The UK Government was warned that a “save David campaign” for UUP leader Lord Trimble would ruin progress made under the Good Friday Agreement. Extensive confidential documents in the lead-up to the collapse of Northern Ireland’s institutions in 2002 have been made available to the public as part of annual releases from the Irish National Archives. They reveal that the Irish Government wanted to appeal to the UK side against “manipulating” every scenario for favourable election results in Northern Ireland, in an effort to protect the peace process. In the years after the landmark 1998 Good Friday Agreement, a number of outstanding issues left the political environment fraught with tension and disagreement. Mr Trimble, who won a Nobel Peace Prize with SDLP leader John Hume for their work on the Agreement, was keen to gain wins for the UUP on policing, ceasefire audits and paramilitary disarmament – but also to present his party as firmer on these matters amid swipes from its Unionist rival, the DUP. These issues were at the front of his mind as he tried to steer his party into Assembly elections planned for May 2003 and continue in his role as the Executive’s first minister despite increasing political pressure. The documents reveal the extent to which the British and Irish Governments were trying to delicately resolve the contentious negotiations, conscious that moves seen as concessions to one group could provoke anger on the other side. In June 2002, representatives of the SDLP reported to Irish officials on a recent meeting between Mr Hume’s successor Mark Durkan and Prime Minister Tony Blair on policing and security. Mr Blair is said to have suggested that the SDLP and UUP were among those who both supported and took responsibility for the Good Friday Agreement. The confidential report of the meeting says that Mr Durkan, the deputy First Minister, was not sure that Mr Trimble had been correctly categorised. The Prime Minister asked if the SDLP could work more closely with the UUP ahead of the elections. Mr Durkan argued that Mr Trimble was not only not saleable to nationalists, but also not saleable to half of the UUP – to which Mr Blair and Northern Ireland Secretary John Reid are said to have laughed in agreement. The SDLP leader further warned that pursuing a “save David” campaign would ruin all they had worked for. Damien McAteer, an adviser for the SDLP, was recorded as briefing Irish officials on September 10 that it was his view that Mr Trimble was intent on collapsing the institutions in 2003 over expected fallout for Sinn Fein in the wake of the Colombia Three trial, where men linked to the party were charged with training Farc rebels – but predicted the UUP leader would be “in the toilet” by January, when an Ulster Unionist Council (UUC) meeting was due to take place. A week later in mid September, Mr Trimble assured Irish premier Bertie Ahern that the next UUC meeting to take place in two days’ time would be “okay but not great” and insisted he was not planning to play any “big game”. It was at that meeting that he made the bombshell announcement that the UUP would pull out of the Executive if the IRA had not disbanded by January 18. The move came as a surprise to the Irish officials who, along with their UK counterparts, did not see the deadline as realistic. Sinn Fein described the resolution as a “wreckers’ charter”. Doubts were raised that there would be any progress on substantive issues as parties would not be engaged in “pre-election skirmishing”. As that could lead to a UUP walkout and the resulting suspension of the institutions, the prospect of delaying the elections was raised while bringing forward the vote was ruled out. Therefore, the two Governments stressed the need to cooperate as a stabilising force to protect the Agreement – despite not being sure how that process would survive through the January 18 deadline. The Irish officials became worried that the British side did not share their view that Mr Trimble was not “salvageable” and that the fundamental dynamic in the UUP was now Agreement scepticism, the confidential documents state. In a meeting days after the UUC announcements, Mr Reid is recorded in the documents as saying that as infuriating as it was, Mr Trimble was at that moment the “most enlightened Unionist we have”. The Secretary said he would explore what the UUP leader needed to “survive” the period between January 18 and the election, believing a significant prize could avoid him being “massacred”. Such planning went out the window just weeks later, when hundreds of PSNI officers were involved in raids of several buildings – including Sinn Fein’s offices in Stormont. The resulting “Stormontgate” spy-ring scandal accelerated the collapse of powersharing, with the UUP pulling out of the institutions – and the Secretary of State suspending the Assembly and Executive on October 14. For his part, Irish officials were briefed that Mr Reid was said to be “gung ho” about the prospect of exercising direct rule – reportedly making no mention of the Irish Government in a meeting with Mr Trimble and Mr Durkan on that day. The Northern Ireland Secretary was given a new role and Paul Murphy was appointed as his successor. A note on speaking points for a meeting with Mr Murphy in April showed that the Irish side believed the May elections should go ahead: “At a certain stage the political process has to stand on its own feet. “The Governments cannot be manipulating and finessing every scenario to engineer the right result. “We have to start treating the parties and the people as mature and trusting that they have the discernment to make the right choices.” However, the elections planned for May did not materialise, instead delayed until November. Mr Trimble would go on to lose his Westminster seat – and stewardship of the UUP – in 2005. The November election saw the DUP emerge as the largest parties – but direct rule continued as Ian Paisley’s refused to share power with Sinn Fein, which Martin McGuinness’ colleagues. The parties eventually agreed to work together following further elections in 2007. – This article is based on documents in 2024/130/5, 2024/130/6, 2024/130/15 We do not moderate comments, but we expect readers to adhere to certain rules in the interests of open and accountable debate.Government wants to know what is holding back women from local councilsHabitat for Humanity CEO remembers Jimmy Carter's impact on homebuilding in MilwaukeeDespite rebounding on Wednesday, the Canadian dollar continues to face pressure after U.S. president-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian imports. The loonie hovered around 71.10 cents USD in early-morning trading, reaching as high as 71.36 cents USD by 10:30 ET. However, some economists warn there are few reasons for optimism that the uptick will be prolonged considering the widespread impacts hefty tariffs would have on the Canadian economy. "It's going to lead to slower economic growth, possibly higher inflation, possibly higher unemployment and so, again, if you're looking to invest your money in any currency in the world, Canada doesn't look all that attractive," said Concordia University Economics Professor Moshe Lander. "When the demand for the Canadian dollar falls, so does its price." It's not a foregone conclusion that a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian exports to the U.S. will be put in place. Trump said the measure is meant as retaliation for illegal immigration and "crime and drugs" crossing the border. Still, the possibility of hefty tariffs has been enough to send the loonie on a downward trajectory. The dollar's five-year high came back in May 2021 at around 83 cents USD before tumbling nearly 14 per cent to just 71 cents USD. The Canadian dollar's five-year high came back in May 2021 at around 83 cents USD before tumbling nearly 14 per cent to just 71 cents USD. For Canadian travellers heading south of the border, the exchange rate is a bitter pill to swallow. "It's a heavy cost. I spent over $800 CAD to get around $500 USD so, it's a heavy hit," said Jimmy Hong who was flying from Ottawa to Las Vegas Wednesday afternoon. "We'll be going to maybe one less show, maybe watching our money on where we eat, specifically, because the dollar exchange is just way too much." It's a similar story for Nancy Quattrocchi, who was born in the U.S. but now calls Canada home. "I think it's going to affect probably how many times we visit the U.S. or any place that uses the U.S. dollar," she said. More aggressive interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada compared to the U.S. Federal Reserve has also impacted the loonie, but Lander says, tariffs would be a more significant gut punch. "If you're a Canadian business, you have three options at this point," he said. "One is, lower profitability, which could be the difference between being in business or being out of business. Lower pay for your workers and make them pay for the tariff in the form of lower wages or pass it on to your consumers and make them pay higher prices."

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has given Elon Musk until Monday to respond to an offer to resolve a probe into the billionaire's $44-billion takeover of Twitter in 2022, Reuters reported quoting a source. The development, which signals the investigation may be nearing a conclusion, is the latest salvo in a year-long public feud between the top U.S. markets regulator and the world's richest man, as per a Reuters report. Musk on Thursday posted on X a copy of a letter sent by his lawyer to SEC Chair Gary Gensler saying the agency had given Musk 48 hours to agree to pay a penalty to settle the probe or face civil charges, and demanding to know whether Gensler was personally behind the development. Elon Musk's Twitter Venture The SEC has been investigating whether Musk broke securities laws in 2022 when he bought stock in Twitter, which Musk subsequently renamed X, as well as statements and filings he made in relation to the deal, previous disclosures show. According to the source, the agency has been probing Musk's SEC filing disclosing his Twitter share purchases, which was at least 10 days late, and whether he intended to benefit from that delay, which some academics have estimated saved Musk over $140 million. As part of the probe, the agency had asked a federal court to compel Musk to testify after the billionaire failed to show up to agreed depositions.

A spokesperson with the SEC's public affairs office declined to comment. Musk's lawyer did not respond immediately to calls for comment. 48-Hour Deadline The SEC commonly tries to resolve probes through settlements rather than suing a defendant, but the initial 48-hour deadline was unusually tight, legal experts told Reuters. If Musk fails to respond, the SEC will likely proceed through a "Wells" notification process, a formal step in which the SEC outlines potential charges and allows Musk to respond, the source said. The Thursday letter Musk shared on X, which was signed by his attorney Alex Spiro, said the SEC has also reopened an investigation into Musk's brain-chip startup Neuralink. Neuralink did not respond to requests for comment. The nature of that inquiry is not clear, but U.S. lawmakers and animal-rights advocates have pressed the SEC to scrutinize comments Musk has made about the safety of Neuralink's implants. SEC After Elon Musk Since 2018 The SEC first sued Musk in 2018 during President-elect Donald Trump's first term, accusing him of breaking the law when he posted on social media that he had "funding secured" to take his electric carmaker Tesla private when the SEC found he had not. Despite ultimately settling and agreeing to an unusual arrangement requiring some of his posts to be vetted by an attorney, Musk subsequently disputed the SEC's findings in that case and has over the years accused the agency of harassment - claims Spiro reiterated in his Thursday letter. A major backer of Trump, Musk in the new administration will co-lead the new Department of Government Efficiency tasked with cutting government costs, potentially giving him some power over the SEC's workings. In his letter, Spiro intimated the SEC's bid to advance the probe may have been politically motivated. "We demand to know who directed these actions - whether it was you or the White House," Spiro wrote in the letter. But the source argued that failing to pursue what the SEC believes is a securities violation by Musk would in fact be the political move. FAQs What is new name of Twitter? New name of Twitter is 'X'.

AP Business SummaryBrief at 3:11 p.m. ESTST. PAUL, Minn. — Travis Dermott watched Thursday night’s Edmonton Oilers blowout of the Minnesota Wild from Xcel Energy Center, then hopped on the Oilers charter and landed in Alberta’s capital city at 1:30 a.m. MT. At noon MT Friday, Dermott was claimed off waivers by the Wild. In less than an hour, Dermott frantically packed and was in a car headed back to Edmonton’s airport for a flight to Denver first then another that would land him back in the Twin Cities just before midnight Friday night. Advertisement At 1 p.m. Saturday, exactly 24 hours after the Wild plucked him from the Oilers, Dermott is expected to play his first game in a month when the Wild try to avoid regulation losses for the first time this season when they drop the puck against the Philadelphia Flyers . But this is how desperate the Wild were for a left-shot defenseman. With Daemon Hunt now playing in Cleveland after being traded to Columbus last month for right-shot defenseman David Jiricek, the Wild’s injury to Jonas Brodin coupled with Jake Middleton suddenly being sidelined long-term following what league sources said was surgery Friday on at least a broken finger, the Wild were put in a position where they needed an NHL body that could play the left side. GO DEEPER Wild claim Travis Dermott off waivers after placing Jake Middleton on LTIR In fortunate timing, Dermott was placed on waivers Thursday by Edmonton after playing only 10 games this season and none since Nov. 19. After getting the X-ray results for Middleton, Wild president of hockey operations and general manager Bill Guerin gave Oilers GM Stan Bowman a heads-up that he may have to put in a claim for Dermott. The Wild were 31 st on the waiver priority list, so the team was actually on pins and needles Friday that they’d nab Dermott knowing there were other teams, like the New York Rangers , that could have use for a left-shot D. “Jake has been playing incredibly well, and he’s a big part of the team,” Guerin said Friday. “And, yeah, it’s disappointing. But it’s part of the game, and you have to do certain things to cover for guys. It’s not a season-long injury, but it’ll be significant time. And, yeah, it’s disappointing. But we picked up Travis today, and he’ll help. And he’s been a good player in the league for a long time now. He’s got over 300 games in the league, and he’ll help.” He’ll have to quickly shake off the rust. The Wild’s left-shot defensemen next to Brock Faber , Jared Spurgeon and Zach Bogosian are suddenly Dermott, Declan Chisholm and Jon Merrill . Advertisement Guerin did tell The Athletic that first-round pick Carson Lambos is playing much better in Iowa and his NHL debut may not be too far off. But to say depth is being strained is an understatement. The good news is the Wild hope Brodin, who has missed eight games with an upper-body injury, is closing in on a return. The Wild wouldn’t yet pronounce Brodin ready to return against the Flyers. In fact, considering the Wild play at 5 p.m. Sunday against the Vegas , it’s unlikely the Wild would want Brodin coming back for back-to-back games. So if he’s actually going to return this weekend, Sunday’s game makes the most sense. “I’ve seen him play since he was in Junior,” Guerin said of Dermott. “He brings good energy. He can skate well, he can move pucks. We really like him. (Assistant coach) Jason King had him for a short time (in Vancouver). I think he’s going to adapt well to the way we play. “I think just being a good skater and puck move, he’s been in the league long enough where he can adjust quickly. He’s played in several different systems and stuff. So I think he’ll be able to pick it up and just help us in that way.” Middleton was placed on long-term injured reserve. That means he has to miss 10 games and 24 days, whichever is longer. Since 10 games from now is less than 24 days, the soonest Middleton is eligible to return is 12 games from now, Jan. 7 against St. Louis . However, it sounds like Guerin expects him to be out longer. “I don’t think it’ll be (February or March),” he said, before adding sarcastically, “I’ve got to go back in my medical notes. See the history on these types of things. I don’t even want to guess. It’s probably week to week. That’s what I would guess, yeah.” Here is Jake Middleton’s injury. His night ended 37 seconds into his first shift. Struck on hand by one of the NHL’s hardest shooters pic.twitter.com/CmLT5RdQQ3 — Michael Russo (@RussoHockey) December 13, 2024 It is amazing how injuries are piling up with Brodin, Mats Zuccarello , Joel Eriksson Ek and now Middleton. These are all significant players who play significant roles, and sometimes timing is everything. It was not a good night to be playing the Oilers when you’re without your top checking center and most mobile defenseman, then lose Middleton one shift into the game. Advertisement But like Brodin, Zuccarello, who has also been on LTIR, is close to returning — maybe as soon as Saturday’s game against the Flyers. “Listen, it’s not a great spot,” Guerin said. “It’s kind of funny, the last couple of years it seems like it hasn’t been one injury, get a guy back, another injury. It’s like all at one time. That’s not great, but hopefully we’re getting guys back in the very near future and they can start to help and we just move on.” Fortunately for the Wild, they have put a lot of points in the bank — the second-most in the West. Middleton, who leads the NHL with a plus-22, is a mammoth loss though. He leads the Wild’s defensemen with five goals, ranks second with 13 points and may be the biggest character in the dressing room, so his loss will be felt in more areas than the ice. “Look, there’s nothing we can do,” Guerin said. “I can be as concerned as I want, it doesn’t change anything. ... I can’t control that, the players can’t control, the coaches can’t. The only thing we can control is our attitude, how we prepare for games, our confidence and you know what, we go out and try to win games. That’s it. There’s nothing else we can do. I just don’t like seeing our players hurt.” The unfortunate part of the Wild being stuck in LTIR is it stops the ability to accrue cap space for a potential trade deadline addition and could cause a cap overage that will lower the Wild’s cap ceiling next season, especially with Faber and Marco Rossi on pace to hit performance bonuses. Asked if he thinks this will hurt his trade deadline plans to possibly add a top-six forward, Guerin said, “Yeah, I mean, it probably will. And again, that’s just one of those things. We can’t control it. We’ve been doing our best to build up cap space as we go along. But things happen and we can’t necessarily control it all the time. We’ll see what we can do though. That’s a couple months away. So we’ll see.” (Photo of Jake Middleton: Matt Blewett / Imagn Images)

Respiratory tract disorders are medical conditions that affect the respiratory system. It includes asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer. Bronchoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic tool that can be used to evaluate and treat a variety of respiratory tract disorders; thus the rise in the prevalence of respiratory tract disorders leads to an increase in the bronchoscope market. For instance, in 2021, according to the report published by the National Center for Health Statistics, a US-based government agency that provides statistical information to guide actions and policies to improve the public health of the American people, the cause of deaths per 100,000 population in the US was 42.9 due to chronic lower respiratory diseases (including asthma) deaths as compared to 36.4 in 2020 which translates to 17.8% increase. Thus, the rise in the prevalence of respiratory tract disorders is expected to boost the bronchoscope market. Major companies operating in the bronchoscope market are developing new products such as single use bronchoscopes to gain a competitive edge in the market. Single-use bronchoscopes are medical devices designed for a one-time, disposable application in bronchoscopy procedures. For instance, in April 2021, Olympus Corporation, a Japan-based optics and reprography products company, launched the H-SteriScope Single-Use Bronchoscopes in the U.S. This new line consists of five premium endoscopes designed for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The H-SteriScope bronchoscopes offer flexibility and choice to physicians conducting procedures such as tissue biopsy and foreign body retrieval. These single-use bronchoscopes are part of Olympus's commitment to complement its product portfolio with disposable endoscopes to address specific procedure requirements, urgent procedure preparation, and improved workflow. The new line includes models with varying outer diameters and working channels, along with features comparable to traditional bronchoscopes, such as rotary function and tip angulation. The H-SteriScopes aim to enhance workflow, productivity, and patient care by offering convenient, portable, and premium disposable bronchoscopes.

Avior Wealth Management LLC Acquires Shares of 9,274 Invesco BulletShares 2032 Municipal Bond ETF (NASDAQ:BSMW)Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders escaped injury after he landed awkwardly following a low hit in the first half of the Buffaloes’ game vs. Kansas. Sanders got taken out at the knees by defensive end Dean Miller after he scrambled around for a long time and fired an incomplete pass toward Will Sheppard. Take a look at the hit, which was questionable at best and dirty at worst. Kansas with a big hit on Shedeur Sanders 😬 — FOX College Football (@CFBONFOX) A flag was thrown on the play, but officials quickly said that Miller’s hit was not roughing the passer and Colorado was instead flagged for having an offensive lineman down the field when Sanders threw the ball. The QB went to the sideline after the hit but immediately returned to the game and didn’t miss a play. Colorado ended up scoring on the drive after two great catches by freshman wide receiver Drelon Miller. He had a fantastic falling grab on the sideline before capping the drive with a 19-yard TD catch that cut Kansas’ lead to 20-14. After review the catch is confirmed for 👉 What a toe tap 🔥 — FOX College Football (@CFBONFOX) The Jayhawks added to the lead before halftime and took a 23-14 margin into the break. However, that nine-point lead came courtesy of three short field goals after Kansas couldn't convert three of its four red zone trips into touchdowns.
