Jaguar has fully cemented its heritage amongst car enthusiasts worldwide and throughout history. With electrification at the forefront of the auto industry, the brand looks to disrupt the world of electric vehicles with the introduction of its new Type 00 model. Type 00 is a new beginning for Jaguar, without straying far from its core DNA. Sleek lines, bold grills and strong engines have always been the manufacturer’s signature elements. With the Type 00, modern artistry yields a concept car with a distinct presence. The first zero in 00 represents zero tailpipe emissions, while the second zero marks the turning of a new leaf. The concept car challenges the traditional proportions of electric cars. This is why Jaguar also chose to collaborate with forward-thinking British artists. The vehicle has enlarged proportions and a longitudinal architecture — a long hood and fastback profile — that allow for a comfortable, spacious interior characterized by a wide cabin and floating instrument panels. Materials employed inside Type 00 include brass, travertine stone and woven textiles — providing a multi-sensory experience. Other technical aspects of the car, like retractable screens, a sound bar, ambient lighting and graphics, powered stowage areas and a Clearsight rearview display, bridge the gap between the physical and digital realms. A clean, body-harmonized glazing matte finish characterizes the exterior of the vehicle, which is defined by uninterrupted lines that flow from the front to the boat-tail rear of the car. This upgraded silhouette was enabled by Jaguar Electrical Architecture (JEA). Jaguar believes that its products should be a “Copy of Nothing,” which is why there are new symbols of change implemented in the Type 00. The company relied heavily on a vibrant palette — London Blue, an homage to its home base, and Miami Pink, which is inspired by the rustic rose color brass takes on as it ages. The brand’s new device mark displays a novel typeface and symmetrical format, highlighting a balance of tension. The eye-catching strikethrough motif, as seen on the rear of the vehicle, represents the brand literally “striking through” convention, and this element carries over in the car’s 23-inch alloy wheels as well. Hand-finished brass is implemented in subtle ways throughout Type 00, reflecting a sculptural look and feel. It’s highlighted in the maker’s mark monogram and the hidden rear-facing camera ingots, which maintain the brand’s signature leaper, paying homage to its rich history. Though the car is Jaguar’s most future-forward to date and is capable of up to 1000 horsepower, technology exists in the background of the design to allow the architecture and artistry to shine through. “Jaguar is no place for ordinary. When you see a new Jaguar for the first time, it must have a sense of awe, of never having been seen before. Type 00 commands attention, like all the best Jaguars of the past. It has a dramatic presence, channeling a unique spirit of British creativity and originality. It celebrates art and embodies the essence of Exuberant Modernism,” said Constantino Segui Gilabert, Chief Exterior Designer at Jaguar. Jaguar’s first reimagined production car will be an electric four-door GT, which will be built in the UK and will roll out in late 2025. The team’s engineers are estimating a range of up to 430 miles on a single charge, with up to 200 miles of travel range in 15 minutes when rapid charging. The official range is subject to final testing on the future production model. Type 00 was revealed through a series of immersive, curated gallery spaces during Miami Art & Design Week, setting the brand’s intention to make an impact in the creative world as it evolves and grows. This dedication will carry over in many exclusive brand stores worldwide, with Jaguar’s first brand new store opening in the heart of Paris’ fashion district.

Remembered for brokering peace between Israel and Egypt, Carter also received the Nobel Peace Prize for his extensive humanitarian work. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden described Carter as an extraordinary leader and humanitarian who millions considered a dear friend. President-Elect Donald Trump noted the challenges Carter faced during his presidency and expressed gratitude for his efforts to improve American lives. Among those offering condolences were former Presidents and international leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, who emphasized Carter's steadfast advocacy for the vulnerable and tireless fight for peace. From his civil rights work to his dedication to Habitat for Humanity, Jimmy Carter's legacy is one of profound service and commitment to a better future. (With inputs from agencies.)

Irish civil servants compiled a list of “major leaks” they claimed originated from the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) and Special Branch officers in the region, records show. The confidential briefing note is part of the tranche of documents made public in the annual release of State papers from the Irish National Archives. An Irish Department of Foreign Affairs official focusing on justice and security created the list in October 2002. The document starts by referencing a 1999 interview given by George Mitchell, the chairman of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations, in which he claimed the British and Irish governments, as well as Northern Ireland’s political parties, had leaked information to manipulate public opinion. However, he further accused the NIO of attempting to sabotage the process by leaking information on British Government policy to the media. Mr Mitchell, a former US senator, is said to have expressed alarm and anger over the frequency of leaks from the NIO – saying they were uniquely “designed to undermine the policy of the British Government of which they were a part”. The Irish civil servant notes Mr Mitchell himself was subjected to an attempted “smear” when he first arrived in Northern Ireland, as newspaper articles falsely claimed his chief of staff Martha Pope had had a liaison with Sinn Fein representative Gerry Kelly with ulterior motives. The Irish civil servant goes on to list several “leaks”, starting with the publication of a proposed deal in a newspaper while “intense negotiations” for the Downing Street Declaration were under way. Next, the Department lists two “high-profile and damaging leaks issued from the NIO”. A so-called “gameplan” document was leaked in February 1998, showing papers had been prepared weeks before the Drumcree march on July 6, 1997. In the preceding years, there had been standoffs and clashes as nationalists opposed the procession of an Orange parade down Garvaghy Road in Portadown. The gameplan document showed then secretary of state for Northern Ireland Mo Mowlam, who was publicly expressing a desire for a negotiated solution to the 1997 parade, advocated “finding the lowest common denominator for getting some Orange feet on the Garvaghy Road”. In 1997, a large number of security forces were deployed to the area to allow the march to proceed. The incident sparked heightened tension and a wave of rioting. The document further describes the release of a document submitted by the NIO’s director of communications to the secretary of state as a “second major leak”. It claims a publicity strategy was released to the DUP in the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement and showed how the UK Government would support a yes vote in a referendum following any talks agreement. In addition, it is claimed unionists used leaked sections of the Patten report on policing to invalidate its findings ahead of its publication in 1999. The report recommended the replacement of the Royal Ulster Constabulary with the Police Service of Northern Ireland, the changing of symbols, and a 50-50 recruitment policy for Catholics and Protestants. At the time, UUP leader David Trimble said the recommendations would lead to a corruption of policing in Northern Ireland. Chris Patten, chairman of the independent commission on policing, said some of the assertions were a “total fabrication” and designed to “muddy the waters” to create a difficult political atmosphere. Elsewhere, the author notes it was leaked to the media there was serious disagreement between the governments of the UK and Ireland on the composition of that commission – with not a single name submitted by the Irish side being accepted by the other. The author notes this incident, still under the heading “NIO leaks”, was believed by British officials to have emanated from the Irish side. The report turns to leaks of other origin, claiming “disgruntled Special Branch officers in Northern Ireland” were blamed by the British Government for a series of releases about the IRA which were designed to damage Sinn Fein in the 2001 general election in Northern Ireland. One senior Whitehall source was quoted in the Guardian as complaining that Special Branch was “leaking like a sieve” after details of an IRA intelligence database containing the names of leading Tories – described at the time as a “hit list” – was passed to the BBC in April 2002. The briefing note adds: “This was followed days later by a leak to The Sunday Telegraph which alleged that senior IRA commanders bought Russian special forces rifles in Moscow last year. “The newspaper said it was passed details by military intelligence in London.” The briefing note adds that other Special Branch leaks were associated with the Castlereagh break-in. The final incident in the document notes the Police Ombudsman’s Report on the Omagh bombing was also leaked to the press in December 2001. Then Northern Ireland secretary John Reid said at the time: “Leaks are never helpful and usually malicious – I will not be commenting on this report until I have seen the final version.” The reason for creating the list of leaks, which the Irish National Archives holds in a folder alongside briefing notes for ministers ahead of meetings with officials from the UK Government and NIO, is not outlined in the document itself. – This document is based on material in 2024/130/6.

The city’s wage schedule outpaces state law, and is adjusted based on retail price data. While some leaders praised the increase, others worry about the effect it could have on small businesses. “Raising the minimum wage ahead of state law demonstrates our commitment to supporting our hardworking residents,” said Rachel Farac, a member of the Novato City Council. “This increase not only helps families make ends meet but also strengthens our local economy by putting more money into the hands of those who need it the most.” Novato’s wage schedule sorts businesses by the number of employees. Categories include “very large” for businesses with more than 100 employees; “large” for those with 26 to 99 employees; and “small” for businesses with 25 or fewer employees. In 2025, the city’s very large businesses will pay a minimum wage of $17.27 per hour; large businesses, $17 per hour; and small businesses, $16.42 per hour. The prior baseline was $16.86 an hour for very large businesses; $16.60 for large ones; and and $16.04 for small ones. State law requires all businesses to pay a minimum wage of $16.50 in 2025. In 2019, the City Council passed Ordinance 1653, which accelerated the state’s wage schedule and increased the wage by $1 per hour. The ordinance states that once $15 an hour is reached, it would be adjusted yearly by the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers. The data for the index is derived from the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area. Christina Mendes, the incoming chief executive officer of the Novato Chamber of Commerce, said the organization felt the state’s minimum wage schedule was adequate when the ordinance was first introduced. “As an organization dedicated to supporting the local business community, we understand the challenges this accelerated timeline presents, particularly for small businesses that form the backbone of our local economy,” Mendes said. “We acknowledge that adapting to these changes will be a challenge for many, but we remain committed to providing the resources and support necessary to help our businesses thrive during this transition.” Robert Eyler, a professor of economics at Sonoma State University, said Novato’s effort is noble, but from an economic standpoint, there are two issues. First, an effective minimum wage ordinance is a regressive tax — similar to a sales tax — with a bigger impact on smaller businesses, Eyler said. While larger businesses can bear the effects, smaller businesses might struggle. Second, Eyler said, raising the minimum wage does not always change the labor market. He said if the wage that is set by the local supply and demand for labor — a so-called equilibrium wage — is actually higher than the minimum wage, the minimum wage ordinance won’t effectively change labor market conditions. “So when you think about Novato’s increasing, on the one hand it’s good from the worker standpoint if it’s effective, it’s not good if it’s effective in terms for small business,” Eyler said. “Whether or not it’s effective or not is the big question.” Eyler said many ordinances take a business size approach to raising minimum wage. The issue, though, is determining what constitutes a large, medium or small business. Eyler said signs that a wage increase has had an impact on employers include business closures or hiring slowdowns. Mendes said adapting to increased labor costs while keeping affordable prices for customers is a complex challenge that businesses will need to navigate. She said the organization encourages businesses to connect with the Marin Small Business Development Center, which offers free resources and guidance to help plan for wage increases and other challenges. Novato is not alone in pursuing a higher minimum wage. According to the Economic Policy Institute, 21 states will increase minimum wages in 2025, and nearly 30 cities and counties in California are doing so. “It’s been recognized that we need to do something for lower wage workers in the jobs that sort of carry a lower wage with them,” Eyler said. “It’s just very hard to do that without small business sort of bearing that cost.” Marin is ranked one of the most inequitable counties in California in a number of fields, including in wages, according to the county. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s living-wage calculator sets a livable wage for an adult with no children in Marin County at $32.19 an hour. “We are proud to lead by example and this is a step to give everyone in Novato an opportunity to thrive,” Farac said. “This proactive step reflects our dedication to support all residents to achieve a better quality of life.” “By raising the minimum wage, we are not only supporting our hardworking community members, but also fostering a more robust and equitable local economy,” she said.

Telix Files TLX250-CDx (Zircaix®) BLA for Kidney Cancer ImagingDUP ministers Peter Robinson and Nigel Dodds were sanctioned in 2000 by Stormont’s leaders over their plan to disrupt the powersharing Executive. Minutes of an Executive meeting from June of that year state further action would be considered “as appropriate” if the DUP went ahead with a threat to rotate its ministers. The minutes are within files which have been declassified at the Public Record Office in Belfast. Devolved powersharing had been restored to Northern Ireland in May 2000 when Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble had received the backing of his party to go back into the Assembly, despite there having been no decommissioning of IRA arms at that point. Then DUP deputy leader Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds took up the offices as ministers for regional development and social development, but refused to attend Executive meetings due to the presence of Sinn Fein ministers. The party also said it would rotate its ministerial posts to prevent other parties from taking them. A minute of an Executive meeting on June 8 said Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds had refused a request from First Minister Mr Trimble and deputy First Minister Seamus Mallon to meet with them “to discuss recent public comments by the DUP concerning their positions as ministers”. The minute records that the Executive endorsed a proposal from the First and deputy First Ministers to write again to the two DUP ministers setting out sanctions against them. It says: “The First Minister and and Deputy First Minister would assume responsibility for representing the Executive Committee on transport matters at the British-Irish Council in place of the Minister for Regional Development. “The Minister for Social Development and the Minister for Regional Development would not be nominated to attend meetings of the Joint Ministerial Committee. “Pending the receipt of satisfactory assurances from DUP Ministers regarding the confidentiality and integrity of Executive Committee business, the Minister for Social Development and Minister for Regional Development would not receive Executive Committee papers as of right. “The First Minister and Deputy First Minister would seek briefing, as appropriate, from officials in the Department for Regional Development and Department for Social Development.” The minute continues: “If the DUP carried out their threat to change the holders of the two Ministerial offices on a frequent basis, the Executive Committee would consider other action as appropriate.” Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds resigned as ministers on June 27 and were replaced by party colleagues Gregory Campbell and Maurice Morrow. A minute from an Executive meeting that day says: “The Executive Committee noted that the Minister for Social Development and Minister for Regional Development would be resigning their posts that afternoon, and expressed concern at the proposed rotation of the ministries held by their Party Members.”

The stock market could be a key check on Trump's agenda in his 2nd termDeclassified files show the note to former MP John Spellar also said the republican party had ignored the “visceral component of sectarianism” in responding to a new government good relations strategy. Mr Spellar, then a Northern Ireland Office minister, had launched a consultation on the “A Shared Future” document, an attempt to address community divisions, segregation and sectarianism in the region at a time when the devolved powersharing institutions were suspended. A file at the Public Record Office in Belfast shows that OFMDFM official Chris Stewart wrote to the minister in July about a response to the document from Sinn Fein representative Bairbre de Brun. Mr Stewart told Mr Spellar that Ms de Brun’s letter had been critical of the document and was clearly intended to “mark your card”. He said among a number of points raised by de Brun was that “the promotion of equality is the key to improving community relations”. His memo adds: “Sinn Fein is clearly seeking to position or align the issue of community relations within its equality and human rights agenda. “This general Sinn Fein position has resulted in a simplistic analysis of community relations, which is flawed in its description of the causes and necessary policy response. “There is of course, no doubt that a lack of equality has been a contributing factor to poor community relations. “However, Sinn Fein ignores the many other factors, not least the violent conflict that resulted in over 3,000 deaths. “Sinn Fein also portrays poor community relations (for nationalists) as being a purely rational response to the political situation. “This ignores the more visceral component of sectarianism, which is all too prevalent in both communities.” Mr Stewart continues: “To suggest, as Sinn Fein does, that the promotion of equality should be the key component of good relations policy is to ignore the key message in A Shared Future, that indirect approaches alone are insufficient to deal with sectarianism and the abnormal relationship between sections of the Northern Ireland community.” The official recommended the minister invite representatives of Sinn Fein to a meeting to discuss the policy. The file also contains a note about Mr Spellar’s meeting with DUP representatives Maurice Morrow and Peter Weir the following month to discuss the document. The note says: “Morrow said he had no problem with sharing the future and suggested that the first step to that would be an election to decide who spoke for whom – though he was quick to say he didn’t want politics to dominate the meeting.” It adds: “Weir said that the biggest step towards improving community relations would be the creation of a political environment that had the broad support of both unionism and nationalism, and the GFA (Good Friday Agreement) could not create that environment.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves delayed their game against the San Antonio Spurs by one hour on Sunday night due to an issue with the court at Target Center. The Timberwolves announced the decision about three hours before the originally scheduled tipoff time. The Spurs discovered the problem during their morning shootaround, Timberwolves spokesman Patrick Rees said. The team decided to delay the game so arena staff had enough time to install the replacement court that had to be delivered from elsewhere. The Timberwolves have played at Target Center since 1990.
