76ers' star Paul George sidelined the next 2 games with bone bruise in left kneeStormont minister Maurice Morrow told an official he would not raise the issue with the Northern Ireland Executive, despite similar measures being considered in England and Wales. A file on planning arrangements for the jubilee celebrations reveals a series of civil service correspondences on how Northern Ireland would mark the occasion. It includes a letter sent on January 11 2001 from an official in the Office of the First Minister/Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) to the Department of Social Development, advising that a committee had been set up in London to consider a programme of celebrations. The correspondence says: “One of the issues the committee is currently considering is the possibility of deregulating liquor licensing laws during the golden jubilee celebrations on the same lines as the arrangements made for the millennium. “It is felt that the golden jubilee bank holiday on Monday 3 June 2002 is likely to be an occasion on which many public houses and similar licensed premises would wish to stay open beyond normal closing time.” The letter said a paper had been prepared on the issue of extending opening hours. It adds: “You will note that paragraph seven of the paper indicates that the devolved administrations ‘would need to consider deregulation separately within their own jurisdictions’. “I thought that you would wish to be aware that this issue is receiving active consideration for England and Wales and to consider whether anything needs to be done for Northern Ireland.” Some months later a “progress report” was sent between officials in OFMDFM, which again raised the issue of licensing laws. It says: “I spoke to Gordon Gibson, DSD, about Terry Smith’s letter of 12 January 2001 about licensing laws: the matter was put to their minister Maurice Morrow (DUP) who indicated that he would not be asking the NIE (Northern Ireland Executive) to approve any change to current licensing laws in NI to allow for either 24 hour opening (as at the millennium) nor a blanket approval for extended opening hours as is being considered in GB. “In both cases, primary legislation would be required here and would necessitate consultation and the minister has ruled out any consultation process.” The correspondence says individual licensees could still apply for an extension to opening hours on an ad hoc basis, adding “there the matter rests”. It goes on: “DSD await further pronouncements from the Home Office and Gibson and I have agreed to notify each other of any developments we become aware of and he will copy me to any (existing) relevant papers. “Ministers may well come under pressure in due course for a relaxation and/or parity with GB.” The document concludes “That’s it so far...making haste slowly?” Emails sent between officials in the department the same month said that lord lieutenants in Northern Ireland had been approached about local events to mark the jubilee. One message says: “Lord lieutenants have not shown any enthusiasm for encouraging GJ celebrations at a local level. “Lady Carswell in particular believes that it would be difficult for LLs to encourage such activities without appearing political.”

US President-elect Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte convened in Palm Beach, Florida, to deliberate on pressing global security issues, according to a Saturday statement from NATO. This marked Rutte's inaugural meeting with Trump following the latter's election win on November 5. Their discussion notably came against the backdrop of Trump's historical skepticism towards NATO, having previously criticized the defense spending levels of its member countries. In addition to discussions with Trump, Rutte's team engaged with Trump's national security team, including his national security adviser nominee, US Representative Michael Waltz. (With inputs from agencies.)President-elect Donald Trump responded to the widely reported internal investigation of longtime aide Boris Epshteyn. According to multiple media outlet and first reported by Just the News, a nonpartisan news media brand, attorneys for Trump conducted an internal investigation into allegations that Epshteyn has looked for financial gain from his influence with Trump. Trump told Just the News in a brief interview, "I suppose every President has people around them who try to make money off them on the outside. It's a shame but it happens," he said. "But no one working for me in any capacity should be looking to make money. They should only be here to Make America Great Again." He continued to Just the News: "No one can promise any endorsement or nomination except me. I make these decisions on my own, period." CNN reported that there were two specific instances where Epshteyn tried to gain financially from his connections with Trump. He reportedly asked Scott Bessent, Trump's nominee to become Secretary of Treasury, for payment in exchange for Epshteyn promoting Bessent's name around Mar-a-Lago. In addition, Epshteyn allegedly asked for payment to connect Bessent with people relevant to his industry in the incoming administration. CNN 's Sara Marray said half a dozen insiders confirmed these reports. Just the News, which reportedly reviewed documents related to the investigation, wrote that over a dozen candidates for congressional election or job seekers in the new Trump administration said Epshteyn pitched them for consulting work worth between $10,000 to $100,000 per month, dating back to 2022. Bessent, a hedge fund manager, was pitched on one of these consulting contracts. "As is standard practice, a broad review of the campaign's consulting agreements has been conducted and completed, including as to Boris, among others. We are now moving ahead together as a team to help President Trump Make America Great Again," Transition official Aaron Harison sent Just the News on behalf of Trump's spokesman Steven Cheung. Newsweek reached out to the Trump campaign for additional comment. Epshteyn denied the claims. "I am honored to work for President Trump and with his team," Epshteyn said in a statement to CNN. "These fake claims are false and defamatory and will not distract us from Making America Great Again." Epshteyn was previously a part of an alleged confrontation at Mar-a-Lago wit h billionaire Elon Musk . CNN reported that Epshteyn and Bessent also had a shouting match with Epshteyn threatening to sue Bessent. The fighting allegedly started over who Trump should pick for his Cabinet, Axios reported. Sources told the site that Musk was questioning whether Epshteyn had too much influence on Trump's selections. However, Musk was also pushing for his own favorites. At one point during the dinner, a "massive blowup" and a "huge explosion" took place after Musk allegedly accused Epshteyn of leaking details about Trump's transition plans. Epshteyn allegedly said he didn't know what Musk was talking about. According to Axios, the tension between the two has been brewing since before the November 5 election. Who Is Boris Epshteyn? Russian-American Epshteyn, who was born in Moscow before moving to the U.S., met Trump through his son, Eric Trump , whom he was friends with at Georgetown University, reported Politico. In 2008, Epshteyn served as the communications aide with former Senator John McCain and former Governor Sarah Palin campaign. In 2016, he acted as a senior adviser to Trump's campaign. Epshteyn joined Trump's 2016 campaign as a communications aide and appeared on television to defend the former president. Epshteyn later work as communications director for Trump's inaugural committee before later joining the 2020 campaign as an adviser for coalitions. Sinclair Broadcast Group hired Epshteyn in 2017 as a senior political analyst. His segment ended in 2019. For Trump's 2020 reelection campaign, Epshteyn served as the strategic adviser and co-chair of the Jewish Voices for Trump Advisory Board. He has remained by Trump's side now for many years and is considered a leading figure in the President-elect's inner circle. Epshteyn is believed to be the sixth co-conspirator included in a 2023 criminal indictment against the former president. In April, when Trump arrived in New York for his historic arraignment over falsifying business records charges, Epshteyn sat beside the former president in the courtroom as he pleaded not guilty to 34 charges.

Philips air fryer 'saves parents a month a year' and also has a steam functionMinutes of an Executive meeting from June of that year state further action would be considered “as appropriate” if the DUP went ahead with a threat to rotate its ministers. The minutes are within files which have been declassified at the Public Record Office in Belfast. Devolved powersharing had been restored to Northern Ireland in May 2000 when Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble had received the backing of his party to go back into the Assembly, despite there having been no decommissioning of IRA arms at that point. Then DUP deputy leader Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds took up the offices as ministers for regional development and social development, but refused to attend Executive meetings due to the presence of Sinn Fein ministers. The party also said it would rotate its ministerial posts to prevent other parties from taking them. A minute of an Executive meeting on June 8 said Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds had refused a request from First Minister Mr Trimble and deputy First Minister Seamus Mallon to meet with them “to discuss recent public comments by the DUP concerning their positions as ministers”. The minute records that the Executive endorsed a proposal from the First and deputy First Ministers to write again to the two DUP ministers setting out sanctions against them. It says: “The First Minister and and Deputy First Minister would assume responsibility for representing the Executive Committee on transport matters at the British-Irish Council in place of the Minister for Regional Development. “The Minister for Social Development and the Minister for Regional Development would not be nominated to attend meetings of the Joint Ministerial Committee. “Pending the receipt of satisfactory assurances from DUP Ministers regarding the confidentiality and integrity of Executive Committee business, the Minister for Social Development and Minister for Regional Development would not receive Executive Committee papers as of right. “The First Minister and Deputy First Minister would seek briefing, as appropriate, from officials in the Department for Regional Development and Department for Social Development.” The minute continues: “If the DUP carried out their threat to change the holders of the two Ministerial offices on a frequent basis, the Executive Committee would consider other action as appropriate.” Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds resigned as ministers on June 27 and were replaced by party colleagues Gregory Campbell and Maurice Morrow. A minute from an Executive meeting that day says: “The Executive Committee noted that the Minister for Social Development and Minister for Regional Development would be resigning their posts that afternoon, and expressed concern at the proposed rotation of the ministries held by their Party Members.”A pair of teams with minimal rest will face off in Nassau, Bahamas, on Sunday when No. 22 St. John takes on Georgia. St. John's (5-1), which will play its third game in four days, began the stretch in the Bahamas Championship on Thursday, dropping a heartbreaker to No. 13 Baylor. The Red Storm led by 18 in the first half before Baylor forced overtime. From there, St. John's rallied from five down with 1:47 left to send the game to a second overtime, where it saw Baylor knock down a pair of 3-pointers in the final seven seconds -- including Jeremy Roach's buzzer-beater -- to knock off the Red Storm 99-98. In the third-place game on Friday, St. John's breezed past Virginia 80-55. RJ Luis Jr. led the way with 18 points and four steals, followed by Kadary Richmond's 12 points, as the Red Storm took a one-point lead with 15:21 left in the first half and didn't trail again. "I'm really impressed with our guys, coming off a double-overtime, extremely emotional loss," St. John's head coach Rick Pitino said. "To respond that way was extremely impressive, both offensively and defensively." Pitino, in his second year with the Red Storm, was moved by something off the court on Friday, involving captain Zuby Ejiofor, who chipped in eight points, nine boards, two steals and two blocks. Ejiofor was serenaded by St. John's fans during the win, following his two missed free throws at the end of double overtime against Baylor. "When you've only been in a job for a year, you search for things you love about a place," Pitino said. "Tonight I found out what I love about St. John's. Our fans chanted Zuby's name the whole game, which doesn't happen anywhere else in America. I was really impressed with our fans and I thank them for making Zuby feel good, because he gives you all the energy." Luis leads the Red Storm with 17.3 points per game, followed by Ejiofor (10.7), Aaron Scott (10.5), Deivon Smith (10.3) and Richmond (10.2). Georgia enters Sunday's matchup looking to rebound from its first loss after falling to No. 15 Marquette 80-69 on Saturday. Georgia (5-1) battled back from a 15-point, second-half deficit, but was held to just three points over the final 4:57 in Saturday's loss. Blue Cain led the Bulldogs with a season-high 17 points, including five 3-pointers. "It's a process. It's a journey with this team," Bulldogs head coach Mike White said. "It's about continuing to make strides, continuing to protect our culture. ... At the end of the day, wins and losses are going to take care of themselves. We just have to embrace the process and enjoy it." Five-star freshman recruit Asa Newell was held to a season-low nine points but leads the team with 15.5 points per game. Silas Demary Jr. is second with 13.8. --Field Level Media

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had a pretty damning assessment of his team’s play in recent weeks. Nabers defended the team’s quarterback play, saying Daniel Jones and Tommy DeVito have not been the problem for the team. Instead, the rookie wide receiver labeled his team’s play as “soft” over the course of their six-game losing streak. “Soft as f–k,” Nabers said when asked to describe the loss. “It ain’t the quarterback. Same outcome when we had DJ at quarterback. I don’t know what it is. Everybody knows better than me. I know I’m tired of losing.” Malik Nabers is asked to describe the Giants' loss today: "Soft as f–k" pic.twitter.com/HnbrpoGYX0 — Giants Videos (@SNYGiants) November 24, 2024 Malik Nabers: “I know I’m tired of losing” Says it’s not the quarterback pic.twitter.com/CA6tH0r87x — Charlotte Carroll (@charlottecrrll) November 24, 2024 The Giants’ problems certainly run deeper than any one player. One former player suggested there was a culture problem in the building . Nabers might not mean the same thing, but there are certainly no positive connotations to labeling one’s own team “soft.” Nabers was one of the few Giants to put together an effective day in a 30-7 loss to Tampa Bay, catching six passes for 64 yards. He has made clear that he just wants the ball , so he probably isn’t going to throw DeVito under the bus for getting it to him.

A DUP minister rebuffed a suggestion that there could be an extension of pub opening hours in Northern Ireland to celebrate the golden jubilee of the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2002, declassified files show.
