President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that he will not be probing Nigeria’s Security Chiefs, saying that he has confidence in what they are doing and will not “disrespect the institution” with the threat of a probe. The President said this in a chat with members of the press on Monday night, where he discussed his administration and governance of Nigeria so far. Tinubu, when asked if he will be probing security chiefs on the prevalent insecurity in Nigeria, said, “I’m not probing any service chief. You cannot disrespect the institution because of threat of probe, and you cannot fight this war without investment in technology, in weaponry.” “They are living and operating in a very serious condition. We have huge country, a very huge one, and lots of forests, unoccupied spaces. Give them credit for what they are doing, I am proud of what they are doing today. No need to probe,” he added. Speaking further on the subject matter of security, Tinubu was asked how he felt about the current state of Nigeria’s security compared to past administrations, to which he responded, “Today, I have confidence in my security architecture of this country.” He went on to say, “Today, you can still travel on the roads. Before now, it was impossible. It takes one incident to mess up an organised environment, it takes one. You cannot say the military is not prepared when the near Brigade Battalion was attacked. You can’t laugh at your nation because of that. The enemies within and without are watching what you are doing. You have to be prepared 100 percent, 24 hours of the time to make sure people are safe. “Today, that is not the story any longer. People can leave Kaduna and still go towards Kafanchan by road. Well, the road may not be that smooth, but gradually, we will be there.” Ozioma Samuel-Ugwuezi Follow us on:
NoneWASHINGTON – For years, Pat Verhaeghe didn’t think highly of Donald Trump as a leader. Then Verhaeghe began seeing more of Trump’s campaign speeches online and his appearances at sporting events. Recommended Videos There was even the former president’s pairing with Bryson DeChambeau as part of the pro golfer’s YouTube channel series to shoot an under-50 round of golf while engaging in chitchat with his partner. “I regret saying this, but a while ago I thought he was an idiot and that he wouldn’t be a good president,” said the 18-year-old first-time voter. “I think he’s a great guy now.” Verhaeghe isn't alone among his friends in suburban Detroit or young men across America. Although much of the electorate shifted right to varying degrees in 2024, young men were one of the groups that swung sharply toward Trump. More than half of men under 30 supported Trump, according to AP VoteCast , a survey of more than 120,000 voters, while Democrat Joe Biden had won a similar share of this group four years earlier. White men under 30 were solidly in Trump’s camp this year — about 6 in 10 voted for Trump — while young Latino men were split between the two candidates. Most Black men under 30 supported Democrat Kamala Harris, but about one-third were behind Trump. Young Latino men’s views of the Democratic Party were much more negative than in 2020, while young Black men’s views of the party didn’t really move. About 6 in 10 Latino men under 30 had a somewhat or very favorable view of the Democrats in 2020, which fell to about 4 in 10 this year. On the other hand, about two-thirds of young Black men had a favorable view of the Democrats this year, which was almost identical to how they saw the party four years ago. “Young Hispanic men, and really young men in general, they want to feel valued," said Rafael Struve, deputy communications director for Bienvenido, a conservative group that focused on reaching young Hispanic voters for Republicans this year. “They're looking for someone who fights for them, who sees their potential and not just their struggles.” Struve cited the attempted assassination of Trump during a July rally in Pennsylvania as one of the catalyzing moments for Trump’s image among many young men. Trump, Struve said, was also able to reach young men more effectively by focusing on nontraditional platforms like podcasts and digital media outlets. “Getting to hear from Trump directly, I think, really made all the difference," Struve said of the former president's appearances on digital media platforms and media catering to Latino communities, like town halls and business roundtables Trump attended in Las Vegas and Miami. Not only did Trump spend three hours on Joe Rogan's chart-topping podcast, but he took up DeChambeau's “Break 50” challenge for the golfer's more than 1.6 million YouTube subscribers. Trump already had an edge among young white men four years ago, although he widened the gap this year. About half of white men under 30 supported Trump in 2020, and slightly less than half supported Biden. Trump's gains among young Latino and Black men were bigger. His support among both groups increased by about 20 percentage points, according to AP VoteCast — and their feelings toward Trump got warmer, too. It wasn’t just Trump. The share of young men who identified as Republicans in 2024 rose as well, mostly aligning with support for Trump across all three groups. “What is most alarming to me is that the election is clear that America has shifted right by a lot,” said William He, founder of Dream For America, a liberal group that works to turn out young voters and supported Harris’ presidential bid. With his bombastic demeanor and a policy agenda centered on a more macho understanding of culture , Trump framed much of his campaign as a pitch to men who felt scorned by the country’s economy, culture and political system. Young women also slightly swung toward the former president, though not to the degree of their male counterparts. It's unclear how many men simply did not vote this year. But there's no doubt the last four years brought changes in youth culture and how political campaigns set out to reach younger voters. Democrat Kamala Harris' campaign rolled out policy agendas tailored to Black and Latino men, and the campaign enlisted a range of leaders in Black and Hispanic communities to make the case for the vice president. Her campaign began with a flurry of enthusiasm from many young voters, epitomized in memes and the campaign's embrace of pop culture trends like the pop star Charli XCX's “brat” aesthetic . Democrats hoped to channel that energy into their youth voter mobilization efforts. “I think most young voters just didn’t hear the message,” said Santiago Mayer, executive director of Voters of Tomorrow, a liberal group that engages younger voters. Mayer said the Harris campaign’s pitch to the country was “largely convoluted” and centered on economic messaging that he said wasn’t easily conveyed to younger voters who were not already coming to political media. “And I think that the policies themselves were also very narrow and targeted when what we really needed was a simple, bold economic vision,” said Mayer. Trump also embraced pop culture by appearing at UFC fights, football games and appearing alongside comedians, music stars and social media influencers. His strategists believed that the former president’s ability to grab attention and make his remarks go viral did more for the campaign than paid advertisements or traditional media appearances. Trump's campaign also heavily cultivated networks of online conservative platforms and personalities supportive of him while also engaging a broader universe of podcasts, streaming sites, digital media channels and meme pages open to hearing him. “The right has been wildly successful in infiltrating youth political culture online and on campus in the last couple of years, thus radicalizing young people towards extremism,” said He, who cited conservative activist groups like Turning Point USA as having an outsize impact in online discourse. “And Democrats have been running campaigns in a very old fashioned way. The battleground these days is cultural and increasingly on the internet.” Republicans may lose their broad support if they don't deliver on improving Americans' lives, Struve cautioned. Young men, especially, may drift from the party in a post-Trump era if the party loses the president-elect's authenticity and bravado. Bienvenido, for one group, will double down in the coming years to solidify and accelerate the voting pattern shifts seen this year, Struve said. “We don’t want this to be a one and done thing,” he said. ___ Associated Press writer Joey Cappelletti in Lansing, Michigan, and AP polling editor Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux contributed to this report.
Hyderabad: Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday sent a legal notice to the Andhrajyothy publication demanding an unconditional apology. The notice says that the publication spread defamatory, false, and scandalous reports about him in connection with the legal proceedings initiated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concerning the Adani Group. The notice firmly rejected these claims as false and accused the newspaper of circulating malicious and misleading information about the YSRCP President. “The insinuation and further allegations purported to be sourced from the judicial proceedings in the US are clearly aimed at causing severe damage to my client’s reputation as an individual and as a head of the political party being YSRCP, and also to malign my client’s functioning as the chief minister of the state between 2019 to 2024,” the notice served by Jagan’s advocate read. It has slammed the publication for carrying “untruthful material with intent and prior knowledge that it would cause harm to my client’s reputation seeking to allude to bribes purported to have been paid for securing such agreements and the alleged role of state government securing such contract”. In fact, the notice has come in response to the report saying that the state officials were allegedly paid bribes for solar power purchases during Jagan’s YSR Congress was in power. Rebutting the reports carried by the media organisation, the notice has shared the details of the power purchase agreement, saying it was an agreement amongst governments and no third party was involved in it. It explains: “The subject matter relates to the agreements amongst that parties, the Government of Andhra Pradesh and DISCOMs of Andhra Pradesh and Solar Energy Corporation of India in pursuance of the initiative by the Government of India commencing from its first communication dated 15/09/2021. “It was SECI, an instrumentality of the government of India, that had made the phenomenally beneficial offer to the government of Andhra Pradesh. The main advantages to the state owing to the offer from SECI are — it proposes an arrangement between as GoI undertaking and state government, the tariff at which the solar power was offered was the cheapest of the rates at which the Andhra Pradesh Distribution utilities were procuring solar power till date, the offer from SECI also emphasises the Ministry of Power, GoI’s special incentive of waiver of Intern-State Transmission Charges on the power purchased from SECI, which translates to an impact of around Rs 2 per unit of power,” states the notice. “Can any state government upon receiving such an offer from the Government of India undertaking, that is extremely beneficial to the interests of the state, ignore or decline such an offer?” asks the notice. According to it, “if any state government were to ignore or decline such an offer, would its action not be subject to severe criticism and would motives not be attributed to such state government?” The notice explains how due and thorough process was gone through before executing the agreement. “After due process, the Council of Ministers approved the proposal on 28/10/2021, the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission conveyed their approval on 11/11/2021, the Ministry of Power, GoI, issued orders to Central Electricity Regulatory Commission on 30th November 2021, granting waiver of ISTS charges to the projects and only subsequently the Power Sale Agreement was executed on 01.12.2021 amongst the parties, the Solar Energy Corporation of India, Distribution Utilities of Andhra Pradesh and Government of Andhra Pradesh,” says the notice, adding: “Apart from these, there are no other parties to the Power Sale Agreement.” The tariff that was offered for supply at Rs 2.49 per unit was the least of the tariffs at which PPAs were ever executed in Andhra Pradesh in the last 25 years for procurement of solar power or wind power, says the notice. The notice says that “without regard to the same and the totality of circumstances, including the best interests of the state which was cornerstone of decision making of my client’s tenure as Chief Minister, and the decision-making by my client as head of Government, you relentlessly continue to publish news articles on Andhrajyothy.com from 21/11/2024, with the narrative that the proceedings in US Courts speak of the payment of receipt of bribe to my client.” The former CM has called upon the media outlet to tender an unconditional apology to him, prominently published on the front page of the newspaper forthwith. –

New Canadians, non-traditional demographics boost minor hockey uptake in B.C.Burt, the huge crocodile that rose to fame with a cameo in the movie “Crocodile Dundee” and continued to impress visitors with his fiery temper and commanding presence, has died. Burt died over the weekend, the Crocosaurus Cove reptile aquarium in Darwin, Australia , said. He was at least 90 years old. “Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor — an attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm,” Crocosaurus Cove wrote in social media posts. “He wasn’t just a crocodile, he was a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures. While his personality could be challenging, it was also what made him so memorable and beloved by those who worked with him and the thousands who visited him over the years,” the aquarium wrote. A saltwater crocodile , Burt was estimated to be more than 5 meters (16 feet) long. He was captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River and became one of the most well-known crocodiles in the world, according to Crocosaurus Cove. The 1986 movie stars Paul Hogan as the rugged crocodile hunter Mick Dundee. In the movie, American Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) goes to fill her canteen in a watering hole when she is attacked by a crocodile, before being saved by Dundee. Burt is briefly shown lunging out of the water. But the creature shown in more detail as Dundee saves the day is apparently something else. The Internet Movie Database says the movie goofed by depicting an American alligator, which has a blunter snout. The Australian aquarium where Burt had lived since 2008 features a “Cage of Death” which it says is the nation's only crocodile dive. It said it planned to honor Burt's legacy with a commemorative sign “celebrating his extraordinary life and the stories and interactions he shared throughout his time at the park.” Nick Perry, The Associated Press
In November 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division (“Antitrust Division” or “Division”) updated its guidance on how it will evaluate Corporate Compliance Programs when conducting criminal antitrust investigations. The updated guidance demonstrates that when the Antitrust Division is evaluating a company’s compliance program as part of its investigation and charging-decision process, it will assess what the company has done to preserve electronic communications, such as ephemeral messages, and steps the company has taken to account for new technologies as well as its use of artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic revenue management software when conducting company business. Updating compliance programs in these areas will be helpful for companies seeking to detect and prevent criminal antitrust violations. And should a company become the subject of either a criminal or civil antitrust investigation, evidence that it has developed and implemented policies regarding new communications platforms and protocols concerning the use of AI and algorithmic software will make it easier for a company to effectively argue for credit for a robust and effective compliance program. Such steps may make a meaningful difference in influencing the Antitrust Division when it is making charging decisions. Effective Compliance Programs Should Account for All Forms of Communication The updated guidance indicates that the Antitrust Division will probe whether the company has instituted “clear guidelines regarding the use of ephemeral messaging or non-company methods of communication including the extent to which those communications are permitted and when employees must preserve those communications.” Ephemeral messaging tools allow messages to disappear without a backup or archiving function. The guidance reflects the Antitrust Division’s view that even when employees use personal devices and third-party messaging platforms that have not been formally approved for conducting company business, the Antitrust Division will seek those communications and expect clear guidance from the company to its employees about disclosing and preserving such communications and communication routes. The Antitrust Division will probe the retention and deletion settings that are available to employees, as well as the rationale the company used for establishing its directives. The guidance is consistent with recent updates to the DOJ’s standard preservation letters and subpoenas to include language regarding the preservation of ephemeral messages and other new methods of communications. Companies face clear obstacles in monitoring the actions employees may take when violating company policies regarding ephemeral messaging and non-approved forms of communication to conduct company business. Yet it remains imperative to have clearly articulated policies in place with a sound rationale for the policies that are implemented. When a compliance program addresses these matters and employees are properly trained on the policies, the company can more effectively argue to Division officials that employees who failed to follow clearly stated directives were not acting on behalf of the company. The weight of these arguments will vary depending on the unique circumstances of each case, but having a clearly articulated policy in place will at least provide an avenue to present the argument to Division prosecutors. Compliance Programs Should be Updated to Assess and Address Risk Relating to the Use of AI One of the factors that DOJ prosecutors are instructed to consider when evaluating antitrust compliance programs is how the program handles risk assessment in a variety of categories. The updated guidance states that effective compliance programs must address how a company uses “technology, particularly new technologies such as artificial intelligence” and “algorithmic revenue management software” to conduct business. The DOJ’s guidance follows warnings earlier this year from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that the use of algorithms to assist in determining prices may violate federal antitrust laws, regardless of the business or industry. Per the recent DOJ guidance, compliance programs should have mechanisms to mitigate risk in the deployment of such technology. At a minimum, these mechanisms should help compliance officers understand how AI and other technology tools are being used for pricing and marketing decisions and what the data inputs include. The risk assessment should evaluate what public, non-public, and non-company data are being used as well as what data the company may be sharing externally through technology. In turn, the compliance program should address how the company can detect and correct, when necessary, decisions made by AI or other technologies that may be problematic. Deploying AI and other innovative technologies without proper safeguards increases the risk of lawsuits from civil litigants alleging antitrust violations based on the use of third-party platforms to share sensitive business information. An effective compliance program will evaluate the use of such platforms or third-party information and will require decision makers to document why certain technologies were adopted for business purposes and how those technologies are pro-competitive. Conclusions and Recommendations In 2019, the Antitrust Division announced a shift in its approach for evaluating compliance programs whereby it would credit effective antitrust compliance programs at both the charging and sentencing stages of its enforcement activities. The updated guidance provides insights on the Division’s priorities when considering credit for compliance programs and direction for companies and their compliance officers on how to reevaluate and improve their corporate compliance infrastructure. A robust antitrust compliance program should address each aspect of compliance as discussed in the Antitrust Division’s “Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs in Criminal Antitrust Investigations. ” Two key areas of compliance program assessment should include an evaluation of communications policies for all employees as well as a deeper analysis of how the company is using AI and other technologies in pursuing its business objectives.

Barcelona loses at home for the first time this season
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Spencer Knight made 20 saves, Mackie Samoskevich scored with less than a second left in the second period, and the Florida Panthers got four goals in the third to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 6-0 on Saturday and complete a two-day sweep. Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Evan Rodrigues and Adam Boqvist also scored for Florida, which won 6-3 at Carolina on Friday. The Panthers have won three straight — that streak following a stretch of six losses in seven games for the Stanley Cup champions. It was Knight's fourth career shutout, his first since Nov. 9, 2022 — also at home against Carolina. Spencer Martin made 23 saves on 28 shots for the Hurricanes, who have dropped four of their last six games (2-3-1). It was Martin's fourth consecutive start for Carolina. Hurricanes: This was the first time all season that the Hurricanes failed to get a point in the game immediately following a loss. Carolina was 4-0-1 after a defeat entering Saturday. Panthers: A big day for Samoskevich — his alma mater Michigan beat Ohio State in football on Saturday, that game ending just before the Florida-Carolina game started. The Panthers are 5-0-0 when he scores this season. Sam Reinhart had each of the four most recent Florida goals at 19:59, before Samoskevich got his Saturday. The Panthers scored two goals 11 seconds apart in the third to make it 5-0, and Yaniv Perets replaced Martin in the Hurricanes' net with 8:12 remaining. It was the second NHL appearance for Perets, who came on once in relief for Carolina last season. Ekblad's goal was his first in a span of 1,045 regular-season shifts since Feb. 20. Carolina starts a two-game homestand Tuesday against Seattle. Florida goes to Pittsburgh to start a two-game trip on Tuesday.
