South Korea's lawmakers on Friday voted to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo, in the second head-of-state ousting this month after a short-lived martial decree on Dec. 3, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap . Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok is next in line to take on the mantle of the acting presidency, according to South Korean law. Han's predecessor, President Yoon Suk Yeol, was impeached a mere two weeks prior , after imposing martial law for six hours at the start of the month for the first time since the military coup of 1979, citing the need to "protect the constitutional order based on freedom and eradicate shameful pro-North Korea anti-state groups, that are stealing freedom and happiness of our people," according to NBC News . Opposition lawmakers brought the motion against Han on Thursday over the acting president's reluctance to immediately appoint three justices in the Constitutional Court, which is preparing to kick off deliberations on upholding Yoon's impeachment or reinstating him. Han's ruling Power People Party has argued that filling the Constitutional Court vacancies exceeds Han's mandate as acting president. The Constitutional Court held a first hearing on Yoon's case on Friday and has 180 days to reach its conclusion. A simple 151 majority, rather than two-thirds of parliamentary support, was required to pass the Friday vote. The assembly approved Han's impeachment motion with 192-0 in favor, while governing party lawmakers boycotted the poll, according to a Google-translated Yonhap update . The agency reports that acting Han has said he will respect the Friday decision. Han's own impeachment plunges South Korea into renewed political turbulence, shaking the foundations of its democratic success story and driving the Korean won down 0.40% to 1,472.22 after the Friday news. South Korea's Kospi slid 1.02% during the Friday session . Earlier on Friday, the Finance Ministry's Choi warned of the economic and security impact of Han's impeachment vote on Asia's fourth-largest economy. "In a time of global trade wars and national emergencies, the absence of a control tower for state affairs would cause severe damage to our country's credibility, economy, national security and governance continuity," Choi said, according to Yonhap . The International Monetary Fund projects 2.5% growth in South Korea's gross domestic product for 2024, and also a 2.5% inflation print over the period.Preview: Portsmouth vs. Millwall - prediction, team news, lineupsBut it's not just his technical abilities that set Sandro apart - it's also his mental approach to the game. In a sport where teamwork and selflessness are often lauded, Sandro's willingness to be selfish in front of goal sets him apart from his peers. "Sometimes you have to be selfish to succeed. If I have a chance to score, I'm not going to pass it up just to make someone else look good. At the end of the day, it's about winning games and achieving your goals," Sandro declared.
Harris Rosen, who built Florida’s largest independent hotel chain and was one of Orlando’s preeminent philanthropists, died Monday, his business partner announced. He was 85. Rosen, the Orlando Sentinel’s Central Floridian of the Year in 2011, opened his first hotel in 1974, purchasing a 256-room Quality Inn on International Drive, and has since grown his empire to seven properties and more than 6,300 rooms. “Harris was an angel to so many here on earth, and now he takes his place among the angels in heaven,” said Frank Santos, vice president of Rosen Hotels & Resorts. “A beloved father, grandfather, and a pillar of our community, his boundless generosity and love touched countless lives through his unwavering commitment to helping underserved communities, promoting education, advancing the fight against cancer, and supporting health and wellness initiatives.” Rosen’s philanthropy reaches far and wide in Orlando – with multimillion-dollar investments to send children from underserved neighborhoods to preschool and college, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings noted in a statement. “His commitment to our community went beyond his work as a hotelier,” he said. “Through the Rosen Foundation, Harris invested millions into local schools, healthcare, and vital programs for underprivileged families, uplifting countless people in the process. Most notably, his education philanthropy in the Tangelo Park and Parramore Communities is unparalleled.” In 1993, Rosen adopted Tangelo Park, a working class neighborhood in unincorporated Orange County near the I-Drive corridor, paying for preschool for all of the neighborhood’s children and providing scholarships covering the full cost of college or vocational school for all of its graduating high school seniors. According to his company biography, more than 250 Tangelo Park students have received full scholarships to college through the program. In 2016, he expanded his efforts to Parramore in Downtown Orlando, where more than 40 students have received scholarships. Though his college scholarship effort may have been more widely publicized, he spent twice as much funding preschool – so much so that in 2019, if Rosen had been his own state, he’d rank 10th in Pre-K funding per student, Orlando Sentinel columnist Scott Maxwell wrote in a column that year . “One thing I quickly learned is that there is as much intellectual talent in the underserved communities as there is in gated communities,” Rosen said then. “And this investment pays off.” Orange County Commissioner Mike Scott, who grew up in Tangelo Park and whose commission district includes the neighborhood, described the hotelier as “someone to stand with you and beside you and put a hand on your shoulder and say, ‘Hey, I got you. I’ll help you. It’ll be OK.” “You know, many folks would have probably not been able to go to college or even have a job in some instances, if it wasn’t for him. People say it was philanthropy, but I feel like it was just his love, his concern and care for the community,” he said. Rosen is also the namesake of the University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management. In 2002, he donated 20 acres near his Rosen Shingle Creek hotel, along with $10 million to start the campus. But there was much more that distinguished him. Employees of his hotels — all of which are located in greater Orlando — receive health care at an on-site clinic, which he’s said has saved his companies about $20 million annually. Employees pay $800 annual premiums with no deductibles. For years, Floridians fleeing hurricanes from coastal areas have found low-cost “disaster rates” and pet-friendly rooms as low as $69 per night at Rosen properties. When Hurricane Milton was bearing down on the Gulf Coast, about 1,000 families took shelter in the hotels, a spokeswoman said at the time. Rosen also wielded and flexed great political might, as a fierce proponent of spending Tourist Development Taxes primarily to bolster tourism interests. He battled then-Orlando Mayor Glenda Hood and Orange County Chairman Linda Chapin over a plan to use TDT funds to build a baseball stadium, lobbied against a $325 million light-rail project and opposed an effort to use the tax to help fund construction of what is now the Kia Center. Critics charged those political positions were taken with an eye on his company’s bottom line. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said Rosen’s impact will live on. “Harris Rosen played a big role in helping our region become the nation’s top destination for visitors. But his impact extends far beyond his hotel properties,” Dyer said in a statement. “Harris was truly committed to our community and uplifting residents and neighborhoods. His generosity was incredibly impactful and shaped a stronger Central Florida for all.” rygillespie@orlandosentinel.com

Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the Irish capital. The jury delivered its verdict on Friday. The total amount of damages awarded to Hand by the jury was 248,603.60 euros (£206,714.31). Mr McGregor made no comment as he left court but later posted on social media that he intends to appeal. The Irish athlete has featured in multiple video games, including voice-acting a character bearing his likeness in additional downloadable content in the Hitman series. Mr McGregor’s character featured as a target for the player-controlled assassin in the game. In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately.

The Irish sports star previously told the court he had consensual sex with Ms Hand in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel. Ms Hand was taken in an ambulance to the Rotunda Hospital the following day where she was assessed in the sexual assault treatment unit. A paramedic who examined Ms Hand the day after the assault had told the court she had not seen “someone so bruised” in a long time.At the heart of Ricoh's sustainability efforts is its commitment to the principles of the "Ricoh Way," the company's corporate philosophy based on the concept of "love your neighbor, love your country, love your work."

Super Micro extends last week's gain, wounding short sellersMikel Arteta urges his Arsenal players to be 'ruthless' against Sporting Lisbon as they seek first Champions League away win in over a year Mikel Arteta's side have struggled for goals in the Champions League this season They face a Sporting Lisbon team who have not lost in all competitions so far Liverpool correspondent LEWIS STEELE tells all on bombshell chat with Mo Salah - LISTEN NOW to It's All Kicking Off! New episodes every Monday and Thursday By ISAAN KHAN Published: 22:31 GMT, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 22:31 GMT, 25 November 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Mikel Arteta has demanded Arsenal be more ‘ruthless’ in Europe as they seek to improve their away performances. The Gunners, who face Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, bounced back from a three-match winless streak to beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 on Saturday in the Premier League . But their away form in the Champions League is a concern. The north London club lost 1-0 at Inter Milan earlier this month having drawn 0-0 in Italy with Atalanta in September. Arsenal’s last European away win came over a year ago on October 24, 2023 against Sevilla. Facing a Sporting team who are unbeaten in their domestic league and Europe this season , the Gunners have a tough test ahead. Arsenal boss Arteta said: ‘It’s certainly something we have to improve (away form). I think we have made the right steps. But the reality is that you have to make it happen and we didn’t. Making those steps is what we have to do next. Be ruthless, be efficient in the opposition box and do what we have to do to take the three points away from here.’ Arteta knows his team’s finishing needs to improve — and fast. ‘The efficiency that we have shown inside the box with the chances that we are normally able to generate in the Champions League is not at the level required to win consistently,’ the Spaniard said. ‘I always say the Champions League is about boxes, small margins and details. You have to get all of those right to win, especially away from home.’ Arsenal’s last European away win came over a year ago on October 24, 2023 against Sevilla The Gunners lie 12th-place in this year's 36-team Champions League table, one point behind Aston Villa in eighth, who occupy the final automatic qualification spot to the Round of 16 Mikel Arteta's side have only managed to score three Champions League goals this season One player Arteta will be wary of is Viktor Gyokeres who has struck 59 goals in 55 games for club and country in this calendar year, including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. It has left the striker in line for a move to a big Premier League club but all the questions on Gyokeres were batted away by Arteta, who refused to be drawn on if he would want to sign the Swede. In the absence of injured defenders Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney has returned to Arsenal’s squad for the first since playing in the 2023 Community Shield win over Manchester City. The full back has been in full training since last week, following his return to fitness after a hamstring injury.

The escalation of the charges against Manchester City has cast a shadow over the club's reputation and performance on the field. The uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the investigation has added a layer of complexity to the club's already tumultuous season. The ongoing legal battle has diverted attention from the team's achievements and has fueled speculation about the future of the club in the Premier League.Joe Biden begins final White House holiday season with turkey pardons for 'Peach' and 'Blossom' WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has kicked off his final holiday season at the White House, issuing the traditional reprieve to two turkeys who will bypass the Thanksgiving table to live out their days in Minnesota. The president welcomed 2,500 guests under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom.” He also sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency. Separately, first lady Jill Biden received the delivery of the official White House Christmas tree. And the Bidens are traveling to New York later Monday for an early holiday celebration with members of the Coast Guard. Bah, humbug! Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by announcing plans Monday to hand more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pop star Ed Sheeran apologizes to Man United boss Ruben Amorim for crashing interview MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British pop star Ed Sheeran has apologized to Ruben Amorim after inadvertently interrupting the new Manchester United head coach during a live television interview. Amorim was talking on Sky Sports after United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday when Sheeran walked up to embrace analyst Jamie Redknapp. The interview was paused before Redknapp told the pop star to “come and say hello in a minute.” Sheeran is a lifelong Ipswich fan and holds a minority stake in the club. He was pictured celebrating after Omari Hutchinson’s equalizing goal in the game at Portman Road. A desert oasis outside of Dubai draws a new caravan: A family of rodents from Argentina AL QUDRA LAKES, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A desert oasis hidden away in the dunes in the far reaches of skyscraper-studded Dubai has drawn a surprising new set of weary world travelers: a pack of Argentinian rodents. A number of Patagonian mara, a rabbit-like mammal with long legs, big ears and a body like a hoofed animal, now roam the grounds of Al Qudra Lakes, typically home to gazelle and other desert creatures of the United Arab Emirates. How they got there remains a mystery in the UAE, a country where exotic animals have ended up in the private homes and farms of the wealthy. But the pack appears to be thriving there and likely have survived several years already in a network of warrens among the dunes. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a pilot and at least one dog he was transporting died when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, though a puppy on the flight was found alive with two broken legs. The Greene County sheriff’s office says Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia, was flying from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in a remote area. Officials believe the pilot died from the impact. The surviving dog was hospitalized, while a third dog was not located. The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. New Zealanders save more than 30 stranded whales by lifting them on sheets WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — More than 30 pilot whales that stranded themselves on a beach in New Zealand have been safely returned to the ocean after conservation workers and residents helped to refloat them by lifting them on sheets. New Zealand’s conservation agency said four whales died. New Zealand is a whale stranding hotspot and pilot whales are especially prolific stranders. The agency praised as “incredible” the efforts made by hundreds of people to help save the foundering pod. A Māori cultural ceremony for the three adult whales and one calf that died in the stranding took place Monday. Rainbow-clad revelers hit Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s pride parade RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Thousands of revelers have gathered alongside Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s annual gay pride parade, many scantily dressed and covered in glitter. Rainbow-colored flags, towels and fans abounded among the crowd mostly made up of young revelers, who danced and sang along to music blaring from speakers. While the atmosphere was festive, some spoke of the threat of violence LGBTQ+ people face in Brazil. At least 230 LGBTQ+ Brazilians were victims of violent deaths in 2023, according to the umbrella watchdog group Observatory of LGBTQ+ deaths and violence in Brazil.
