Why Kenya's export strategy needs more effort to grow marketsIn a sharp political confrontation, R Ashoka, Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly, dismissed the Congress party's triumph in recent bypolls as a clean chit to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah amidst ongoing legal cases. Ashoka emphasized that only courts, not election results, can clear Siddaramaiah in the MUDA scam allegations. During a public gathering in Taggalli, Ashoka alleged that the bypoll victories in Channapatna, Shiggaon, and Sandur were fueled by financial influence rather than genuine support for Congress. He accused the ruling party of corruption and pledged that BJP's fight against such practices would persist. Addressing reporters, Ashoka questioned Siddaramaiah's transparency, referencing alleged misappropriations in the Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribe Development Corporation and the return of sites by the CM's wife in the MUDA scam, while also highlighting the necessity of court-led investigations into these matters.

The safety followed coordinator D’Anton Lynn across town from UCLA, becoming a key Trojans playmaker for a coach with an uncannily similar personality.Stock market update: Nifty Pharma index 0.4% in an upbeat marketRobert Kennedy , a business owner, said political parties are promising to build hundreds of thousands of houses but he remained unconvinced about how this could be done. “What I can’t figure out is how they’re going to build them. We know they can finance the houses. Who’s going to build them?” The panel was asked if it had heard anything in the campaign so far that sounded like a feasible solution on this topic. Ken Harper , a former railway executive from the UK, said he was canvassed by Sinn Féin and was given their Home of Your Own housing policy document during that. He felt there was a willingness in their policies to address certain issues that needed to be looked at before building could start, such as making sure the sites were serviced. “I suppose that was a step change in recognising that it’s not just a question of promising to build houses, but actually getting the ducks in a row before work can actually commence. I get the sense that Sinn Féin, the Social Democrats and Labour are willing to embrace something a bit different...whereas with the big two parties it’s really just promising more of the same.” Rebecca Saunders, a primary schoolteacher, recently bought her first home. She said that in Dublin, “all you can see is cranes on the skyline. Stuff is getting built everywhere but what is getting built are hotels and build to rent developments”. She believes the Government’s Help To Buy scheme is “not providing housing in any meaningful way”. Aisling O’Reilly , a 29-year-old tech worker, said she had a “baffling” conversation with Fine Gael Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe when she was canvassed by him during the week. She said she asked him about the Help To Buy scheme, telling him it could not help her buy anything in the area around her as it does not extend to homes that are not newly built. “His response to it was ‘sure we couldn’t extend it to the second hand homes because that would push up the price’...I just thought it was a really interesting one.” Jo Cahalan , from Abbeyleix, Co Laois, said she has not been impressed with anything that she has heard. “They are just giving away money now. I’m kind of calling it the political version of Black Friday.” Jo felt that “we don’t have a real alternative. We will simply have a mismatch of all different parties, amounting to the same thing.” She said the number of election promises being made “makes me very nervous”. Gretta Fitzgerald , an advocacy adviser with Concern Worldwide, said she believes the “more left-leaning parties do seem to have a bit more ambition around really tackling some of the issues, such as housing” rather than “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Seán Ryan , who lives in rural Co Limerick, said there are “two main government parties (who) are going to get the same vote that they got the last time. The combined opposition, if everyone were organised in three or four parties, then there’d be an alternative. But if 20-25 per cent of the population are going to vote for their local Independent, most of whom are gene pool from one of the traditional parties anyway...” Rebecca Saunders said in relation to Sinn Féin: “They’re not going to be an alternative. They won’t get in. And if they do I think there would be concerns about how they run their party.” Catherine Bergin , a public service worker living in Dundalk, said “I wouldn’t be a supporter of either Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael, but I certainly wouldn’t want to see Sinn Féin in.” She said there may be anxiety among the public about a possible shock to the public finances, which would mean people may not want to “rock the boat”. Tommy Cole , who lives in Tralee, Co Kerry, said that in terms of the parties who are seeking change, “there needs to be the numbers. And most of these parties don’t have the numbers.” However he said that if people did not vote for change then the future would look much the same. Robert Kennedy felt that Mary Lou McDonald came across as “a touch nervous” in the Katie Hannon leaders’ debate. Rebecca Saunders was unimpressed with Simon Harris, and said he was “the worst kind of insincere”. Catherine Bergin felt Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin was “an honourable person in comparison to a lot of the more recent leaders” and she felt he was “assertive” in the debate. Tommy Cole was impressed with the performance of People Before Profit leader Richard Boyd Barrett in the debate. Jo Cahalan said she felt Ivana Bacik came across “really well and genuine”.

This weekend was expected to be all about the Davis Cup Finals in the tennis world. However, defending champions Italy reaching a second successive final to face the Netherlands is no longer the talk of the town. This is because Andy Murray has agreed to be Novak Djokovic’s coach, sending tennis fans into a frenzy. Once great rivals on the court, they will now be on the same side of the net. This partnership is set to leave a lot of tennis fans excited. Yet, it is something that not many saw coming except for, perhaps, one person. A social media influencer had surprisingly made this prediction months ago. On the 27th of March this year, a user going by the name Sasa Ozmo asked, “So, just for fun, who would you like to see as Novak’s new coach?” Bastien Fachan, an avid tennis enthusiast, was one among the many to respond to the question. He simply wrote, “Andy Murray,” with an eyes emoji alongside it. Little did he know that eight months later, his prediction would come true. An elated Bastien shared a screenshot of the earlier conversation in a new post with the caption, “LMAOOOOOOOO.” It did not take long for the post to go viral, and it’s understandable why! When Murray retired from tennis after the Paris Olympics, he expressed his desire to spend more time with his family in his retirement speech. Keeping that in mind, fans wouldn’t have expected him to return to the sport within three months after hanging up his racket. Either way, a lot of social media users were in disbelief with this prediction coming true. It’s understandable to see the surprise in many users’ comments. Not every day does someone get a wild prediction like this one right! But the real question is when Murray will begin his work at Djokovic’s camp. When will Andy Murray join Novak Djokovic’s team? While no official start date has been mentioned by either party, Murray did indicate in his statement when fans can expect him to start this exciting partnership. Normally, when the season gets over, players head out on vacation to clear their minds and recharge their batteries. The time off might vary from player to player. They will begin the preparation for next season in either mid or late December. Since Murray mentioned in his statement that he will be joining Djokovic during the “preparation period,” fans can expect this partnership to kickstart sometime next month. That said, it’s important to note that Djokovic skipped the Paris Masters and the ATP Tour Finals, ending his season sooner than other top-ranked players. This could indicate that perhaps he might begin preparing for the 2025 season earlier than others.No. 22 Xavier unbeaten but looking for more effort vs. South Carolina

Storm Darragh has barely blown over but The Met Office has already issued another slew of yellow weather warnings. Across parts of Scotland a freezing fog will arrive, covering Glasgow, starting today until 11am tomorrow. The warning stated: "Areas of freezing fog will continue to make travel conditions rather difficult overnight and Wednesday morning." Temperatures will reach down to -6C in some areas with light wind also cautioned. This means that public services might be delayed or even cancelled, with slower journey times in general. Cyclists are more at risk on the roads with the chill exacerbating any icy patches along the tarmac. Slippery roads might also affect cars, motorbikes and any other road vehicle. The yellow warning issues to Glasgow has a medium likelihood and a low impact - meaning if you're in the area you are likely to be affected by fog, but it might not be too extreme. It covers central Glasgow as well as some areas further out including Lanark, Alexandria, Cumbernauld, and parts of Stirling. These parts could get frosty and even face some snow over the long nights with "widespread frost under prolonged cloud break" according to the Met Office. Nowhere else in the UK has been issued any weather warning following Storm Darragh but flood warnings remain in place. Brits have also been warned it will "be breezy" in other areas of the UK but by Wednesday it should clear up for most. This comes as the wreckage of storm Darragh continues to shock the country, with two deaths from falling trees on Saturday. The fourth named storm of the season brought strong winds to many parts of the country over the weekend with millions warned to stay indoors. Thousands were left without power and flights, trains, and buses were cancelled for safety reasons. Entertainment fixtures, like football, were also cancelled for both travel and safety reasons. As what will happen over Christmas, the Met Office has said on Wednesday 25 December there will be unsettled conditions. The forecaster warned of frosts and fog, with strong gusts winds and drizzle moving up from the southeast. On Christmas week, the Met Office revealed some Brits can expect the white stuff to fall. The forecaster's long range weather forecast from December 22 to January 5 reads: "Some sleet and snow is also likely at times, especially on high ground in the north." Unfortunately most are more likely to get a wet Christmas than a white one. According to the Met Office Driving safely in fog Foggy conditions can make it difficult to see the road ahead, be prepared for this by following these simple steps: How does fog affect flights and ferry crossings Fog can affect schedules for flights and ferry crossings.

Undefeated Oregon and No. 23 Texas A&M will collide Tuesday afternoon in Las Vegas in the second game of the new Players Era Festival. Both teams are in the "Power" group of the eight-team event. All eight teams are receiving $1 million for their name, image and likeness (NIL) collectives, but placing fourth or higher in the tourney in order will net them anywhere from $1.1 million to $1.5 million. The Aggies (4-1) opened the season with a three-point loss at UCF, but since then have won four straight, all in convincing fashion. Texas A&M upset then-No. 21 Ohio State 78-64 on Nov. 15 at home in College Station, Texas. Then the Aggies crushed Southern 71-54 last Wednesday, when Wade Taylor IV led the way with 17 points and six assists. All of Texas A&M's wins have been by double digits. The Aggies and Ducks (5-0) have split the two previous meetings against each other. Until March 2022 in an NIT second-round game, they had not met since the 1970-71 season. Texas A&M tied the overall series with a 75-60 win at home in 2022. The only player on the Ducks' current roster who played in that game was 7-foot senior Nate Bittle, who has been one of Oregon's best players so far this season. Bittle's 16.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game lead the Ducks so far this season, and the big man also averages two blocked shots per game. Texas A&M guard Zhuric Phelps, a transfer from SMU, leads the Aggies in scoring at 16 points per game. Taylor adds 14 points per game. The Aggies could be the best defensive team the Ducks will have seen this season. A&M is allowing teams to shoot only 36.6 percent in games. Head coach Buzz Williams and his staff are hoping the team gets better at taking charges on defense, as the Aggies have just one so far this season. "I guess the thing that you work on most is verticality around the rim," Texas A&M assistant coach Steve Roccaforte told KBTX television. "‘Hey, once you get there, if you try and take a charge, it's going to be a block. Just jump as high as you can, stay vertical, try to go chest-to-chest. Make it a hard shot.'" Oregon is coming off a 78-75 win at Oregon State, the Ducks' first road game of the season. The Ducks trailed by 10 points at halftime but, as they have in several games this season, they found a rhythm on offense in the second half and came up with a comeback win. Bittle's 23 points and 14 rebounds led the way. Jackson Shelstad had 15 points and Jadrian Tracey and Keeshawn Barthelemy both added 10. "We started rebounding the ball a little better. Nate really got it going inside and our guys got him the ball," Oregon head coach Dana Altman told the school's athletics website. "He had a heck of a game." --Field Level MediaNone
