Sunday's attacks in northern and central Israel came in response to deadly Israeli strikes in central Beirut on Saturday. Israel struck southern Beirut on Sunday. Meanwhile, negotiators press on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. And Lebanon's military says an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center in the southwest killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. Israel's military has expressed regret and said its operations are directed solely against the militants. Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel says the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found, citing Emirati authorities. The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday said Zvi Kogan was killed, calling it a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.” It said: “The state of Israel will act with all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death." Kogan went missing on Thursday, and there were suspicions he had been kidnapped. His disappearance comes as Iran has been threatening to retaliate against Israel after the two countries traded fire in October. Somalia says 24 people have died after 2 boats capsized in the Indian Ocean MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's government says 24 people died after two boats capsized off the Madagascar coast in the Indian Ocean. Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi said 46 people were rescued. Most of the passengers were young Somalis, and their intended destination remains unclear. Many young Somalis embark every year on dangerous journeys in search of better opportunities abroad. A delegation led by the Somali ambassador to Ethiopia is scheduled to travel to Madagascar on Monday to investigate the incident and coordinate efforts to help survivors. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. Moscow offers debt forgiveness to new recruits and AP sees wreckage of a new Russian missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine. The measure, whose final version appeared on a government website Saturday, underscores Russia’s needs for military personnel in the nearly 3-year-old war, even as it fired last week a new intermediate-range ballistic missile. Russia has ramped up military recruitment by offering increasing financial incentives to those willing to fight in Ukraine. Ukraine’s Security Service on Sunday showed The Associated Press wreckage of the new intermediate-range ballistic missile that struck a factory in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Sunday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast last week, killing two people. After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump's victory has dismayed many politically engaged Black women, and they're reassessing their enthusiasm for politics and organizing. Black women often carry much of the work of getting out the vote, and they had vigorously supported the historic candidacy of Kamala Harris. AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters, found that 6 in 10 Black women said the future of democracy was the single most important factor for their vote this year, a higher share than for other demographic groups. But now, some Black women are renewing calls to emphasize rest, focus on mental health and become more selective about what fight they lend their organizing power to. Pakistani police arrest thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of rally in the capital ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani security officer says police have arrested thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of a rally in Islamabad to demand the ex-premier’s release from prison. Khan has been behind bars for more than a year. But he remains popular and his party says the cases against him are politically motivated. Police Sunday arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters in eastern Punjab province, a Khan stronghold. They include five parliamentarians. Pakistan has sealed off the capital with shipping containers. It also suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns.” Uruguay's once-dull election has become a dead heat in the presidential runoff MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguayans are heading to the polls to choose their next president. In Sunday's election, the candidates of the conservative governing party and the left-leaning coalition are locked in a close runoff after failing to win an outright majority in last month’s vote. It's a hard-fought race between Álvaro Delgado, the incumbent party’s candidate, and Yamandú Orsi from the Broad Front, a coalition of leftist and center-left parties that governed for 15 years until the 2019 victory of center-right President Luis Lacalle Pou — overseeing the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage and the sale of marijuana in the small South American nation.COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) The Boone County Commission unanimously approved the 2025 budget on Thursday afternoon. Early drafts of the budget expected it to be $163 million, with nearly $54 million coming from the county’s general fund. Five key priorities shaped the budget, including: Improved workforce retention and reduced workforce turnover and vacancy; addressing priority staffing and space needs; providing new and replacing equipment, vehicles, technology, and capital infrastructure; public safety improvements and increased financial stability and transparency of how the county is using operating funds. According to county documents, Boone County has been experiencing “unprecedented employee turnover and lengthy vacancies” since 2020. These vacancies were having an impact law enforcement, detention 911 dispatching. Market analysis data done by the county found that Boone's average pay was below market value. Because of this, the county says salary increases were the top priority in the 2025 budget. Drafts of the budget included salary increases that will be handed out at “ the discretion of the Administrative Authorities, as well as, a retention incentive with the intent to combat workforce turnover. “ As a result, the budget includes a $1.9 million increase to fund these pay raises. Part of its public safety improvements includes the creation of a law enforcement training center, which would include a 24/7 daycare for workers' children. "Childcare is in high demand in Columbia/Boone County. We truly believe the addition of a childcare center for first responders will be a huge asset to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office. We believe it will greatly assist us with recruiting and retention of quality employees at the Boone County Sheriff’s Office," Sheriff's Office spokesman Brian Leer said in the statement. The State of Missouri has granted Boone County $4 million for the Regional Law Enforcement Training Center. In addition, the County received $2.5M in assistance from the State to construct the Public Safety Child Care Center. The county broke ground on the new center in Apri l. The county announced the addition of the training center last year . Northern District Commissioner Janet Thompson said that the addition of a childcare center for public safety personnel is important for recruitment and retainment. "One of the things that we've seen over time is it's really difficult to hire and then retain folks in public safety," Thompson said. "We are always are looking for top quality people, and it's just hard. Those are 24/7 kinds of offices and we really are looking for the best, and we're trying to keep them." Both the Regional Law Enforcement Training Center and Public Safety Child Care Center are expected to be completed by the end of 2025. The 2025 budget includes funding to address staffing and space needs in several offices across the county. This includes money to hire 10 full-time positions, three part-time position and removing three positions. About $13.7 million was allocated million to invest in new technology and equipment, which marks an 18% decrease from the 2024 fiscal year. An estimated $2.1 million will be spent from the general fund to cover the cost of computer hard drive replacement, implementing services for the county’s EMP management, and upgrading the Sheriff’s Record Management and Jail Management Systems. The budget also sets aside $445,000 for vehicle replacements and repairs. The Emergency Management Fund was allocated the most money in the proposed budget, at $9.25 million, which will be spent on various radio and software equipment, as well as two sandbag auto-filling machines. The capital repair and replacement fund includes $2.6 million, which will help cover the cost of a $700,000 new HVAC system for the courthouse and $1.5 million for a new fuel station for Road and Bridge.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Fresh off one of its best showings of the season, the Baltimore defense now has another problem to worry about. Roquan Smith missed practice again Friday because of a hamstring injury. Although the Ravens didn't officially rule him or anyone else out — they don't play until Monday night — the All-Pro linebacker's status seems dicey. “Definitely it will be a challenge if Roquan can’t go,” defensive coordinator Zach Orr said. “We’re holding out hope and everything like that. I think it’ll just be by committee. Not one person is going to replace Roquan. Roquan’s an every-down linebacker.” Although the Ravens lost 18-16 last weekend, Baltimore didn't allow a touchdown. That was an encouraging sign for a team that ranks 26th in the league in total defense. Baltimore is on the road Monday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Ravens appear to have dodged one potential nightmare. Star safety Kyle Hamilton injured an ankle against Cincinnati on Nov. 7, but he was able to play almost every defensive snap the following week against Pittsburgh. But Smith was injured in that game and didn't practice Thursday or Friday. Linebacker Malik Harrison had a season high in tackles last weekend and figures to have a significant role if Smith can't go. “We tell these guys, ‘You’re one play away to going in there — you never know, so you got to stay ready.’ Malik — he was ready,” Orr said. “I thought he went in there and did a good job, especially after the first series, he settled down. That’s what we expect from him.” It's hard to tell whether last week can be a significant turning point for Baltimore's defense. The Ravens allowed only 10 points in a dominant win over Buffalo in Week 4, then yielded 38 against Cincinnati the following game. After allowing 10 against Denver, the Ravens were picked apart by the Bengals again a few days later. So they still haven't shown they can play a good game defensively and then build on it. “I think it’s easier said than done. It’s something that we kind of got caught up saying against Buffalo and then coming up the next week and not doing," Hamilton said. "We’re aware of it now and know that we played a good game, but I think we can get a lot better, and I think that’s kind of the mindset everybody on defense has right now.” Hamilton's ability to make a difference all over the field is part of what makes him valuable, but positioning him deep is one way the Ravens can try to guard against big passing plays. Pittsburgh's Russell Wilson threw for only 205 yards against Baltimore. That's after Joe Burrow passed for 428 and four touchdowns in the Ravens' previous game. “I’ve always seen myself as a safety. A versatile one, but at the end of the day, I think I play safety,” Hamilton said. “If I’m asked to go play safety, I feel like that’s not an issue for me to play safety if I’m a safety.” NOTES: In addition to Smith, WR Rashod Bateman (knee), DT Travis Jones (ankle), S Sanoussi Kane (ankle) C Tyler Linderbaum (back) and CB Arthur Maulet (calf) missed practice Friday. WR Nelson Agholor (illness) returned to full participation after missing Thursday's practice. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Mattr Corp. Announces Closing of Debt Subscription Receipt OfferingDrake beats Florida Atlantic 75-63

President Emmanuel Macron is to name a new prime minister on Friday, aides said, after days of deadlock over finding a candidate to replace Michel Barnier whose ousting by parliament pushed France into a fresh crisis. Barnier was toppled in a historic no-confidence vote on December 4 and there had been expectations Macron would announce his successor in an address to the nation even a day later. But in a sign of the stalemate in French politics after inconclusive legislative elections this summer, he did not name his successor then and has now missed a 48-hour deadline he gave at a meeting meeting of party leaders on Tuesday. On Thursday, Macron left France on a day-long trip to key EU and NATO ally Poland but shortened the visit in an apparent bid to finalise the appointment. "The statement naming the prime minister will be published tomorrow (Friday) morning," said an aide to to the president, asking not to be named, late Thursday just after Macron touched down from the trip to Poland. "He is finishing his consultations," the aide added, without giving further details. Whoever is named will be the sixth prime minister of Macron's mandate after the toppling of Barnier, who lasted only three months, and faces an immediate challenge in thrashing out a budget to pass parliament. Each premier under Macron has served successively less time in office and there is no guarantee for the new premier that they will not follow this pattern. Macron remains confronted with the complex political equation that emerged from the snap parliamentary polls -- how to secure a government against a no-confidence vote in a bitterly divided lower house where no party or alliance has a majority. All the candidates widely floated so far have encountered objections from at least one side of the political spectrum. "They are stuck," said a person close to Macron, asking not to be named and lamenting that "each name gets blocked." "No one is in agreement around the president," added the source, expressing hope Macron will surprise everyone with an unexpected choice. Macron's rumoured top pick, veteran centrist Francois Bayrou, raises hackles on the left -- wary of continuing the president's policies -- and on the right, where he is disliked by influential former president Nicolas Sarkozy. Beyond Bayrou, prime ministerial contenders include former Socialist prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve, current Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu, a Macron loyalist, and former foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian. Another name being discussed in the media is Roland Lescure, a former industry minister, but the nomination of the former Socialist risks inflaming the right. These "are names that have been around for years and haven't seduced the French. It's the past. I want us to look to the future," Greens leader Marine Tondelier said. "The French public want a bit of enthusiasm, momentum, fresh wind, something new," she told France 2 television. Polls indicate the public is fed up with the crisis. Just over two-thirds of respondents to one Elabe poll published on Wednesday said they want politicians to reach a deal not to overthrow a new government. But confidence is limited, with around the same number saying they did not believe the political class could reach agreement. In a separate IFOP poll, far-right National Rally (RN) figurehead Marine Le Pen was credited with 35 percent support in the first round of a future presidential election -- well ahead of any likely opponent. She has said she is "not unhappy" that her far-right party was left out of the horse-trading around the government, appearing for now to benefit from the chaos rather than suffer blame for bringing last week's no-confidence vote over the line. In a critical looming moment, Le Pen on March 31, 2025 faces the verdict in an embezzlement trial on charges she denies. If convicted, she could lose the chance of standing in the 2027 elections and with it her best chance yet of winning the Elysee. burs-tgb-sjw/rlpEveryone will love this Marry Me chicken budget meal

Cement road mess: HC warnings unheeded by road-owning agenciesThe hypercar genre evolves as Ferrari F80 and McLaren W1 arrive. Dizzyingly potent but potentially less vocal and involving, the evo team wonders? Any conversation pertaining to ‘need’ and ‘hypercars’ is almost redundant out of the gates. Of all cars, it’s hypercars that cater the least to bare motoring necessities and, indeed, to most budgets. They’re objects to experience, that exist to stoke emotions – and bank accounts too, given how the breed has become an asset class all of its own over the last few years. With the new round of ‘Holy Trinity’ hypercars now two-thirds out in the open in the form of the newly revealed Ferrari F80 and McLaren W1, there is an interesting discussion to be had: how much power does a hypercar ‘need’? What does a hypercar actually need to do and be? Cars such as the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50, Aston Martin Valkyrie , Lotus Evija and Pagani Utopia have recently expanded the sector in all directions. The more experiential, tactile approach of the GMA T.50 – diligently continuing the ethos that shaped the McLaren F1 – differs hugely from the uncompromising, barely road-drivable track-car approach of the ear-splitting Valkyrie, which in turn is the antithesis of the silent but violent raw power of the electric Lotus Evija and cars of its ilk. Then there’s the artisanal, sculptural artistic space that Pagani continues to occupy with the Utopia. And that’s to say nothing of Koenigsegg , Rimac , Hennessey , Mercedes -AMG, or any of the other firms that continue to sell out their seven-figure machines with each iteration. Where do the new Ferrari F80 and the new McLaren W1 fit in, not only amongst these cars but in the context of the legendary machines they succeed, the LaFerrari and the McLaren P1? Following the Ferrari F80’s reveal, in episode 6 of the evo Podcast, editor-in-chief Stuart Gallagher and deputy editor James Taylor joined editors-at-large Dickie Meaden and John Barker in discussing the latest and greatest from both Maranello and Woking, our expectations based on what we know so far, and whether the hypercar genre has, if anything, gone too far, in relation to the Thrill of Driving. Is 1200 brake horsepower and beyond, with a more prominent hybrid drive element, fewer cylinders and – judging by footage of the F80 so far – very little sound, where car enthusiasts want this genre to go? You can listen to the podcast in full by searching for The evo Podcast on all established podcast platforms, and scrolling to episode 6. Here are some highlights from the conversation: Stuart Gallagher: Ferrari has hit back [at the McLaren W1] with its F80, which is very similar but also quite different, in that Ferrari way. It’s an interesting take but there is sort of an elephant in the room: it’s not a V12. Dickie Meaden: No, I think I've gone from one extreme to another now. I started off thinking, ‘I’m sure it’s got enormous performance, and it’s very efficient and packageable with all the hybrid stuff they need. But is it kind of missing the point, and does anyone need to go that fast, and is anyone that interested in the technology when it gives you half the number of cylinders?’ Then I saw a picture of the car without the bodywork on it and suddenly it’s like seeing the inner workings of the back of an amazing watch or similar. It looks so intriguing, and so extreme in what they’re doing. Seeing what’s under the skin, I sort of understand the way it looks now and what they’ve done. I’m really excited about how it’s going to drive. I think it’ll be quite unlike anything that they’ve built before. Stuart Gallagher: What does it have to do to fit into that great back catalogue of Ferrari hypercars? Dickie Meaden: The driving experience has got to be incredible to compensate for the [lack of] sound; certainly from the outside. I’m sure they’ve piped all sorts of elements of the engine noise into the cabin. [Based on the video] it doesn’t seem a particularly exuberant character, does it? Which a hypercar needs to be, so I’m guessing it’s going to have to make up for that in just how it deploys all the technology and how it puts you in the centre of it all and the way it does what it does. If anyone can do that, Ferrari can, but whether there’s still something missing – whether it is like watching the telly with a sound off – I don’t know. > Great Ferrari hypercars driven: 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo head-to-head Stuart Gallagher: What made the LaFerrari, the F40, the F50 so special? Because you didn’t need to be driving those at their maximum, did you? A lot of it’s going to be the engine. James, you’ve only driven an F40 once, through traffic... James Taylor: Yes, traffic in the middle of Hemmel Hempstead, which maybe isn’t the dream scenario, is it? And yet it actually still was a dream experience, because it was so totally engaging. The gearshift, and that weirdly angled steering wheel that’s a bit like a London bus... You feel so much a part of the car. The front of the engine’s almost coming into the cabin through the firewall. It was completely unforgettable. I think the F80 – the fact it doesn’t really even have a passenger seat, it’s kind of a set of harnesses and some padding against the firewall – it could have some of that feeling of total engagement. But a lot of the F40’s sense immersion was bound up in feeling the gearshift, feeling the steering, feeling the vibrations and hearing the squeaks and rattles, because it’s raw, so it’s quite a different thing. Dickie Meaden: I think it is a shame that, from what we’ve seen in the infamous Instagram videos, it seems to have so little emotion about it. You buy these things for pleasure, don’t you, and for the emotion they bring? McLaren were very clear that they wanted this out-and-out performance, and the all-new engine is still a V8 and the electric element is all torque-fill and all performance-based. You do wonder how they’re going to drive comparatively. Stuart Gallagher: It’ll be interesting because the ‘Holy Trinity’ were three completely different cars all aiming at the same thing, and it seems like certainly Ferrari have taken one route and McLaren have taken a completely opposite route this time. Porsche might have done a quick U-turn and be heading off in a different direction with the Mission X. I know we’ve heard between us, or spoken to friends who are in the tight circle of Porsche customers, and they were all spoken to and many said they’re not interested in EVs. Dickie Meaden: Then you’ve got Gordon Murray doing his GMA thing. It’s a totally different world, isn’t it, the simplicity and purity of that car? All the effort’s gone into taking all the weight out of it, not adding all the technology, and hand on heart I don’t know which, if you had a GMA T.50 there and an F80 Ferrari there, where my heart be. John Barker: A V12 starts off at such a higher level than something like a quiet V6 in the back of the Ferrari. Talking about the horsepower in the W1 and the Ferrari, how many people are actually going to get their toe down? Whereas you can probably still enjoy Gordon Murray’s car at any speed. Stuart Gallagher: It’s an occasion from looking at it to getting in it to starting it up. The noises and the sensations – you don’t have to be going quickly, but that’s the same to your Ferrari F40 experience, James: it’s just the sensations around you, from gearshifts to noise. Dickie Meaden: ‘We’ve complained about it for years, this sort of merry-go-round where big brands can only replace a car with something that’s faster, more powerful. None of them have been prepared to step off. GMA weren’t on it in the first place, were they? They could just make a statement and do their own thing, and that has its own appeal. The main manufacturers have got themselves in a position where it’s absurd – a 296 has 800 horsepower, twice what an F40 was. Stuart Gallagher: I’ve had that very conversation with the CEO of a supercar company: ‘Why does your next car have to be more powerful, faster than the existing one which no one’s ever stepped out of and said, ‘That needs more power, needs to be faster’? He was very honest: ‘If I presented to the marketing team that our next halo car is going to have less power and less performance, but it’s going to be lighter, better to drive, more efficient, and from a business point of view more profitable because we’re not going to have to throw all this stuff at it, they would just laugh me out the room.’ Because it’s much easier to sell ‘bigger is better’. Dickie Meaden: Everyone’s programmed to think that, aren’t they? But if you looked at the people who are buying them because it’s a car they want to drive, I wonder how many of them would actually hand-on-heart say, ‘I prefer driving this to my F50’. It's like everything’s been shaken up and it’s just where it’s all going to settle now; whether people end up preferring the ultra-powerful, ultra-high-performance things that you can only really drive on track. John Barker: We’ve been on group tests where I can remember chasing somebody, me in a 911, which had 500 horsepower, and he was in the 700-horsepower Ferrari Pista, and he couldn’t get away. There’s only so much you can use. You know it’s a finite amount that you can deploy on a decent road where you want to drive. Dickie Meaden: I drove a Chiron on the launch – I’m just having flashbacks to deploying the performance. The speed you go on a normal road... It’s a ‘lock you up and throw away the key’ job. It’s ridiculous and yet they do it. I think what people don’t appreciate about the really, really fast cars is that, when you drive a normal car, it takes about half an hour to row it up to 100mph; in a super-quick car you’re there and back before a normal car would have got to 60, so you can theoretically use lots of performance in these cars, but still there’s still so much that you’re not even tapping into. I think this is what we’ve struggled with for a long time. All you’re getting with the next-generation car is even more of that frustration – the performance reserve which you’ll never exploit. And all of that comes with more weight and bigger tyres. Stuart Gallagher: I think that’s where the electric hypercars have fallen flat completely, isn’t it? Because it’s their USP, their sales pitch: 2000 horsepower but no one can comprehend where you’re going to use it. James Taylor: I drove the Rimac Nevera quite briefly, but enough to know it’s dizzyingly fast and, with the lack of sound, you feel a bit disorientated by it as well. I mean, I came away thoroughly impressed by it, but I think I felt like there was so much more performance I hadn’t used. I almost felt... ‘frustrated’ is the wrong word, but I think I had more satisfaction from wringing out a slower car and feeling like I was using all the performance, but even so, it was fast enough for me. The Lotus Evija prototype I drove in 2022 was running 1600 horsepower and you'd be spinning a wheel without realising you were spinning it down the straight. Stuart Gallagher: It’s that desire thing, isn’t it? If you had a GMA or an F80 or an Evija parked outside, there's two cars that would be tugging at your heartstrings – which one do I drive? I can only drive one of them and I think there might be an intrigue level in the Evija, but not at the expense of not driving the others. It’s the sort of thing you want to drive once and then maybe once you’ve driven it, you don’t really need to drive it again, but that’s not a great ownership proposition is it?
