Germany's Social Democrats (SPD) are set to confirm that Chancellor Olaf Scholz will once again be the party's candidate for chancellor in next year's federal election, after rival Boris Pistorius withdrew. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will run for a second term in the federal election in the new year after his party, the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), confirmed that they will nominate him as their lead candidate on Monday. "We want to go into the next election campaign with Olaf Scholz," the party's co-leader Lars Klingbeil said late on Thursday. Pistorius withdraws Scholz' nomination comes after Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, currently polling as Germany's most popular politician, informed the SPD leadership that he would not be running to be the party's chancellor candidate . "This is entirely my own, personal decision," said Pistorius, calling on colleagues to put an end to their internal disagreements as to who should lead the SPD into the snap elections, called after the current coalition government collapsed earlier in November. "I never started this debate, I never wanted it and I never brought myself into the conversation," said Pistorius. "It is now our joint responsibility to end this debate because there is a lot at stake." Praising Scholz for steering a difficult coalition through what he called maybe the biggest crisis of recent decades, Pistorius said: "Olaf Scholz is a strong chancellor and the right candidate for chancellor. Olaf Scholz stands for reason and prudence." Germany's Scholz, opposition agree on date for snap vote To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Asked by public broadcaster ZDF about his superior poll ratings, Pistorius insisted that "other barometers are more important" because poll ratings are "also fleeting" and cannot necessarily "be translated into votes on ballot papers." What's more, he said, stripping a sitting chancellor of the candidacy would be "a poor signal to send in these times," both at home and abroad. SPD co-chair Saskia Esken welcomed Pistorius' withdrawal, calling the decision "self-assured and a huge show of solidarity with the SPD and Chancellor Scholz." Speaking to the Rheinische Post newspaper on Thursday night, she added: "Boris Pistorius is an outstanding defense minister and we'll be fighting this election to ensure that he can continue to hold this position in the next government, too." Scholz and SPD face uphill battle What role the SPD will play in that government remains to be seen. Recent polls put the center-left party on just 14-16%, far behind the conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) and their chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz at 32-24%, but also behind the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) at 18-19%. Scholz recently questioned the "reliability" of the polls, reminding the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the SPD had also been lagging far behind the CDU two-and-a-half months before the 2021 election, before CDU candidate Armin Laschet was filmed laughing during a visit to the flood-hit Ahrtal region. Back-handed compliments from rivals Reactions to Scholz's impending repeat candidacy on Thursday night were not restricted to his own party, as political rivals also had their say. "It's fine by me if Mr Scholz is the SPD's candidate for chancellor," said a sarcastic Christian Lindner , leader of the economically liberal Free Democrats and Germany's Finance Minister before his dismissal by Scholz earlier this month led to the coalition government's collapse. "The people know what they're getting, and what not: economic change." CDU parliamentary chief Thorsten Frei told Berlin's Tagesspiegel newspaper that, while Scholz may have won the SPD's internal power struggle, he emerges from it "catastrophically damaged." "It's clear that large parts of the party don't want to follow Scholz and don't trust him to win the election," he added. Alexander Dobrindt from the CSU, the CDU's Bavarian sister party, suggested that the SPD's internal debates are far from over, claiming that the decision to run with Scholz "was not shared by large parts of the party ... but that's the SPD's problem, not ours." mf/zc (dpa, Reuters)Albany teachers and district officials have yet to land a deal on a new contract, as the strike enters its third week. However, there was movement over the key issue of managing class size over the weekend. Last week we introduced Dusty Bryant, who police evicted from Albany's designated resting site for homeless individuals. This week, we check in to see what's happening with Dusty. In mediation updates released Sunday night, Nov. 24, by Greater Albany Public Schools, the district’s communications director Becca Mallery said the district had offered teachers a class size fund of $500,000 per year. That's up from their $300,000 offer. That fund could be tapped to staff up classrooms like by adding an educational assistant or hiring another teacher, which the district estimates would cost GAPS around $100,000. The union had previously asked for a $1.5 million fund, though late last week lowered their ask to $500,000 for the first year of any approved contract, while demanding a $1.5 million fund for the second and third years of an agreement. The GAPS bargaining team has also offered lower class size thresholds for its pre-k through eighth grade classes for core subjects like English, math and social studies. The district offered lower thresholds for Title 1 or higher poverty schools in the district. Striking teachers at West Albany High School and Memorial Middle School formed picket lines along Queen Avenue, on Nov. 12. The strike has entered its third week. Those thresholds, when surpassed, would prompt a review process from a school building committee, which would make recommendation on how to address a classroom’s size, with options like hiring additional staff and blending classrooms on the table. Those recommendations would be presented to the district’s Human Resources director, other district officials and the union’s president, who will all ultimately decide how funds are spent. Appeals to their decisions would go before the superintendent and then the school board, which would have the final say. The union has previously requested hard class size caps and has tied the issue of high-class sizes to classroom safety and challenges managing student behavior. In their own statement, the Greater Albany Education Association said “small progress” was made over the weekend, but that the process offered by the district to address class size concerns "restricts teacher voice and choice." No mediation was scheduled for Monday, Nov. 25. While the district’s nearly 9,000 students were scheduled to be off this week for parent-teacher conferences and the Thanksgiving break, conferences were canceled because of the strike. GAPS students will have been out of school for a total of three weeks since Nov. 11, missing nine school days. Albany teachers started their first strike in decades on Nov. 12 , after Veterans Day. Since then, organizations like the Boys & Girls Club of Albany have seen an uptick in demand for their services. According to an update from Albany City Manager Peter Troedsson last Friday, the school closure has also driven demand for Albany Public Library services, with staff creating 93 new accounts since the strike began — 30 of which are youth accounts — and experiencing a doubling in youth program participants. With no deal over the weekend, teachers were back at their picket lines, Monday, Nov. 25. Striking teachers also scheduled community forums Monday evening at the Linn-Benton Community College Calapooia Center at the Albany campus.

HARCOURT North's Willow Kelly will be hoping to use her dual girls 14-under success in the recent Victorian State Masters tournament as a springboard into a big 2025 on the tennis court. or signup to continue reading Willow won both the girls 14-under singles and doubles titles at the invitation-only tournament held at the Bendigo Regional Tennis Association. The Victorian State Masters was the culmination of a year of competitive play across the junior tour featuring 160 of Victoria's top junior players in 12-under, 14-under and 16-under age groups. Willow, who turned 14 earlier this month, was the only player in any age group to win both singles and double events. In the girls 14-under singles final she beat Esther Meng 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. In the girls 14-under doubles final she teamed with Bianca Hristov to defeat Isabel Cairns and Lily Kohnsavang in straight sets 6-4, 7-5. "The tournament is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our junior players. To see such incredible talent on display, especially in challenging conditions, was truly inspiring. Bendigo provided the perfect backdrop for this showcase of Victoria's future stars," Tennis Victoria chief executive officer Kim Kachel said. Willow's dual success in the Victorian State Masters came shortly after she finished runner-up in the open women's singles final to Vaishnavi Xiao at the Bendiigo O3K J125 tournament last month. "I just love playing tennis and competing... when the game is really close it's a great challenge to be able to find different ways to win," Willow said this week.

Fresh daily!Photo radar cameras have caught nearly 300,000 speeders on Ottawa roads so far this year, as the City of Ottawa prepares to expand the automated speed enforcement camera program to another 39 locations over the next 14 months. New statistics show 40 automated speed enforcement cameras issued 291,599 speeding tickets in the January to September period. The cameras issued 220,789 speeding tickets in 2023 (26 cameras), 127,939 tickets in 2022 (17 cameras) and 80,944 tickets in 2021 (eight cameras). The photo radar camera on King Edward Avenue near Bolton Street has issued 47,929 tickets in its first eight months of operation (February to September), the highest number of tickets by a single camera in the city this year. The camera on Walkley Road, between Halifax Drive and Harding Road, issued 27,110 tickets in the January to September period, while the camera on St. Laurent Boulevard, between Noranda Avenue and Clarke Avenue, issued 16,722 speeding tickets. A total of 40 automated speed enforcement cameras were in operation through the first nine months of the year, and five new cameras have been installed this fall. A report for the transportation committee meeting next week outlines plans to install 15 new photo radar cameras by the end of this year, and another 24 photo radar cameras to be installed in 2025. Staff say the photo radar cameras have been forcing drivers to slow down since they first appeared on Ottawa roads in 2020. “Changes in driver behaviour and reducing speeds are also key to enhancing safety. A recent analysis of the original Automated Speed Enforcement pilot sites shows that extended use of speed cameras leads to more drivers obeying speed limits and fewer instances of 'High End Speeding' (driving more than 15 km/h above the limit),” says a report for the transportation committee. “Better speed compliance at speed camera sites leads to fewer speeding incidents the longer the cameras are in place.” Staff say within three months of a photo radar camera being installed, the number of drivers complying with the posted speed limit increased from 16 per cent to 57 per cent, and compliance jumps to 89 per cent within one year. The photo radar camera on King Edward Avenue, along a busy stretch of road popular with motorists travelling between Ontario and Quebec, issued 5,382 speeding tickets in September. The camera on Walkley Road was the second-busiest camera in September, issuing 3,726 tickets. Statistics show 10 of the 40 photo radar cameras issued at least 1,000 speeding tickets in September. The camera on St. Laurent Boulevard issued 1,544 speeding tickets, the camera on Cedarview Road caught 1,374 speeders and the camera on Riverside Drive near Mooney's Bay issued 1,284 tickets. Revenue generated by automated speed enforcement cameras and red light cameras are allocated to the Road Safety Reserve Fund, which funds road safety initiatives across the city. The 2025 draft budget includes $18 million for the Road Safety Action Plan, with funding set aside for pedestrian safety improvements, cycling safety enhancements, pedestrian crossover installations and new traffic control devices. 10 busiest photo radar cameras in September 15 busiest photo radar cameras so far in 2024 5 cameras with the fewest tickets in 2024 Ottawa Top Stories NEW THIS MORNING | 290,000 speeding tickets and counting: A look at how many photo radar tickets have been issued in Ottawa in 2024 Seniors facing 60% hike for OC Transpo monthly transit pass in 2025 under new proposal Ottawa Food Bank declares an emergency amid record-breaking usage Orleans man calls for changes after service guide dog attacked by another dog Woman seriously injured in October house fire dies in hospital, Ottawa police say What's happening in Ottawa this weekend: Nov.22-24 Ottawa police officer acquitted in death of Abdirahman Abdi testifies at inquest Pat King found guilty of mischief for role in 'Freedom Convoy' CTVNews.ca Top Stories Quebec man, 81, gets prison sentence after admitting to killing wife with Alzheimer's disease An 81-year-old Quebec man has been sentenced to prison after admitting to killing his wife with Alzheimer's disease.
