Farmers are planning a coordinated series of blockades on major supermarkets in protests against the government’s plans to change inheritance tax rules according to the Telegraph. Under plans devised by radical elements of campaign groups, tractors could be used to block entrances to distribution hubs , causing chaos across the UK and leaving supermarket shelves empty. According to sources, the action could increase incrementally if their demands are ignored and could ultimately result in a “complete shutdown.” The response to Rachel Reeves announcement in October’s budget that she planned to scrap farmers exemption from paying the tax was met with fury, with thousands descending on Westminster the following month to protest. The measure could see farmers liable to pay 20 per cent inheritance tax on assets worth more than £1 million in her first Budget. A blockade of supermarket distribution centres however would mark a significant escalation in the face off between the industry and the government. A source with knowledge of the plans told the Telegraph: “The first time will be for a short period to show it can be done. Then a 12 or 24-hour shutdown, and ultimately if it gets that far, a complete shutdown until the Government come to the table. “It could ultimately shut down the economy, no food means serious chaos. The Government have picked a fight with the wrong sector!” Distribution centres are crucial to the operation of UK supermarkets, with 2 billion cases moving through Tesco’s each year. Cllr Tim Taylor, leader of Pro Farmers United, has warned that any future action taken by farmers must be careful not to damage the support and good will of the general public. He said: “We have to keep it in the public eye. Labour won’t cave but if that pressure is on and on and we have the public support, then keep your eye on the county council elections in May. “They are not going to do anything regardless of how we step up but now they are learning the hard way, we are not going to be messed about with.” Jeremy Clarkson , one of the most high-profile farmers to have attended November’s Westminster protest said he did not believe that farmers would take action as far as blockades but government ministers have begun preparing for that eventuality just in case. Following the protests, Lousie Haigh then the Transport Secretary said that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs were planning for any action taken to disrupt supermarkets. A government source added: “As any responsible government would, we would rightly prepare for a range of scenarios to ensure that consumers are not affected.” Andrew Opie, director of food and sustainability at the British Retail Consortium told the Telegraph: “Retailers are closely monitoring the impact of the potential interventions, including strikes, but are adept at dealing with disruption and are working hard to ensure customers aren’t impacted.” The government has thus far refused to back down from their plans to impose the tax on farmers, despite the large number of family farms who have signalled it could spell the end for farming as we know it. A Government spokesman said: “Our commitment to farmers remains steadfast – we have committed £5 billion to the farming budget over two years, including more money than ever for sustainable food production, and we are developing a 25-year farming roadmap, focusing on how to make the sector more profitable in the decades to come “Our reform to Agricultural and Business Property Relief will impact around 500 estates a year. For these estates, inheritance tax will be at half the rate paid by others, with 10 years to pay the liability back interest free. This is a fair and balanced approach which fixes the public services we all rely on.”

Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points and the Indiana Pacers rebounded from a 37-point loss to Boston two nights earlier by beating the Celtics 123-114 on Sunday night in the rematch. Andrew Nembhard, who returned after missing Friday’s game with tendinitis in his left knee, added 17 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the Pacers. Pascal Siakam chipped in with 17 points and Bennedict Mathurin had 14. Jaylen Brown led Boston with 31 points and six assists. Jayson Tatum had 22 points, nine boards and six assists. Payton Pritchard added 21 points and Derrick White scored 17. The Celtics lost their sixth game at home already this season. Last season, they went 37-4 at TD Garden during the regular season and 9-2 in the playoffs en route to the NBA championship. Pacers: Coming off a blowout loss, coach Rick Carlisle wanted to see his team respond by getting off to a physical start. The Pacers went inside instead of setting for jumpers and outscored Boston 66-48 in the paint to make up for the loss of injured forward Obi Toppin (sprained left ankle). Celtics: After coasting to the lopsided win on Friday when they hit 23 3-pointers, they followed that by going only 16 of 54 from beyond the arc while missing starters Jrue Holiday (shoulder injury) and Kristaps Porzingis (sprained left ankle). The Celtics had whittled an 11-point deficit to 105-103 on Tatum’s three-point play with 7:38 to play before the Pacers scored the next 13 points over nearly two minutes to take control. Indiana made 22 free throws to just 16 for Boston. The Pacers host the Bucks on Tuesday afternoon, and the Celtics are at home against the Raptors the same day. Updated 08:06 IST, December 30th 2024The man accused of burning a woman to death inside a New York City subway train used a shirt to fan the flames, a prosecutor said at his arraignment on murder charges. Sebastian Zapeta, 33, who federal immigration officials said is a Guatemalan citizen who entered the US illegally, was not required to enter a plea and did not speak at the hearing in Brooklyn criminal court. He will remain jailed at the city’s Rikers Island complex and is due back in court on Friday. His lawyer did not ask for bail. Zapeta is charged with two counts of murder, accusing him of intentionally killing the woman and killing her while committing arson. He is also charged with one count of arson. The top charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez called the attack a “gruesome and senseless act of violence” and said it would be “met with the most serious consequences.” The apparently random attack occurred Sunday morning on a train stopped at the Coney Island station. The victim’s identification is still pending. Authorities say Zapeta approached the woman, who may have been sleeping in the train, and set her clothing on fire with a lighter. Zapeta then fanned the flames with a shirt, engulfing her in fire, Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg said in court Tuesday. Zapeta sat on a bench on the subway platform and watched, Rottenberg said. According to Rottenberg, Zapeta told detectives that he didn’t know what happened but identified himself in images of the attack. Zapeta’s lawyer, public defender Andrew Friedman, did not speak to reporters after the arraignment. Video on social media appears to show some people looking on from the platform and at least one police officer walking by while the woman is on fire inside the train. NYPD Transit Chief Joseph Gulotta said Sunday that several officers responded to the fire and one stayed to keep the crime scene “the way it’s supposed to be” while the others went to get fire extinguishers and transit workers. “Officers who were on patrol on an upper level of that station smelled and saw smoke and went to investigate. What they saw was a person standing inside the train car fully engulfed in flames,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. They eventually put the fire out, but “unfortunately, it was too late,” Tisch said, and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Zapeta was taken into custody Sunday afternoon while riding a train on the same subway line after teenagers recognised him from images circulated by the police. A Brooklyn address for Zapeta released by police matches a shelter that provides housing and substance abuse support. Federal immigration officials said Zapeta was deported in 2018 but later reentered the US illegally. The crime deepened a growing sense of unease among some New Yorkers about the safety of the subway system, amplified by graphic video of the attack that ricocheted across social media. Overall, crime is down in the transit system compared to last year. But murders are up, with nine killings this year through to November compared to five during the same period last year. There have also been several high-profile incidents, including one in September where police inadvertently shot two bystanders and a fellow officer when they opened fire on a man holding a knife in front of a train. Earlier this month, a Manhattan jury acquitted former Marine Daniel Penny in the chokehold death last year of an agitated subway rider. The case became a flashpoint in debates over safety, homelessness and mental illness on the system.
Man City stumble again while Arsenal and Bayern Munich earn dominant wins
ATLANTA — On Jan. 20, 1981, after suffering a landslide defeat, former President Jimmy Carter returned home to rural Plains to what he called “an altogether new, unwanted, and potentially empty life.” By 1982, he had such a low profile that Time magazine called him “virtually a non-person, a president who never was.” But Carter would rewrite his legacy by turning to his implacable faith. It was, to him, an enduring source of comfort and inspiration, continuously helping guide him even through the most stunning setbacks — from losing elections to marital woes, an interminable hostage crisis in Iran and health crises in later life. His hometown of Plains wasn’t just Carter’s childhood home — it was his spiritual center. Upon his return after his presidential defeat, Carter, a third-generation Baptist, maintained his lifetime habit — teaching Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church. He made a cross that stood for years above the altar in his wood shop. As an active member, he took his turn cutting the church’s grass. And he applied his love-your-neighbor ethic to his work at the Carter Center. “He is not some pie-in-the-sky Christian. He is a down-to-earth Christian who sees the everyday challenges and applies his faith to practical problems,” said civil rights hero the Rev. Joseph Lowery in an October 2010 interview. “There is no question his commitment to peace is based on faith. His commitment to help the poor, his commitment to housing, you can attribute that to his faith. It was Christ’s challenge to serve the poor and he’s done that. I admire him for that.” In his 1996 book “Living Faith,” Carter wrote openly about problems in his marriage. Getting involved in the church in Plains helped him and his wife work though communication woes. “We found we could communicate through discussions of our religious faith better than we could without it,” he said. When they had problems in their marriage, they would kneel together, pray to God and both would tell their sides of the story. It was as if they used God as the ultimate marriage counselor, according to E. Stanly Godbold, a Carter historian and author of the book, “Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter: The Georgia Years, 1924 to 1974.” Faith played a role in 1978 when Carter held peace meetings between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Carter believed the common thread of religion helped bring the two sides together. “At Camp David, for instance, this is one of the main themes of Anwar Sadat, we had so much in common worshipping the same God that we could form a common foundation for peace,” Carter told the AJC in a 1996 interview. Break with Southern Baptists When Carter was running for president, he was an appealing candidate to Southern Baptists and other evangelicals — a small-town guy in the Bible belt, still married to the same woman and the first U.S. presidential candidate who self-identified as a born-again Christian. That terminology was new for swaths of America and resulted in news articles across the nation examining and explaining, often poorly, conservative Christian beliefs. It was also an early sign of the development of the political-religious organizations such as the Rev. Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority that followed. The evangelical Christian vote helped elect Carter. But in just four years, the most famous face of the Baptist religion was at odds with the increasingly conservative-leaning Southern Baptist Convention. The nation’s largest Protestant denomination also was undergoing its own cultural changes. Through the 1980s, theologically and politically conservative leaders rallied voting members of the convention to sweep out moderates from leadership roles in churches, seminaries and colleges over their theological “liberalism.” Carter’s views on hot-button issues such as supporting women as leaders in the church made him increasingly unpopular among many Southern Baptists and other evangelicals. He later showed support for civil unions, and by 2018 for marriage of same sex couples. But in 1979, many of the conservatives who voted for him the first time deserted him for Ronald Reagan. In 2000, Carter severed ties to the Southern Baptist Convention, saying parts of its “increasingly rigid” doctrines violated the “basic premises of my Christian faith.” Carter went on to play a role in helping start an alternate association for progressive evangelical Black and white churches whose memberships and leaders were more moderate in their thinking and actions, such as installing women into pulpits and key church roles, and focusing on goals such as fighting poverty, and advocating for the environment and social causes. Carter used his weight to get the New Baptist Covenant and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship off the ground. In 2008, he helped bring together 20,000 Baptists representing more than 20 million church members for an Atlanta event designed to bury differences and work together. The tension was deep. The Southern Baptist Convention’s news service, Baptist Press, did not carry a news article about Carter winning the Nobel Peace Prize. “Carter didn’t change,” said Nancy T. Ammerman, a sociologist of religion at Boston University and author of “Baptist Battles.” “The definition of what it meant to be Southern and Baptist changed.” “One of the characteristics of being Baptist is this that you have to make decisions about how your life is going to go,” said Ammerman. “No priest can do it for you. There’s this deep-seated notion of individual freedom and individual accountability, and (that) gave him this fierce ability to be independent that has shaped his personality and career and has given him a strong commitment to democracy, various human rights issues and religious liberty.” An abiding faith Carter’s faith can be traced back to his childhood, a time when Sunday was devoted to church and biblical teachings. In his hometown of Plains, no stores were open on Sunday. Going to a movie theater or even playing cards on Sunday was out of the question. That devotion never faded. Well into his 90s, he was behind the pulpit teaching multiple Sundays every year to classes filled with people from around the nation and world who would drop in to hear the former president. One Sunday, Carter counted 28 nations represented in the pews. He would talk about God and loving your enemies, and then sprinkle stories of traveling around the globe, building houses and eradicating disease. He and Rosalynn would pose for pictures with visitors at the little church, a quintessential Jimmy Carter experience. Even as he contemplated his demise, he looked to his faith for guidance. In “Living Faith,” he wrote: “We can face death with fear, anguish, self-torment and unnecessary distress among those around us. Or, through faith and the promises of God, we can confront the inevitable with courage, equanimity, good humor and peace. Our last few days or months can be spent in a challenging and exhilarating way, seeking to repair relationships and to leave a good or even noble legacy, in an atmosphere of harmony and love.” ©2024 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

It is important to address the concerns raised in Farooq Kperogi’s recent article, “Tinubu’s Buharisation of the NNPC”, and to clarify some of the misconceptions about the operations and leadership structure of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited. First, employment, promotions, appointments, and movements of business leaders at the NNPC are not influenced by ethnicity, tribe, religion, or political affiliation. Therefore, decisions within the NNPC are guided strictly by merit, business requirements, and expertise. This approach ensures that only the most qualified and competent individuals occupy positions that are critical to the company’s success. It is significant that our company focuses on efficient and effective service delivery, which is anchored on the commitment of a qualified work team. The NNPC prides itself on being a professional organisation with a diverse leadership lineup that includes individuals from various parts of the world, not just Nigeria. The presence of qualified foreigners in the employ of the NNPC, who have been bolstering the value chain of production and distribution of allied products, is verifiable. It is, thus, sad that a professor of Mr Kperogi’s standing would resort to and play up the issue of ethnic identities in the configuration of the work team in NNPC just to demonise President Tinubu. “This editorial preoccupation of Mr Kperogi is nothing but sheer red herring, ostensibly orchestrated to detract from the President’s disciplined leadership that upholds the freedom of the NNPC as well as the company’s work ethic that has produced its strings of sterling performances. Under the leadership of Mele Kyari, the NNPC has achieved remarkable milestones and recorded several “firsts” in the industry. These milestones were not defined, coloured or contoured by primordial fault lines of tribe and religion. “They were inspired by the collective drive for excellence. These milestones include groundbreaking advancements in exploration, production, and global partnerships that were previously thought unattainable. “This success is a testament to the company’s focus on competence and professionalism rather than on parochialism as insinuated in the editorial offerings by Mr Kperogi. Regarding Mr Kperogi’s notions about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it is essential to highlight that Mr President has not interfered in the operations or leadership movements within the NNPC. On the contrary, his administration has introduced transformative policies that have added immense value to the oil and gas sector and the broader Nigerian economy. President Tinubu’s approach has been to empower institutions like the NNPC to operate independently while fostering a conducive environment for growth and innovation. His reforms have set a benchmark that has significantly improved the sector, surpassing the achievements of many of his predecessors. It is disappointing that individuals like Mr. Kperogi, who have lived and observed governance structures abroad, would overlook these accomplishments and focus on divisive narratives. Symbolism, while important, must not overshadow the substantive achievements and transformative impact of policies and leadership on national development. We extend an open invitation to Mr Kperogi to visit the NNPC and witness firsthand the professionalism, sacrifices, and daily efforts that go into driving Nigeria’s economic engine. He will see a team that works tirelessly to contribute to the growth of our economy and the prosperity of our nation. The NNPC remains committed to fostering unity, embracing diversity, and upholding the principles of meritocracy. It is through such commitments that we can continue to work to achieve and strengthen national cohesion and position Nigeria as a global leader in the energy sector. We urge commentators and stakeholders alike to base their assessments on hard facts and evidence, rather than conjectures, for the greater good of our nation. ■ Olufemi Soneye is the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd.The Boston Red Sox continued to rebuild their pitching staff, acquiring left-hander Jovani Morán on Tuesday from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for catcher and infielder Mickey Gasper. The 27-year-old Morán appeared in 79 games as a reliever for the Twins from 2021 to 2023, posting a 4.15 ERA, striking out 112 with 52 walks and holding opponents to a .208 batting average. He missed all of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery. He originally was chosen in the seventh round of the 2015 draft. In Gasper, the Twins are getting a 29-year-old who made his major league debut last season and appeared in 13 games with Boston. The switch-hitter was selected by the New York Yankees in the 27th round of the 2018 draft. He was picked by Boston in the minor league portion of the 2023 Rule 5 Draft.

Amid some Republican Party infighting, one GOP congressman is seeking to unite his caucus behind House Speaker Mike Johnson ahead of a pivotal vote that will decide whether he retains the gavel in 2025. Appearing Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Rep.

Tyler Technologies executive chair Marr sells $7.36 million in stockCelebrity osteopath admits spying on female university students as they got undressed in halls of residence By MILO POPE Published: 22:49, 24 December 2024 | Updated: 23:14, 24 December 2024 e-mail View comments A celebrity osteopath has admitted to spying on female university students while they got undressed in their halls of residence. Torben Hersborg, 63, made at least 60 videos of women over the course of four years and was caught by police while carrying a camera and a telescope, a court heard. According to the Standard , Hersborg, of Peartree Lane in Wapping, was wearing black gloves when he was arrested and had covered the back seat of his car with black bin bags. Hersborg, a Danish national, is said to be the childhood friend of actor Mads Mikkelsen and moved to the UK in 1984. The osteopath, who works to alleviate muscle and joint pain, boasts an extensive group of celebrity clients. These include the likes of Strictly Come Dancing contestant Viscountess Emma Weymouth. Hersborg also posted an image on his Instagram of himself and presenter Fearne Cotton after he helped her. Another image on his account from 109 shows him and famous musicians Ronnie Wood and Beverley Knight.

BRITS will watch five hours of telly a day over Christmas and 'lie' to loved ones to avoid socialising for a boxset. As Christmas officially kicks off, many will embrace the slow, relaxed pace of the Twixmas period between December 26th and 31st, indulging in some guilty pleasures while avoiding the social demands of the festive season. A recent survey from Sky and Now has revealed that, during this in-between lull, Brits will engage in some surprising habits, with a focus on binge-watching TV, staying in their pyjamas, and even skipping showers. According to the poll, a quarter will avoid showering for three days or more during Twixmas, while half admit to wearing the same pair of pants for longer than a day. Even more surprising, 21 percent of respondents will go up to five days without leaving the house, making the period a time for ultimate relaxation and avoidance of any unnecessary errands or social obligations. In fact, it seems that getting dressed is not a priority for many, as over half of respondents - at 55 percent - will spend at least one day lounging around in their pyjamas, with some spending the entire period in their most comfortable attire. read more on Christmas The trend of taking it easy continues with the discovery that 64% of Brits said their favourite activity during Twixmas is staying at home and watching TV. With family and friends often still lingering from Christmas, some will take the opportunity to lie about being busy to avoid socialising beyond December 25th. Around 22 percent of people admitted to fibbing to loved ones so they can stay home, binge-watch boxsets, and simply unwind without any obligations. It’s no surprise, then, that Brits are setting aside considerable time for television, with the average person watching five hours a day. Most read in Streaming Over the six days of Twixmas, this adds up to an impressive 30 hours of TV viewing, and across the UK, it amounts to a staggering 1.8 billion hours of collective screen time. During this period, many will start and finish a new TV series in just a few days, with 52 percent of respondents committing to new shows. Two-fifths will go so far as to binge-watch TV all day without ever getting up, cementing the idea that this is a time dedicated to indulgent relaxation. Rewatching old favourites is also common, with 51% of Brits revisiting beloved series they've already seen multiple times. With Gavin and Stacey's final ever episode set to air, it's perfect timing for fans to re-watch the entire series from the beggining. The Twixmas period also serves as a time for many to catch up on all the Christmas specials and festive-themed TV shows they missed during the chaos of the holiday.
