Hyderabad traffic police books motorist for noise pollution, dangerous drivingSouth Korea's political landscape is in turmoil as parliament has set in motion a bid to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol. The dramatic move follows Yoon's controversial declaration of martial law, which stoked chaos and division within his ruling party and the nation. The declaration, made late on Tuesday, aimed to curb political activities and censor media, but it quickly unraveled, leaving political figures and military forces at odds. Despite the People's Power Party's vow to oppose the impeachment motion, the opposition Democratic Party holds a parliamentary majority. If the bill gets a two-thirds majority, the Constitutional Court will adjudicate the motion within 180 days. As financial markets react to the instability, the international community watches closely, highlighting concerns about democratic governance and political stability in the region.

Need a New Rhythm Game in Your Life? May I Introduce You to ‘Taiko No Tatsujin’In a move that's set to shake up the pub scene just before Christmas , Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company (CMBC) has announced its intention to discontinue 10 classic British beers in the coming weeks. While some of these beloved brews will still be available in bottles, fans will no longer find several of them in cask or keg form. The list of beers on the chopping block includes Eagle IPA, Banks's Mild, and Bank's Sunbeam, a decision that has sparked outcry among real ale aficionados and dedicated drinkers of these brands. Gillian Hough, CAMRA's director for real ale, cider, and perry campaigns, expressed her dismay at the news, describing it as "another example of a globally owned business erasing UK brewing heritage" She went on to say, "I hope this change will create space on the bar for local independent breweries to stock their beers," but added sceptically, "However, realistically, I suspect that's not CMBC's intention." Hough further lamented, "This loss of consumer choice is the inevitable result of a brewing conglomerate prioritizing profits over tradition. It's a sad and disappointing decision that jeopardizes both the history and the future of British brewing." Defending the company's decision, a spokesperson for CMBC told The Sun: "Unfortunately, when demand for certain products declines, we have to make the difficult decision to delist them.", reports the Express . They also highlighted the company's ongoing commitment, saying, "However, we continue to invest in new cask ales and support popular traditional offerings like Banks's Amber Bitter and Marston's Pedigree." Roger Protz, the former editor of the Good Beer Guide, has voiced his concerns over the impact of the Carlsberg and Marston's merger, stating that it "continue[s] to destroy consumer choice and brewing heritage". He lamented: "Not content with closing breweries, they are killing more cask beers: inc Banks's Mild, Bombardier, Marston's Old Empire, Ringwood Old Thumper, Jennings Cumberland Ale." Social media users have also expressed their dismay at the developments. Andrew Duncan commented: "Bombardier and Ringwood were fantastic beers from great breweries. It's almost like the days when Camra was founded." Another user remarked: "Tragic - there's some excellent beers there." Meanwhile, Richard A shared his personal loss: "A list of some of my favourite ales. This isn't just business, it's corporate evil."

The Prime Minister said his younger brother, who had learning difficulties because of complications at birth, had met “all the challenges life threw at him with courage and good humour”. He died peacefully on Boxing Day, according to the Prime Minister’s spokesman. The Prime Minister had been due to go on holiday with his family on Friday, but it is understood that he will now remain at home, and hopes to join them later. Sir Keir said in a statement: “My brother Nick was a wonderful man. “He met all the challenges life threw at him with courage and good humour. We will miss him very much. “I would like to thank all those who treated and took care of Nick. Their skill and compassion is very much appreciated.” Sir Keir spoke candidly about his brother in a recent biography written by journalist and former Labour Party adviser Tom Baldwin. While growing up in Surrey, the brothers shared a bunk bed in a room with an airing cupboard, and “just enough space for a couple of small desks where we’d do our homework”. The biography recorded how each child of the Starmer family was given a dog for their 10th birthday, and Nick and his twin sister Katy received Jack Russell terriers called Greg and Ben. The book also described how their mother, Jo, had taught Nick to read, but Sir Keir remembered how the school described his brother as “remedial”. Sir Keir, the middle child of four siblings, said: “They had no expectation of him or anything and I’m not sure he even sat exams, so he had nothing to show for coming out of education. “We were a family of six, so it didn’t feel lonely and I shared a room with him, but Nick didn’t have many friends and got called ‘thick’ or ‘stupid’ by other kids.” He added: “Even now I try to avoid using words like that to describe anyone.” Nick worked on scrap cars and scaffolding, earning enough money to rent a home near where he had grown up, according to the book. It said Sir Keir was best man at Nick’s wedding, and the now Prime Minister recalled borrowing a car so his brother was not “driving his bride from the church in his beaten-up minivan, which had all his clothes in the back”. The marriage ended and Nick lived for some time in Yorkshire. In 2022, Sir Keir stepped away from local election campaigning to make several hospital visits to see his brother, who was seriously ill at the time. The Prime Minister also spoke about Nick in his speech at this year’s Labour Party conference in Liverpool. As he described his early encounters with art and culture, and the need to remove social barriers, Sir Keir told delegates: “My brother, who had difficulties learning, he didn’t get those opportunities. “Every time I achieved something in my life, my dad used to say, ‘Your brother has achieved just as much as you, Keir’. “And he was right. I still believe that.” Mr Baldwin, writing for The Times on Friday, recalled the moment in 2023 that he learned from Sir Keir that his brother was dying of lung cancer. He wrote: “This has been a huge part of his life over the past couple of years, during which he made regular trips to Leeds where his brother was in hospital. “Even during the election campaign and since he entered Downing Street, Starmer has continued to visit without a camera crew in sight. “He got to know the staff treating his brother so well that he could recite all their names and they would let him into the hospital through a back door so that there would be no publicity.” Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch was among those in the world of politics to offer their condolences. She wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “This is such awful news. Particularly devastating at Christmas time. “My sincere condolences to Keir Starmer and all his family.” Irish premier Simon Harris wrote: “My sincere sympathy to Keir Starmer and his family on such sad news. “They are in my thoughts at this difficult time.”Ben Davies is the latest to fall into that category, with the Welsh international initially primed to return for Sunday’s visit of Wolves but no longer available. Davies suffered a setback in training this week, which means Spurs could be without a fit centre-back after Radu Dragusin was forced off in the latter stages of Thursday’s 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest with an ankle issue. Postecoglou is already without first-choice central defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven after both failed to make it through their comeback fixture against Chelsea on December 7. “Yeah, that’s been our major problem this year. Guys who are coming back from injury rather than us losing players as such,” Postecoglou said. “We’re looking at those things and why they’re happening. It’s certainly happened too often this year where guys have come back and they’re the ones who are missing. “I think just about all of them, apart from Vic (Guglielmo Vicario), are recurrences of an injury. “Even with Romero, it was a different injury but it’s still a guy coming back, so it’s something we’re looking at.” There could be good news on the horizon with attackers Mikey Moore and Richarlison expected to return to training next week. Richarlison suffered his own setback in November when his short-lived return after a calf issue was cut short when he injured the same area against Aston Villa. Moore, meanwhile, has been sidelined by a virus for the best part of two months but the 17-year-old could provide a much-needed spark in the new year when Newcastle visit on January 4. Postecoglou said: “Him and Richy are in the final phases. Next week they can start training. We’ve got a bit of a gap before the Newcastle game. “The plan is Mikey and Richy come back into first-team training next week.” Anticipated returns for Moore and Richarlison will fail to help Postecoglou against Wolves, with makeshift centre-back Archie Gray potentially set to partner up with fellow midfielder Yves Bissouma if Dragusin cannot recover. Pressed on the issue of fixture scheduling, with Spurs definitely missing eight players for Sunday’s fixture, Postecoglou said: “It is challenging. “All clubs are going to have to get their heads around it and authorities are going to have to get their heads around it. “One of two things need to happen: either you somehow change the fixture schedule, which doesn’t seem feasible, or you allow clubs bigger squads. Then you have other issues with that, as well. “The attrition rate you’re seeing and it’s not just us. We’re going through a particularly badly moment. Newcastle went through it last year and it affected them pretty badly. They were obviously in the Champions League as well and probably didn’t have the squad to cope with it. “It hits certain clubs at different times and is probably becoming more prevalent, and for all of us it’s a challenge as to how we navigate this process to keep our players healthy. “It’s not just a physical thing, it’s a mental thing. For us it’s been constant since August and we’re not even halfway through the year. And they’re not going to get a break now, so these things we’re constantly assessing.”
