One of the greatest party bands ever will be jamming at the Seneca Niagara Casino for New Year’s Eve. Morris Day and The Time will play a free show at the Niagara Falls, N.Y. venue, jamming from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on the gaming floor at the Stir bar. New Year’s Eve will also mark the 22nd anniversary of Seneca opening in the former Niagara Falls Convention and Civic Center. Created by Prince in the early 1980s, The Time had modest success on the R&B charts before scoring big with the film “Purple Rain,” in which Day and the band played Prince’s rivals. It spawned their two biggest pop singles, “Jungle Love” and “The Bird.” They never hit those heights again and the band endured infighting. They even had an actual rivalry with Prince to ride some funky nostalgia, most memorably when playing themselves in the Kevin Smith comedy “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.” In addition to the band, DJ Nicholas Picholas will be spinning tunes at Stir throughout the night. The free show is the only concert scheduled at Niagara-area casinos for New Year’s Eve. Fallsview Casino Resort does not have any shows scheduled for Dec. 31 at either of its theatres.

UN nuclear watchdog board passes resolution chiding IranLove it or loathe it, the Boxing Day sales are a time-honoured tradition for many families and keen shoppers. While some would rather stay tucked up in bed than brave the elements, for retail lovers it's a chance to bag some of the biggest bargains of the year. The tradition of shops holding discount sales on December 26 started up in the late 1990s after the government amended Sunday trading laws. This allowed stores to stay open on Bank Holidays and changed the spirit of when it was considered morally ‘right’ to shop. This morning (December 26), with the Boxing Day sales underway, many from across Greater Manchester - and further afield - made the trip to the Trafford Centre to see what discounts and offer were in store. While doors officially opened at 8am for most the of the shops, some shoppers were allowed into units including Boots to browse from 7:30am.

The bath bomb experts typically only hold one sale a year, making the discount particularly alluring to beauty lovers. Some arrived from 6am to secure their place in the queue - and throughout the day a steady stream of shoppers flooded into the store.

Also enjoying the discount on Lush's signature range was Megan Bell who arrived at the Trafford Centre at 7am. As well as bagging a Valentino Men's set from Boots for £73 instead of £43, she saved over £100 at Lush, picking up the Snow Fairy scented gifts, shower gets and other beauty sets. She comes down with her mother-in-law every year and told us that she also shops online for the best deals.

Outside here, we ran into Leon, who was buzzing over his purchases. With a number of bags slung over his shoulder he showed us his new tracksuit from JD, plus a pair of Fila trainers and a pair of Champion trainers from Foot Asylum. "The thing about me is I love shopping on Boxing Day," he beamed. Leon with his Boxing Day purchases (Image: Sean Hansford | Manchester Evening News) " Christmas Day is for the kids. This is my Christmas, I love it." Heading into Selfridges we also caught up with Peyton and her mum Nicole. Sporting a black quilted jacket she quickly informed us that she had already purchased her best buy of the day. She had manged to find the Moncler jacket she was sporting for £750 - a saving of £500 using Christmas money.

Finishing off some shopping inside the Lego store on the upper level, Suzanne, her two sons and her mum showed off their new wares. Arriving at 10am from Preston, it was the families first Boxing Day at the Trafford Centre, and they made sure not to go home empty handed. While Suzanne, managed to get a range of handbags from River Island for around £15 - instead of £40, one of her sons got a pair of Nike trainers from JD for £40 instead of £140. Her other son meanwhile, bagged football trainers for £20 instead of £40.

"But it's actually been pleasant, I didn't think I'd get anything and I have. It's been a day out and also a chance to check out the sales." Meanwhile, Tom and Tori headed to the Trafford Centre to buy coats ahead of a trip to Iceland tomorrow, and while Tori may have paid full price for her Patagonia coat, she did get a decent discount at Sephora - spending £70 on a perfume rather than £130.

"I got some fair lights for 20% at the White Company," she told us. "The car parks seems a lot quieter than usual but I guess it's getting busier now. I've also come for some pyjamas for my son's girlfriend. They weren't on sale but I came in person to get them because they come in a nice bag and if you pay online you have to pay a little more to get them in a nice bag." Other shoppers were able to get deals at shops including Abercrombie - and stock up on work clothes - while others like Darren bagged some bedding sets from Selfridges for £105 instead of the original price of £180.Another encouraging trend observed in the VAT invoice data is the strengthening of domestic consumption.

Daniel’s bill would implement an overarching statutory duty of care on social media companies, with the goal being “safety by design”. “What you need to make that work is the companies to assess the risks, mitigate the risks, and be transparent about how they’re doing that,” Daniel told ABC News Breakfast. “The bill also has a provision to enable users to have control over the algorithm as exists overseas, particularly in the EU, enabling users to either reset or turn off their algorithm if they wish.” Independent MP Zoe Daniel. Credit: Alex Ellinghausen Daniel says her work in the space began with tackling eating disorders, with a working group revealing the damage the algorithm was doing to sufferers by delivering them more content about eating disorders. She says the same trend is seen in a range of public health issues including gambling. Loading “The problem with the algorithm is that in many ways, it compounds negative behaviour, and particularly for young people - that can send young people into a real spiral,” Daniel said. “The legislation is based on international best practice, so in effect, it cherry-picks the best of legislation that is already in place in Europe and in the UK.” The Goldstein MP said the government have been responsive to her proposal, and flagged they would consider duty of care eventually. But Daniel hopes the government will consider her bill now. “I understand why they want to do [the under 16s social media ban] because it is a lever to pull now and it makes parents feel better, but it actually makes zero difference to what is happening on the platforms. It doesn’t manage the algorithm or force the platforms to do anything about what is happening in their environment.” 3.50am Social media giants attack ‘rushed’ consult for ban Social media companies, including Snapchat, TikTok, and Meta, have taken aim at the “rushed” consultation process for the ban on children under 16. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland introduced the world-leading reform to parliament last Thursday, which she said would make the online environment better for young people. The consultation period for groups and individuals to make submissions closed on Friday. A Senate committee held a one-day hearing on Monday and is due to report back on Tuesday. In submissions to the inquiry, several groups, including social media companies, pointed to the short notice period. Loading Snap Inc. wrote that “the extremely compressed timeline” had allowed stakeholders little more than 24 hours to provide a response, which “severely” constrained thorough analysis and informed debate. X, formerly Twitter, also criticised the “unreasonably short time frame of one day”, writing that it has “serious concerns as to the lawfulness of the bill”. Meta, which owns Facebook, wrote that there had been “minimal consultation or engagement” and urged the government to wait for the results of the age assurance trial before progressing with the legislation. TikTok said that despite the “time-limited review”, there was a range of “serious, unresolved problems” that the government must clarify to ensure there wouldn’t be unintended consequences for all Australians.

Nicolas Pepe, a club-record signing, has struggled to consistently deliver on the left side, often cutting inside onto his stronger foot and becoming predictable for opposition defenders. Willian, another summer signing, has failed to make a significant impact on the left flank, with his performances lacking the creativity and dynamism needed to support Saka effectively.
