Lawmakers are concerned about background checks of Trump's Cabinet picks as red flags surfaceNORTH CHARLESTON , S.C. -- Pee Dee Academy's football team won its second 11-man SCISA state championship in three years after Saturday's 52-14 win over Bethesda Day on Charleston Southern University's Buccaneer Field. The Golden Eagles had won two previous state crowns in 8-man play. On Saturday, no matter how many were on the field -- and no matter what class the Golden Eagles (12-0) were in (this year, they are in 2A after winning the 3A crown in 2022) -- coach Jonathan King's program proved why it's one of SCISA's top teams overall. PDA's Tristan Heckman rushed for four touchdowns Saturday and caught a Colby Richardson pass for another, and the Golden Eagles were hitting their stride. It was a season-long stride they never really broke from. King's team proved it could strike in whatever fashion defenses allow. For all the acclaim about PDA's threat through the air with Richardson and receiver Miles Trussell, Heckman -- the team's leading tackler entering Saturday's game -- could deliver that same intensity on the ground. And just to give one more exclamation point on this year's state title, Keeton Cribbs deflected a pass that was caught by teammate Bennett Causey. And all Causey did after that was race into the end zone himself for yet another touchdown. Wasn't that intense? Intensity was the Golden Eagles' calling card after its struggles in 2023. But those past struggles are an afterthought. Saturday's performance by Pee Dee Academy will give Golden Eagle fans great memories for quite some time.

A FLIGHT attendant has revealed the real rules on empty middle seats - including who gets to use the tray table. A spare middle seat is any flyer's dream, not just because of the extra elbow space - but also legroom, under-seat storage, on-seat storage, additional tray, and spare seat pocket. Passengers can often come to blows over this prime real estate - with flight attendants forced to step in. And while the unclaimed middle seat may seem like a free-for-all, John, who works for Delta Air Lines, said this was far from the case. Speaking to Travel and Leisure, he first dispelled the idea that flight attendants adhere to a "first come, first served" logic when it comes to allocating the space. Instead, he said cabin crew are more likely to consider safety factors, like what each person is proposing to place on the seat. For example, while it's reasonable to place light items like an unused blanket or pillow on the middle seat, bulky items like bags are not allowed. John said: "Sometimes, people will place a heavy backpack on the seat and put a seatbelt on it — that doesn’t work either. "If you hit turbulence, that bag will fly in the air and potentially hit somebody." Given it's a shared space, John also advised passengers to avoid leaning too much into the middle seat, adding: "I wouldn't move into it physically in any significant way." While it allows for the luxury of a little extra leg and elbow room, encroaching any further could end in an argument. Overall, communication and a sense of humility is essential when it comes to avoiding on-board confrontation, John added. This means, for example, simply asking politely if you can use the under-seat space or put a light item on the seat. When it comes to the middle seat's tray, John similarly advised coming to a verbal agreement about what would be mutually beneficial - rather than assuming your neighbour doesn't mind what you are doing. The handy tips come after a former flight attendant revealed the crucial travel accessories she never flies without - including a neck pillow, charger and snacks. And, another travel expert revealed why Coca-Cola doesn't taste as nice on a plane - whereas ginger ale is even nicer than usual. Writing for Popsci, Amanda Reed explained that while sweet flavours are dulled in the low-pressure, dry atmosphere of a cabin, sour and umami flavours are enhanced. A flight attendant has revealed the worst passengers to deal with on flights, here's what she said: Drunk passengers "People who make the most of the booze on board are really irritating. We have a lot to think about on our flights as it is, without looking after people who have drunk themselves into a stupor. "My advice for passengers is to enjoy the included booze, in moderation. "If there's an emergency and you're hammered, you're going to be no use to anybody, least of all yourself. So it's best to stay alert." Vapers "Vaping on board is becoming more popular and it's ridiculous that people think they can get away with it. "The big plume of fruity smoke is always a bit of a giveaway. "But it can also cause panic in the rest of the cabin as well - imagine seeing a big smokey cloud in a plane? It's definitely not something you're expecting, so will definitely leave people feeling a little frightened." Listening to music without headphones "There's few things worse than tinny phone music blaring out through the plane cabin, or an episode of Breaking Bad being broadcast from one passenger to the people around them. "The thing I always tell people to remember is that there are other people on board the plane and they aren't all travelling for the same reason. "So keep your music and TV to yourself and just think long and hard about whether the other people on board want to listen to your awful dance music."Trump's threat to impose tariffs could raise prices for consumers, colliding with promise for relief

Niger's ruling junta has suspended the BBC from broadcasting for three months, accusing the outlet of disseminating false information that could destabilize the region. The accusation comes after the BBC reported an extremist attack in which dozens were allegedly killed, a claim the government denies. Authorities argue that such reporting undermines troop morale and social calm. This suspension is the latest in a series of media restrictions imposed by Niger and its neighboring countries amid ongoing security challenges and tension in the Sahel, with juntas increasingly expelling Western media and turning to alternative security alliances.

Ukraine Says 'Mysterious' Fire Burns Russian Drone WarehouseAs somebody who deals with asthma and allergies on a daily basis, breathing clean air at home is a must. Even without these ailments, breathing purified air improves your health, deepens your sleep, and reduces how often you get sick. I test products for a living, and from the four air purifiers I've tested for H&G , there's only one I keep in my own bedroom: the Molekule Air Mini+. It's an advanced purifier that has immeasurably improved my wellbeing at home. I now barely use my asthma inhaler and, in the summer, I don't have to worry about hayfever when I'm indoors – even with the windows open. It's certainly one of the world's best air purifiers and usually, the price reflects this. But it's now at its lowest price ever in Molekule's Black Friday sale with a generous $150 discount, and it likely won't be this affordable for a long time. Molekule Air Mini+ | was $359.99 , now $209.99 at Molekule (save $150) Premium purifier brand Molekule have discounted their top-of-the-line air purifiers for Black Friday, with $150 off the Air Mini+. It's able to destroy harmful pollutants at the molecular level, setting it apart from others as one of the only purifiers to be FDA-approved as a Class II medical device. Here’s what I think makes the Molekule Air Mini+ worth your money this Black Friday if you’re looking for an appliance that will give you cleaner, healthier air at home. In my review for the Molekule Air Mini+ , one of the most incredible and unique features I discovered was Molekule's patented PECO filtration. Standard air purifiers will typically have a tight mesh filter (like a HEPA filter ) to capture particles, and an activated carbon filter to deal with gases and odors. But Molekule's Air Mini+ and the bigger, more expensive Molekule Air Pro utilize a third layer of filtration, known as PECO tech, that actively destroys pollutants at the molecular level. So rather than just filtering out these harmful particles from your air, it deactivates the contaminants, making everything even safer when re-released back into your indoor space. From my four months of using the Molekule Air Mini+, and testing three other purifiers alongside it, I can confirm that its effects are among the best. At its lowest setting it can run quietly in the background, often going unnoticed when I'm working or sleeping in the room. At its highest settings, it can rapidly remove smoke , viruses and other pollutants from the air, and you can see just how quickly it does the job on the Molekule app with detailed air quality data over time. The Molekule app displaying air quality over time Before being available to consumers, Molekule had great success developing air purification systems for commercial spaces like hospitals. The Molekule Air Mini+ and the Molekule Air Pro are two of the only air purifiers that are FDA-approved as Class II medical devices thanks to their unique ability to destroy harmful matter. This tech, naturally, comes at a price, as the Molekule Air Mini+ is usually priced at $360. Now that the price is down to just $209.99 for Black Friday, its lowest of all time, you can bring this market-leading air purifying technology into your home for a fraction of the usual cost. Trust me, you won't get a better air purifier at that price. If you're looking for more coverage (the Air Mini+ covers 250 square feet), the Air Pro can cover up to 1,000 square feet. It's also on offer for Black Friday with a whopping $420 discount.

Pakistan congratulated Belarus on its full membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), with Belarus noting Pakistan’s early support for its accession. PM Shehbaz appreciated the active participation of his Belarusian counterpart in the SCO Council of Heads of Governments meeting, hosted by Pakistan in October 2024. The two sides agreed to work closely within this important forum to further strengthen their cooperation. Recognising Belarus' advanced agricultural manufacturing capabilities and the needs of Pakistan’s agriculture-based economy, the two sides agreed to promote the establishment of joint ventures in the agriculture and industrial sectors, including for the production of high-tech and large-scale agricultural machinery. Both sides also agreed to collaborate in sales, manufacturing and servicing of vehicles, including through partnerships between private and public organisations of both countries. This initiative aimed to leverage the strengths of both countries in automotive manufacturing and technology, boosting industrial growth and innovation. Both sides also agreed to cooperate in expanding the network of sales and services of Belarusian agricultural machinery in various Pakistani cities, including through partnerships with Pakistani private and public organisations. Additionally, they considered initiating educational programs in the sphere of agricultural machine manufacturing. During the visit, the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) and the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), in collaboration with the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BelCCI), organised a Belarus-Pakistan Business Forum. The event saw participation from over thirty Belarusian companies and nearly 100 Pakistani counterparts from various sectors, fostering valuable interactions and potential business opportunities. The two leaders expressed their satisfaction at the successful organisation of the forum. They also agreed to encourage both government and private sectors to collaborate and organise series of seminars on “Doing Business with Each Other” aiming to reduce trade barriers and facilitate market access. To enhance trade linkages, both sides welcomed the signing of a MoU between the National Logistics Corporation (NLC) and Beltamozh service and agreed to encourage other stakeholders, including logistics companies, to develop optimal maritime and land routes for efficiently delivering goods to each other’s markets. This initiative aims to streamline transportation, reduce costs, and improve the overall efficiency of trade between the two countries. Recognising the immense potential for expanding collaboration in science and technology, and noting the progress made over the past decade, both sides agreed to establish stronger ties between their scientific communities. The two sides plan to focus on joint scientific and technical projects under the umbrella of the Joint Commission on Science and Technology. During the visit, two agreements in this domain were signed to formalise and promote this enhanced collaboration. Both sides emphasised the importance of enhancing bilateral trade in pharmaceutical products, medical devices, health-related items, and over-the-counter products. Both parties agreed to develop strategies aimed at improving trade facilitation by identifying and addressing trade barriers, particularly regulatory challenges, to streamline market access. Additionally, the sides committed to exploring and implementing policies that enhance mutual market access for these sectors, ensuring compliance with national regulations, while promoting growth and cooperation, the joint statement said. The two sides underscored the importance of strengthening cooperation in the field of education and culture, including the promotion of cultural exchange programmes and boosting people-to-people contacts through art, music, literature, and other cultural activities. Both countries also committed themselves to enhancing academic collaboration, facilitating student exchanges, and supporting joint research projects between universities in the two countries. During the visit, the two sides signed 15 important agreements and MoUs, including the “Roadmap for Comprehensive Cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Republic of Belarus for the period 2025-2027.” This roadmap focused on enhancing bilateral economic cooperation through various initiatives, such as high-level meetings, timely meetings of inter-governmental commissions, and promoting collaboration in key sectors of mutual interest. “These arrangements are expected to open new prospects for the continued development of bilateral relations, based on the principles of mutually beneficial friendship,” it was added. The two sides also discussed important regional and international issues. The Pakistani side briefed the Belarusian side on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Both sides underlined the need for the resolution of all international disputes through peaceful means and in accordance with the UN Charter and UN Security Council resolutions.
