NEW YORK (AP) — A man accused of setting a woman on fire inside a New York City subway train and then watching her die after she was engulfed in flames made an initial court appearance Tuesday and will remain in custody. Sebastian Zapeta, 33, who federal immigration officials said is a Guatemalan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally, was arraigned in Brooklyn criminal court. He appeared briefly before a judge and wore a white jumpsuit over a weathered black hooded sweatshirt. He did not speak. He will remain jailed ahead of his next court date on Friday. The apparently random attack occurred Sunday morning on a stationary F train at the Coney Island station in Brooklyn. Police said Tuesday that identification of the victim was still “pending at this time.” Authorities say Zapeta approached the woman, who was sitting motionless in the train car and may have been sleeping, and used a lighter to set her clothing on fire. The woman quickly became engulfed in flames, while the suspect then sat at a bench on the subway platform and watched, according to police. Video posted to social media appeared to show the woman standing inside the train ablaze as some people look on from the platform, and at least one officer walks by. NYPD Chief of Transit Joseph Gulotta said Sunday that several officers had 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. They were eventually able to douse the fire, but “unfortunately, it was too late,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said — the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. During Zapeta's court hearing on Tuesday, Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg said Zapeta at one point fanned the flames on the woman using his shirt. He said a 911 call from a subway rider helped identify Zapeta. Rottenberg added that under interrogation Zapeta claimed he didn’t know what happened, noting that he consumes alcohol. But he alleged that Zapeta identified himself to interrogators in images related to the attack. Zapeta was taken into custody Sunday afternoon while riding a train on the same subway line after police got a tip from some teenagers who recognized 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. The shelter did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Federal immigration officials said Zapeta had been previously deported in 2018 but at some point reentered the U.S. illegally. In a statement, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez called the attack a “gruesome and senseless act of violence against a vulnerable woman” that would be “met with the most serious consequences.” The crime — and the graphic video of it that ricocheted across social media — deepened a growing sense of unease among some New Yorkers about the safety of the subway system in a city where many residents take the subway multiple times each day. Overall, according to authorities, crime is down in the transit system this year when compared to last year — major felonies declined 6% between January and November of this year and in 2023, data compiled by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority show. But murders are up, with nine killings this year through November compared to five in the same period last year. Earlier this month, a Manhattan jury acquitted Daniel Penny in the death of an agitated subway rider that the former Marine placed in a chokehold last year. The case became a flashpoint in ongoing debates over safety, homelessness and mental illness on the system. Policing the subway is also difficult, given the vast network of trains constantly moving between the system’s 472 stations, with each stop containing multiple entry points and, in many stations, multiple floors and platforms. On Sunday, police at the station where the woman burned to death were patrolling a different area and responded after seeing and smelling smoke, authorities said.‘Living Nostradamus’ makes grim predictionElliot Page Promotes Sex-Mutilating Drugs, Surgeries for Minors Outside Supreme Court: ‘I Was a Trans Kid’

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? Christopher Nolan is following his Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer” with a true epic: Homer’s “The Odyssey.” It will open in theaters on July 17, 2026, Universal Pictures said Monday. Details remain scarce, but the studio teased that it will be a “mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX technology.” It will also be the first time that an adaptation of Homer’s saga will play on IMAX film screens. Nolan has been an IMAX enthusiast for years, going back to “The Dark Knight,” and has made his last three films exclusively using large format film and the highest resolution film cameras. For “Oppenheimer,” the first black-and-white IMAX film stock was developed. Nolan hasn’t said specifically what the new technology for “The Odyssey” will be, but earlier this month he told The Associated Press that they’re in an intensive testing phase with IMAX to prepare for the new production. “They have an incredible engineering staff, really brilliant minds doing extraordinary work,” Nolan said. “It’s wonderful to see innovation in the celluloid film arena still happening and happening at the highest level possible.” “The Odyssey” will be Nolan’s second collaboration with Universal Pictures following “Oppenheimer,” which earned nearly $1 billion at the box office and won the filmmaker his first Oscars, including for best director and best picture. Rumors about his next project have been swirling ever since, with near-daily speculations about plot — none of which turned out to be true — and casting. While there are many reports about actors joining the ensemble, none has been officially confirmed by the studio. AdvertisementAmber Heard is expecting her second child. A spokesperson for the Aquaman actor confirmed the news in a statement to People magazine. “It is still quite early in the pregnancy, so you will appreciate that we do not want to go into much detail at this stage,” the spokesperson said. “Suffice to say that Amber is delighted both for herself and Oonagh Paige.” Heard welcomed her three-year-old daughter , Oonagh, via surrogate back in April 2021. She first announced the news in an Instagram post, explaining that her decision to have a child dated back “four years.” “Four years ago, I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms. I now appreciate how radical it is for us as women to think about one of the most fundamental parts of our destinies in this way,” the caption read. She noted wanting to normalize being a single mother and “not wanting a ring in order to have a crib.” The actor added that she would normally want this aspect of her life to remain private, but because of her job, it wasn’t possible. “I also get that the nature of my job compels me to take control of this,” her caption ended as she revealed her daughter’s name. Over the years, Heard has provided various updates about Oonagh on social media. Heard was previously married to actor Johnny Depp from 2015 to 2017. In 2022, the two of them ended up in a public legal battle when Depp sued her in March 2019 for $50 million for defamation over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post . Depp had not been directly named in the article, but his legal team had argued there was a “clear implication that Mr Depp is a domestic abuser.” After six weeks in court, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor won the case as the jury declared Heard had defamed Depp on all three counts. He was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages. In June 2022, Heard revealed to Today ’s Savannah Guthrie if she would ever tell her daughter about the trial. “I think no matter what, it will mean something,” Heard said. “I did the right thing. I did everything I could to stand up for myself and the truth.” At the time, she also revealed that she planned on being a mother full-time. “I get to be a mom, like, full-time, you know?” she said when asked about how she saw her future. “Where I’m not having to juggle calls with lawyers.” Heard went on to resort to a more private life as she sold her home in California and moved to Madrid, Spain .
If you are on the lookout for some big returns, then the ASX 200 stock in this article could be a good option. That's the view of analysts at Bell Potter, which have reaffirmed their buy rating this morning. Which ASX 200 stock? The stock in question is ( ). It is a global financial services company operating in asset management, financial advisory, and trustee services. Earlier this year, the company revealed that it has decided to become a pure-play global asset management business and will be selling its Wealth Management and Corporate Trust businesses (and the Perpetual name) to private equity firm KKR for $2.175 billion. Bell Potter is very supportive of this deal and believes it will create value for investors. In relation to the sale, this morning it spoke about three reasons why it thinks investors should be buying this ASX 200 stock. Time to buy Commenting on the year ahead, the broker said: Looking forward to 2025, investors should have three questions to ask about PPT. 1/ When will the tax ruling on the demerger be out? 2/ Depending on the previous question when and will the demerger happen? 3/ What are shareholders left with and how much is it worth? Speaking about the impending tax ruling and time taken for a decision to be announced, Bell Potter adds: The length of time taken so far may reflect that any proposals are not acceptable to both PPT and the ATO. The company have given a range for the tax ruling of $106m-227m, and we expect shareholders would accept this range. Will it happen? If the ATO are pushing for more than $227m, then this should be put to shareholders, who could potentially vote against the Scheme. This might sound bad, but the equity market is now around 10% higher than it was in May, when KKR's price of $2,175m was agreed. These are good businesses and given the market, should be worth more now. Retaining them, and the Perpetual brand may be a preferable outcome to paying more than $227m in tax to the ATO. In respect to its valuation, Bell Potter believes the sum of its parts of this ASX 200 stock is worth far more than its market price. It explains: We value the asset management business at 6.5x EBITDA, using a higher and lower value of EBITDA including stranded costs. This gives a value for the asset management business of between $15.16-16.15 per share. Adding the range of cash proceeds of $8.38-$9.82 per share as provided by the company gives a value for the business of $23.55-$25.98 per share. Taking an average of these gives a value of $24.76 per share. It is for this reason that Bell Potter has a buy rating and $24.76 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of 13.5% for investors from current levels. It also estimates that a 6.7% is coming in FY 2025, boosting the total potential return beyond 20%. It then concludes: We reiterate our BUY on PPT for three reasons. Firstly, an imminent tax ruling is likely to be positive, but no tax ruling might not be bad news. Secondly, reducing the cost base and clarity about costs should start to see forecasts rising. Thirdly, the recent share price movements (following the Chris Kourtis presentation) highlight the upside from a small positive change in sentiment.
Kate's carol service message: You were by my sideKatie was removed by officers from a shop in Lisburn The Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland have been ‘notified of an incident’ after a young autistic woman was removed from a retail store by PSNI officers in Lisburn earlier this month. Police have also met with the family of the woman in question, but said that the case has not been referred to the Ombudsman “because there is any suspected criminality or inappropriate behaviour which would justify disciplinary proceedings”. Eileen Mitchell said her 19-year old sister, Katie - who is non-verbal, autistic and has learning difficulties - was removed from a branch of the second-hand electronics shop CEX in Lisburn, and was left ‘traumatised’ by the event. Footage of the incident has been widely shared online, and several political representatives have since expressed concern. On Saturday evening, Lisburn and Castlereagh District Commander, Superintendent Kelly Moore said: “We are aware of video footage which is circulating on social media in which officers are seen to be carrying a female from a shop. “Police were called by the female’s mother to provide assistance in the Bow Street area of Lisburn at 6.15pm on Sunday 22nd December. The shop was closing its shutters when a female entered the premises. Officers attended and after discussions with family and staff members for approximately 20 minutes, a 19-year-old female with complex needs was removed from the shop by a family member, assisted by police. One officer was injured during the course of the incident. “This was a very difficult and complex set of circumstances for everyone involved and I have spoken to the family today to discuss their concerns. As an organisation we are committed to continuous learning and any feedback will be reviewed and considered. Our officers are routinely called to challenging situations and as in this case we will always seek a patient approach when dealing with people with complex needs. “The Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland has been notified of this incident, not because there is any suspected criminality or inappropriate behaviour which would justify disciplinary proceedings, but owing to the widespread public concern and media attention surrounding the release of a short video clip of a few seconds of this incident.” This afternoon, deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly said her party had contacted police on the matter. “Many will be aware of a very troubling incident recorded in Lisburn before Christmas,” she said. “Many have contacted me, sending the clip and expressing serious concerns. "Please be assured, we have reached out and also have contacted the PSNI in relation to the incident.” Earlier, explaining what happened, Ms Mitchell said her sister had entered the shop after she spotted a DVD she wished to purchase, but was told by staff that a sale was not possible as the registers had been taken off due to closing. She shared an image of Kate standing at the till, alongside a video in which she is being carried by several police officers out the front door of the shop. Katie was removed by officers from a shop in Lisburn Watch: Police remove autistic girl from Lisburn shop The post has nearly 10,000 likes and over 8,000 shares, while the group NI Disability and Carers shared the post saying they “have no words” and tagged Chief Constable Jon Boutcher asking him if the response from the officers in the video was acceptable. Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, Eileen said Katie didn’t understand the situation which occurred after she spotted a DVD she wished to purchase of her favourite cartoon series Thomas the Tank Engine, and hit out at how it was handled by the retailer. “It’s shocking, it’s like something you would have expected 20 years ago, but it’s coming into 2025 and things like this are still happening to vulnerable people,” said Eileen who said she believes it was her parents who called the police in the hopes of helping de-escalating the situation. CEX has been contacted for comment. “To be honest, Katie was very traumatised over this for a long time, it was the shock of it. We don’t know what long term impact it will have, we’re scared Katie will now react if she sees a police officer when out shopping, or if she sees another one of these shops. “I don’t think we can take her shopping in Lisburn either, it’s so traumatic for her. “You just assume that you can call the police in a crisis, and they’ll be able to help and be aware of how to handle vulnerable people, and help the situation.” After the incident, Eileen claims her sister was carried outside of the shop, before she was set down. The police and shop staff then left, as Katie and Eileen’s father attempted to help her. She also said her father stepped in after the incident because he was concerned that due to her low weight, Katie would be hurt when being carried by the officers. “The worst part of it was that she was just left outside the store and everyone just walked off,” she added. “We did hear from the police on Christmas Day who contacted us who told us that it was basically my mum and dads fault - as well as Katie’s fault. They were blaming them.” The family said they have not received any further response from the police. “I shared the video because of how my parents and Katie have been since, they’re really in shock about it all. The fact that several police officers needed to remove a young girl because of a £2 DVD. At the time when Katie wanted to buy it, my mum also said she begged with the shop to do anything that would help, like bringing back the DVD the next day to scan it, or letting them keep the box so the sale could be processed in the morning. “I think we just need more common sense, and a better approach for disabled and vulnerable adults.” The incident comes weeks after the PSNI launched training webinars for police officers in partnership Autism NI . An aspect of the training was to “focus on understanding and responding to the needs of autistic members of the public whilst on duty.” At the time, Autism NI praised the partnership and said it was “ great to see” the organisation's “commitment to supporting both autistic members of the public and autistic staff members”. Sinn Féin councillor Gary McCleave said he had also contacted the PSNI over the incident. “I have made contact with the PSNI regarding this incident,” he said. “This incident highlights the importance that shops and people who work in the public sector receive appropriate training. “I will be speaking with my colleagues who will be raising it with the policing board.” Lagan Valley MP Sorcha Eastwood also said she had contacted the family. "Folks, regarding a video of an incident last week in Lisburn, I've made contact with all parties concerned this evening,” she said. “In order to respect privacy and process, I will not be commenting further. Please rest assured that we are supporting the family and will be following through.” We need your consent to load this Social Media content.

BTFD Coin Offering Big50, Pepe Coin Rising, AI Companions Gaining Making These The Top New Meme Coins to Invest in This Week
US stocks rallied in the final, shortened trading session before the Christmas holiday. The benchmark S&P 500 ( ^GSPC ) climbed about 0.7%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ( ^IXIC ) rose roughly 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ( ^DJI ) edged up around 0.4%. Wall Street looks set to enter its Christmas break rejuvenated, after tech stocks including AI chip giant Nvidia ( NVDA ) led the march higher on Monday . Markets close at 1 p.m. ET today and are off tomorrow for Christmas Day. Sizable gains on Friday and Monday have put the indexes back on the path toward their record highs, from which they took a Fed-fueled nosedive last week. Wall Street is reassessing the path of interest rates next year as it grapples with the reality that the Fed mostly pulled off a so-called soft landing — but couldn't fully shake the US economy's inflation problem. According to the CME FedWatch tool, most bets are on two coming holds at the Fed's January and March meetings, followed by a toss-up in May. Meanwhile, many eyes continue to be trained on Nvidia, which saw a more than 3.5% gain on Monday. As Yahoo Finance's Dan Howley writes , 2024 was Nvidia's year, with the stock up some 180%. But 2025 could contain plenty of challenges. President Biden is set to decide the fate of Japanese-owned Nippon Steel's ( NISTF , 5401.T ) $15 billion bid for US Steel ( X ). The Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS) referred the deal to Biden on Monday after failing to reach a consensus. The president has 15 days to review the deal, which he has long opposed. Despite the deal's uncertainty, shares of US Steel Corporation ( X ) edged higher on Tuesday, rising just under 1%. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ), one of the biggest beneficiaries of the post-election rally, rose over 5% to trade above $98,000 a coin. Although the crypto lost some momentum after hitting above $100,000 earlier this month, investors and analysts remain mostly bullish heading into 2025. Trump's win in November pushed bitcoin prices to all-time highs in the immediate aftermath of the election, with the administration viewed as generally more friendly to the alternative asset class. In July, Trump attended a bitcoin conference in Nashville and has since pledged to usher in more supportive regulation . His promises also included appointing a crypto Presidential Advisory Council and firing current SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who announced he would step down on Jan. 20. Other cryptocurrencies and crypto-adjacent names echoed bitcoin's moves to the upside. Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) rose about 7% to trade around $3,500 a coin. Meanwhile, shares of MicroStrategy ( MSTR ), which owns nearly 280,000 bitcoins, rose around 6%. The company recently announced the purchase of an additional 51,780 bitcoins for $4.6 billion. MicroStrategy now holds $16.5 billion worth of bitcoin. Coinbase ( COIN ), which allows crypto trading on its platform, saw shares rise nearly 3%. It's the start of the so-called Santa Claus rally. Historically, the stock market has seen gains from the last five trading sessions of December through the first two trading days of January. So far, markets are embracing the Christmas spirit, with all three major indexes trading firmly in the green. The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the way higher in late morning trade, up about 1%. Tesla ( TSLA ), Arm Holdings ( ARM ), and Broadcom ( AVGO ) saw the largest gains within the index, rising 5%, 4%, and 3%, respectively. Most sectors also traded in the green, with Consumer Discretionary ( XLY ), Energy ( XLE ), and Tech ( XLK ) the three biggest gainers of the morning session. Health care ( XLV ) was the biggest laggard, dragged down by drug manufacturer Viatris ( VTRS ) and insurance company Cigna ( CI ). American Airlines ( AAL ) briefly grounded all flights nationwide due to a technical issue earlier this morning. The FAA lifted the ground stop at around 8 a.m. ET. American Airlines said in a statement that "a vendor technology issue briefly affected flights this morning. That issue has been resolved, and flights have resumed." The ground stop lasted for about an hour. Shares initially fell over 5% in premarket trading on the news. They've since recovered most of those losses, but are still down a little over 1% shortly after the opening bell. The development comes during a busy holiday travel day with the TSA expecting to screen nearly 30 million people from Dec. 19 through Jan. 2. In the final sprint to the Christmas holiday, markets added to gains. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ( ^IXIC ) led the way higher, rising roughly 0.3%. The benchmark S&P 500 ( ^GSPC ) edged up about 0.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average ( ^DJI ) hugged the flatline. Markets close at 1 p.m. ET today and are off tomorrow for Christmas Day. Christmas Eve — Markets close at 1 p.m. ET Economic data : Building permits (November); Durable Goods Orders (November); New homes sales (November); New home sales (November) Earnings : No notable earnings Here are some of the biggest stories you may have missed overnight and early this morning: Nvidia dominated 2024 big-time.
