Donald Trump transfers £3 billion of Trump Media shares to trustTwo members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet will be in Palm Beach, Fla., Friday to meet with members of Donald Trump's team. Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and newly appointed Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc are making the trip south to further discussions with members of the future Trump administration, ahead of inauguration day on Jan. 20. "They look forward to continuing the discussions that took place when the Prime Minister met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago last month," said Jean-Sébastien Comeau, director of communications for Minister LeBlanc, in a statement. The duo is also looking to build off a "positive call" the ministers had with Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, earlier this month. In an exclusive interview with CTV's Power Play host Vassy Kapelos on Dec. 19, Homan called border talks with Canada "positive." "The conversation I have in Canada, I couldn't ask for a better conversation," Homan said. "Of course, actions have to follow, but I'm very optimistic from the conversation I had that we're going to come up with a good border security plan." Trump has threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian imports if the country doesn't take sufficient action to address the flow of illegal drugs and migrants over the shared border. Last week, the federal government laid out a five-pillared approach to boosting border security , but it didn't provide specifics about where and how $1.3 billion in funding earmarked in the fall economic statement will be allocated. Friday's trip to Palm Beach, Fla., will focus on what Canada has done so far to address Trump's border concerns. "The Ministers intend to focus on Canada's efforts to combat fentanyl trafficking and illegal migration and the measures outlined in Canada's Border Plan, as well as the negative impacts that the imposition of 25% tariffs on Canadian goods would have on both Canada and the United States," Comeau said in his statement. The meetings also come amid repeated and ongoing online comments from Trump about Canada becoming "the 51st state" and the prime minister being its governor. "...To Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens' Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World," read in part a Christmas Day message posted by Trump on Truth Social, his own social media platform. The Prime Minister's Office has not directly addressed the repeated comments by Trump.

Stay ConnectedFARMERS once accused me of being a dirty socialist hellbent on crushing their way of life. It was 2002 and a 300,000-strong Tweed Army had hit the capital in their tax-deductible Range Rovers for a Liberty and Livelihood march to scream persecution over Labour’s plans to outlaw hunting. Three Prince Harry clones cornered me and demanded to know which newspaper I was from. And when they learnt it was the Mirror, they called me a Berkeley Hunt and accused me of being part of a class war against their noble stock. I told them I didn’t see anything classy about ripping apart foxes for fun and got orf their land sharpish. They were back in London this week, once again playing the class war card after Labour decided the richest farmers must do what the rest of us do, and be liable for inheritance tax . But this isn’t a war, just a much-needed battle to rebuild a country whose public services have been firebombed by a party which only ever looks after its own class. Which is why it was nauseating to see the Tory shadow cabinet take centre stage at this week’s protest, playing the role of the farmers’ friend – despite their Brexit (which the majority of farmers voted for) slashing subsidies and leading to zero-tariff trade deals which will allow foreign meat to flood our markets. It was almost as nauseating as arch-Brexiter Nigel Farage in full country squire gear, attacking the “elites”, and his fellow multi-millionaire Jeremy Clarkson , who bought up farmland to “shoot” and “so the government does not get any of my money when I die” moulding himself as modern-day peasants’ revolt leader Wat Tyler. Isn’t it funny that when train drivers protest, right-wingers label them militant scum, but when farmers do the same, they are victims. Isn’t it strange that when French farmers block roads hampering Brits heading to their summer gites, they are blackmailing thugs – but when British ones block central London streets, they are heroes? Well, here’s a few more questions for those heroic victims, a small number of whom might have to cough up half the tax the rest of us do (with a decade to pay it) if they leave an estate that is worth more than £3million. How can you claim that the main beneficiaries of the current system aren’t a rich cabal, when between 2018 and 2020, nearly £600million in inheritance tax relief went to 200 estates with an average value of £6million? Aren’t the 100,000 pensioners forced into poverty by the removal of the winter fuel allowance even bigger victims in the battle to rebuild our shattered public services? What about the hundreds of ­thousands of taxpayers advised to bung extra cash into pensions, as they were inheritance tax free, and are now liable to lose 40% of it? How about people who run care homes or pubs hit with burdensome employee NI rises? Or parents paying VAT on private schools? Or young people with mental health issues forced to take up work or training or lose benefits? The thing about tax is that it’s human nature to think someone else should pay it. But this country has been left in such a state by the party most of the wealthiest farmers support, that we’ve all got to cough up. Surely if any group can understand that we reap what we sow, it’s farmers.MAPUTO, Mozambique. (AP) — At least 6,000 inmates escaped from a high-security prison in Mozambique’s capital on Christmas Day after a rebellion, the country's police chief said, as widespread post-election riots and violence are roiling the country. Police chief Bernardino Rafael said 33 prisoners died and 15 others were injured during a confrontation with the security forces. The prisoners fled during violent protests that have seen police cars, stations and infrastructure destroyed after the country’s Constitutional Council confirmed the ruling Frelimo party as the winner of the Oct. 9 elections. The escape from the Maputo Central Prison, located 14 kilometers (9 miles) southwest of the capital, started around midday on Wednesday after “agitation” by a “group of subversive protesters” nearby, Rafael said. Some of the prisoners at the facility snatched weapons from the guards and started freeing other detainees. “A curious fact is that in that prison we had 29 convicted terrorists, who they released. We are worried, as a country, as Mozambicans, as members of the defense and security forces,” said Rafael. “They (protesters) were making noise, demanding that they be able to remove the prisoners who are there serving their sentences”, said Rafael, adding that the protests led to the collapse of a wall, allowing the prisoners to flee. He called on the escaped prisoners to surrender to authorities and for the population to be informed about the fugitives. Videos circulating on social media show the moment inmates left the prison, while other recordings reveal captures made by military personnel and prison guards. Many prisoners tried to hide in homes, but some were unsuccessful and ended up being detained again. In one video, a prisoner still with handcuffs on his right wrist says he was held n the disciplinary section of the prison and was released by other inmates.777 jogo e confiável 。

Vietnam’s sweeping administrative cuts trigger investors’ anticipation, worries

Robots are taking over multiple industries, easing tasks with greater accuracy while reducing the workload for humans. From warehouses to hospitals, robots are speeding tasks up more effectively. Now, Honda has unveiled a robot designed to provide support and companionship to children undergoing extended hospital stays. Called Haru, the AI-powered robot was introduced at the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital (HUVR) in Seville, Spain. Developed by Honda Research Institute Japan Co., Ltd. (HRI-JP), Haru was designed to be a social robot that makes people smile through expressive communication and forms empathetic relationships with people. As a compact desk-top robot with a total height of 30cm (12 inches), Haru can be placed on a table to engage in conversations with people. Haru obtains biometric information of users Honda explains that Haru obtains users’ biometric information , such as facial expressions and voice tones, through its built-in camera and microphones. This information is then analyzed to assess the user’s emotional state, enabling Haru to respond with appropriate empathy and emotional support. Moreover, Haru can also be linked to a wristwatch-type wearable sensor worn by the user, allowing for even more detailed analysis of the user’s conditions , according to the company. Honda maintains that as a robot, Haru does not have any human attributes, such as gender, race, or nationality, and is always capable of communicating from a neutral perspective. It enables the robot to effectively facilitate communication beyond generational and cultural differences, especially in group communication. Haru communicates with children HUVR has integrated Haru into its initiatives aimed at enhancing the well-being of children undergoing long-term cancer treatment. The robot has been assisting the hospital’s neuropsychologists in conducting emotional and cognitive assessments . Using AI technology, Haru communicates with children and assists neuropsychologists in conducting emotional and cognitive assessments. Due to the amount of time the assessment takes, there is a limit to the number of assessments the neuropsychologists can conduct each year: the number had been limited to 510 per year, including follow-up consultations until now. With the introduction of Haru, the number of assessments the hospital can conduct each year is expected to increase to as many as 4,500, according to a press release . Haru supports intellectual, physical rehabilitation programs The company maintains that Haru has been supporting intellectual and physical rehabilitation programs provided to young patients at the hospital. Haru learns the rehabilitation programs and can guide the children through the process while engaging them in conversation. The demonstration experiment showed that 95% of children were more actively engaged in rehabilitation while receiving guidance from Haru, compared to conventional human guides. “We have been conducting joint research with HRI-JP for several years now, and gained wonderful results. We have identified that Haru holds great potential in bringing happiness to children,” said Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in Seville (HUVR) in a statement. Typically, technologies used in hospitals focus on medical treatments or physical well-being. However, Haru demonstrates a unique ability to positively influence the psychological well-being of our young patients, contributing to a more positive atmosphere throughout the hospital. “The support that Haru provides, enabling children under hospital care to feel more happiness and connection with others, is unique only to Haru and offers valuable benefits not found in traditional medical care. We believe that Haru is a groundbreaking presence that creates an environment where young patients can enjoy their time here at our hospital,” added HUVR in a statement .TRACCOM INC.

LOVE Island star Ciaran Davies has appeared to take another swipe at his ex girlfriend Nicole Samuel in the wake of their shock split. Ciaran Davies, who coupled up with Nicole Samuel in this summer's series of Love Island, has posted a series of pictures from recent events which praised his new found single status. He told Instagram fans: "Just me living my best life in December." The post featured pictures from Christmas as well as him hanging out with Love Island alumni Sammy Roots, heading to the gym and attending a London movie premiere. This isn't the first time Ciaran has made a dig at Nicole or his single status, with the pair locked in what appears to be a public spat since their break up. Previously taking to TikTok Ciaran reposted a cryptic quote, which read: "The truth always comes out in the end, no matter how hard anyone tries to hide it or stop it. "Lies are just a temporary delay to the inevitable." Another TikTok post which didn't get missed by fans included another quote that Ciaran reposted, which read: "When IK [I know] they lying I just gotta see how stupid they think I am first." The first news of the couple's split came with a confirmation that Ciaran and Nicole had parted ways "on amicable terms" four months after leaving the villa. A representative for the pair told us: "Over the last couple of days Nicole and Ciaran have made the mutual decision to part ways. "They have left the relationship on amicable terms, and will remain good friends going forward." Following the split Nicole quickly unfollowed Ciaran and deleted pictures of him from her social media, hinting that things were less than friendly between them after their split. It's also now confirmed that Ciaran is one of the stars taking part in the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating. An insider said to us : "He's signed a big money, five figure deal to appear on the show next year. "Nicole isn't best pleased - it's the last thing she wants to see him dating on TV - but she knows it's his choice and will be good for his career."CLEM_Klubnik 13 run (Hauser kick), 12:07.

Payne Stewart was one of the best shot-makers of his generation. Getty Images Welcome to Play Smart , a regular GOLF.com game-improvement column that will help you become a smarter, better golfer. Payne Stewart was one of the best ball strikers of his generation. This much is clear when looking at his resume that includes 11 PGA Tour victories and three major titles. If not for a tragic aviation accident that took Stewart’s life in 1999, those numbers would surely be higher. But while Stewart may no longer be wis us, we can still learn from his rock-solid swing. In the video below, filmed during Stewart’s prime, the three-time major winner outlined a common flaw he saw in many golfers’ swings — and a great way to go about fixing it. Check it out and it just may improve your own game. Great swing tips from golf legends. ⬇️ Payne Stewart shares an easy drill for developing the proper weight transfer in your golf swing. 📝 pic.twitter.com/hk1mVJoOi2 Stewart’s ball-striking tip Failure to properly shift the weight during the backswing is a swing flaw that many recreational players struggle with. Either they do no shift their weight at all, or, in an effort to make a big turn, they “reverse pivot” and leave themselves in a poor position at the top of the backswing. “The proper weight shift is to go from the right side to the left side,” Stewart said. Just this week, we covered a great feel for getting into the proper position at the top of the backswing. In the video above, Stewart gives us a simple feel to then unload that weight in the downswing. Once you get to the top of the swing, you’ve got to transfer your weight (and energy) through the ball to hit a solid shot. A great way to teach yourself to do this is by exaggerating the feel. When you’re making some swings on the range, take a step with your trail foot toward the target after impact. It’ll feel awkward at first, and you might not make great contact with the ball, but when you do this, it’s impossible to leave your weight on the back side. If you’re struggling to transfer your weight during the downswing, give this drill a shot.

The Washington Commanders' recent ineptitude on first-round draft picks was on display again Saturday, as the team waived cornerback Emmanuel Forbes, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport . Per Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post , that move means every first-round pick made by the Commanders from 2019 through 2023 is no longer with the team: Washington selected Forbes with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Mississippi State, but after appearing in 20 games and making only seven starts over the course of two seasons, his tenure with the Commanders is already over.

Prince Louis' sweet request to Prince William sparks frenzy

Israel has struck multiple targets linked to the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen, including Sanaa International Airport, and Houthi media says at least six people were killed. or signup to continue reading The head of the World Health Organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said he was about to board a plane at the airport on Thursday when it came under attack. A crew member on the plane was injured, he said. The Israeli military said that in addition to striking the airport, it also hit military infrastructure at the ports of Hodeidah, Salif and Ras Kanatib on Yemen's west coast. It also attacked the country's Hezyaz and Ras Kanatib power stations. The Houthi-controlled Saba news agency said that three people were killed in the strikes on the airport and three were killed in Hodeidah, while 40 others were wounded in the attacks. Later on Thursday, the Houthis said they were ready to respond quickly to the attack and meet "escalation with escalation", Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported. Houthis have repeatedly fired drones and missiles towards Israel in what they describe as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The spokesperson of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned escalations between Israel and Yemen. "Israeli airstrikes today on Sanaa International Airport, the Red Sea ports and power stations in Yemen are especially alarming," the UN chief's spokesperson said in a press briefing while expressing concerns about the risk of further regional escalation. Israel said it struck multiple targets linked to the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen on Thursday, including Sanaa International Airport, and Houthi media said at least six people were killed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Channel 14 that Israel was only at the beginning of its campaign against the Houthis. "We are just getting started with them," he said. The prime minister has been strengthened at home by the Israeli military's campaign against Iran-backed Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon and by its destruction of most of the Syrian army's strategic weapons. Tedros said he had been in Yemen to negotiate the release of detained UN staff and to assess the humanitarian situation. "As we were about to board our flight from Sanaa ... the airport came under aerial bombardment. One of our plane's crew members was injured," he said in a statement. "The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few metres from where we were — and the runway were damaged," he said, adding that he and his colleagues were safe. There was no immediate comment from Israel on the incident. The Houthi transport minister told Saba that both the airport and Hodeidah port would resume normal operations from Friday. More than a year of Houthi attacks has disrupted international shipping routes, forcing firms to re-route to longer and more expensive journeys that have in turn stoked fears over global inflation. The UN Security Council is due to meet on Monday over the Houthi attacks against Israel, Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon said on Wednesday. On Saturday, Israel's military failed to intercept a missile from Yemen that fell in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa area, injuring 14 people. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Narin An handled the windy conditions with a hot putter on Thursday, making four straight birdies around the turn and finishing with an 8-under 64 for a one-shot lead in the CME Group Tour Championship. At stake for the 60-player field is a $4 million prize to the winner, the largest single-day payoff in women’s golf. Nelly Korda already has won more than that during her sterling season of seven wins. Now she faces an eight-shot deficit over the next three days at Tiburon Golf Club if she wants to end her year in fitting fashion. Korda, coming off a victory last week, couldn’t make amends for her three bogeys and had to settle for an even-par 72. She has come from behind in four of her victories, and still has 54 holes ahead of her. But it has made the task that much tougher. Everything felt easy for An, a 28-year-old from South Korea who has never won on the LPGA and has never cracked the top 10 in any of the 16 majors she has played. “Today my putt really good,” An said. “The speed was good and the shape was good. I just try to focus a little bit more.” She had a one-shot lead over Angel Yin, who shot 30 on the back nine, including an eagle on the par-5 17th hole that most players can easily reach in two. Former U.S. Women’s Open champion Allisen Corpuz and Marina Alex were at 66, with Lydia Ko leading the group at 67. Despite the wind so typical along the Gulf Coast of Florida, 27 players — nearly half the field — shot in the 60s. “It’s a good head start for the big ol’ prize we get at the end of the week,” Yin said. Whoever wins this week is assured of breaking the 17-year-old LPGA record for most money earned in season. The record was set by Lorena Ochoa in 2007 at $4,364,994, back when the total prize money was about half of what it is now. Ochoa earned $1 million for winning the Tour Championship in 2007. The opening round followed a big night of awards for the LPGA Tour, where Korda officially picked up her first award as player of the year, which she clinched earlier this month. Ko was recognized for her big year, highlighted by an Olympic gold medal that put her into the LPGA Hall of Fame. She regained plenty of focus for the opening round on a course where she won just two years ago. “The course isn’t easy,” Ko said. “I set a goal of shooting 3 under today, and somebody shot 8 under. I was like, ‘OK, maybe I need to make a few more birdies.’ It’s a course that can get away from you as much as you can shoot some low scores, so I’m just trying to stick to my game plan and go from there.” Also in the group at 67 was Albane Valenzuela of Switzerland, already celebrating a big year with her debut in the Solheim Cup and her first appearance in the Tour Championship. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. She made a late run at her first LPGA title last week at Pelican Golf Club, and kept up her form. And she can see the finish line, which is appealing. “I everyone is looking at that $4 million price tag,” Valenzuela said. “I try not to look too much at the result. I feel like in the past I’ve always been stuck on results, and ultimately all I can do is control my own round, my own energy, my own commitment. “It’s the last week of the year. It’s kind of the bonus week. No matter what, everyone is having a paycheck.” ___ AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf Advertisement Advertisement

All rights reserved.Elephant Robotics to Exhibit at CES 2025: Featuring Cutting-Edge Innovative Robotics Solutions and AI Bionic Robots DebutA columnist took a humorous look at the Christmas wish list of Donald Trump and other prominent political figures. The president-elect apparently wants Canada , Mexico , Greenland and the Panama Canal, wrote Salon's Brian Karem , and wondered what Trump wanted to do with those sovereign territories he's been talking about taking over. "Perhaps taking over Canada and Mexico is just Trump’s way of solving the so-called immigration crisis," Karem wrote. "Taking back the Panama Canal would enable him to charge exorbitant fees for retail traffic through the canal zone (so he could pay his personal legal bills) – and taking over Greenland will give him plenty of room for his new gulags he wishes to build to house Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and scores of others on his enemies list. Maybe he can even let the largest private prison companies run the new gulags at a well-negotiated price and for massive profits (of which he’ll take a personal cut)." ALSO READ: Why ABC settled a case they knew they would win — and why the Lincoln Project didn't Karem then turned his attention to vice president-elect J.D. Vance and the purportedly apparent co-president Elon Musk. "Vance wants to be taken seriously this Christmas season, but I doubt Santa Claus has Vance’s manhood in his bag of goodies," Karem wrote. "Vance emerged from obscurity this week after being overwhelmed by the presence of Trump’s favorite puppeteer, Elon Musk. Vance was seen on Capitol Hill helping to negotiate a budget deal that would keep the government running until March. After the deal was done, Vance disappeared back into the night ether from which he came. Rumor is he’ll stay in his coffin until he’s needed." Musk seemingly wants the entire world for Christmas , the columnist wrote, so he can cover it "in a white supremacist cloak that will make the Nazi regime look like a PTA meeting circle jerk." "His international reach continues to grow as this week he (surprisingly?) endorsed a German conservative party that looks like MAGA on steroids," Karem wrote. "How is it that an immigrant from South Africa who is afforded all the freedoms of the world’s greatest nation would try to undermine the nation that allowed him to succeed beyond his wildest dreams? He doesn’t care. He wants it all and he wants it now. The man who bought and sold the world looks to be on Santa’s naughty list — so I doubt things in the new year will play out the way Husky Musky dreams. After all, his dream is a nightmare to millions of people worldwide." "I certainly find it funny that man who could easily dip into his pocket and donate $100 billion to ease student loan debt and help solve homelessness in this country — and still be worth hundreds of billions of dollars — is trying so hard to fit into a high school cheerleading outfit (complete with pom poms) for Donald Trump," Karem added. "It would be justice if Musk got a sequin-lined cheerleading outfit for Christmas — complete with autographed copies of Vance’s 'Hillbilly Elegy.'"
