All rights reserved.Australia's proposal to ban under-16s from social media platforms is "rushed", social media companies claimed Tuesday, expressing "serious concerns" about potential unintended consequences. The landmark legislation would force social media firms to prevent young teens from accessing their platforms or face fines of up to Aus$50 million (US$32.5 million). Platforms such as X, Snapchat, TikTok, and Meta have criticised the 24-hour time frame given for stakeholder comments, claiming a lack of consultation and inadequate details about how the legislation would work. X said in its submission that it had "serious concerns" the ban would have "a negative impact" on children, adding it breached their "rights to freedom of expression and access to information". The company added that the proposed law was "vague" and "highly problematic" and that there was "no evidence" that it would work. Australia is among the vanguard of nations trying to clean up social media, and the proposed age limit would be among the world's strictest measures aimed at children. The proposed laws, which were presented to parliament last week, would also include robust privacy provisions that require tech platforms to delete any age-verification information collected. The government is trying to approve the law this week, before parliament breaks for the rest of the year. Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said in its submission the ban would "fail" in its current form because there was not enough consultation with stakeholders. "More time should be taken to get this bill right," it said. TikTok raised concerns over the privacy provisions -- including that they overlapped and contradicted other legislation -- and the limited time to consult stakeholders. "Its rushed passage poses a serious risk of further unintended consequences," the company's submission said. Key details about how social media companies are expected to enforce the ban remain unclear. Some companies will be granted exemptions from the ban, such as YouTube, which teenagers may need to use for school work or other reasons. Once celebrated as a means of staying connected and informed, social media platforms have been tarnished by cyberbullying, the spread of illegal content, and election-meddling claims. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese insisted Tuesday that "social media is causing social harm". "It can be a weapon for bullies, a platform for peer pressure, a driver of anxiety, a vehicle for scammers and, worst of all, a tool for online predators," he wrote in an opinion piece. "And because it is young Australians who are most engaged with this technology -- it is young Australians who are most at risk." The laws would give families "peace of mind" that their children's well-being and mental health were being prioritised, he said. If the proposed law passes, tech platforms would be given a one-year grace period to figure out how to implement and enforce the ban. The proposal comes just months before Australians go to the polls in a general election that must be held in the first half of 2025. lec/arb/fox50jili com login register online 。

Harris tells advisers to keep her options open for another run for president – or California governorBrazil’s federal police last Thursday formally accused Mr Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup. They sent their 884-page report to the Supreme Court, which lifted the seal. “The evidence collected throughout the investigation shows unequivocally that then-president Jair Messias Bolsonaro planned, acted and was directly and effectively aware of the actions of the criminal organisation aiming to launch a coup d’etat and eliminate the democratic rule of law, which did not take place due to reasons unrelated to his desire,” the document said. At another point, it says: “Bolsonaro had full awareness and active participation.” Mr Bolsonaro, who had repeatedly alleged without evidence that the country’s electronic voting system was prone to fraud, called a meeting in December 2022, during which he presented a draft decree to the commanders of the three divisions of the armed forces, according to the police report, signed by four investigators. The decree would have launched an investigation into suspicions of fraud and crimes related to the October 2022 vote, and suspended the powers of the nation’s electoral court. The navy’s commander stood ready to comply, but those from the army and air force objected to any plan that prevented Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s inauguration, the report said. Those refusals are why the plan did not go ahead, according to witnesses who spoke to investigators. Mr Bolsonaro never signed the decree to set the final stage of the alleged plan into action. Mr Bolsonaro has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or awareness of any plot to keep him in power or oust his leftist rival and successor. “No one is going to do a coup with a reserve general and half a dozen other officers. What is being said is absurd. For my part, there has never been any discussion of a coup,” Mr Bolsonaro told journalists in the capital Brasilia on Monday. “If someone came to discuss a coup with me, I’d say, that’s fine, but the day after, how does the world view us?” he added. “The word ‘coup’ has never been in my dictionary.” The top court has passed the report on to prosecutor-general Paulo Gonet. He will decide whether to formally charge Mr Bolsonaro. Rodrigo Rios, a law professor at the PUC university in the city of Curitiba, said Mr Bolsonaro could face up to a minimum of 11 years in prison if convicted on all charges. “A woman involved in the January 8 attack on the Supreme Court received a 17-year prison sentence,” Mr Rios told the Associated Press, noting that the former president is more likely to receive 15 years or more if convicted. “Bolsonaro’s future looks dark.” Ahead of the 2022 election, Mr Bolsonaro repeatedly alleged that the election system, which does not use paper ballots, could be tampered with. The top electoral court later ruled that he had abused his power to cast unfounded doubt on the voting system, and ruled him ineligible for office until 2030. Still, he has maintained that he will stand as a candidate in the 2026 race. Since Mr Bolsonaro left office, he has been targeted by several investigations, all of which he has chalked up to political persecution. Federal police have accused him of smuggling diamond jewellery into Brazil without properly declaring them and directing a subordinate to falsify his and others’ Covid-19 vaccination statuses. Authorities are also investigating whether he incited the riot on January 8 2022 in which his followers ransacked the Supreme Court and presidential palace in Brasilia, seeking to prompt intervention by the army that would oust Mr Lula from power. Mr Bolsonaro had left for the United States days before Mr Lula’s inauguration on January 1 2023 and stayed there for three months, keeping a low profile. The police report unsealed on Tuesday alleges he was seeking to avoid possible imprisonment related to the coup plot, and also await the uprising that took place a week later.

Sportscaster Greg Gumbel dies from cancer at age 78Man City stumble again while Arsenal and Bayern Munich earn dominant wins

Man City stumble again while Arsenal and Bayern Munich earn dominant winsHealth clinics around New Hampshire have been fielding increased demand for long-acting and permanent birth control options since the presidential election, amid fears that the new administration might curtail access to or insurance coverage of contraception. At Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, which has clinics in Derry, Exeter, Keene and Manchester, appointment bookings for long-acting reversible contraceptives — which include the birth control implant and intrauterine devices known as IUDs — were up as much as 82 percent in the week after the election (compared to the week before), while the number of vasectomy consultations increased slightly. Providers at Lebanon-based Dartmouth Health, the state’s largest health system, “have seen patients asking for long-acting, reversible contraception in the weeks since the election,” said gynecologist Gretchen Sauer. “Some have specifically referenced the election as their reasoning for requesting these forms of birth control.” Other health centers — including Lovering Health Center in Greenland, Equality Health Center in Concord and Lamprey Health Care, which has locations in Nashua, Newmarket and Raymond — have also seen an increase in calls about birth control options. “People feel very strongly that the time is now,” said Sandi Denoncour, executive director of Lovering Health Center. “There’s so much uncertainty and anxiety about what’s to come, they’re choosing a long-acting or permanent option.” President-elect Trump has said he will not ban birth control and would veto a national ban on abortion. However, the nonprofit Center for Reproductive Rights has reported that a second Trump presidency poses “grave threats to reproductive freedoms.” Project 2025, which has been closely associated with Trump, calls for changes that include ending mandatory insurance coverage for contraception and access to medical abortion. There’s also anxiety that certain birth control methods and abortion could be banned or strictly limited, whether at the state or federal level, Denoncour said. The result is an urgency for people to get access to long-acting birth control options before any changes can take place, Denoncour said. “It’s all very acute to people,” she said. “People are very worried. The anxiety is palpable.” Lamprey Health Center hasn’t had a substantial increase in new appointments for birth control, said CEO Sue Durbin. However, providers have noticed more calls asking about replacing long-acting birth control before it’s medically necessary. IUDs can last for three to 10 years, depending on the brand. Replacing an IUD early essentially restarts the clock on that time period, ensuring a highly effective birth control option for years to come. For some patients, that can provide peace of mind. “There really is a lot of anxiety, and a lot of uncertainties in the larger landscape,” Durbin said. Ultimately, whether it’s possible to replace a contraceptive early comes down to an individual’s medical history and what their insurance will cover. “It would be making a decision on their medical situation, rather than the political situation,” Durbin said. Lamprey Health Center began offering vasectomies a little over a year ago, and has seen a steady increase in demand for that permanent form of birth control, Durbin noted. Although the numbers increased this fall, it’s “hard to say whether or not that’s related to the political environment right now.” At Equality Health Center in Concord, there’s been “an increase in panic of our patients looking to make plans for their reproductive health,” said Executive Director Jinelle Hall. It’s something she also thinks about for her two daughters, who are 19 and 23. “I want to make sure they have the necessary means whether they want to become pregnant or not,” she said. “It’s not just my professional life; it’s my personal life.” Equality Health Center also reports more worried phone calls from patients receiving gender-affirming care, a trend also seen at Lovering Health Center. There’s a limit to what the health center can do for those patients, Hall said. For example, “we can’t extend scripts” beyond what’s medically allowed. Instead, workers at Equality are reminding patients that they can still receive all their typical health care, at least for the time being. “We’re making sure our patients understand we’re here for them and we understand they’re anxious,” while also providing “some solid information and advice that it’s business as usual until anything changes,” Hall said. Sauer, of Dartmouth Health, agrees. “New Hampshire residents need to know that, in this state, contraception and abortion are legal and accessible,” she said. “There is a lot of misinformation out there claiming that both are limited, which is not the case.” ‘There’s no guarantee’ Delivering that message can be tricky, Denoncour said. “One of the challenges of messaging over the past few years, when the [24-week] abortion ban passed in New Hampshire and Roe fell, [is telling] folks, ‘services are still available, but we should be very worried,’ ” she said. “Services are not protected. There’s no guarantee that these couldn’t change based on federal or state actions.” Internally, health centers are preparing for possible changes in access to abortion and contraceptives, providers said. Hall also urges patients to channel anxieties into speaking up about the importance of reproductive health care. “Your voice has to be heard,” she said. “We cannot sit back. Continue to have conversations with folks who make these decisions. We vote these folks in.” This year, Equality Health Center is celebrating 50 years of providing health care in Concord, and Hall doesn’t see that changing anytime soon. “We’ve gone through some tough times, and we’re about to again,” she said. “We’ll come out on the other side. It’s just going to have some challenges.” That determination to carry on is shared by other health clinics, including Lovering Health Center. “The anxiety we’re hearing from patients, we absolutely feel it,” Denoncour said. “But we can’t act like we’re under threat every day. We’re stubbornly optimistic.”

How you can cash in on DEAL MANIA By ANNE ASHWORTH Updated: 21:50, 6 December 2024 e-mail View comments An astonishing £52billion worth of UK-listed businesses have succumbed to bids or mergers in 2024, in a feeding frenzy of deals that provokes concern – but also indicates an opportunity. The shrinking of our stock market is bad news for the economy – the pace of departures is the fastest for a decade. But the payback for investors from takeover mania can be gratifying, suggesting that British shares are worth a bet now. So, enough of Black Friday and its often-so-so bargains. Is this the area where you could make a mint, especially given this week's forecast from the Swiss fund management group Pictet that the UK market could be less adversely affected than the rest of Europe by the Trump administration's tariffs policy? Trade buyers and US private equity groups are eager to indulge their appetite for businesses that appear irresistibly cheap and may not stay that way. The 45 companies that have been swallowed up include the packaging company DS Smith, cybersecurity group Darktrace, the financial platform Hargreaves Lansdown and the bank Virgin Money. Done deal: An astonishing £52billion worth of UK-listed businesses have succumbed to bids or mergers in 2024 Carlsberg's £3.3billion purchase of Britvic is being investigated by the Competition and Markets Authority watchdog. But the year's most controversial transaction is Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky's campaign to seize control of the Royal Mail owner IDS in a £3.6billion deal. Why is UK plc so alluring to predators? Ian Lance and Nick Purves, managers of the Temple Bar investment trust, say that shares have been ground down by short-term pessimism – and by UK pension funds preferring to put money into the US and other markets. So enticing are the bargains that have been produced that would-be bidders are not putting their plans on hold for Christmas. The 'takeover juggernaut keeps on trucking', in the words of Dan Coatsworth, analyst at broker AJ Bell, with a spate of offers for household names and more obscure firms in past days. Yesterday, the insurer Aviva moved closer to winning control of embattled rival Direct Line with a £3.6billion offer. The combined group will control one-fifth of the motor insurance market. The rumoured interest from several parties in ITV could turn into a tense drama, amid the perception that there is 'trapped value' in its studios arm which delivers shows as diverse as Love Island and Coronation Street. Also, the success of ITV X, its streaming service, has confounded expectations. The belief that the takeover talk could now be credible has led one analyst to speculate that ITV could be worth £4.5billion, against its current market capitalisation of £2.7billion. Suitors are also lining up for smaller enterprises. The Australian asset manager Macquarie has offered £700m offer for Renewi, the London-listed Belgian waste disposal business.

Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP How to choose the best (and cheapest) stocks and shares Isa and the right DIY investing account Meanwhile, the FTSE 250 engineering firm TI Fluid Systems is to be acquired for £1billion by a Canadian competitor ABC Technologies, which is owned by the £250billion US private equity giant Apollo Global Management. It has also been revealed that the AIM-listed gold mining company Metals Exploration is snapping up Condor Gold for about £67.5m. Metals Exploration is backed by the investment vehicle of Nick Candy, the property developer famous for the One Hyde Park super-luxe apartment scheme in Knightsbridge, and his marriage to actress and singer Holly Valance. If you are checking your portfolio for exposure to this spending spree through individual stocks, funds and trusts, be aware that a bid approach may not culminate in an investor bounty. Lance and Purves point out that two holdings in their trust's portfolio – Anglo American and Currys – have fended off attempts to curtail their independence. Currys argued that a £757m offer from US activist investor Elliott Partners was far too low. A fair contention, it seems, since the share price of the electrical retailer is now 73 per cent higher than a year ago. There is also mounting disquiet among fund managers over what they see as the paltry sums being paid by predators – which should also raise the ire of private investors. There is particular dismay over one business. The cafe bar company Loungers is to be bought for £338m by New York private equity player Fortress, whose past UK acquisitions include Curzon Cinemas, Majestic Wines, Poundstretcher stores and Punch pubs. Axa Investment Managers is just one of the shareholders who are unhappy. Nick Hawthorn, manager of the Downing Strategic Multi-cap fund, argues that the 310p-a-share being paid by Fortress represents a 'derisory 30 per cent premium' on the Loungers share price, which was hard hit by the Budget's employer National Insurance raid and other measures. Loungers disputes these claims. Yet they should serve as an alert to anyone who wants to make the most of bid and merger mania but who does not want to be short-changed. This is our guide: Where to invest Cashing in: Nick Candy and wife Holly Valance So attractive are the valuations of UK shares at present that some analysts argue that 'everything is for sale'. This assessment may be an exaggeration. Yet it will heighten the focus on names whose shares have fallen in past months such as the convenience store chain B&M, the drinks group Diageo and the bank Schroders – its price is down by 27 per cent this year. US buyout company Advent is, reportedly, poised to pounce on Tate & Lyle, the flavourings group. Since it is difficult to tell whether such reports are speculation or fact, it may be wise to put some cash into a UK trust or fund gives you a stake in the action – and a chance for future appreciation. Suitable choices include Fidelity Special Situations, Fidelity Special Values, Jupiter UK Dynamic and Temple Bar – which is my pick. Trusts that could pay dividends There has already been a large amount of consolidation in the investment trust sector. The Alliance and Witan trusts got together to form Alliance Witan which joined the FTSE 100 this week. If you are ready for adventure, James Carthew of QuotedData suggests renewable energy trusts, such as Bluefield Solar, Greencoat Renewables or NextEnergy Solar. Some of their share prices are at a discount of 30 per cent to the net asset value (NAV), making them a possibly enticing target. Greencoat also provides a 7.8 per cent dividend yield – some consolation if a predator fails to appear on the scene. Have your cake and eat it, too Ben Yearsley of Fairview Investing is not a fan of investing in a share simply because a bid could appear. He says: 'I tell my clients that you should buy what you normally buy, based on the company's credentials and prospects.' If a bid materialises, this is the icing on the cake. He continues: 'Standard Chartered has been the subject of takeover rumours for about three years. None has materialised. 'If you invested three years ago, believing this to be a bank that could make a comeback, you would have been rewarded with a share price rise of 126 per cent and enjoyed dividends along the way. What's more, the share price could advance by a further 20-30 per cent.' Don't rely on a bid The luxury goods industry is set for consolidation, its Asian clientele having become reluctant to spend. But companies seeking to make acquisitions in this sector can prefer a brand that is on its way to revival, rather than starting on the journey. This means holders of the iconic British fashion house Burberry (like me) may need to be forbearing as it tries to retain its style credentials through ads featuring Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman, Chelsea and England footballer Cole Palmer, and Alex Hassell and David Tennant, stars of Disney+ series Rivals. For the moment, the handbag maker Mulberry has evaded the clutches of Fraser founder Mike Ashley. Yet close attention will be paid to the success of boss Andrea Baldo's drive to remodel the business. 'Watch and wait' should be your motto. What to do in the case of a bid It is tempting to be dazzled by an offer for a company in which you hold shares, especially if it is pitched at 20-30 per cent above the share price. But the offer may not necessarily reflect the company's prospects. Most bids are cash only. But if there is a mix of cash and shares, you have to weigh up whether you consider the bidder worth backing. If you hold your shares through a platform, you will receive information about the bid and be able to sell your shares without a fee if the offer is approved by the company's board and so become official. If the shares trade at about the level of the bid, it may be worth selling before this time in case the deal is derailed.

The UEFA Champions League returned with its high-octane action on Tuesday, and some clubs with Nigerian players were on duty, Soccernet.ng reports. The first game of the day involving a Nigerian player was between Slovan Bratislava and AC Milan. Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze started for the Rossoneri in attack, alongside Rafael Leao and Tammy Abraham. It was supposed to be an easy fixture for AC Milan, as Slovan Bratislava had lost their previous four games in the competition. But the Rossoneri made it difficult for themselves. AC Milan scored the opener through Christian Pulisic, but the Slovakian side equalized through Tigran Barseghyan just three minutes laster. Leao and Abraham scored in the second half to make it 3-1. But Nino Marcelli scored in the 89th minute to ensure a nervy end to the fixture. Samuel Chukwueze did not score, but he had a great showing. He registered 43 passes, two key passes, three shots, three dribbles, and three tackles. The Super Eagles star played the entire 90 minutes and was one of the best players on the pitch. Elsewhere in Czech Republic, Victor Olatunji got just 30 minutes of action in Sparta Prague’s 6-0 loss to Atletico Madrid. It was an abysmal showing for the Czech champions, as goals from Julian Alvarez, Angel Correa, Marcos Llorente, and Antoine Greizmann sealed the win for Atleti. Olatunji was anonymous in the game, registering just one wayward shot in the game. Meanwhile, in Germany, Victor Boniface was not in Bayer Leverkusen’s matchday squad for their game against RB Salzburg due to injury, but his absence was not felt as they claimed a 5-0 win. Patrik Schick, who led the line in Boniface’s absence scored, while Florian Wirtz contributed a brace. Goals from Alejandro Grimaldo and Aleix Garcia sealed the win for the defending Bundesliga champions. Nigerian star Nathan Tella got 22 minutes of action, as he replaced Jeremie Frimpong. In Switzerland, Ademola Lookman was benched in Atalanta’s 6-1 bashing of Young Boys. The Super Eagles star, who has been talisman for La Dea this season, was surprisingly dropped from the starting eleven. Eventually, Atalanta did not really need him, as goals from Charles De Ketelaere, Mario Retegui, and Sead Kolasinac sealed the win. Champions League action will continue on Wednesday, and Nigerian players will be looking to shine brightly for their clubs.SKorea arrests ex-defence minister over martial lawTORONTO — Losses in the tech sector led Canada's main stock index lower Friday, while U.S. stock markets also fell.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 27, 2024. Companies in this story: (TSX:GSPTSE, TSX:CADUSD) The Canadian PressBy MICHELLE L. PRICE WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer’s comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar.” Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump’s world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world’s richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump’s movement but his stance on the tech industry’s hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent,” he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Related Articles National Politics | Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers?

His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump’s businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country” and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” he told the “All-In” podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump’s budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.
