The management of the bathing center has issued a statement expressing deep concern for the welfare of their customers and vowing to cooperate fully with the authorities' investigation. They have temporarily closed the center to allow for a thorough inspection of the facilities and water supply system, as well as to implement necessary safety measures to prevent future incidents.As Eriksen prepares to embark on a new chapter in his career, the footballing world will be watching closely to see where the Danish playmaker will end up next.

Strauss, a senior who won the State Open and New England championships and will run at UConn next year, finished in 17:41.5 over the 5,000-meter course at Franklin Park in Boston Saturday. Liv Sherry of Conard was right behind her in fourth (17:49.3) and Old Lyme’s Chase Gilbert was fifth in 17:56.9). Liv’s twin sister Tess finished 10th in 18:18. On the boys side, State Open and New England champion Soheib Dissa of Newtown finished third (15:23.7) and Nathan Lee of Greenwich was seventh (15:30.3).

Retailers coax Black Friday shoppers into stores with big discounts and giveaways NEW YORK (AP) — Retailers in the U.S. have used giveaways and bigger-than expected discounts to reward shoppers who ventured out on Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving still reigns for now as the unofficial kickoff of the holiday shopping season even if it’s lost some luster. Analysts reported seeing the biggest crowds at stores that offered real savings. They say many shoppers are being cautious with their discretionary spending despite the easing of inflation. Stores are even more under the gun to get shoppers in to buy early and in bulk since there are five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. Online sales figures from Thanksgiving Day gave retailers a reason to remain hopeful for a lucrative end to the year. Southwest Airlines says it is ending cabin service earlier to reduce chance of injury Southwest Airlines is ending its cabin service earlier starting next month. Beginning on Dec. 4, a company spokesperson says flight attendants will begin preparing the cabin for landing at an altitude of 18,000 feet instead of 10,000 feet. The company says it's making the changes to reduce the risk of in-flight turbulence injuries. For passengers, that means they will need to return their seats to an upright position or do other pre-landing procedures earlier than before. While turbulence-related fatalities are quite rare, injuries have piled up over the years. Why your favorite catalogs are smaller this holiday season PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — While retailers hope to go big this holiday season, customers may notice that the catalogs arriving in their mailboxes are smaller. Many of the millions of catalogs getting sent to U.S. homes were scaled down to save on postage and paper. Some gift purveyors are sending out postcards. In a sign of the times, the American Catalog Mailers Association rebranded itself in May as the American Commerce Marketing Association. Despite no longer carrying an extended inventory of goods, industry experts say catalogs help retailers cut through the noise and still hold their own in value because of growing digital advertising costs. Canada's Trudeau says he had an 'excellent conversation' with Trump in Florida after tariffs threat WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he had an “excellent conversation” with Donald Trump in Florida after the president-elect’s threat to impose significant tariffs on two of America’s leading trade partners raised alarms in Ottawa and Mexico City. It's unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada on Saturday, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump’s concerns. Trump’s transition team hasn't responded to questions about what the leaders had discussed at their dinner Friday night at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he said was the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. Trump and Republicans in Congress eye an ambitious 100-day agenda, starting with tax cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans swept to power on Election Day and now control the House, the Senate and the White House, with plans for an ambitious 100-day agenda come January. Their to-do list includes extending tax breaks, cutting social programs, building the border wall to stop immigration and rolling back President Joe Biden's green energy policies. Atop that list is a plan to renew some $4 trillion in expiring tax cuts that were a signature domestic achievement of Republican Donald Trump’s first term as president. It's an issue that may define his return to the White House. The ruble's in a slump. For the Kremlin, that's a two-edged sword Russia’s ruble is sagging against other currencies, complicating the Kremlin’s efforts to keep consumer inflation under control with one hand even as it overheats the economy with spending on the war against Ukraine with the other. Over time a weaker ruble could mean higher prices for imports from China, Russia's main trade partner these days. President Vladimir Putin says things are under control. One wild card is sanctions against a key Russian bank that have disrupted foreign trade payments. If Russia finds a workaround for that, the ruble could regain some of its recent losses. Iceland votes for a new parliament after political disagreements force an early election REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Icelanders are electing a new parliament after disagreements over immigration, energy policy and the economy forced Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson to pull the plug on his coalition government and call early elections. This will be Iceland’s sixth general election since the 2008 financial crisis devastated the economy of the North Atlantic island nation and ushered in a new era of political instability. Opinion polls suggest the country may be in for another upheaval, with support for the three governing parties plunging. Benediktsson, who was named prime minister in April following the resignation of his predecessor, struggled to hold together the unlikely coalition of his conservative Independence Party with the centrist Progressive Party and the Left-Green Movement. Massachusetts lawmakers push for an effort to ban all tobacco sales over time BOSTON (AP) — A handful of Massachusetts lawmakers are hoping to persuade their colleagues to support a proposal that would make the state the first to adopt a ban meant to eliminate the use of tobacco products over time. Other locations have weighed similar “generational tobacco bans.” The bans phase out the use of tobacco products based not just on a person's age but on birth year. Lawmakers plan to file the proposal next year. If approved, the bill would set a date and ban the sale of tobacco to anyone born after that date forever, eventually banning all sales. Vietnam approves $67 billion high-speed railway project between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnam has approved the construction of a high-speed railway connecting the capital Hanoi in the north with the financial capital of Ho Chi Minh in the south. It is expected to cost $67 billion and will stretch 1,541 kilometers (957 miles). The new train is expected to travel at speeds of up to 350 kph (217 mph), reducing the journey from the current 30 hours to just five hours. The decision was taken by Vietnam’s National Assembly on Saturday. Construction is expected to begin in 2027 and Vietnam hopes that the first trains will start operating by 2035. But the country has been beleaguered by delays to its previous infrastructure projects. Inflation rose to 2.3% in Europe. That won't stop the central bank from cutting interest rates FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Inflation in the 20 countries that use the euro currency rose in November — but that likely won’t stop the European Central Bank from cutting interest rates as the prospect of new U.S. tariffs from the incoming Trump administration adds to the gloom over weak growth. The European Union’s harmonized index of consumer prices rose 2.3 percent, up from 2.0% in October, according to EU statistics agency Eurostat. However, worries about growth mean the Dec. 12 ECB meeting is not about whether to cut rates, but by how much. Market buzz says there could be a larger than usual half-point cut in the benchmark rate, currently 3.25%.Article content Every politician – every successful one, anyway – has a turn. Recommended Videos For Jean Chretien and Brian Mulroney, it was coming up short in their 1984 and 1976 leadership races, respectively. For Dalton McGuinty and Doug Ford, it was losing their campaigns to be Ontario premier or Toronto mayor in 1999 and 2014. There are other examples. After those losses, all of those leaders made a turn. They made changes to their staff, they revised their strategy, they modified their approach. All then went on to massive and successive wins. But executing a turn in politics is easier said than done. It requires a willingness to take a hard look at oneself, and do what the Russians call samokritika: self-criticism. It isn’t easy. Pierre Poilievre has executed a turn, and it accounts for most of the considerable success he now enjoys. He has jettisoned the bumper sticker populist stuff for which he was once known – pro-convoy, anti-vaxx, volume and rhetoric always dialled up to 11 – and a different sort of politician has emerged. There’s been a turn. At one point, this writer thought he was awful, even pestilential. I wrote a column in this newspaper excoriating Poilievre , calling him a joke. Like other members of Jean Chretien’s circle, we were livid about how Poilievre had treated Chretien’s former chief of staff Jean Pelletier. Pelletier was dying of cancer and a shadow of his former self when he was hauled before a Parliamentary committee in 2007. Despite his obvious illness, Poilievre mocked Pelletier and accused him of being a liar. “Did you lie in front of the committee the last time you appeared, or are you lying now?” Poilievre asked Pelletier, who was gaunt and thin. Pelletier himself was stoic about how Poilievre treated him as he left the committee hearing room. “I am 72 years old, I am fighting cancer. So it was a good day,” he said, just months away from his death. But Chretien’s loyalists were not as willing to forgive. Poilievre continued like that for some time, voting against gay marriage, voting against abortion, voting with the hardcore conservative fringe. Always angry, always seemingly against everything. And then, something changed. After he became Conservative Leader in 2022, the turn started to reveal itself. Poilievre reversed his position on abortion and equal marriage. He gravitated away from the extremes of the conservative movement. He looked different, too: he dispensed with the glasses and he looked beefed up. He started to smile more. Poilievre could still indulge in rhetorical overkill – Canada isn’t “broken,” sir, our politics are – but not as much as before. Most notably, Poilievre started to sound like a prime minister. Since Oct. 7, Canada has become one of the worst places in the world for antisemitism. Synagogues and Jewish schools have been firebombed and shot up; Jews have been targeted in the streets and in their homes. For his part, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to please both sides, and ended pleasing no one. His ministers, too, sounded indifferent to the atrocities of Hamas and its murderous cabal. Not Poilievre. The Conservative Leader condemned the antisemitism and the hate without obfuscation, without qualification. His voice, alone among the federal leaders, became one of absolute moral clarity. It was not without risk for him – there are many, many more Muslim than Jewish voters in Canada – but he did the right thing. This week, too, when president-elect Donald Trump made his imbecilic promise to slap a 25% tariff on everything Canada exports to the United States, Poilievre did not do what some conservatives have done. He did not attack his own country, and say that Trump was somehow justified. He said the opposite – he said Trump’s threat was “unjustified.” He said he’d “fight fire with fire.” He said he’d respond with tariffs of his own, if need be. Unlike too many conservative partisans, Poilievre did not cravenly seek to justify Trump’s threat. He condemned it, clearly. That is what we expect of our prime ministers: to always put the country, and its people, first. To be a fighter, and make important decisions on our behalf. Without fanfare, without hoopla, Poilievre has evolved into a different sort of politician. More mature, more moderate, more measured. It looks good on him.

In response to Trump's ultimatums, NATO allies have scrambled to reassure the United States of their commitment to increasing defense spending and meeting their financial obligations. Many member countries have already begun to ramp up their defense budgets in response to US pressure, with some pledging to reach the 2% GDP target in the coming years. However, questions remain about the sustainability of these increases and whether they will be enough to satisfy Trump's demands for greater burden-sharing.PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Suspected gang members opened fire on journalists in Haiti's capital on Tuesday as they covered the attempted reopening of the country's largest hospital, according to a local radio station. Radio Télé Métronome said seven journalists and two police officers were wounded. Police did not immediately respond to calls. have taken over much of Port-au-Prince. They forced the closure of the General Hospital early this year during violence that also targeted the main international airport and Haiti’s two largest prisons. Authorities had pledged to reopen the facility Tuesday. But as journalists gathered to cover the event, suspected gang members opened fire. Video posted online showed reporters inside the building and at least three lying on the floor, apparently wounded. The video could not be immediately verified. Johnson “Izo” André, a local gang leader and part of a gang coalition known as Viv Ansanm that has taken control of much of , posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital's reopening. Former visited the Hospital of the State University of Haiti, more widely known as the General Hospital, in July after authorities regained control of it from gangs. The hospital had been left ravaged and strewn with debris. Walls and nearby buildings were riddled with bullet holes, signaling fights between police and gangs. The hospital is across the street from the national palace, the scene of several battles in recent months. . Gangs have been looting, burning and destroying medical institutions and pharmacies in the capital. The health system faces additional challenges from the rainy season, which is likely to worsen conditions and increase the risk of water-borne diseases. Poor hygiene conditions in camps and makeshift settlements have heightened the risk of diseases like cholera. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at Evens Sanon, The Associated Press

Former celebrity spokesperson Zong Ze fined 800,000 RMB for company's infringement of Wahaha trademark and misleading advertising

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and those in his corner continue to muse about annexing Canada, though Canadian officials have largely sidestepped those comments. In a post on the social media platform X, Eric Trump shared a doctored photo of his father purchasing Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal on Amazon, with the phrase “We are so back!!!” Since winning the presidential election in November, Trump has repeatedly referred to Canada as the “51st state.” On Trump’s Truth Social platform, he’s also repeatedly referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of Canada. Trump has also threatened 25 per cent tariffs against Canada, which has prompted discussions at both the federal and provincial levels on the best way to deal with the incoming Trump government. Carleton University professor Aaron Ettinger said federal officials have rightly been dismissing the social-media posts and maintained a “focus like a laser beam” on the real and “existential threat” of tariffs. “This strikes me as being profoundly unserious,” said Ettinger, who has studied Canada-U.S. relations during the first Trump presidency. “These are taunts; these are churlish provocations that are not mature, and do not reflect just how serious the coming trade war is,” he said. Ettinger said Trump is likely continually posting about Canada because it plays well to his supporters, without being seen as a real threat of annexation. “We know his moves. He makes fun of, he belittles, he mocks, because he can,” he said. But he said that a vacuum of leadership in Ottawa from embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is spurring “the freelancing of some of the provincial leaders” in response to Trump’s comments. For example, Ontario Premier Doug Ford weighed in on Trump’s postings on Dec. 18, telling media that “we’ll never be the 51st state. We’re Canada; we’re proud to be Canadians. We’ll always fight for that.” Ettinger said civil society is similarly better to focus on convincing Americans to not impose damaging tariffs on Canada, instead of amping up anti-Trump rhetoric. “Canadians should worry first about what Canada’s actual national interests are,” he said. “We’re not going to out-trash talk Donald Trump, so don’t even bother trying and focus instead on the core stuff that really matters.” In response to Trump’s threats, the Trudeau Liberal government has unveiled a $1.3 billion spending package over six years to address Trump’s threats, which concern border security and the flow of illegal drugs into the United States. Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman has repeatedly characterized Trump’s comments as gentle ribbing between two close countries. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said on Dec. 13 that she has quipped to Republican senators that they could join Canada as the eleventh province. Greenland’s head of government, Múte Bourup Egede, suggested that Trump’s latest calls to purchase the territory from Denmark would be as meaningless as those made in his first term. “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale,” he said in a statement. “We must not lose our years-long fight for freedom.” Panama President José Raúl Mulino has also rebuffed Trump’s musing about taking over the Panama Canal. “Every square metre of the canal belongs to Panama and will continue to,” he said in a video, to which Trump fired back on his social media site, “We’ll see about that!”

The notion of Mbappe being overrated stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the challenges faced by young athletes in the cutthroat world of elite football. The pressure to perform consistently, the weight of expectations, and the intensity of scrutiny can all take a toll on even the most gifted players. Mbappe, despite his prodigious talent, is no exception.As the public bathhouse undergoes a period of closure and renovation, customers are advised to seek alternative facilities for their bathing needs and to prioritize their health and safety above all else.
