Six-time Olympic gold medallist Emma McKeon has announced her retirement from competitive swimming as one of the most successful Australian athletes. The 30-year-old confirmed the news on her Instagram on Monday morning, saying she was "proud" and she had gave her swimming career "absolutely everything". "Today I am officially retiring from competitive swimming. Leading into Paris, I knew it would be my last Olympics, and the months since have given me time to reflect on my journey, and think about what I wanted my future to look like in swimming," she wrote. "I am proud of myself for giving my swimming career absolutely everything, both physically and mentally. I wanted to see what I was capable of - and I did." McKeon added she had been "given so much" since taking the sport up at the age of five through to representing Australia on the world stage at three consecutive Games. "I have so many lessons, experiences, friendships and memories that I am so thankful for. Along with every person who supported me, worked hard with me, and cheered me on. THANKYOU," she continued in the social media post. "Now I am excited to see how I can push myself in other ways, and for all the things that life has in store." The post was accompanied by a video showing her highlights in and out of the water. McKeon - who has won six golds, three silvers and five bronze medals at Rio, Tokyo and Paris - previously said she has a "love-hate" relationship with swimming. In her teenage years she stopped going to the pool, but quickly found out she missed being in the water, as well as "working hard for a goal". As her career grew she had to learn to cope with the pressure of the sport which included on missing out on making the Australian team at the 2012 London Games. McKeon won her first gold four years later at Rio, but it was not until 2021 during the COVID-interrupted Tokyo Games when she caught the world's attention. The then 27-year-old became the first woman to win seven medals at a Games, four of which were gold, and also set three Olympic records and one world record. Her first Olympic gold in the 100 metre freestyle in Rio is one of her highlights. McKeon struggled leading up to the Paris Games this year. She missed out on qualifying for her individual pet events in the Australia trials a few months before the Olympics, only advancing into the relays and the 100m butterfly. The champion swimmer did however help Australia win gold in the 4x100m freestyle alongside Mollie O'Callaghan, Shayna Jack and Meg Harris to beat the USA and China. This is a breaking story. More to come.Jalandhar: BJP candidates might have lost their security deposit at three of the four assembly seats in Punjab where bypolls were held recently, but the saffron party’s vote share in these constituencies for the 2022 assembly elections, 2024 parliamentary elections and the bypolls shows the outfit retained its vote base. The party got these votes even as it was known BJP had no chances of winning. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who got whom IPL 2025 Auction: Updated Full Team Squads In Barnala, the party got reasonable traction. In the other three rural seats, BJP candidates lost their security deposit. A comparison of votes shows the saffron party has recovered from what it had lost to AAP’s landslide win in 2022. Perhaps, it had gained more in the parliamentary election as there was polarisation of upper caste Hindu voters towards BJP in Punjab and it made a cut in Congress vote base also in that social base. BJP is the only party to make such a recovery from AAP, whereas Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal are still reeling under those losses. BJP got 1,913 votes in Dera Baba Nanak in 2022. In the 2024 parliamentary elections, it polled 5,981 votes from the assembly segment. In this bypoll, it got 6,505 votes. In Chabbewal, it got 4,073 votes in 2022, 9,472 in parliamentary elections, and 8,692 votes in this bypoll. In 2022, BJP was in an alliance with Capt Amarinder Singh-led Punjab Lok Congress (PLC) and his party contested from Gidderbaha. His party got just 391 votes. However, in the parliamentary elections, BJP got 14,850 votes in Gidderbaha. In this bypoll, party nominee Manpreet Badal got 12,227 votes. The most remarkable consistency appears at Barnala. In 2022, BJP got 9,122 votes. In the 2024 parliamentary elections, it got 19,2018 votes. This time, party nominee Kewal Singh Dhillon got 17,958 votes. In Dera Baba Nanak, BJP registered a slight gain in voters. The votes have also made it evident that senior SAD and Congress leaders fielded by BJP have made little difference. This retention of its vote base by the BJP also assumes significance when municipal bodies polls are scheduled to be held in Dec end. AAP making Aman Arora its Punjab unit president and also making it a point to project him as “a prominent Hindu leader” has apparently been done ahead of the municipal polls as AAP bosses are realising they face a major challenge from BJP among upper caste Hindus.

By KELVIN CHAN LONDON (AP) — After a sprawling hacking campaign exposed the communications of an unknown number of Americans, U.S. cybersecurity officials are advising people to use encryption in their communications. To safeguard against the risks highlighted by the campaign, which originated in China, federal cybersecurity authorities released an extensive list of security recommendations for U.S. telecom companies — such as Verizon and AT&T — that were targeted. The advice includes one tip we can all put into practice with our phones: “Ensure that traffic is end-to-end encrypted to the maximum extent possible.” End-to-end encryption, also known as E2EE, means that messages are scrambled so that only the sender and recipient can see them. If anyone else intercepts the message, all they will see is a garble that can’t be unscrambled without the key. Law enforcement officials had until now resisted this type of encryption because it means the technology companies themselves won’t be able to look at the messages, nor respond to law enforcement requests to turn the data over. Here’s a look at various ways ordinary consumers can use end-to-end encryption: Officials said the hackers targeted the metadata of a large number of customers, including information on the dates, times and recipients of calls and texts. They also managed to see the content from texts from a much smaller number of victims. If you’re an iPhone user, information in text messages that you send to someone else who also has an iPhone will be encrypted end-to-end. Just look for the blue text bubbles, which indicate that they are encrypted iMessages. The same goes for Android users sending texts through Google Messages. There will be a lock next to the timestamp on each message to indicate the encryption is on. But there’s a weakness. When iPhone and Android users text each other, the messages are encrypted only using Rich Communication Services, an industry standard for instant messaging that replaces the older SMS and MMS standards. Apple has noted that RCS messages “aren’t end-to-end encrypted, which means they’re not protected from a third party reading them while they’re sent between devices.” Samsung, which sells Android smartphones, has also hinted at the issue in a footnote at the bottom of a press release last month on RCS, saying, “Encryption only available for Android to Android communication.” To avoid getting caught out when trading texts, experts recommend using encrypted messaging apps. Privacy advocates are big fans of Signal, which applies end-to-end encryption on all messages and voice calls. The independent nonprofit group behind the app promises never to sell, rent, or lease customer data and has made its source code publicly available so that it can be audited by anyone to examine it “for security and correctness.” Signal’s encryption protocol is so reputable that it has been integrated into rival WhatsApp , so users will enjoy the same level of security protection as Signal, which has a much smaller user base. End-to-end encryption is also the default mode for Facebook Messenger , which like WhatsApp is owned by Meta Platforms. Telegram is an app that can be used for one-on-one conversations, group chats and broadcast “channels” but contrary to popular perception, it doesn’t turn on end-to-end encryption by default. Users have to switch on the option. And it doesn’t work with group chats. Cybersecurity experts have warned people against using Telegram for private communications and pointed out that only its opt-in ‘secret chat’ feature is encrypted from end-to-end. The app also has a reputation for being a haven for scammers and criminal activity, highlighted by founder and CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest in France . Instead of using your phone to make calls through a wireless cellular network, you can make voice calls with Signal and WhatsApp. Both apps encrypt calls with the same technology that they use to encrypt messages. There are other options. If you have an iPhone you can use Facetime for calls, while Android owners can use the Google Fi service, which are both end-to-end encrypted. The only catch with all these options is that, as with using the chat services to send messages, the person on the other end will also have to have the app installed. WhatsApp and Signal users can customize their privacy preferences in the settings, including hiding IP address during calls to prevent your general location from being guessed.

Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan will be taking audiences to mythical Greece with his latest project. Universal Pictures announced this week that Nolan will be directing a cinematic adaptation of " The Odyssey ," an ancient poem believed to be written by Homer between 750 and 650 BCE centering on the character Odysseus' 10-year trek home after the Trojan War. Nolan's forthcoming adaptation is described as "a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology," according to the studio's announcement posted to their X page Monday. Zendaya, Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson along with Oscar-winners Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron are reportedly set to star in the film. Holland recently spoke about signing onto the project, saying on "The Dish" podcast last week that the film hasn't started shooting yet. He added that Nolan only "loosely pitched" it to him when they met to discuss the project, but that he still didn't know all the details. The "Spider-Man" actor also touched on working with his girlfriend Zendaya, joking that "studios love it" when they're on the same project because they only have to pay for "one hotel room." Pattinson, Damon and Hathaway have all previously appeared in Nolan's films, including "Tenet," "Interstellar" and "Oppenheimer." Nolan is also behind epic films including "Inception," "The Dark Knight," "Dunkirk" and his most recent film "Oppenheimer," which scored big at last year's Oscars when it took home the trophy for Best Picture. Nolan won that award as a producer and also took home the Academy Award for Best Director. According to Universal's social media announcement this week, "The Odyssey" will bring Homer's "foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time" and will open in theaters on July 17, 2026.Verve Therapeutics (NASDAQ:VERV) Stock Price Down 5.9% – Here’s What Happened

Ott Tanak has dramatically crashed out of the lead of Rally Japan which has handed Thierry Neuville the World Rally Championship and swung the manufacturers title battle towards Toyota. Tanak started Sunday with a 38 second rally lead over Toyota’s Elfyn Evans which he needed to maintain to keep his WRC title hopes alive. However, Sunday morning’s opening stage (Nukata, 20.23km) proved decisive in the outcome of the WRC drivers’ championship. Tanak was caught out by dirt on the road and understeered wide off the road at speed. It resulted in a heavy impact for his i20 N which suffered terminal damage. Tanak and co-driver Martin Jarveoja escaped the incident unscathed, but the retirement handed Hyundai team-mate Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe the championship. Neuville had started the day needing to score two points from Sunday’s offering of 12 points to claim the title. But Tanak’s crash means he can no longer be caught even if he fails to finish the rally, meaning the Belgian is now the 2024 world rally champion, clinching his maiden WRC title in dramatic fashion. The accident has swung the battle fir the manufacturers’ crown in Toyota’s direction with Tanak now surrendering his first place after Saturday’s classification, and will no longer be able to fight for Sunday points. The drama also means Toyota’s Elfyn Evans now leads the rally by 1m36.9s from team-mate and eight-time world champion Sebastian Ogier with M-Sport's Adrien Fourmaux in third. More to follow

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier said the country faces a “storm” in financial markets if an “unlikely but possible” alliance of lawmakers across the political spectrum rejects his government’s budget proposals and votes it out of power. The premier’s political survival hangs on whether French far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s will back a potential no-confidence vote when he presents final versions of the 2025 government and social-security budget bills in coming days and weeks. “There will probably be a rather serious storm and serious turbulences in financial markets” in case of a no-confidence vote, Barnier said in an interview with French TV channel TF1. “If the government falls, emergency measures will be taken,” which won’t cover the full year. Barnier went on TV after his boss, President Emmanuel Macron, reportedly said he believed that Le Pen would carry out her threats, and that Barnier would be out soon. Macron’s office denied he made such comments. The French prime minister also said he’ll probably have to use a constitutional provision known as 49.3 to bypass a parliamentary vote and adopt next year’s budget as his government lacks a majority in the lower house. But using the tool could lead to a no-confidence vote, which would need the backing of both the far right and the left-wing alliance New Popular Front to go through. Both groups have criticized Barnier’s budget proposals. Barnier repeated his aim to lower the budget deficit to about 5% of GDP next year, compared with 6.2% expected in 2024, through €60 billion in cuts and additional taxes. On Tuesday, the European Commission called his plan “realistic and credible.” This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.In a rapidly evolving tech landscape, Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) finds itself at a pivotal juncture against a backdrop of thriving AI-related stocks.

The iconic sitcom Malcolm in the Middle will hit screens for the first time in 18 years, with a limited run of four episodes set to premiere on Disney+ . Frankie Muniz, who will reprise his role as Malcolm, announced the reboot Friday, along with Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek, who play his parents. The original creator of the show will also return as a writer. The new series follows Malcolm returning home with his daughter for his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary, according to Deadline . Christopher Kennedy Masterson, who played the eldest brother Francis, and Justin Berfield, who played the middle child Reese, are likely to be asked to reprise their roles. Though it’s unlikely that Erik Per Sullivan, who plays the youngest brother Dewey, will make an appearance. He quit acting in 2010 and has not appeared at any reunions. Malcolm in the Middle first premiered on Fox in 2000 and ran for seven seasons. Its success as a family comedy is credited with paving the way for other single-camera sitcoms. Legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers is finally opening up about his strained relationship with his family. In his new documentary, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma , Rodgers explained that he has “stunted emotional intelligence” because of the lack of open emotion in his home growing up. “I think I saw my dad cry when my grandfather passed. And that might have been it,” Rodgers shared. “There wasn’t space for emotion.” Rodgers’ brother, Jordan, first opened up about the family’s rift during his time on The Bachelorette in 2016. During a hometown date with his now-wife JoJo Fletcher, the family explained that while they “miss” Rodgers, they no longer have a relationship with him. In a 2017 profile with The New York Times , Rodgers’ father, Ed, confirmed that he hadn’t spoken to his son in three years. “Fame can change things,” he said. At the time, Rodgers said he didn’t want to talk about his family publicly. In the doc, Rodgers spoke about his family while participating in an ayahuasca ceremony. The quarterback said the psychedelic drug allows users to “model a new way of thinking about masculinity, or what it means to be a man.” Scouted selects products independently.

Released bodycam footage shows Paris Hilton’s ex-fiancé, Chris Zylka, in a chaotic brawl with police after a failed carjacking. Police in a Cleveland suburb first responded to reports of a shirtless, barefoot man walking in traffic in freezing temperatures on Dec. 4, local outlet WKBN first reported. Zylka was found in the middle of an intersection, where he allegedly tried to break into a woman’s car. He pointed a cell phone at the cops and began foaming at the mouth, leading officers to believe he was under the influence of drugs, according to the police report. Footage shows Zylka struggling with police officers and resisting arrest even after being tasered in the leg twice. He was then put in an ambulance by paramedics. The actor is now facing felony charges of assault and attempt to commit an offense, as well as misdemeanor disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and aggravated menacing. Hilton and Zylka started dating in 2017 after being friends for years. He proposed in early 2018 during a ski trip in Aspen, Colorado, but they called off their engagement in November that same year. Vanderpump Rules alum James Kennedy is refusing to apologize for his domestic violence arrest . “We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” Kennedy’s attorneys said in a statement to the Daily Mail . “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.” Police were called to Kennedy’s home on Tuesday because of an argument between Kennedy and a woman. That night, Kennedy attended Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party with girlfriend Ally Lewber, though it’s unknown if she is the victim. Police told People that after an investigation, they arrested the reality star for misdemeanor domestic violence. He later posted $20,000 bail. A source at the Christmas party told People that Kennedy was acting “super aggressive.” “He was acting so erratic, running back and forth to the bar and body-checking people along the way,” the source alleged. “He appeared inebriated. Spent the evening mostly alone but when he did speak to people, he appeared irritated and rude.” A doctor has rubbished Brandi Glanville’s scary medical theory about her “deflated” face , saying he’s concerned about an infection that started via an injection. The 52-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum claims doctor s told her that it may have been caused by “a parasite that jumps around my face.” But Dr. Terry Dubrow, from Botched , has said he’s “concerned about an infectious process”. He told TMZ : “It’s an infectious process or a foreign body reaction to something she’s had injected.” A foreign body reaction is the response of biological tissue to any foreign material in the tissue, despite it often being inert and nontoxic, according to ScienceDirect.com Dubrow added: “Brandi needs a diagnosis... she has to figure out if there’s a microorganism in there. It’s not gonna be a parasite, it’s not gonna be something she ate... it’s going to be something that got into her bloodstream though, and seeded some foreign body.” Dubrow thinks Glanville either has a micro bacterium, a type of bacteria, or a fungus, a type of organism. Sick it! pic.twitter.com/hrtAzRwOCW A Buckingham Palace maid was arrested this week after she allegedly went “crazy” following a staff Christmas party which saw glasses and punches thrown in a London bar. A report in The Sun said as many as 50 royal servants gathered for an after-party following drinks at the palace Tuesday when the maid, 24, took a swing at a bar manager, threw glasses, and was ultimately arrested for common assault, criminal damage, and being drunk and disorderly. She was released after 24 hours with a fine. “The group walked in and this one girl just got hysterical,” a source told The Sun . “She started smashing glasses and abusing our staff members, so we had to call the police. I’ve never seen one person get that crazy during a night out. She was on another level.” A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “We are aware of an incident outside the workplace involving a number of Household staff who had previously attended an early evening reception at the Palace. While this was an informal social gathering, not an official palace Christmas party, the facts will be fully investigated, with a robust disciplinary process followed in relation to individual staff and appropriate action taken.” Scouted selects products independently.

Apparently, boosting prostate health can actually be pleasurable—at least, that’s what premium sexual wellness brand MysteryVibe says. The Molto, an ultra-slim and bendable prostate vibrator designed by a doctor, is engineered to be the same size and width as a doctor’s finger and to mimic similar motions to that performed during an exam, allowing for not only intense prostate (the prostate is often hailed as the male ‘G-spot’) and anal stimulation but also a release of prostatic fluids. According to the brand, some studies have found that excess prostatic fluid can lead to inflammation and pressure, so not only is this a sex toy , but it’s also possibly an investment in your prostate health. Think of it almost like a lymphatic massage for your prostate—except one that can give you intense orgasms, too. Made with body-safe silicone, the multifunctional and gender-fluid vibrator is powered by one “anatomically-placed” motor that delivers potent yet precise vibration to the anus and prostate without feeling bulky or inflexible. It’s a great sex toy for those new to anal play or who are looking for an ultra-sleek vibrator with possible health-boosting benefits. The prostate vibrator is equipped with 16 vibration settings and eight pre-set vibration patterns, allowing for superior control and customization. Plus, the device comes with access to a catalog of vibration patterns with the free MysteryVibe smartphone app. Best of all? Because the Molto vibrator is an FDA-registered class II medical device, it’s also FSA/HSA eligible. Is Melania Trump finally back in action? The incoming first lady is joining Donald Trump on Sunday for a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Akie Abe, the widow of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, according to reports. Her husband, who was assassinated at a political rally in 2022, reportedly won over Trump during his first term with the proven combination of golf and flattery. Trump and Akie Abe have stayed close, with the president-elect regularly calling her to check in, a source told CNN. Melania Trump is scheduled to attend Sunday’s dinner, her latest public appearance after being largely absent on the campaign trail earlier this year. She also accompanied her husband to the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday for Trump’s ringing of the opening bell. Melania has always been a somewhat reluctant first lady, and it’s still not clear how much time she plans to spend in Washington after Trump takes office in January. She did, however, tell Fox & Friends last week that at least she knows what to expect this time around. Trump is set to have a private dinner this Sunday with Akie Abie, the widow of the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a person familiar says. The dinner will take place at Mar-a-Lago and Melania Trump is expected to attend. Trump and Mrs. Abe have maintained a close... The woman who accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape in 2006 has admitted she fabricated the entire story—18 years after her case captivated the nation before quickly falling apart. Crystal Mangum, the woman at the center of the scandal who is serving a prison sentence for the murder of her boyfriend years later, confessed to lying about the assaults in a new podcast interview. “I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t and that was wrong, and I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me, and made up a story that wasn’t true because I wanted validation from people and not from God,” Mangum told the podcast Let’s Talk with Kat . Mangum, who was working as an exotic dancer who performed at a lacrosse team party in March 2006, called the three lacrosse players she previously accused her “brothers,” and asked for their forgiveness. “I hurt my brothers, and I hope that they can forgive me, and I want them to know that I love them and they didn’t deserve it. I hope they can forgive me.” The charges against the three lacrosse players were dropped by then-North Carolina Attorney General (and current Governor) Roy Cooper in 2007. The Durham County prosecutor who charged the Duke students was eventually disbarred and convicted of contempt of court for giving the defense incomplete DNA test results that would have excluded the lacrosse players, local station WRAL reported at the time. More than 18 years after the Duke lacrosse allegations, Crystal Mangum admits that she made it all up. "I testified falsely against [the lacrosse players] by saying that they raped me when they didn't...I made up a story that wasn't true...I hope that they can forgive me." pic.twitter.com/3yMjbQTQXH
