Authorities found Haddon, 76, dead in a second-floor bedroom on Friday morning after emergency dispatchers were notified about a person unconscious at the house in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania. A 76-year-old man police later identified as Walter J Blucas, of Erie, was hospitalised in critical condition. Responders detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property and township police said on Saturday that investigators determined that “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak”. Two medics were taken to a hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer was treated at the scene. As a model, Haddon appeared on the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Esquire in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the 1973 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She also appeared in about two dozen films from the 1970s to 1990s, according to IMDb, including 1994’s Bullets Over Broadway, starring John Cusack. Haddon left modelling after giving birth to her daughter, Ryan, in the mid-1970s, but then had to re-enter the workforce after her husband’s 1991 death. This time, she found the modelling industry far less friendly: “They said to me, ‘At 38, you’re not viable,'” Haddon told The New York Times in 2003. Working a menial job at an advertising agency, Haddon began reaching out to cosmetic companies, telling them there was a growing market to sell beauty products to aging baby boomers. She eventually landed a contract with Clairol, followed by Estee Lauder and then L’Oreal, for which she promoted the company’s anti-aging products for more than a decade. She also hosted beauty segments for CBS’s The Early Show. “I kept modelling, but in a different way,” she told The Times, “I became a spokesperson for my age.” In 2008, Haddon founded WomenOne, an organisation aimed at advancing educational opportunities for girls and women in marginalised communities, including Rwanda, Haiti and Jordan. Haddon was born in Toronto and began modelling as a teenager to pay for ballet classes – she began her career with the Canadian ballet company, Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, according to her website. Haddon’s daughter, Ryan, said in a social media post that her mother was “everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many”. “A pure heart. A rich inner life. Touching so many lives. A life well lived. Rest in Light, Mom,” she said.

Federal appeals court upholds law requiring sale or ban of TikTok in the US A federal appeals court panel on Friday unanimously upheld a law that could lead to a ban on TikTok in a few short months, handing a resounding defeat to the popular social media platform as it fights for its survival in the U.S. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the law - which requires TikTok to break ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance or be banned by mid-January — is constitutional, rebuffing TikTok’s challenge that the statute ran afoul of the First Amendment and unfairly targeted the platform. TikTok and ByteDance — another plaintiff in the lawsuit — are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court. Police believe the gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare's CEO left NYC on a bus after the shooting NEW YORK (AP) — Police officials say the gunman who killed the CEO of the largest U.S. health insurer three days ago may have quickly left New York City on a bus after escaping on a bicycle and hopping in a cab. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told CNN on Friday that video of the gunman fleeing Wednesday’s shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson showed him riding through Central Park and later taking a taxi to a bus terminal, directly across from New Jersey. Kenny said police have video of the man entering the bus station but no video of him exiting, leading them to believe he left the city. Investigators also believe the shooter left his backpack in Central Park and are trying to find it. Trump offers a public show of support for Pete Hegseth, his embattled nominee to lead the Pentagon WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is offering a public show of support for Pete Hegseth, his embattled choice to lead the Pentagon. Hegseth's ability to win confirmation by the Senate is wavering as he faces questions over allegations of excessive drinking, sexual assault and his views on women in combat. Trump posted on social media that Hegseth is a winner “and there is nothing that can be done to change that.” Hegseth spent much of the week on Capitol Hill trying to salvage his Cabinet nomination and reassure Republican senators that he is fit to lead the Pentagon. IAEA chief: Iran is poised to 'quite dramatically' increase stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Iran is poised to “quite dramatically” increase its stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium. That's according to comments by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency on Friday. Rafael Mariano Grossi spoke in Bahrain, on the sidelines of the International Institute of Strategic Studies’ Manama Dialogue. He says Iran had begun preparing advanced centrifuge cascades to spin at nuclear facilities to increase its supply of 60% enriched uranium. That kind of material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. Grossi says this is “very concerning." Iran did not immediately acknowledge the preparations, which Grossi said had begun on Friday. Inspectors hope to examine what’s going on. US added a strong 227,000 jobs in November in bounce-back from October slowdown WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s job market rebounded in November, adding 227,000 workers in a solid recovery from the previous month, when the effects of strikes and hurricanes had sharply diminished employers’ payrolls. Last month’s hiring growth was up considerably from a meager gain of 36,000 jobs in October. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in September and October by a combined 56,000. Friday’s report also showed that the unemployment rate ticked up from 4.1% in October to a still-low 4.2%. The November data provided the latest evidence that the U.S. job market remains durable even though it has lost significant momentum from the 2021-2023 hiring boom, when the economy was rebounding from the pandemic recession. Trump taps forceful ally of hard-line immigration policies to head Customs and Border Protection WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump's immigration and border team is filling out. Trump has announced a former Border Patrol chief, Rodney Scott, to head the Customs and Border Protection agency. Scott is a career Border Patrol agent who rose to head the agency during Trump's first term. He's been a vocal supporter of tougher enforcement measures. At CBP he'll head a department of roughly 60,000 employees responsible for protecting the country’s borders while also facilitating trade and travel. Trump also said he’d nominate Caleb Vitello as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that, among other things, arrests migrants in the U.S. illegally. Vitello is a career ICE official with more than 23 years in the agency. Romania's top court annuls first round of presidential vote won by far-right candidate BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A top Romanian court has annulled the first round of the country’s presidential election, days after declassified intelligence alleged Russia ran a coordinated online campaign to promote the far-right outsider who won the first round. Friday's unprecedented and final decision by the Constitutional Court came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia ran a sprawling campaign comprising thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms like TikTok and Telegram. Despite being a huge outsider who declared zero campaign spending, Georgescu emerged as the frontrunner on Nov. 24. He was due to face reformist Elena Lasconi of the Save Romania Union party in a runoff on Sunday. Crews recover the body of a woman from a Pennsylvania sinkhole after a 4-day search Police say the remains of a woman who fell into a sinkhole have been recovered four days after she went missing while searching for her cat. Trooper Steve Limani said Friday that the body of 64-year-old Elizabeth Pollard was sent to the Westmoreland County Coroner’s Office for an autopsy. Pollard disappeared while looking for her cat on Monday evening, and authorities found her car close to what is thought to be a newly opened sinkhole above a long abandoned coal mine a few hours later. The sinkhole is in the village of Marguerite, about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh. Jury will consider lesser charge in NYC subway chokehold case, judge dismisses manslaughter charge NEW YORK (AP) — The judge overseeing the trial of a man accused of using a deadly chokehold on an unruly subway passenger has dismissed the top charge in the case at the request of prosecutors, allowing the jury to consider a lesser count after the panel indicated it was deadlocked on whether Daniel Penny was guilty of manslaughter. The judge’s decision on Friday came hours after Manhattan jurors sent him a note saying they were unable to agree on a manslaughter verdict. Penny is facing charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, who Penny held in a chokehold for about six minutes on a New York City subway in 2023. Vance tells residents in hurricane-stricken North Carolina that they haven't been forgotten FAIRVIEW, N.C. (AP) — Vice President-elect JD Vance is surveying hurricane damage in western North Carolina in one of his first public appearances since the November election. Vance and his wife, Usha, visited the Fairview Volunteer Fire Department, which was flooded with 4 to 6 inches of water in the storm. They heard that roughly a dozen people contracted walking pneumonia while responding to the hurricane's destruction and that power outages prevented some first responders from talking with their families. Vance said, “My simple message to the people of Appalachia is that we haven’t forgotten you — we love you.” Vance has largely stayed out of the public eye since the election aside from shepherding Trump’s Cabinet nominees around Capitol Hill.Get a lifetime license for Microsoft Office for Windows or Mac for $70

By TOM KRISHER, Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — For a second time, a Delaware judge has nullified a pay package that Tesla had awarded its CEO, Elon Musk, that once was valued at $56 billion. On Monday, Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick turned aside a request from Musk’s lawyers to reverse a ruling she announced in January that had thrown out the compensation plan. The judge ruled then that Musk effectively controlled Tesla’s board and had engineered the outsize pay package during sham negotiations . Lawyers for a Tesla shareholder who sued to block the pay package contended that shareholders who had voted for the 10-year plan in 2018 had been given misleading and incomplete information. In their defense, Tesla’s board members asserted that the shareholders who ratified the pay plan a second time in June had done so after receiving full disclosures, thereby curing all the problems the judge had cited in her January ruling. As a result, they argued, Musk deserved the pay package for having raised Tesla’s market value by billions of dollars. McCormick rejected that argument. In her 103-page opinion, she ruled that under Delaware law, Tesla’s lawyers had no grounds to reverse her January ruling “based on evidence they created after trial.” On Monday night, Tesla posted on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, that the company will appeal. The appeal would be filed with the Delaware Supreme Court, the only state appellate court Tesla can pursue. Experts say a ruling would likely come in less than a year. “The ruling, if not overturned, means that judges and plaintiffs’ lawyers run Delaware companies rather than their rightful owners — the shareholders,” Tesla argued. Later, on X, Musk unleashed a blistering attack on the judge, asserting that McCormick is “a radical far left activist cosplaying as a judge.” Legal authorities generally suggest that McCormick’s ruling was sound and followed the law. Charles Elson, founding director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, said that in his view, McCormick was right to rule that after Tesla lost its case in the original trial, it created improper new evidence by asking shareholders to ratify the pay package a second time. Had she allowed such a claim, he said, it would cause a major shift in Delaware’s laws against conflicts of interest given the unusually close relationship between Musk and Tesla’s board. “Delaware protects investors — that’s what she did,” said Elson, who has followed the court for more than three decades. “Just because you’re a ‘superstar CEO’ doesn’t put you in a separate category.” Elson said he thinks investors would be reluctant to put money into Delaware companies if there were exceptions to the law for “special people.” Elson said that in his opinion, the court is likely to uphold McCormick’s ruling. Experts say no. Rulings on state laws are normally left to state courts. Brian Dunn, program director for the Institute of Compensation Studies at Cornell University, said it’s been his experience that Tesla has no choice but to stay in the Delaware courts for this compensation package. The company could try to reconstitute the pay package and seek approval in Texas, where it may expect more friendlier judges. But Dunn, who has spent 40 years as an executive compensation consultant, said it’s likely that some other shareholder would challenge the award in Texas because it’s excessive compared with other CEOs’ pay plans. “If they just want to turn around and deliver him $56 billion, I can’t believe somebody wouldn’t want to litigate it,” Dunn said. “It’s an unconscionable amount of money.” Almost certainly. Tesla stock is trading at 15 times the exercise price of stock options in the current package in Delaware, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote in a note to investors. Tesla’s share price has doubled in the past six months, Jonas wrote. At Monday’s closing stock price, the Musk package is now worth $101.4 billion, according to Equilar, an executive data firm. And Musk has asked for a subsequent pay package that would give him 25% of Tesla’s voting shares. Musk has said he is uncomfortable moving further into artificial intelligence with the company if he doesn’t have 25% control. He currently holds about 13% of Tesla’s outstanding shares.US senator says mysterious drones spotted in New Jersey should be 'shot down, if necessary'

French President Emmanuel Macron says he will NOT resign as crisis engulfs his Government after extremist parties were accused of playing 'Russian roulette' with the country's future By PETER ALLEN IN PARIS and ED HOLT Published: 20:42 GMT, 3 December 2024 | Updated: 21:38 GMT, 3 December 2024 e-mail 10 View comments French president Emmanuel Macron has tonight said he will not resign over the crisis currently engulfing his government. Macron's comments come ahead of tomorrow's no-confidence vote in his prime minister - Michel Barnier - which he is unlikely to survive. If it passes this will mark the third prime minister Macron has lost this year. However, the president has defiantly claimed he will not leave office until his term ends in 2027. Speaking during a visit to Saudi Arabia today Macron said: 'My priority is stability.' Referring to his two presidential election victories in 2017 and 2022, Macron said: 'It so happens that if I am here before you, it is because I was elected twice by the French people. 'I am extremely proud of it and I will honour this trust with all the energy that is mine until the last second, so as to be useful to the country.' Macron also said 'we must not scare people' by evoking a risk of financial crisis because of government collapse. 'We have a strong economy', he said.

The right-wing populist National Rally (RN) has pledged to support far-Left MPs from the New Popular Front coalition in the no-confidence motions, meaning Barnier has little chance of survival after just three months in office. Concerns have been raised that political turmoil in France could turn into economic turmoil for the rest of European Union. Following years of extravagant spending, France's deficit now stands at over six per cent of the entire economy which is twice as much as the limit imposed by the EU. Barnier, who has prioritised sorting the country's disastrous finances, and the French Parliament have been at loggerheads for weeks as he attempted to pass his proposed budget that includes 60 billion euros in tax hikes and spending cuts. Investor are concerned that if the government does fall any effort to cut borrowing will be jettisoned and without a credible alternative plan from the opposition parties there is a risk of an economic crisis. And with echoes of the economic crisis that started in Greece in 2008, which had a budget deficit that reached a dizzyingly high 15 percent, many economists are concerned about it spreading to other Eurozone countries. 'We are in a critical moment for France,' Mr Retailleau told TF1. 'We risk chaos, we risk a financial crisis' similar to the 'public debt crisis in Greece in 2008'. Mr Retailleau continued: 'It is not those who are rich who are the first to be impacted, it is the most modest, the most fragile. Macron with Barnier during commemorations for Armistice Day.

Let's wake up and prevent what seems inevitable – chaos.' Mr Retailleau was particularly critical of Marine Le Pen, of the RN, saying she was 'totally irresponsible – irresponsible because she is going to mix her votes and those of her deputies with those of the far-Left.'

Barnier, the former EU Brexit negotiator, is Macron's fifth prime minister in seven years. Aged 73, and without a seat in parliament, he will become the first serving PM to be ousted by parliament since 1962, if the no-confidence vote goes against him.

(CNN) — As protests broke out across American cities in June 2020, Pete Hegseth, co-host of the weekend “Fox & Friends” show, joined an on-air panel to discuss the situation in Seattle, where protestors had created a self-declared autonomous zone around a few blocks near downtown. Hegseth, speaking remotely from his home, suggested the only way to save the city was to send in the military. “The question is, do you send in the troops? Do you say, ‘Hey, this isn’t going to happen anymore’? Or do you let Seattle, sort of, implode on itself?” said Hegseth, comparing it to teaching a wayward child a lesson. “It’s the idea of you caught your kid with cigarettes underage. Do you take them away right away or do you force them to smoke every cigarette in front of you in the entire pack to learn the lesson of what’s not going to work?” As President-elect Donald Trump ’s pick to lead the US military as secretary of defense, Hegseth would be in position to execute that kind of order should it come from the White House. During his first term in office, Trump never went so far as to order active-duty troops to put down riots in American cities. The closest he came was in the summer of 2020, when he ordered the DC National Guard to assist local law enforcement in responding to riots and looting in the city. He also asked governors to send in their state guard units to DC. Among those who deployed to the nation’s capital that summer was Hegseth. “If the National Guard had not been called up, I can’t help but think where Washington, DC, would be right now,” Hegseth said on Fox News in 2020. Hegseth also applauded a controversial New York Times op-ed written that summer by Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, who called for the military to break up nationwide riots around the country. While Hegseth called the policy a “ very mainstream idea ,” some Pentagon officials expressed concern about using the military to “dominate” protesters and worried about using military force against civilians. Polls at the time indicated Americans were evenly split on the idea of using the military to quell riots and protests that summer. Hegseth’s position on using the military to put down domestic riots is among a number of controversial policies he has supported in the past, including speaking in favor of enhanced interrogation methods such as waterboarding, pardoning US soldiers convicted of war crimes, targeting cultural institutions in drone strikes, and banning women from combat roles . CNN’s KFile reviewed hundreds of Hegseth’s radio and TV appearances from 2008 through 2024, many of which occurred while he was a Fox News contributor and host. After initially criticizing Trump’s lack of national security experience during the 2016 presidential primaries, Hegseth became one of Trump’s most ardent supporters after he won the election that year. On military matters in particular, Hegseth has often praised Trump’s decisions and sometimes encouraged him to go further. Hegseth’s selection has been clouded by a number of factors, including his decision in 2020 to pay an undisclosed amount in a settlement to a woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her in 2017. Hegseth strongly denies her allegations . A New Yorker article published Sunday alleged Hegseth was pushed out as the head of two veterans’ advocacy organizations amid internal allegations of financial mismanagement and personal misconduct. Hegseth’s lack of experience has also raised concerns about his ability to manage a large organization like the Pentagon with its nearly $1 trillion annual budget. But his views on certain aspects of military policy, albeit expressed from the confines of his job as a cable news co-host, strike some experts as outside the mainstream, not in keeping with classic military doctrine, and all but impossible to implement. “If he came into the secretary of defense job trying to institute all these policies, boom, boom, boom, the place would stop functioning and he would find himself an irrelevant secretary of defense,” said retired Army Maj. Gen. James “Spider” Marks, a CNN military analyst. In a statement to CNN, a spokesperson for the Trump-Vance transition touted Hegseth’s record of military service and defended his past comments as a Fox News host. “Pete has shared points of view in the past as a private citizen and media personality, but as nominee for Secretary of Defense, he’s committed to upholding the Constitution and President Trump’s Make America Strong Again agenda,” the statement read. A Princeton and Harvard graduate, Hegseth, 44, joined the Army National Guard in 2002 and served for nearly 20 years before retiring as a major. He deployed to Guantanamo Bay, where he served as an infantry platoon leader, and later served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was awarded two Bronze Stars, among other awards, for his service. He frequently appeared on Fox News while working at veterans-related nonprofits and later became the weekend co-host of “Fox & Friends” in 2017. During the 2016 presidential election, Hegseth initially supported Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. He harshly criticized Trump’s grasp of national security issues and for saying that he got his military advice from people like himself on Fox News. “You wouldn’t want a top-tier presidential candidate getting all of their military advice from watching ‘Meet the Press.’ There’s a lot more nuance. There’s a lot more detail,” Hegseth said i n August 2015. “Foreign policy, national security is not about TV shows. [The campaign is] going to have to walk back a little bit from this idea that he gets it from the political shows.” Before Trump secured the 2016 Republican nomination, Hegseth also attacked him for his five draft deferments during the Vietnam War, calling him an “armchair tough guy.” “[Trump is] all bluster, very little substance. He talks a tough game. But then when pressed he’s an armchair tough guy,” Hegseth said on Fox News in March 2016, noting that Trump sought his “own five military deferments.” In October 2015 , Hegseth further attacked Trump for flip-flopping his position on the war in Afghanistan – first saying he never supported the war and calling it a mistake before reversing that position – and condemned Trump’s stance on the Iraq War and the veterans who fought in it. Hegseth on numerous occasions was critical of Trump’s stances on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which the president-elect has shifted multiple times over the years. However, Hegseth has since embraced Trump’s skepticism of those two wars and his “America First” ethos. “If you step back for a moment and look at what was our return on investment, you start to realize, I can eat – I need to eat some humble pie. Put America first and realize that our orientation in the Middle East is ultimately not making us safer right now,” Hegseth said in September 2020. In 2019, CNN reported that Hegseth was privately courting Trump to pardon some servicemen accused and convicted of war crimes. Against the advice of his Pentagon officials , who worried the pardons would undermine the military justice system, Trump pardoned two service members and restored the rank of a Navy SEAL who had been demoted. Hegseth reiterated his support for not criminalizing soldiers on a podcast in June 2024. “Donald Trump pardoned a bunch of guys I advocated for in his last couple years in office. They killed the right guys in the wrong way, according to somebody. I’m done with that,” Hegseth said. “We need to fight total war against our enemies when we do. And yeah, you don’t kill civilians on purpose, but you kill bad guys. All of ’em, you stack bodies, and when it’s over, then you let the dust settle and you figure out who’s ahead.” Hegseth also pushed Trump to take further action against Iran after the president ordered a drone strike in January 2020 that killed Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani. In a Fox News segment, Hegseth suggested Trump should take further action by targeting cultural sites that may harbor dangerous weapons – a violation of both international law and the Department of Defense’s policy . “If we want to defeat them, we have to think smart about how we navigate within these rules, without playing a game rigged to help them,” he said in January 2020 . “I don’t want to hit cultural sites on purpose. If you are using one to harbor your most dangerous weapons, that should be on the list.” Like Trump , Hegseth has also praised waterboarding as an “effective” tactic. He said it was “absolutely a mistake” to take waterboarding off the table in 2016 and said the president had the power to bring it back. “If it’s gonna keep us safe, all it would take is an executive order by the next president to change that law,” Hegseth said in 2016. Congress codified a ban on waterboarding in 2015. CNN’s Winter Hawk and Ileya Robinson-Williams contributed to this report. The-CNN-Wire TM & © 2024 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

A 76-year-old man police later identified as Walter J Blucas, of Erie, was hospitalised in critical condition. Responders detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property and township police said on Saturday that investigators determined that “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak”. Two medics were taken to a hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer was treated at the scene. As a model, Haddon appeared on the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Esquire in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the 1973 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She also appeared in about two dozen films from the 1970s to 1990s, according to IMDb, including 1994’s Bullets Over Broadway, starring John Cusack. Haddon left modelling after giving birth to her daughter, Ryan, in the mid-1970s, but then had to re-enter the workforce after her husband’s 1991 death. This time, she found the modelling industry far less friendly: “They said to me, ‘At 38, you’re not viable,'” Haddon told The New York Times in 2003. Working a menial job at an advertising agency, Haddon began reaching out to cosmetic companies, telling them there was a growing market to sell beauty products to aging baby boomers. She eventually landed a contract with Clairol, followed by Estee Lauder and then L’Oreal, for which she promoted the company’s anti-aging products for more than a decade. She also hosted beauty segments for CBS’s The Early Show. “I kept modelling, but in a different way,” she told The Times, “I became a spokesperson for my age.” In 2008, Haddon founded WomenOne, an organisation aimed at advancing educational opportunities for girls and women in marginalised communities, including Rwanda, Haiti and Jordan. Haddon was born in Toronto and began modelling as a teenager to pay for ballet classes – she began her career with the Canadian ballet company, Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, according to her website. Haddon’s daughter, Ryan, said in a social media post that her mother was “everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many”. “A pure heart. A rich inner life. Touching so many lives. A life well lived. Rest in Light, Mom,” she said.
