At least 90 people have been killed in Mozambique amid clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces sparked by October’s disputed presidential elections, civil society group Plataforma Decide said Friday. Unrest has rocked the southern African nation since an October 9 polls, which was won by the ruling Frelimo party, in power since 1975, but denounced as fraudulent by opposition parties. In a post on social media Plataforma Decide said 90 people had been killed between October 21 and December 5 and nearly 3500 people detained. A fresh wave of protests launched Wednesday turned deadly, with police confirming at least five people were killed and three others wounded. “Among the fatalities, some were run over and beaten. None of the victims were police officers,” national police spokesman Orlando Modumane said. In the northern city of Nampula, protesters who “tried to invade the governor’s residence” were stopped “by police firing live ammunition”, a civil society activist Ivaldo Naza told AFP, counting five dead. The Constitutional Council is due to confirm the results at least two weeks ahead of the January inauguration of Daniel Chapo, 47, Frelimo’s candidate succeeding the outgoing President Filipe Nyusi.After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season. , the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony-winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo ( , Broadway's ) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

Advertisement Advertisement( MENAFN - Gulf Times) Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) president Ahmad Abdulla al-Muslemani has said that the CRA has proven over the past decade its capability of managing and monitoring of radio spectrum usage in Qatar in full compliance with legal frameworks. This is particularly evident, he said, across critical sectors such as telecommunications, security, as well as in the oil and gas, aviation, maritime navigation, and other essential industries. Speaking to the Qatar News Agency (QNA), al-Muslemani underlined that the CRA enhances its position as the responsible entity for this resource by issuing regulations and regulatory tools, granting licences, permits, and approvals for the optimal use of the radio spectrum. He emphasised that the CRA has worked tirelessly to monitor and oversee the use of the spectrum, ensuring its optimal utilisation, underscoring its crucial and central role in maintaining the sustainability and security of communications in Qatar. Al-Muslemani said that the CRA has cemented its reputation with achievements in meeting the requirements of major local and international events hosted by the country, including the landmark event, the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, in addition to playing a key role during these events, ensuring the frequency plans and management were in place to enable all stakeholders to use and operate various radio applications, equipment, and broadcasting systems as required, without interruption due to any radio interference. He said that in recent years the CRA has achieved significant milestones in fostering productive international co-operation in the area of spectrum management and monitoring, through the signing of agreements with countries such as Turkiye, Morocco, the Gambia, Somalia, Korea and Romania. Al-Muslemani added that over the past 10 years, the CRA has played a pivotal role in ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of telecommunications networks and services in Qatar, particularly through the management of numbering, the cornerstone of building a communications system that meets users' needs and supports economic growth. He stated that the CRA issued the national numbering plan, along with other relevant regulations, and worked on the allocation and distribution of numbers used in all telecommunications services or for any other numbering-related purposes, in addition to allocating about 11mn mobile phone numbers and around 2mn landline numbers to the telecommunications companies. Additionally, it supported innovation and development in the telecommunications sector, allocating 300,000 numbers for Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. Over the past decade, al-Muslemani said, the CRA has dedicated its resources to advancing the digital community in the country and worked on expanding Qatar's digital presence on the global stage, strengthening the foundations of digital infrastructure, and cybersecurity levels. He said that this has been achieved through a series of initiatives aimed at encouraging institutions and individuals to adopt the use of Qatari Internet domain names, thereby emphasising its role in supporting innovation and technological advancement in line with the CRA's aspirations, and contributing to the country's ambitions to lead globally in the field of information and communications technology (ICT).

New Delhi, Dec 26 (PTI) India's sports fraternity on Thursday joined the nation in mourning the demise of two-time former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, paying homage to his "calm leadership and wisdom" in stirring condolence messages. Singh, 92, died at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here after losing consciousness at his home owing to age-related ailments. Also Read | Premier League 2024-25: Fulham Make History at Stamford Bridge, Dent Chelsea's EPL Title Hopes With 2-1 Victory. "Sad news of the passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji. A visionary leader and a true statesman who worked tirelessly for India's progress. His wisdom and humility will always be remembered. My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones," World Cup-winning former cricketer Yuvraj Singh posted on X. Similar sentiments were expressed by his former teammate and Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha member Harbhajan Singh, who described Singh as a thorough gentleman and visionary leader. Also Read | Premier League 2024-25: Jordan Pickford Denies Erling Haaland Penalty as Everton Hold Defending Champions Manchester City to 1-1 Draw. "What truly set him apart was his calm and steady leadership in times of crisis, his ability to navigate complex political landscapes, and his unwavering belief in India's potential," he wrote. It was during Singh's second tenure that India hosted the 2010 Commonwealth Games in the national capital. It was the first international multi-sport extravaganza to be held in the country after the 1982 Asian Games, also hosted by Delhi. Former wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who is now a Congress MLA in Haryana, called Singh a man of "extraordinary wisdom, simplicity and vision." "Dr. Manmohan Singh was not just a Prime Minister, but he was a thinker, economist and a true patriot. His calm leadership style and economic vision gave the country a new direction, from the 1991 economic reforms to establishing India's reputation on the global stage. "There was depth in his humility and wisdom in his every word. His services and contributions to the country will always be remembered. You will always live in our hearts, Sir," she wrote in her emotional tribute on social media. Former cricketers Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman and ex-women's hockey team captain Rani Rampal were also among those who expressed their sadness at his death. Before serving as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, Singh was finance minister in the P V Narasimha Rao-led government and was the brain behind the economic reforms of 1991 that marked the beginning of liberalisation in the country. Widely respected for his intellect and grace in public life, Singh had retired from active politics in April this year after over a three-decade run as a Rajya Saha MP.

By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court should overturn Mississippi’s Jim Crow-era practice of removing voting rights from people convicted of certain felonies, including nonviolent crimes such as forgery and timber theft, attorneys say in new court papers. Most of the people affected are disenfranchised for life because the state provides few options for restoring ballot access. “Mississippi’s harsh and unforgiving felony disenfranchisement scheme is a national outlier,” attorneys representing some who lost voting rights said in an appeal filed Wednesday. They wrote that states “have consistently moved away from lifetime felony disenfranchisement over the past few decades.” This case is the second in recent years — and the third since the late 19th century — that asks the Supreme Court to overturn Mississippi’s disenfranchisement for some felonies. The cases use different legal arguments, and the court rejected the most recent attempt in 2023. The new appeal asks justices to reverse a July ruling from the conservative 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said Mississippi legislators, not the courts, must decide whether to change the laws. Stripping away voting rights for some crimes is unconstitutional because it is cruel and unusual punishment, the appeal argues. A majority of justices rejected arguments over cruel and unusual punishment in June when they cleared the way for cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public places. Attorneys who sued Mississippi over voting rights say the authors of the state’s 1890 constitution based disenfranchisement on a list of crimes they thought Black people were more likely to commit. A majority of the appeals judges wrote that the Supreme Court in 1974 reaffirmed constitutional law allowing states to disenfranchise felons. About 38% of Mississippi residents are Black. Nearly 50,000 people were disenfranchised under the state’s felony voting ban between 1994 and 2017. More than 29,000 of them have completed their sentences, and about 58% of that group are Black, according to an expert who analyzed data for plaintiffs challenging the voting ban.

In recent years, legislators have restored voting rights for only a few people. The other recent case that went to the Supreme Court argued that authors of Mississippi’s constitution showed racist intent when they chose which felonies would cause people to lose the right to vote. In that ruling, justices declined to reconsider a 2022 appeals court decision that said Mississippi remedied the discriminatory intent of the original provisions in the state constitution by later altering the list of disenfranchising crimes. In 1950, Mississippi dropped burglary from the list. Murder and rape were added in 1968. The Mississippi attorney general issued an opinion in 2009 that expanded the list to 22 crimes, including timber larceny, carjacking, felony-level shoplifting and felony-level writing bad checks. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in a 2023 dissent that Mississippi’s list of disenfranchising crimes was “adopted for an illicit discriminatory purpose.”

Speaker of the Odisha Legislative Assembly, Surama Padhy, on Sunday emphasised the need to build robust healthcare infrastructure across the state and upskill human resources in the sector during the Vision Odisha Healthcare Conclave 2024. Highlighting existing gaps, Padhy noted that many Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and Community Health Centres (CHCs) in Odisha continue to lack adequate numbers of doctors, paramedics, and skilled personnel to operate modern healthcare equipment. “Without skilled human resources, delivering quality healthcare services remains a challenge. Many hospitals, particularly in rural areas, still struggle with insufficient manpower to effectively use available technology,” she stated. Health minister Dr. Mukesh Mahaling, the chief guest at the conclave, outlined the government’s efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure. He announced plans to significantly increase the number of medical seats in Odisha, from the current 2,500 to 31,000, and to establish medical colleges in all 30 districts of the state. “Our government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Mohan Majhi, is committed to addressing the healthcare needs of the state. These initiatives will go a long way in improving access to healthcare for all,” Dr. Mahaling said. Former Health and Finance Minister Prafulla Chandra Ghadai delivered an in-depth presentation on Odisha’s current health infrastructure. He urged the government to focus on modern training for paramedics, who form the backbone of the healthcare system. Professor Dr. Ashok Acharya underscored the importance of preventive care and strengthening wellness centers to reduce the burden on hospitals. He also advocated for a robust trauma care system to save lives in critical situations. Renowned childcare expert and director of Hi-Tech Group, Dr. Rakesh Panigrahi, called for healthcare services to be made more affordable and accessible to all sections of society. The conclave also featured contributions from senior journalists Prasanna Mohanty, Sanjaya Jena (Editor, Argus News), and Akshaya Kumar. Noted economist and columnist Dr. Pravas Mishra moderated the discussions, which attracted over 200 delegates from across the country. Almost all the speakers at the conclave reiterated the importance of establishing medical colleges in every district to improve access to healthcare and education. They also lauded government initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat and Gopabandhu Jana Arogya Yojana, aimed at expanding healthcare coverage for underserved communities.Joe Burrow’s Outfit Before Bengals-Cowboys Grabs Attention

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against ASP Isotopes Inc. (ASPI)

In four seasons at Pitt, Nate Yarnell has served four distinct roles at the game’s most important position. He has been a quarterback-in-waiting, hope for the future, an afterthought and, finally, an insurance policy. But all of that will end for Pitt’s bowl game and in 2025 after he revealed Friday on X that he is entering the NCAA transfer portal as a graduate student. He has two remaining seasons of eligibility. His announcement robs Pitt of quarterback depth but leaves the position next season in the hands of rising redshirt sophomore Eli Holstein, who was coach Pat Narduzzi’s preferred choice in the first place. Yarnell, who came to Pitt from Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas, in January 2021, has been with the team long enough to sit in quarterback meetings with Kenny Pickett. Yarnell also started for injured Kedon Slovis and Nick Patti as a redshirt freshman in a 2022 victory at Western Michigan, slid to third string behind Phil Jurkovec and Christian Veilleux in 2023 and served as a fill-in for Holstein this past season. Through it all, he showed the kind of toughness coaches typically seek in their quarterbacks, taking a pounding behind an offensive line weakened by injury, playing through pain and less than a month ago nearly upsetting Clemson, a team that will play for the ACC championship Saturday night. Approaching spring ball and summer camp this year, Yarnell was the apparent favorite to open the season as the starter, even after Narduzzi signed Holstein, a transfer from Alabama. But Holstein seized the job this summer and held onto it through most of the first nine games until head and leg injuries ended his season early in the first quarter at Louisville on Nov. 23. Yarnell relieved Holstein in the Syracuse, SMU, Virginia and Louisville games, but he started against Clemson and Boston College. He leaves Pitt after appearing in 15 games over four seasons, with five starts (2-3), completing 149 of 273 passes (65.6%) for 1,846 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science before the ’24 season.
