Sky fired her Sept. 26 after only 11 months as coach. Weatherspoon knew her debut season as a professional head coach wasn’t ideal. The Sky went 13-27, and she struggled to wrangle a young roster while navigating injuries and the midseason trade of guard Marina Mabrey. Despite the Sky missing the playoffs for the first time in five years, Weatherspoon thought she had more time with the organization. She doesn’t want the firing to affect her confidence as a coach. “I process things and I let it go,” Weatherspoon said Wednesday in a news conference. “You’ve got to know this and stand on it — you’re not for everybody. I’m OK with that. “I know the things I did, I know the things I helped change. I know the things I had to go through and what I stood through. I will do that again — over and over and over.” With Unrivaled, Weatherspoon will return to a player development role. Although it is not officially affiliated with the WNBA, Unrivaled is focused on providing an offseason option for players to develop their game and supplement their income without going abroad. As a result, Unrivaled coaches will focus heavily on providing players with the offseason environment they typically seek from individual trainers and skills specialists. Unrivaled co-founder and President Alex Bazzell previously described the decision to hire Weatherspoon as a “no-brainer” for the league. Weatherspoon echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the importance of feeling valued as a coach in the wake of her Sky exit. “To know that you’re wanted and needed, it makes the decision to join very easy,” Weatherspoon said. The Unrivaled season will begin in January and lasts only eight weeks. After that, the future is uncertain for Weatherspoon, who didn’t provide any hints about whether she would return to the WNBA: “That’s to be seen.” After a whirlwind offseason that saw seven teams fire or part ways with their coaches, the Dallas Wings, Connecticut Sun and Washington Mystics still are searching for a replacement. Weatherspoon also could join the bench of an NBA or WNBA staff or return to college coaching. In the meantime, she’s eager to dive back into working hands-on with individual players with Unrivaled to improve their craft. “It’s a human connection,” Weatherspoon said. “It’s a gift to connect with people and show concern and love for others. I just want people to win. I want everything I experience to be shared. I want to be of help, to give more. “It’s important to lift and help. It’s all about my players. I want to lift things from them that they didn’t know existed.” ©2024 Chicago Tribune. Visit chicagotribune.com .
