NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs ' lawyers tried for a third time Friday to persuade a judge to let the hip-hop mogul out of jail while he awaits his sex trafficking trial, but a decision won’t come until next week as prosecutors warned of his "concerted effort" from behind bars to disrupt the case. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said he'll rule promptly on Combs’ bail request after the defense and prosecution file letters by noon Monday fleshing out some of the arguments they made during at a two-hour hearing in Manhattan federal court. Combs’ lawyers pitched having him await trial under around-the-clock surveillance either at his mansion on an island near Miami Beach or — after the judge scoffed at that location — at an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Their $50 million bail proposal, secured by his Florida home, essentially amounts to keeping Combs on house arrest instead of in custody at the troubled Brooklyn federal jail where he’s been held for 67 days since his September arrest. Under their plan, Combs' lawyers said he'll be under near-total restrictions on his ability to see or contact anyone but them. But prosecutors argued that no bail conditions can mitigate Combs' “risk of obstruction and dangerousness to others.” Combs has routinely flouted jail rules while locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, prosecutors said, accusing him of attempting to interfere with witnesses and taint the jury pool. “Really, this amounts to the defendant paying his way out of custody,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik told Subramanian. Defense lawyer Anthony Ricco countered that the prosecution’s portrayal of Combs as "a lawless person who doesn’t follow instructions” or “an out-of-control individual who has to be detained” is inaccurate. Another Combs lawyer, Teny Geragos, added that given the strict release conditions they've proposed, “it would be impossible for him not to follow rules." Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings. His trial is slated to begin May 5. Two other judges previously concluded that the Bad Boy Records founder would be a danger to the community if he is freed, and an appeals court judge last month denied Combs’ immediate release while a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals weighs his bail request. Friday's hearing was the second time Combs was in court this week. On Tuesday, a judge blocked prosecutors from using as evidence papers that were seized from his cell during a jail-wide sweep for contraband and weapons. As he entered through a side door, Combs waved to relatives including his mother and several of his children in the courtroom gallery, tapping his hand to his heart and blowing kisses at them. He then hugged his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, before sitting at the defense table. Combs was not handcuffed or shackled and wore a beige jail uniform, occasionally pulling a pair of reading glasses from his pocket as he peered at papers in front of him. Prosecutors contend that while incarcerated the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer has orchestrated social media campaigns aimed at influencing potential jurors. They allege that he has also attempted to leak materials he believes would help his case and is contacting potential witnesses via third parties. “Simply put, the defendant cannot be trusted,” Slavik argued. In renewing their push for Combs' release, his lawyers sought to undercut the strength of a potential key piece of evidence: a March 2016 video showing him hitting and kicking his then-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie , in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. Prosecutors contend the assault happened during a “Freak Off," an event in which they allege Combs used his “power and prestige” to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers. Combs' lawyers said in court papers that newly unearthed evidence refutes that, and that the video, which first aired on CNN in May, was “a minutes-long glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship” between Combs and Cassie. Slavik, responding to defense claims that the recording was manipulated or taken out of context, said prosecutors don’t have the full version because Combs paid hotel staff $100,000 “to make the original video go away.” “This is a case about violence," Slavik told Subramanian in a final plea to keep Combs locked up. “The defendant has engaged in physical, sexual and emotional abuse of his romantic partners for years. ... He’s hit. He’s kicked. He’s dragged.” Michael R.

The Nagpur South-West assembly seat in Maharashtra is considered a stronghold of the BJP, but this time its MLA and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is expected to get a good fight from his Congress opponent, according to political observers. While Fadnavis has a strong chance of winning the seat in the November 20 state polls, it could be a close contest between him and his Congress rival Prafulla Gudhade Patil, whom the BJP leader trounced in 2014, they said. Poll and result date: The voting was conducted on November 20 and results will be announced on November 23. What happened in past elections? 2019 elections : Fadnavis secured 109,237 votes, easily defeating Indian National Congress (INC) candidate Dr. Ashish Deshmukh, who garnered 59,893 votes. Fadnavis’s victory margin was a significant 49,344 votes, underscoring his strong political base in the region. 2014 elections: Fadnavis once again claimed victory with 113,918 votes, surpassing INC's Prafulla Vinod Gudadhe (Patil), who secured 54,976 votes. The margin of victory was a large 58,942 votes, solidifying BJP’s influence in Nagpur South West.

Prafulla Gudhade Patil's father Vinod Gudhade Patil was the first BJP MLA from Nagpur district in 1990. The senior Patil was a two-term MLA from Nagpur-West before he left the BJP and joined Congress. He fought as Congress candidate in the 1999 assembly polls and lost to Fadnavis, who was then contesting his first state election. What are key issues of Napur South-West constituency? The flooding in some areas of the constituency after heavy rains last year and inflation are among the most discussed topics among the electorate in the high-profile seat, comprising 4,08,149 voters. The BJP is hoping to blunt the opposition's campaign by highlighting Ladki Bahin Yojana, a financial aid scheme for the poor women, and other welfare measures for different sections of the society, political analysts said. Some prominent establishments like the Multi Modal international Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN), AIIMS, IIM Nagpur are located in the constituency and Fadnavis, who is seeking a sixth term, is expected is to score over his opponent on the development plank, they said.

'She deserves a name'

Google forges ahead with next generation of AIDaily Horoscope for Monday, November 25, 2024, for all zodiac signs by astrologer Vinayak Vishwas Karandikar

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A top Romanian court on Friday annulled the first round of the country's presidential election, days after allegations emerged that Russia ran a coordinated online campaign to promote the far-right outsider who won the first round. The Constitutional Court’s unprecedented decision — which is final — came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia organized thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms such as TikTok and Telegram. The court, without naming Georgescu, said that one of the 13 candidates in the Nov. 24 first round had improperly received “preferential treatment” on social media, distorting the outcome of the vote. Georgescu denounced the verdict as an “officialized coup” and an attack on democracy, as did the second-place finisher, reformist Elena Lasconi of the center-right Save Romania Union party. Despite being an outsider who declared zero campaign spending, Georgescu emerged as the frontrunner who was to face Lasconi in a runoff on Sunday. Some 951 voting stations had already opened abroad on Friday for the runoff for Romania’s large diaspora, but had to be halted. Iohannis said he would remain in office until a new presidential election could be rerun from scratch. On Dec. 1, one week after the first round of the presidential race, Romania also held a parliamentary election , which saw pro-Western parties win the most votes but also gains for far-right nationalists. Iohannis said that once the new government is formed, the date of the new presidential vote would be set. On Wednesday the president had released intelligence files from the Romanian Intelligence Service, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Special Telecommunication Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In a televised statement Friday, Iohannis said he was “deeply concerned” by the contents of the intelligence reports. “Intelligence reports revealed that this candidate’s campaign was supported by a foreign state with interests contrary to Romania’s. These are serious issues," he said. The Constitutional Court in its published decision cited the illegal use of digital technologies including artificial intelligence, as well as the use of “undeclared sources of funding.” It said one candidate received “preferential treatment on social media platforms, which resulted in the distortion of voters’ expressed will." Georgescu slammed the verdict as putting “democracy is under attack.” “I have only one pact ... with the Romanian people and God,” he said in a video statement. “We are no longer talking about fairness but rather about a mockery that betrays the principles of democracy ... It is time to show that we are a courageous people who know that the destiny and rights of the Romanian nation are in our hands.” Lasconi also strongly condemned the court's decision, saying it was “illegal, immoral, and crushes the very essence of democracy" and that the second round should have gone forward. “Whether we like it or not, from a legal and legitimate standpoint, 9 million Romanian citizens, both in the country and the diaspora, expressed their preference for a particular candidate through their votes," she said. “I know I would have won. And I will win because the Romanian people know I will fight for them, that I will unite them for a better Romania,” she added. Some 9.4 million people — about 52.5% of eligible voters — had cast ballots in the first round in this European Union and NATO member country. The president serves a five-year term and has significant decision-making powers in national security, foreign policy and judicial appointments. Most surveys had predicted the top candidate would be Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu of the ruling center-left Social Democrats. They indicated that second place would be claimed by either Lasconi or the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, George Simion. As the surprising results came in with Georgescu on top, and Lasconi narrowly beating Ciolacu, it plunged the political establishment into turmoil. The same court last week ordered a recount of the first-round votes, which added to the myriad controversies that have engulfed a chaotic election cycle. Following a recount, the court then validated the first-round results on Monday. Many observers have expressed concerns that annulling the vote could trigger civil unrest. The court said Friday that its decision was meant “to restore citizens’ trust in the democratic legitimacy of public authorities, in the legality and fairness of elections.” Simion, of the far-right party, said the development was a “coup d’état in full swing” but urged people not to take to the streets. “We don’t let ourselves be provoked, this system has to fall democratically,” he said. Cristian Andrei, a political consultant based in Bucharest, said the court's decision amounts to a “crisis mode situation for Romanian democracy.” “In light of the information about the external interference, the massive interference in elections, I think this was not normal but predictable, because it’s not normal times at all, Romania is an uncharted territory,” he told The Associated Press. “The problem is here, do we have the institutions to manage such an interference in the future?” Georgescu’s surprising success left many political observers wondering how most local surveys were so far off, putting him behind at least five other candidates before the vote. Many observers attributed his success to his TikTok account, which now has 6 million likes and 541,000 followers. But some experts suspected Georgescu’s online following was artificially inflated while Romania’s top security body alleged he was given preferential treatment by TikTok over other candidates. In the intelligence release, the secret services alleged that one TikTok user paid more $381,000 (361,000 euros) to other users to promote Georgescu content. Intelligence authorities said information they obtained “revealed an aggressive promotion campaign” to increase and accelerate his popularity. Georgescu, when asked by the AP in an interview Wednesday whether he believes the Chinese-owned TikTok poses a threat to democracy, defended social media platforms. “The most important existing function for promoting free speech and freedom of expression is social media,” he said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Valerie Starkey was driving through Northern California to visit relatives when she suddenly felt shaking and feared her car had broken down, only to realize later that it was an earthquake so powerful that it triggered a tsunami warning for hundreds of miles of the U.S. West Coast. The epicenter of Thursday's 7.0 magnitude shaker occurred in what’s known as California’s “earthquake country” because it’s where three tectonic plates meet. The temblor was the most powerful to rattle the state since a 7.1-magnitude quake hit Ridgecrest in 2019. Its intensity shocked Starkey and many of the 5.3 million other people along nearly 500 miles (805 kilometers) of the California and Oregon coasts who were under the tsunami warning for about an hour. It was lifted after no major waves arrived. “I thought my axles had fallen apart,” said Starkey, a Del Norte County supervisor representing Crescent City, a town of fewer than 6,000 near the Oregon border. “That’s what I was feeling ... ‘My axles are broken now.’ I did not realize it was an earthquake.” The quake struck at 10:44 a.m. west of Ferndale, a small city in coastal Humboldt County, about 130 miles (209 kilometers) from the Oregon border, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The shaking knocked items off grocery store shelves and sent children scrambling under desks at schools. It was felt as far south as San Francisco, some 270 miles (435 kilometers) away, where residents described a rolling motion for several seconds. It was followed by multiple smaller aftershocks. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries from the quake. The tsunami warning issued shortly after the quake struck spanned from the edge of California’s Monterey Bay north into Oregon. “It was a strong quake. Our building shook. We’re fine, but I have a mess to clean up right now,” said Julie Kreitzer, owner of Golden Gait Mercantile, a store packed with food, wares and souvenirs that is a main attraction in Ferndale. "I have to go. I have to try and salvage something for the holidays because it’s going to be a tough year,” Kreitzer said before hanging up. The region — known for its redwood forests, scenic mountains and the three-county Emerald Triangle’s legendary marijuana crop — was struck by a magnitude 6.4 quake in 2022 that left thousands of people without power and water. The northwest corner of California is the most seismically active part of the state because it’s where three tectonic plates meet, seismologist Lucy Jones said on the social media platform BlueSky. Shortly after the quake, phones in Northern California buzzed with the tsunami warning from the National Weather Service that said: “A series of powerful waves and strong currents may impact coasts near you. You are in danger. Get away from coastal waters. Move to high ground or inland now. Keep away from the coast until local officials say it is safe to return.” Numerous cities urged people to evacuate to higher ground as a precaution. In Santa Cruz, authorities cleared the main beach, taping off entrances with police tape. Aerial footage showed cars bumper-to-bumper heading to higher ground on California highways 1 and 92 in the Half Moon Bay area south of San Francisco. Cindy Vosburg, the executive director for the Crescent City-Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce, said she heard alarms sound just before shaking began, and the city's cultural center downtown started to creak. “Just as it would start to subside, the building would roll again," Vosburg said. White House spokesperson Jeremy Edwards said President Joe Biden was briefed on the earthquake and that FEMA officials are in touch with their state and local counterparts in California and Oregon. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed off on a state of emergency declaration to quickly move state resources to impacted areas along the coast. State officials were concerned about damage in the northern part of the state, Newsom said. Crews in Eureka, the biggest city in the region, were assessing if there was any damage. Eureka Mayor Kim Bergel, who works at a middle school, said lights were swaying and everyone got under desks. “The kids were so great and terrified. It seemed to go back and forth for quite a long time,” she said. Some children asked, “Can I call my mom?" The students were later sent home. Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said residents experienced cracks in their homes’ foundations, as well as broken glass and windows, but nothing severe. Honsal said he was in his office in the 75-year-old courthouse in downtown Eureka when he felt the quake. “We’re used to it. It is known as ‘earthquake country’ up here,” he said. “It wasn’t a sharp jolt. It was a slow roller, but significant.” The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, known as BART, stopped traffic in all directions through the underwater tunnel between San Francisco and Oakland, and the San Francisco Zoo’s visitors were evacuated. This quake was a strike-slip type of temblor that shifts more horizontally and is less prone to cause tsunamis, unlike the more vertical types, said National Weather Service tsunami program manager Corina Allen in Washington state. Dazio reported from Los Angeles. Associated Press writers Christopher Weber, Jaimie Ding and Dorany Pineda in Los Angeles; Martha Mendoza in Santa Cruz, California; Sophie Austin and Tran Nguyen in Sacramento, California; and Seth Borenstein in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.

The following is the latest list of selected news summaries by Kyodo News. ---------- TOKYO - Local chapters of Japan's ruling party led by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba received 1.78 billion yen ($12 million) in donations in 2023 from companies and other entities, accounting for most of the roughly 1.9 billion yen among all political parties, a Kyodo News tally showed Friday. The figure illustrates that while such donations are legal, the Liberal Democratic Party remains highly dependent on them at a time when the country's opposition parties are calling for a ban. Ishiba's LDP is opposed to the idea, rejecting the claims that corporate and other donations have distorted policy-making. ---------- TOKYO - Japanese actress and singer Miho Nakayama, known for having starred in the acclaimed 1995 romantic film "Love Letter," and a string of hit dramas, was found dead Friday in the bathtub of her Tokyo home, investigative sources said.

Also, Mangione's fingerprints match those investigators found on items near the scene of the December 4 assassination of the UnitedHealthcare chief, Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a public event. Three 9 mm shell casings from the crime scene had the words "delay," "deny" and "depose" written across them , one word per bullet, NYPD's Chief Detective Joseph Kenny has said. Police have been looking into whether the words, which title a 2010 book critiquing the insurance industry, may point to a motive in CEO Brian Thompson's killing . "First, we got the gun in question back from Pennsylvania. It's now at the NYPD crime lab," Tisch, the commissioner, said Wednesday. "We were able to match that gun to the three shell casings that we found in Midtown at the scene of the homicide." "We're also at the crime lab able to match the person of interest's fingerprints with fingerprints that we found on both the water bottle and the KIND bar near the scene of the homicide in midtown," she said. Authorities had been probing DNA material and a partial fingerprint from a discarded Starbucks water bottle and an energy bar wrapper surveillance images showed the suspect buying about 30 minutes before the shooting. The fingerprints were the first positive forensic match tying Mangione directly to the scene where Thompson was gunned down just over a week ago outside a hotel, two law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told CNN earlier Wednesday. CNN has reached out to Mangione's attorney for comment on what police have said about the shell casing and fingerprint matches. The killing of Thompson - a husband and father of two - has laid bare many Americans' fury toward the health care industry, with Mangione garnering sympathy online and offers to pay his legal bills. It's also struck fear in C-suites across the country, as an NYPD intelligence report obtained by CNN warns online rhetoric could "signal an elevated threat facing executives in the near-term ..." The fingerprint and firearms disclosures come as authorities dig into Mangione, who remains in custody in Pennsylvania on gun-related charges as he fights extradition to New York, where he's charged with murder. Since his arrest Monday thanks to a tipster at a McDonald's, the 26-year-old's background also is starting to come into focus. The privileged scion of a well-to-do family, high school valedictorian and Ivy League graduate vanished from view of his loved ones in recent months, only to emerge as the suspect in a high-profile killing potentially fueled by his struggle with a painful back injury. Mangione's lawyer has denied his client's involvement in the killing in New York and anticipates he will plead not guilty there to the murder charge, among other counts. Mangione also plans to plead not guilty to Pennsylvania charges related to a gun and fake ID police found when they arrested him in Altoona, attorney Thomas Dickey said. "I haven't seen any evidence that they have the right guy," Dickey told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "The Source." Dickey has not seen the evidence, including writings police said were in Mangione's possession at the time of his arrest, the lawyer reiterated Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." In some of Mangione's writings, he referenced pain from a back injury he got in July 2023, New York Police Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told Fox News on Tuesday. Investigators are looking into an insurance claim for the injury. "Some of the writings that he had, he was discussing the difficulty of sustaining that injury," Kenny said. "So, we're looking into whether or not the insurance industry either denied a claim from him or didn't help him out to the fullest extent." Mangione was denied bail at an extradition hearing Tuesday afternoon at the Blair County Courthouse in Pennsylvania. As he entered the courthouse, shackled at the hands and feet and wearing an orange prison jumpsuit with DOC emblazoned on the back, he yelled, in part, "It's completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. It's lived experience." Investigators detail gun, silencer and fake ID New York prosecutors charged Mangione with one count of murder, two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, one count of second-degree possession of a forged document, and one count of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, online court documents show. Mangione is the person seen in surveillance video fatally shooting Thompson outside a Hilton hotel en route to his company's annual investor conference, officials assert, citing charging documents in which Detective Yousef Demes of the Midtown North Detective Squad outlines evidence, including that the man seen in surveillance footage from a New York hostel is wearing the same clothing. After arresting Mangione in the Altoona McDonald's, police found "a black 3D-printed pistol and a black silencer" that was also 3D printed, according to the criminal complaint. While being taken into custody, Mangione also presented a forged New Jersey ID with the name Mark Rosario, which matched the ID the man at the hostel used, Demes wrote. Suspect appeared to view targeted killing as a 'symbolic takedown' The suspect appeared to be driven by anger against the health insurance industry and against "corporate greed" as a whole, according to an NYPD intelligence report obtained Tuesday by CNN. "He appeared to view the targeted killing of the company's highest-ranking representative as a symbolic takedown and a direct challenge to its alleged corruption and 'power games,' asserting in his note he is the 'first to face it with such brutal honesty,'" says the NYPD assessment, which was based on Mangione's "manifesto" and social media. Along with a three-page handwritten "claim of responsibility" found on Mangione when he was taken into custody, investigators are looking at the suspect's writing in a spiral notebook, a law enforcement source briefed on the matter told CNN. It included to-do lists to facilitate a killing, as well as notes justifying those plans, the source said. In one notebook passage, Mangione wrote about the late Ted Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber who justified a deadly bombing campaign as an effort to protect against the onslaught of technology and exploitation. Mangione had written about the Unabomber in online posts as well. Mangione knew UnitedHealthcare was holding an investors' conference around the time Thompson was shot and killed - and the suspect mentioned in writings he would be going to the conference site, the NYPD's Kenny told Fox News on Tuesday. In the notebook passage, Mangione concludes using a bomb against his intended victim "could kill innocents" and shooting would be more targeted, musing what could be better than "to kill the CEO at his own bean counting conference," a law enforcement official briefed on the matter told CNN. The three-page document did not include specific threats but indicated "ill will towards corporate America," Kenny said. Why Mangione may be fighting extradition With Mangione fighting extradition, a Pennsylvania court has given him 14 days to file for writ of habeas corpus - putting the burden of proof on those detaining the person to justify the detention - and a hearing will be scheduled if he does. Pennsylvania prosecutors have 30 days to get a governor's warrant, which New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she will work with prosecutors to sign and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro "is prepared to sign and process ... promptly as soon as it is received." Blair County District Attorney Peter Weeks said his office is prepared "to do what's necessary" to get Mangione back to New York. There could be several reasons Mangione is fighting his extradition, said Karen Agnifilo, a CNN legal analyst and defense attorney. It would give him more time to think about his defense, demand prosecutors present more evidence at his next hearing or try to get bail in Pennsylvania, which is unlikely. Indeed, it could take up to two months before authorities could bring Mangione back to New York after the governor's warrant is obtained, said Agnifilo, who previously worked at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Most criminal defendants facing prosecution on more serious charges in another state waive their right to extradition, but in murder cases like Mangione's, "there's no chance he's going to be let out, so he's fighting extradition," she said. "Eight or 9 out of 10 times, defendants waive extradition because they realize this is so perfunctory, it's so easy, and most of them don't want to languish in detention in the other state because you don't even get to fight your case yet," Agnifilo said. Pennsylvania state Judge Dave Consiglio denied Mangione bail related to both state dockets, saying he would remain at the Huntingdon State Correctional Institution.

LARAMIE – Leaders at the University of Wyoming gave themselves another day to deliberate whether they will allow permit holders to carry concealed firearms inside campus facilities. After months of discussion, surveys and public forums, the UW Board of Trustees postponed a scheduled Thursday vote on changing the university’s “ Storing Or Carrying Dangerous Weapons In University Facilities ” policy. Trustee John McKinley, chairman of the board’s legislative committee, told the board that as late as Wednesday night, leaders were discussing amendments to the proposed rule change. Those late changes included prohibiting firearms in the residence halls, Half Acre Recreation and Wellness Center, and at the Early Care and Education Center. John McKinley The latest draft rule also was amended to remove a provision for reciprocity to permit holders from other states, so only Wyoming concealed carry permit holders would be allowed to carry firearms into other facilities on campus, including classrooms. McKinley suggested that following additional public comment Thursday morning, the committee should meet one more time, with any final amendments to be ready for a Friday morning vote. Public comment Thursday, made largely by students, faculty and staff, was primarily in opposition of the rule change — amended or not. “An increase in gun ownership and lax concealed carry laws are associated with increased suicides, particularly in emerging adults, also known as college-age adults,” said Hannah Phalen, an assistant professor of psychology. Phalen said data shows that on campuses that allow concealed carry, 42% of successful suicide attempts are conducted with a firearm, compared to only 13% on campuses that do not allow concealed carry. “I was excited to see that the new proposed rule includes (as an exception) residence halls. But I also urge the board to go further and exclude all campus housing from this rule,” Phalen said. Caroline McCracken-Flesher, director of the Center for Global Studies and an English professor, pointed out that the rule change also exempts those who get to vote on it — but not those who do not. “Among the exemptions listed in this document, places of education are conspicuous by their absence,” McCracken-Flesher said, listing protected spaces such as governmental and trustees meetings. “In other words, places frequented by those who vote on this document,” she said. “What is not protected from firearms are classrooms (and) faculty offices. University classrooms and faculty offices are places of ideas. That means they are necessarily places of contention, they are places of great anxiety, they are places of academic rivalry. “They are not places for weapons,” McCracken-Flesher said. A student walks past White Hall on Oct. 19, 2018. One University of Wyoming College of Law student, Brandon Calloway, spoke in favor of the rule change, arguing that it would “close critical safety gaps” on campus, where concealed carry is allowed outside of, but not inside, university facilities. “Here is the stark reality,” Calloway said. “No one knows whether someone is already carrying a concealed firearm inside university facilities.” Under the current policy, he argued, “uncertainty prevails,” and the change would eliminate contradiction. Several students asked university leadership why — at a time when they said on-campus mental health and morale are markedly low — leaders are focusing on concealed carry on campus. “Why? Why is this the main discussion on campus right now?” Elementary Education major Liz Pearson asked. “We have a huge mental health crisis on campus. Why aren’t we talking about that?” UW President Ed Seidel reminded the room that during the 2024 legislative session, both the House and Senate approved House Bill 125 - Repeal gun free zones , which would have permitted anyone with a concealed carry permit to carry weapons into Wyoming’s K-12 public schools, as well as the university. That bill was vetoed by Gov. Mark Gordon, who then directed state agencies to begin developing their own policies. Ed Seidel “A number of you ask — and I understand why you ask — you ask, ‘Why are we here today?’” Seidel said. “As Wyoming’s public university, we do have a responsibility to respond to our state leadership and to reinforce the state’s constitution.” UW Board of Trustees Chairman Kermit Brown urged all those present Thursday to approach the Legislature in 2025, when this same topic comes up again. “There will be a bill, and that bill is going to be an overarching reach that would go over the top of all of the rules the university makes, all the rules anybody makes,” said Brown, who is a former state lawmaker. He continued that the trustees are trying to create a university-only policy that could satisfy lawmakers’ wishes. In the end, though, Brown pointed out that lawmakers have the ability to overrule university leadership. “We are trying to find a position that maybe will be acceptable to the Legislature, but we don’t know whether the Legislature will accept it, or whether it will cast all this aside and do their own thing,” he said. Kermit Brown “So, if you were passionate, and if you were dedicated today to the position you took with this board, you have to understand: You have to go to Cheyenne. When they have those hearings, and they have those meetings, you have to talk to your individual legislators, and you have to go to Cheyenne and make your voice known,” Brown continued. “They hear you when you go over there, and it is important that you go over there and appear in person. Make the same kind of presentation that you did here. And take everybody with you.” Get any of our free email newsletters — news headlines, sports, arts & entertainment, state legislature, CFD news, and more.Montreal’s police chief said he expects more arrests stemming from a Friday anti-NATO protest that turned violent, while one of the protest organizers on Sunday denounced political reaction as hijacking the underlying message of the demonstration. Uniformed police officers could be seen Sunday both inside and outside Montreal’s Palais des congres convention centre as the annual meeting continued with no signs of demonstrations, although some protesters had planned a “counter-summit” at a community centre just north of downtown. Chief Fady Dagher told reporters on Saturday that more arrests would be coming thanks to additional evidence gathered during the protests, adding that police were aware of who was behind the vandalism including smashed windows and burned cars as well as alleged assaults on police officers. Police said that during the march, smoke bombs were deployed, metal barriers were thrown into the street and windows smashed of nearby businesses and the convention centre where delegates from NATO parliamentary assembly, including members and partner states, gathered for a session set to wrap Monday. Among the issues being broached were support for Ukraine, climate change and the future of the alliance. Dagher estimated that about 800 people took part in protests from several groups, but about 20 to 40 people were allegedly responsible for the trouble. “I do not want to advertise these groups and glorify these groups, it is a big trap to do so,” Dagher said. “But I can assure to you ... it is a few groups.” Montreal police arrested three people following Friday’s demonstration — a 22-year-old woman who was arrested for allegedly obstructing police work and assaulting a police officer and two men, 22 and 28, also each facing a charge for allegedly obstructing police work. All are scheduled to appear in court at a later date. “Despite what you saw in the images, last-minute impromptu events are extremely difficult to anticipate,” Dagher added. “We have other pieces of evidence. So probably we will have other arrests.” Friday night’s protest was condemned by politicians of all stripes Saturday as acts of antisemitism, which one organizer rejected, saying the protests were against the actions of the state of Israel and not Jewish people. On Sunday, the Divest for Palestine Collective denounced what it called “dishonest attempts” of politicians to hijack the “anti-militarist, anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist messages” delivered by protesters. In an emailed statement, it refuted allegations of antisemitism. “These are false accusations aimed at delegitimizing the solidarity movement for the liberation of Palestine and undermining the fight against antisemitism,” the group wrote. The group defended setting ablaze a doll representing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the protest. Earlier this week, the International Court of Justice issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu as well as his former defence minister and Hamas members. “It is a legitimate expression of collective anger against the political indifference at the heart of an ongoing colonial genocide,” the collective said. The collective also denounced what it called police violence against demonstrators, saying at least four protesters had to be taken to hospital with various injuries. Dagher said he could not make a firm link between Friday’s acts and antisemitism, but added that since the Oct. 7 attacks more than one year ago, incidents and acts of antisemitism and Islamophobia have both increased enormously in the city. The police chief however, defended his officers handling of Friday’s event, which he felt could have been much worse. He added he would spend the rest of the weekend with his officers on the ground to lend support.Tweet Facebook Mail One-in-10 drivers who were pulled over for a random drug test in New South Wales tested positive in the last 12 months, according to a new report by the NRMA. The "Driving High" report calls on the state government to increase roadside drug testing to 200,000 tests a year - up from 160,000 in 2023. The report also found that drug driving is now the second-leading cause of road deaths in NSW, above fatigue, drink driving, and not using seatbelts.

(Getty) A total of 79 people were killed in drug related crashes in 2023, 24 more than in 2022. In nearly 70 per cent of drug driving crashes, the drug in the driver's system was cannabis, followed by methylamphetamine (43 per cent) and cocaine (seven per cent). The overwhelming majority of drivers involved in fatal crashes who had drugs in their system were males (85 per cent) and drivers or motorcycle riders aged 20-29 years old (31 per cent) were the largest cohort.
