Ashlon Jackson scores career-best 30 points to lead No. 14 Duke past No. 10 Kansas 73-62Timothée Chalamet is an Oscar-nominated actor who has brought to life a diverse set of characters such as Willy Wonka , space saga messiah Paul Atreides in the "Dune" films , and even an embodiment of Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown," coming to theaters later this month. But he's not really known as much of a sports fan – evidently he follows the New York Knicks and Mets, The Sporting News says – so his selection as a panelist on ESPN's College GameDay Saturday may have seemed somewhat softball. Wrong. Add football analyst to Chalamet's resume because he wowed not only fellow panelists but also viewers with his picks and reasoning. Chalamet quickly got fellow panelists Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit's attention with his first pick: Jackson State over Southern in the Southwest Athletic Conference championship. "I'm going Jackson State. Eight wins in a row. 11 all-conference players. It should be a comfortable easy win for them," Chalamet said. WNBA: Golden State Valkyries pick their players for 2025 in WNBA expansion draft. See list "This guy's a great actor," declared panelist Desmond Howard.Referring to Chalamet, Herbstreit added, "He said, 'I only got six picks. I'm bringing the heat.'" College GameDay's X account posted a highlight reel of Chalamet's picks and analysis on games ranging from the SWAC Championship to the SEC title game. "ELITE BALL KNOWLEDGE," the account noted. The actor maintained his moxie with his assessment of the Mid-American Conference championship matchup : Ohio University Bobcats vs. Miami (Ohio) RedHawks. "These teams are 2-2 in the last four matchups. The RedHawks' defense looks good but I'm looking at 4th year Bobcats quarterback Parker Navarro (who has a) 65% completion rate," Chalamet said. "If he can get going it will tilt this in favor of the Bobcats. I'm going underdog Bobcats here." Chalamet references 'movie dad' Matthew McConaughey Chalamet upset University of Georgia fans crowding around the GameDay set in Atlanta ahead of the afternoon's SEC Championship game when he chose the University of Texas Longhorns over the Bulldogs. "You know it's hard to beat the same team twice," he said, referring to Georgia's 30-15 win over Texas two months ago. "Adjustments are made. It's like a game of chess," Chalamet continued. "(Former Alabama) Coach (Nick) Saban knows this better than anyone on this dais. Listen, I'm going with my movie dad (and "Interstellar" co-star Matthew) McConaughey," a noted Longhorns fan who often prowls the Texas sideline during games. 'I'm sorry to everybody here (in predicting) a Longhorns victory," Chalemet said, but showed a Hook 'em Horns sign with his right hand. Chalamet – who also put up $400,000 for the show's field goal challenge – certainly didn't disappoint viewers at home who quickly took to social media to pronounce the actor's football knowledge. Earlier this week when Chalamet's appearance was announced, many were skeptical. "That man has never watched a college football game in his life ..." posted one person on X. "You couldn't find a famous football fan that went to Georgia or Texas," another asked. The fact Disney owns ESPN and Searchlight Pictures, which is releasing "A Complete Unknown," was brought up as the obvious connection. "LISAN AL GAIB!" declared the College GameDay X account on Thursday. "Timothée Chalamet is joining us in Atlanta as this weekend's guest picker." After Chalamet's performance, many were happy to eat crow and Chalamet's name became a trending topic on X . "I’ve never been more wrong about anything in my life than I was about Timothee Chalamet college football knowledge. Im speechless. This guy knows ball," one viewer posted on X . Another noted that only Chalamet on the panel chose Ohio to beat Miami (Ohio) before the Bobcats went up big in the third quarter. Follow Mike Snider on X and Threads: @mikesnider & mikegsnider .

Clashes Erupt at Asawase Polling Station as Ballot Sorting Turns ChaoticPHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts remained in the NFL's concussion protocol on Monday, limiting his ability to practice this week for the Philadelphia Eagles and casting doubt on his availability for Sunday's game against Dallas. If Hurts can't play, the Eagles would turn to backup Kenny Pickett — who suffered a rib injury and couldn't protect a big lead in a 36-33 loss to Washington — with third-stringer Tanner McKee on deck. The Eagles (12-3) need to win one more game over the final two to clinch an NFC East title and one of the conference's top two seeds. Coach Nick Sirianni gave no additional health update on Hurts but did say the QB who led the Eagles to 10 straight wins before he was forced out with the head injury wouldn't need much time this week to get ready against the Cowboys, if he was cleared. “Jalen knows how to prepare,” Sirianni said. “He knows how to get himself ready. He's a true pro." The Eagles are 9 1/2-point favorites over the division rival Cowboys (7-8), per BetMGM Sportsbook. Sirianni said the Eagles would lean on the medical staff on a daily basis to know where Hurts — who threw two touchdown passes and ran for a pair of scores in the first meeting against Dallas in November — was in his recovery from the head injury. Hurts was ruled out early at Washington after his head slammed against the ground on one run and he was hit in the helmet by Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu at the end of another. “He's always done a good job of protecting himself both as a passer and a runner,” Sirianni said. “Any time you lose one of your best players, you wish they'd do something else or not take that hit." Hurts shook off a sluggish start over the first four games and has thrown 18 touchdowns against just five interceptions to turn the Eagles into Super Bowl contenders. “Every time there's a player out,” Sirianni said, “there's an adjustment to be made.” Saquon Barkley and the running game. Barkley was held to 41 yards after the first quarter but 150 yards is 150 yards and he still has a shot at NFL history. Barkley leads the NFL with 1,838 yards rushing and is 268 yards away from passing Eric Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984 for the season mark. Barkley is 162 yards shy of becoming the ninth player in NFL history with 2,000 yards rushing in a season. Backup QB. Pickett was 14 of 24 for 143 yards in relief, throwing a touchdown pass to A.J. Brown and an interception. Pickett played his first meaningful football in a year. The Eagles use McKee as the emergency QB, but the sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft could be in the mix if Hurts sat out against Dallas. Pickett is from New Jersey and said when he was acquired from Pittsburgh that he had “great memories” of going to games at Lincoln Financial Field with his dad and grandfather since he was 5. The chance to run out of the home team tunnel — which he could get Sunday if he's the starting QB — left him absolutely delighted. Pickett, a first-round pick out of Pitt in 2022, went 14-10 as a starter for the Steelers. “I was impressed by Pickett, honestly," Washington coach Dan Quinn said Monday. "I thought he threw the ball with good accuracy to the right spots. He’s a nice athlete (who can) move, so I can see why they would want him in that system. I thought he got outside and had good scramble ability. Wasn’t surprised they didn’t run the sneaks to go through that.” Zack Baun. The linebacker barely caused a ripple on the transactions wire in March but has been arguably the MVP of the defense. He forced a fumble in the third quarter that set up a score, one of five turnovers for the Eagles. He also had two tackles for losses. The No. 1 seed. The Eagles all but cost themselves a shot at the top spot in the NFC and a bye with the late-game collapse in Washington. The Eagles will clinch the division with a victory over the Cowboys or Giants and most likely will finish with the No. 2 seed. They are one game behind both the Detroit Lions (13-2) and the Minnesota Vikings (13-2) in the NFC standings. Eagles fans can still chant, “We're No. 1!” but it's a long shot. To clinch the No. 1 seed, the Eagles need to beat Dallas and the Giants. And the Lions need to lose their last two games against San Francisco (6-9) and Minnesota. And the Vikings needs to lose to Green Bay (10-4) and beat the Lions in Week 18. Should the status quo remain, the Eagles would host Washington in a playoff game. Beyond Hurts, edge rusher Josh Sweat left with an ankle injury and defensive tackle Jordan Davis limped off in the second quarter. ... Pickett said he had his ribs X-rayed and would undergo further testing. Sirianni had no update Monday on Pickett's condition. 1,000 — Brown became the first Eagles receiver to top 1,000 yards in three straight seasons since Mike Quick from 1983-85. The Eagles can clinch the division and a home playoff game with two lightweights left on the schedule, both at home. The Eagles play Dallas on Sunday in a game bumped to a 1 p.m. kickoff and end the season against the New York Giants.

People in business may lose money today, and you may need to spend money to improve your business. If you spend much time away from home instead of studying, your parents may get mad at you. Making plans for your job is just as important as playing. To make your parents happy, you should find a balance between the two. A misunderstanding or a bad word can make your day less fun. Today is your day at work. Don't miss out on this chance. Some people have been very busy the last few days. Today they may have some free time. The health of the spouse may get worse. Gemini (May 21–Jun 21): Do not think too much about your health, because it could make it worse. You will finally get the money and loans you've been waiting for a long time. Your husband and kids will love and support you even more. Right now is a great time to have a nice dinner with your loved one in the evening. Put all of your energy into working toward your goals. It's not good for you to repeat things that aren't important to you anymore. You will lose your time and get nothing else out of this.

You should be careful when you talk and when you deal with money. You will get help from family and friends, and your stress will go away. Now is the right time to ask her to marry you, because your love could turn into a lasting relationship. Taking honest steps in the right way will definitely pay off. These days, you'll want to spend the day somewhere peaceful, away from all of your friends and family. If you want your partner to show love, today can make that happen. BY Dr. Sohini Sastri Leo (Jul 23-Aug 23): Feeling better about your health and having more energy will help you on long trips. No matter how busy you are, you won't fall asleep during the day. Someone with great plans and thoughts might catch your eye. Find out more about that person before you spend any money with them. Don't get involved in other people's business today. By evening, you might suddenly feel like being sweet. You might not be able to finish an important job that you have been working on for a long time. To make the day better, you will need to learn how to set aside time for yourself. Your partner might tell you today in lovely words how important you are to them. Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23): Stay away from fried foods and work out daily. You may get something good today from the money you put away in the past to make today better. There will be people who wish you well, but in the end, everything will rest on how hard you work. Now is the time to remember old friends and make new ones. You will get good results from taking brave steps and making brave choices. Today, be careful when you talk to your family. If you don't, you might waste time getting into fights that aren't necessary. Today, your partner is going to do something really nice for you. Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23): Today is a good day full of joy. You don't know how important money is, but today you will know because you will need a lot of it but not have any. There are chances to go to social events that will put you in touch with important people. If you forgive your loved one for past mistakes, your life will get better. Even though there are some small problems, today can be a great day for many things. Pay extra attention to coworkers who get angry easily when they don't get what they want. It is important to be careful in writing. When you and your partner laugh and tease each other, it will take you back to your teenage years. BY Dr. Sohini Sastri Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22): You'll have plenty of time to relax today because you feel good about yourself and don't have to do much. Today one of your parents might tell you to save money. Pay close attention, because if you don't, you will have problems in the future. You can easily reach your goals if you can work out your issues with family. Giving flowers is a great way to show your love. Things that were worked on in the past will pay off today. If someone asks you for your opinion, don't be shy; they will really value it. There's a chance that your parents will surprise your spouse with some wonderful gifts that will make your marriage even better. Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 21): For some reason, you'll feel like a kid again, and you'll want to get into trouble. Together with your partner, you can make a cash plan for the future today, and this plan should also work out. Having kids can really mess up your day. Use love and kindness as a weapon to help them understand and stay out of trouble. Don't forget that love makes more love. Hear what someone else says about your lover before you decide what you think about them. This will help your relationship stay strong. If you work hard and wait, you can reach your goals. Today, be careful as you drive home from work at night. If you don't, you could have an accident and be sick for a few days. Work stress has been making it hard for you to be married for a long time. Things will be fine today, though. Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 21): Even though you have a lot going on, your health will stay good. You can sell your land abroad today for a good price and make money. Do not forget your duties to your family. Today, the music of love will play in your life because your heart beats in time with the beat of your lover. Business relationships that were formed not long ago will be very helpful in the future. Today, people born under this sign will have a lot of free time. You can do the things you enjoy during this time. You may read a book or listen to your favourite music. There is a good chance that people will try to make you two different from each other. So, it won't be right to follow the advice of people from outside the group. BY Dr. Sohini Sastri Aquarius (Jan 22-Feb 19): Friends can get into fights if they don't understand each other. Before making a choice, look at both sides from a fair angle. Getting more money can help you with many of your money troubles right now. It will be fun to hang out with friends. Still, don't spend too much, or you'll be broke when you get back home. Today, don't forget to forgive the person you love. When making a choice, don't let your pride get in the way; instead, pay attention to your less experienced coworkers. Playing sports is fun, but don't let them get in the way of your studies. We need to find some fun things to do because being married is boring. Pisces (Feb 20-Mar 20): Stay positive because being negative will not only hurt your chances but also throw off your body's balance. Someone may come to your door today and ask you to give them money. You might run into money problems if you give them the money back. It is suggested that you not borrow money. You'll meet new people because of how nice and friendly you are. Because your partner cares about your well-being, he gets mad at you from time to time. Instead of getting mad at his anger, you should try to understand what he's saying. It's not healthy to imagine, and don't think that someone else will do your work for you. You will be able to find time for yourself today, even though you have a lot to do. In your free time today, you can make something. If you don't keep shocking your partner, he might think he's not important in your life.
EXCLUSIVE Moment careless Evri driver drops parcels onto doorstep before hurling another package over a fence and running away - as shopper vows never to use courier again By JOSE RAMOS Published: 20:00 GMT, 7 December 2024 | Updated: 20:12 GMT, 7 December 2024 e-mail 16 View comments This is the shocking moment a delivery driver throws a parcel across a garden fence in broad day light. The man is seen carrying three plastic bags with him as he approaches the house before he drops two of them at the front door of the property in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Following that, the Evri driver, wearing a beanie, a black puffer jacket and blue track bottoms, is seen hurling the bigger parcel across a fence onto a neighbouring property before running away. A thwack can be heard in the video as the parcels are thrown onto the floor. The video captured on doorbell footage on Saturday shocked Vicky Hartley who had just ordered a pair of new boots from Clark's for her mother Patricia, 70, ahead of Christmas . The 35-year-old NHS worker could not believe her eyes when she saw the footage on her phone. Speaking to MailOnline, she said: 'I wasn't home at the time of the delivery but I heard the notification pop up on my phone. I saw it right away and was shocked at how careless it was, without any thought of who it was being delivered or for who it was. 'I have had issues with Evri in the past when they take pictures for proof of delivery and then when you go try to find the parcels you can't see them anywhere. This is the shocking moment a delivery driver throws a parcel across a garden fence in broad day light The driver is seen carrying three plastic bags with him as he approaches the house before he chucks two of them at the front door of the property in Barnsley, South Yorkshire The man, wearing a beanie and a black puffer jacket and blue track bottoms, is seen hurling the bigger parcel across a fence unto a neighbouring property 'I paid a fiver for the delivery and because the weather has been awful and it was just thrown unto the floor, the box was all damaged. That wasn't money well spent at all.' She added: 'I'm never getting a parcel with Evri again'. Ms Hartley contacted Evri through its automatic customer service messaging service and was told someone would be in touch with her. 'I was really surprised at the lack of care that was taken by the delivery driver. 'I would like a refund for my whole order because the box was all smashed up. 'Just imagine if I had ordered an expensive thing like a computer or something else. 'I'm not wanting a full refund for what happened. The box is all smashed up.' A spokesperson for Evri said: 'Every parcel matters to us and we're committed to instilling this culture amongst everyone who delivers on our behalf. 'This footage does not reflect the high standards we usually see from our couriers who receive an average customer rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. 'This courier will no longer be delivering on behalf of Evri.' This isn't the first time the courier has got into trouble for the careless way its drivers appear to handle the packages. A thwack can be heard in the video as the parcels are thrown unto the floor After throwing the parcels and leaving them for anyone to take, the man then runs off into the distance As previously reported, in April a delivery driver was seen carelessly throwing parcels out of his van and into a gutter in front of a disgusted customer. The courier in Torquay, Devon, hurled the packages, which are a range of sizes, in front of photographer Maciej Olszewski, who was worried one of the items could be his new camera. A growing pile of parcels was scattered along the gutter below the pavement just a couple of yards away from a drain. With the rear door of the van open, a brown cardboard box could be seen getting chucked from inside the vehicle and into the gutter before a softer bright blue package joined it on the side of the road. Evri told The Sun that the driver responsible had been put on a 'training course' but remains employed by the firm. The company added that they take their responsibility to 'care' for every parcel 'seriously'. Mr Olszewski, who was on his way to work when he witnessed the incident, said he had received damaged packages before. 'I thought 'what the f*** could this be my new camera?'' he said. 'Someone could have stolen them just as easily.' Read More Shocking moment Evri delivery driver carelessly throws parcels into the GUTTER in front of disgusted customer In December last year, the Mail went undercover at the delivery company after it was dubbed Britain's 'worst' courier firm. We found a workforce, scrambled together following minimal training, battling to earn minimum wage in all weathers — to which those soggy parcels can testify. Desperate for drivers in the run-up to Christmas, and amid what was billed as the 'biggest recruitment drive in our history', the Mail reporter was offered work by Evri within hours of completing an online application. Having then received just three hours of face-to-face training he was immediately sent out on the road with a car-load of 30 parcels. While Evri claims that drivers 'have the chance to earn a competitive rate of £10 to £15 per hour', he discovered that to hit those figures, he needed to deliver a parcel at a rate of one every couple of minutes — a tall order. A large carboard box parcel can be seen getting chucked out of the white van and onto a growing pile of packages lying in the gutter This is the shocking moment an Evri delivery driver carelessly throws parcels out of his van and into a gutter in front of a disgusted customer It meant that over four days spent collecting, loading and delivering from a depot in the Midlands, on no day did his basic pay reach the minimum wage of £10.42 an hour. Evri, meanwhile, insists 'new starters' like our reporter would in fact earn in excess of that figure because they are given bonus payments for the first few days to make up for their lack of experience. In January a mother was left fuming after spotted her alleged Evri driver launching her parcel into the front garden like a frisbee. Beth Robyn had ordered a gift for her son but soon realised the contents of the parcel were damaged after opening it. When the mother from Keighley, West Yorkshire, went to analyse the footage she saw how the parcel was chucked towards the door instead of the delivery driver walking a few feet up the path to safely deliver it. Ms Robyn took to social media on January 8 to share the shocking footage, playfully writing: 'Seems Evri now have a new way to deliver.' She later added: 'After communication with Evri, the driver has been removed from the service. 'I've reported it as damaged from the company as well. A friend of mine has had the same today from the same area and apparently, he's allowed to do that as long as it's on the property.' The post received over 160 likes and dozens of comments from Brits left unimpressed by the driver's actions. One person wrote: 'Why on earth did he leave his car door wide open while he had a car full of parcels while people were walking past, is what I can't get over. Because he couldn't keep his eyes off those kids near his car.' An Evri spokesperson said at the time: 'Our ambition is that every customer's experience is a positive one. We've apologised to Ms Robyn and provided a goodwill payment. 'This delivery falls below the standards we expect and the courier will no longer be delivering on behalf of Evri. 'They added: 'We work with over 20,000 couriers on a day-to-day basis, the vast majority of which are honest and hard-working local people, delivering parcels in their own communities with an average star rating of 4.7 out of 5.'

(Reuters) -The U.S. government has approved the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips to a Microsoft-operated facility in the United Arab Emirates as part of the company’s highly-scrutinized partnership with Emirati AI firm G42, Axios reported on Saturday, citing two people familiar with the deal. Microsoft invested $1.5 billion in G42 earlier this year, giving the U.S. company a minority stake and a board seat. As part of the deal, G42 would use Microsoft’s cloud services to run its AI applications. The deal, however, was scrutinized after U.S. lawmakers raised concerns G42 could transfer powerful U.S. AI technology to China. They asked for a U.S. assessment of G42’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party, military and government before the Microsoft deal advances. The U.S. Commerce Department, Microsoft and G42 did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. The approved export license requires Microsoft to prevent access to its facility in the UAE by personnel who are from nations under U.S. arms embargoes or who are on the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security’s Entity List, the Axios report said.

Biden converted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The inmates include people convicted in the slayings of police and military officers, as well as federal prisoners and guards. Others were involved in deadly robberies and drug deals. Three inmates will remain on federal death row: Dylann Roof , convicted of the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; the 2013 Boston Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of life Synagogue in 2018 , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history. Opponents of the death penalty lauded Biden for a decision they'd long sought. Supporters of Donald Trump , a vocal advocate of expanding capital punishment, criticized the move weeks before the president-elect takes office. Donnie Oliverio, a retired Ohio police officer whose partner, Bryan Hurst, was killed by an inmate whose death sentence was commuted, said the killer's execution "would have brought me no peace.” “The president has done what is right here,” Oliverio said in a statement also issued by the White House. But Hurst’s widow, Marissa Gibson, called Biden's move distressing and a "complete dismissal and undermining of the federal justice system,” in a statement to The Columbus Dispatch . Tim Timmerman, whose daughter, Rachel, was thrown into a Michigan lake in 1997 to keep her from testifying in a rape trial, said Biden's decision to commute the killer's sentence offered families “only pain.” "Where’s the justice in just giving him a prison bed to die comfortably in?” Timmerman said on WOOD-TV. Heather Turner, whose mother, Donna Major, was killed in a 2017 South Carolina bank robbery, called the commutation of the killer's sentence a “clear gross abuse of power” in a Facebook post. “At no point did the president consider the victims,” Turner wrote. “He, and his supporters, have blood on their hands.” Corey Groves, whose mother, Kim Groves, was murdered in a 1994 plot by a New Orleans police officer after she filed a complaint against him, said the family has been living with the “nightmare” of her killer for three decades. “I have always wanted him to spend the rest of his life in prison and have to wake up every morning and think about what he did when he took our mother from us," Groves said in a statement through his attorney. Families of the nine people killed and the survivors of the massacre at the Mother Emanuel AME Church have long had a broad range of opinions on Roof's punishment. Many forgave him, but some say they can’t forget and their forgiveness doesn’t mean they don’t want to see him put to death for what he did. Felicia Sanders survived the shooting shielding her granddaughter while watching Roof kill her son, Tywanza, and her aunt, Susie Jackson. Sanders brought her bullet-torn bloodstained Bible to his sentencing. In a text message to her lawyer, Andy Savage, Sanders called Biden’s decision to not spare Roof’s life a wonderful Christmas gift. Michael Graham, whose sister, Cynthia Hurd, was killed, told The Associated Press that Roof’s lack of remorse and simmering white nationalism in the country means he is the kind of dangerous and evil person the death penalty is intended for. “This was a crime against a race of people," Graham said. “It didn’t matter who was there, only that they were Black.” But the Rev. Sharon Risher, who was Tywanza Sanders’ cousin and whose mother, Ethel Lance, was killed, criticized Biden for not sparing Roof and clearing out federal death row. “I need the President to understand that when you put a killer on death row, you also put their victims' families in limbo with the false promise that we must wait until there is an execution before we can begin to heal,” Risher said in a statement. Risher, a board member of Death Penalty Action, which seeks to abolish capital punishment, said during a Zoom news conference that families “are left to be hostages for the years and years of appeals that are to come.” Abraham Bonowitz, Death Penalty Action’s executive director, said Biden was giving more attention to the three inmates he chose not to spare, something they all wanted as a part of their political motivations to kill. “When Donald Trump gets to execute them what will really be happening is they will be given a global platform for their agenda of hatred,” Bonowitz said. Biden had faced pressure from advocacy organizations to commute federal death sentences, and several praised him for taking action in his final month in office. Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ACLU, said in a statement that Biden has shown "the brutal and inhumane policies of our past do not belong in our future.” Republicans, including Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, criticized the move — and argued its moral ground was shaky given the three exceptions. “Once again, Democrats side with depraved criminals over their victims, public order, and common decency,” Cotton wrote on X. “Democrats can’t even defend Biden’s outrageous decision as some kind of principled, across-the-board opposition to the death penalty since he didn’t commute the three most politically toxic cases.” Two men whose sentences were commuted were Norris Holder and Billie Jerome Allen, on death row for opening fire during a 1997 bank robbery in St. Louis, killing a guard, 46-year-old Richard Heflin. Holder’s attorney, Madeline Cohen, said in an email that Holder, who is Black, was sentenced to death by an all-white jury. “Norris’ case exemplifies the racial bias and arbitrariness that led the President to commute federal death sentences,” Cohen said. “Norris has always been deeply remorseful for the pain his actions caused, and we hope this decision brings some measure of closure to Richard Heflin’s family.” But Ed Dowd Jr., the U.S. attorney in St. Louis at the time of the robbery and now a private attorney, criticized Biden's move. “This case was a message to people who wanted to go out and shoot people for the hell of it, that you’re going to get the death penalty,” Dowd said. Now, "Biden is sending a message that you can do whatever you want and you won’t get the death penalty.” This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Rev. Sharon Risher's name.

Minnesota is focused on one final task before it sets its sights on the Big Ten Conference season. The Golden Gophers (7-5) will look to finish 2024 on a high note when they host Morgan State on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. It will be the final nonconference game for Minnesota before it begins conference play in earnest with a home date against No. 21 Purdue on Thursday. Meanwhile, Morgan State (6-9) is hoping to break out of a skid that has included seven losses in its past 10 games. The Bears are coming off a 99-72 loss against No. 3 Iowa State on Dec. 22. The highest scorer on either team is Minnesota's Dawson Garcia, who is averaging 19.2 points to go along with a team-high 7.3 rebounds this season. Garcia is shooting 49.7 percent from the field, 85 percent from the free-throw line and 31.8 percent from 3-point range. Mike Mitchell Jr. ranks second on the Golden Gophers with 11.6 points per game. Lu'Cye Patterson is next with 10 points per contest, and Parker Fox is fourth with 6.8 points per game. "At the end of the day, we're all here for a reason," Mitchell said. "We have to produce when we're out there, but once (Garcia) gets going, it helps us all figure it out together." Minnesota coach Ben Johnson has seen opponents focus on slowing down Garcia as the season has progressed. That strategy could create opportunities for other teammates, he said. "Teams are always going to guard Dawson differently," Johnson said. "Are they not switching ball screens? Can you play through him in the post? ... When you get two on the ball, you can (kick) it out. Now you've got an advantage on the backside." For Morgan State, Wynston Tabbs leads the way with 16.1 points per game on 45.9 percent shooting from the field. Three other players are scoring in double figures: Amahrie Simpkins (12.7 points per game), Will Thomas (12.1) and Kameron Hobbs (10.7). Morgan State coach Kevin Broadus wants his players to be more disciplined on defense. "That's one of the things that we have to change," Broadus said. "We're fouling too much." This is the second meeting between the schools. Minnesota pulled away for a 94-64 win on its home court in the inaugural matchup on Dec. 8, 2009. --Field Level Media

The UN nuclear watchdog's board of governors passed a resolution chiding Iran's poor cooperation with the agency after hours of heated exchanges, diplomats told AFP late on Thursday, a move Tehran called "politically motivated". The censure motion brought by Britain, France, Germany and the United States at the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-nation board follows a similar one in June. But it comes as tensions run high over Iran's atomic programme, with critics fearing that Tehran is attempting to develop a nuclear weapon -- a claim the Islamic Republic has repeatedly denied. The resolution -- which China, Russia and Burkina Faso voted against -- was carried by 19 votes in favour, with 12 abstentions and Venezuela not participating, two diplomats told AFP. Ahead of the vote on Thursday night, the United States and its European allies sought to rally support for their resolution by denouncing Iran. In its national statement to the board, Washington said that Tehran's nuclear activities are "deeply troubling". London, Paris and Berlin in a joint statement drew attention to the "threat" Iran's nuclear programme posed "to international security", stressing that it now had enough highly enriched uranium for four nuclear weapons. In a first reaction after the vote, Iran's ambassador to the IAEA, Mohsen Naziri Asl, told AFP that the resolution was "politically motivated", citing its "low support" compared to previous censures. - Differences laid bare - The confidential resolution seen by AFP says it is "essential and urgent" for Iran to "act to fulfil its legal obligations". The text also calls on Tehran to provide "technically credible explanations" for the presence of uranium particles found at two undeclared locations in Iran. Moreover, Western powers are asking for a "comprehensive report" to be issued by the IAEA on Iran's nuclear efforts "at the latest" by spring 2025. Since 2021, Tehran has significantly decreased its cooperation with the agency by deactivating surveillance devices to monitor the nuclear programme and barring UN inspectors. At the same time, Iran has rapidly ramped up its nuclear activities, including by increasing its stockpiles of enriched uranium. That has heightened fears that Tehran might be seeking to develop a nuclear weapon, which it denies. The resolution comes just as IAEA head Rafael Grossi returned from a trip to Tehran last week, where he appeared to have made headway. During the visit, Iran agreed to an IAEA demand to cap its sensitive stock of near weapons-grade uranium enriched up to 60 percent purity. "This is a concrete step in the right direction," Grossi told reporters Wednesday, saying it was "the first time" Iran had made such a commitment since it started breaking away from its obligations under the nuclear deal. The landmark 2015 deal -- which curbed Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief -- fell apart three years later after the unilateral withdrawal by the United States under then-president Donald Trump. In retaliation, Tehran began gradually rolling back some of its commitments by increasing its uranium stockpiles and enriching beyond the 3.67 percent purity -- enough for nuclear power stations -- permitted under the deal. - Potential to 'harm efforts' - Although symbolic in nature at this stage, the censure motion is designed to raise diplomatic pressure on Iran. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday the censure "will disrupt" interactions with the agency, but stressed Tehran would remain keen to cooperate. Earlier, Araghchi had warned of a "proportionate" response by Iran if the board passes the resolution. According to Heloise Fayet, a researcher at the French Institute of International Relations, the resolution has the potential to "harm Rafael Grossi's efforts". "But Western powers are frustrated by the lack of effectiveness of his diplomatic manoeuvres and are looking for firmer solutions," she told AFP. On Wednesday, Grossi said he could "not exclude" that Iran's commitment to cap enrichment might falter "as a result of further developments". Foreign policy expert Rahman Ghahremanpour said Tehran might retaliate to the new censure by "increasing the enrichment levels". But he does not expect any drastic "strategic measures" as Iran does not want to "aggravate tensions" before Trump returns to the White House. pdm-anb-kym/giv Originally published as UN nuclear watchdog board passes resolution chiding Iran More related stories Breaking News Putin hints at strikes on West in ‘global’ Ukraine war Putin hints at strikes on West in 'global' Ukraine war Read more Breaking News Clash after Israeli PM issued arrest warrant Labor and the Coalition have appeared to clash after the International Criminal Court called for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Read moreLITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Voters dejected by the presidential election results need to find a way to give back and remain involved, Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday as they celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Clinton presidential library. The former president urged audience members in a packed theater to remain engaged and find ways to communicate with those they disagree with despite a divisive political time. The two spoke about a month after former President Donald Trump's win over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election. “We’re just passing through, and we all need to just calm down and do something that builds people up instead of tears them down,” Bill Clinton said. Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who was defeated by Trump in the 2016 election, said she understands the next couple of years are going to be challenging for voters who don't agree with the decisions being made. "In addition to staying involved and staying aware, it’s important to find something that makes you feel good about the day because if you’re in a constant state of agitation about our political situation, it is really going to shorten your life," she said. The Clintons spoke during a panel discussion with journalist Laura Ling, who the former president helped free in 2009 when she was detained in North Korea with another journalist. The event was held as part of a weekend of activities marking the of the Clinton Presidential Library's opening in Little Rock. The library is preparing to of its exhibits and an expansion that will include Hillary Clinton's personal archives. Hillary Clinton said part of the goal is to modernize the facility and expand it to make it a more open, inviting place for people for convene and make connections. When asked about advice he would give for people disappointed by the election results, Bill Clinton said people need to continue working toward bringing people together and improving others' lives. “If that's the way you keep score, then you ought to be trying to run up the score,” he said. “Not lamenting the fact that somebody else is winning a different game because they keep score a different way." “And in addition, figure out what we can do to win again,” Hillary Clinton added, eliciting cheers. The program featured a panel discussion with cast members of the hit NBC show “The West Wing” and former Clinton White House staffers. The weekend amounted to a reunion of former Clinton White House staffers, supporters and close friends, including former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and adviser James Carville. McAuliffe said he and Carville ate Friday at Doe's Eat Place, a downtown restaurant that was popular with Clinton aides and reporters during Clinton's 1992 White House run. He said he viewed the library and its planned expansion as important for the future. “This is not only about the past, but it's more importantly about the future," McAuliffe said. “We just went through a very tough election, and people are all saying we've got to get back to the Clinton model.”None
