Kerala's Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan praised the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) for its strong showing in the state's recent bypolls, overcoming what he described as the false campaign by the opposition Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). During the event, Vijayan highlighted the LDF's notable victory in the Chelakkara constituency and the increased voting share in Palakkad. He criticized UDF's attempt to turn the poll into a referendum on the state government. The CM also accused the UDF of colluding with organizations like SDPI and Jamaat-e-Islami, emphasizing the public's support for the LDF in the election outcomes. Both coalitions retained their respective seats comfortably, while Congress secured Wayanad with a substantial margin.

Trump names Andrew Ferguson as head of Federal Trade Commission to replace Lina KhanIn both real estate, and in politics, timing is everything. For Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, he of the once impeccable political judgement, that timing has gone a little awry of late. Albanese’s decision to buy a $4.3 million clifftop home in the Central Coast in the midst of a housing and cost-of-living crisis that has dented his government’s bid for re-election left several of the prime minister’s Labor colleagues scratching their heads. It meant the government wasted another week defending Albanese from the “out of touch” allegations, rather than prosecuting its agenda. Tough market: Anthony Albanese is struggling to sell his Dulwich Hill investment property. Those allegations had been furnished by news in May that a Sydney man, who had lived as a tenant in the prime minister’s Dulwich Hill investment property, was left blindsided after receiving an eviction notice . That, too, left the prime minister on the defensive, forced to waste time discussing his record as a landlord. That property was set to go under the hammer with a $1.9 million price guide last month. Not a bad return given Albanese purchased it in 2015 for $1.175 million. But the property was abruptly pulled from auction, and the asking price lowered to $1.85 million. Now, the asking price has fallen to $1.75 million, with Albo’s real estate agent, Shad Hassen, telling us it was the victim of a changing market. “I think the reason for it is quite simple. There’s been a slight change in the market, and the PM’s property is not immune to that change,” he said, adding that he anticipates the property will be sold soon. When it does, it’ll still leave a tidy profit for the former housing-commission-boy-made-good. And the fact that an unsightly three-bedroom red brick semi in Dulwich Hill is pushing the $2 million mark says it all about the housing challenges the Albanese government faces. You can get a French chateau for less. Pistols at dawn On Friday, Australia’s politicians finally got a chance to return fire against the country’s journalists. It didn’t end well for them. About a dozen MPs had gathered at the Canberra International Clay Target Club for the pollies versus press gallery shoot-out, organised by former Olympic shooter turned Labor’s man mountain member for Hunter Dan Repacholi and Coalition frontbencher Bridget McKenzie. The duo are co-chairs of the Parliamentary Friends of Shooting, and had worked hard to get the tournament together. Other MPs in attendance included Regional Development Minister Kristy McBain, Labor’s Alison Byrnes, and Perin Davey , Colin Boyce and Ian Goodenough from the Coalition. But that bipartisan might was no match for the journos – not usually the most athletic bunch. In just his second time shooting, Channel Nine cameraman Luke Nicolaou shot a blinder, with both sides finishing on equal points. Things then proceeded to a tiebreaker between Repacholi and a ring-in from the National Press Club. The big man was the first to miss, giving the journos bragging rights. Lovely Rita “On social media, bad behaviour is good for business.” So spoke News Corp executive chair Michael Miller at a National Press Club address earlier this year, where he laid into the big tech giants.

Seoul, Dec 7 (AP) A South Korean legislative push to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived imposition of martial law fell through on Saturday after most lawmakers from his conservative governing party boycotted the vote. The defeat of the motion is expected to intensify public protests calling for Yoon's ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president's impeachment. Yoon's martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative party, but it is also determined to oppose Yoon's impeachment apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals. Impeaching Yoon required support from two-thirds of the National Assembly, or 200 of its 300 members. The opposition parties who brought the impeachment motion had 192 seats, but only three lawmakers from PPP participated in the vote. The motion was scrapped without ballot counting because the number of votes didn't reach 200. National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik called the result “very regrettable” and an embarrassing moment for the country's democracy that has been closely watched by the world. “The failure to hold a qualified vote on this matter means we were not even able to exercise the democratic procedure of deciding on a critical national issue,” he said. Opposition parties could submit a new impeachment motion after a new parliamentary session opens next Wednesday. There are worries that Yoon won't be able to serve out his remaining 2 1⁄2 years in office because his leadership took a huge hit. Many experts say some ruling party lawmakers could eventually join opposition parties' efforts to impeach Yoon if public demands for it grow further. If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office. If he is removed, an election to replace him must take place within 60 days. Woo repeatedly urged ruling party members to return to the chamber to participate in the vote, waiting several hours for them to come. At one point, Democratic Party leaders visited a hall on the floor below the main chamber where PPP lawmakers were gathered, attempting to persuade them to vote. After being blocked from entering, they angrily accused the conservatives' leadership of preventing its lawmakers from voting freely. Earlier Saturday, Yoon issued a public apology over the martial law decree, saying he won't shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promising not to make another attempt to impose martial law. He said would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country's political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.” “The declaration of this martial law was made out of my desperation. But in the course of its implementation, it caused anxiety and inconveniences to the public. I feel very sorry over that and truly apologise to the people who must have been shocked a lot,” Yoon said. Since taking office in 2022, Yoon has struggled to push his agenda through an opposition-controlled parliament and grappled with low approval ratings amid scandals involving himself and his wife. In his martial law announcement on Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a “den of criminals” bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate “shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces.” The turmoil resulting from Yoon's bizarre and poorly-thought-out stunt has paralysed South Korean politics and sparked alarm among key diplomatic partners like the US and Japan. Tuesday night saw special forces troops encircling the parliament building and army helicopters hovering over it, but the military withdrew after the National Assembly unanimously voted to overturn the decree, forcing Yoon to lift it before daybreak Wednesday. The declaration of martial law was the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea. Eighteen lawmakers from the ruling party voted to reject Yoon's martial law decree along with opposition lawmakers. Yoon's speech fuelled speculation that he and his party may push for a constitutional amendment to shorten his term, instead of accepting impeachment, as a way to ease public anger over the marital law and facilitate Yoon's early exit from office. Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party, told reporters that Yoon's speech was “greatly disappointing” and that the only way forward is his immediate resignation or impeachment. His party called Yoon's martial law “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or coup.” The passage of Yoon's impeachment motion appeared more likely Friday when the chair of Yoon's party called for his removal on Friday, but the party remained formally opposed to impeachment. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people densely packed several blocks of roads leading up to the National Assembly, waving banners, shouting slogans and dancing and singing along to K-pop songs with lyrics changed to call for Yoon's ouster. Protesters also gathered in front of PPP's headquarters near the Assembly, angrily shouting for its lawmakers to vote to impeach Yoon. A smaller crowd of Yoon's supporters, which still seemed to be in the thousands, rallied in separate streets in Seoul, decrying the impeachment attempt they saw as unconstitutional. Lawmakers on Saturday first voted on a bill appointing a special prosecutor to investigate stock price manipulation allegations surrounding Yoon's wife. Some lawmakers from Yoon's party were seen leaving the hall after that vote, triggering angry shouts from opposition lawmakers. On Friday, PPP chair Han Dong-hun, who criticised Yoon's martial law declaration, said he had received intelligence that during the brief period of martial law Yoon ordered the country's defence counterintelligence commander to arrest and detain unspecified key politicians based on accusations of “anti-state activities.” Hong Jang-won, first deputy director of South Korea's National Intelligence Service, told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing Friday that Yoon had ordered him to help the defence counterintelligence unit to detain key politicians. The targeted politicians included Han, Lee and Woo, according to Kim Byung-kee, one of the lawmakers who attended the meeting. The Defence Ministry said Friday it suspended three military commanders including the head of the defence counterintelligence unit over their involvement in enforcing martial law. Vice Defence Minister Kim Seon Ho has told parliament that Defence Minister Kim Yong Hyun ordered the deployment of troops to the National Assembly after Yoon imposed martial law. Opposition parties accused Kim of recommending to Yoon to enforce martial law. Kim resigned Thursday, and prosecutors imposed an overseas travel ban on him.

‘Training of extension agents/farmers key to improved livestock productivity’Charlottesville native and star Virginia wide receiver Malachi Fields has found a new program to play for. Fields announced via social media on Monday afternoon that he committed to Notre Dame. He’ll play there for fellow Monticello High School alum Mike Brown, the Irish’s wide receivers coach. At UVa, Fields was an All-ACC third-team choice this past season. He hauled in 55 catches for 808 receiving yards and five touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder earned an invitation to play in the East-West Shrine Bowl. But instead of turning pro, he opted to depart the Hoos through the transfer portal to continue his college career. Virginia’s Malachi Fields catches a pass during a game against North Carolina at Scott Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024. Fields is transferring to Notre Dame. The Irish had a first-hand look at Fields’ skill set last month, when they beat UVa, 35-14, in South Bend. Fields had four grabs for 81 yards in the loss and was a bright spot during a tough setback for the Cavaliers. With Notre Dame, he’s projected to be an immediate starter, especially with the College Football Playoff quarterfinal-bound Irish set to lose veteran wide receiver Beaux Collins, whose eligibility expires after this year. He enters seventh-seeded Notre Dame’s Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl showdown against No. 2-seed Georgia as the Irish’s leading receiver with 36 catches for 445 and two touchdowns. UVa already added a commitment from a transfer receiver in an effort to replace Fields’ production. This past Friday, the Hoos landed former Purdue receiver Jahmal Edrine, a 6-foot-3, 215-pounder with 63 catches for 944 yards and eight touchdowns in his career. Due to return at receiver for UVa are most notably Trell Harris, Andre Greene Jr., Suderian Harrison and Kam Courtney.
