Hyderabad: On the issue of allocating space for a memorial for former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, BJP leader and grandson of former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao, NV Subhash, on Saturday, said, “The Congress disrespected Narasimha Rao after his demise. It persuaded us to move his mortal remains to Hyderabad and assured us that a memorial site would be built for him in Hyderabad even though he had spent most of his life in Delhi.” Criticising the Congress for its duplicity in honouring its own leaders, he added, “Today, the Congress party's hypocrisy has been exposed. They ill-treated their leaders. The cabinet has clearly approved Congress' demand. They are playing petty politics on the whims and fancies of the dynastic rule of the Congress party.” The BJP accused the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi of indulging in politics over the funeral of Singh. Addressing a press conference here, BJP national spokesperson and MP Sambit Patra came down heavily on Gandhi for stating that the Narendra Modi government disrespected Singh by conducting his funeral at Nigambodh Ghat, whereas for other former prime ministers the last rites were performed at sites where memorials were authorised to be built later. "It is unfortunate that the BJP has to address a press conference on the subject relating to the funeral of Dr Singh... since his death, the Centre has been preparing to construct a memorial for him," Patra said. "A cabinet meeting was called and a condolence message was issued. It was also decided to pay proper respects to the former PM befitting to his stature. The cabinet has informed both Dr Singh's family and the Congress that a memorial will be built so that everyone can remember his positive contribution. However, time is needed for land acquisition, forming a trust and other formalities. At the same time, cremation should be done as it cannot wait," Patra said. The BJP leader also alleged that the grand old party had "insulted" its leaders - former prime minister PV Narasimha Rao and ex-President Pranab Mukherjee - in the past.

FIFA economic assessment sees positive numbers arising from 2026 World Cup

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is sharing why she divorced Ryan Anderson . Seven months after announcing her separation from the middle school teacher, the former inmate—who is currently pregnant with her and boyfriend Ken Urker ’s first baby—confirmed their divorce has been finalized while also detailing when she realized it was time to leave Ryan. Gypsy, 33, explained to People in an interview published Dec. 9 that in March, the pair had an intense argument that prompted her to have her “first shock” of realizing “holy crap, I’m married.” "It's kind of like, ‘OK, well, you know that you're settling,” Gypsy noted, “that you're kind of pushing on to just do what everybody else does in life, but you're just settling." While the 33-year-old—who tied the knot with Ryan in June 2022, while she was still behind bars for her part in the murder of her mom Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard —explained the former couple had settled their financial disagreements in court, she was hoping to end their relationship on good terms. "I did extend the offer to have a civil conversation for closure purposes," Gypsy continued. "I'm currently waiting on a response. He waived his right to attend [the court date]." Whether Ryan will eventually respond to his ex remains to be seen, but Gypsy is certainly moving toward a brand new chapter: Motherhood. The soon-to-be mom rekindled her romance with Ken—to whom she was engaged from October 2018 to August 2019—this past spring and the pair are expecting a daughter to be named Aurora Raina Urker in January. “I’m in love,” Gypsy told People of Ken in May. “He was a support when I was going through emotional hardship. But then I let myself open up to the feelings I’ve always had for him.” “For the first time in my life, I’m doing something that makes me happy,” she added. “I’m prioritizing me.” Keep reading for a look at Gypsy’s life since she was released from prison. "First Selfie of Freedom!" After being released from prison on Dec. 28, Gypsy Rose Blanchard snapped her first Instagram selfie. "Married Life" Gypsy and then-husband Ryan Anderson shared a glimpse into their new era together. "Sister Love" Gypsy reunited with her sister Mia Blanchard amid her new chapter. Goodbye 2023 "A New Years Eve Eve kiss with my hubby." Turning the Page Gypsy also ended 2023 with an Instagram selfie. Red Carpet Debut Gypsy and Ryan walked their first red carpet at the premiere of her Lifetime docuseries The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard . PDA Alert Gypsy and Ryan kissed on the red carpet at the premiere. Breakup In late March 2024, three months after her prison release, Gypsy shared that she and Ryan broke up . "People have been asking what is going on in my life," she wrote in a statement on her private Facebook page, according to People . "Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou." Physical Transformation Gypsy underwent a rhinopasty and septoplasty (nose job) April 5, 2024. Her physical transformation will be documented on Lifetime's Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up . Divorce Gypsy filed for divorce from Ryan on April 8, 2024, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The filing came nearly two years after their July 2022 prison wedding. Gypsy's Tribute to Her "Soulmate" In late April 2024, weeks after filing for divorce, Gypsy announced she got back together with ex-fiancé Ken Urker . The following month, she made their rekindled romance social media official by sharing a video montage of their romantic moments on TikTok. Love Story In her video, Gypsy described her love story with Ken as "legendary." The Burning Question And when a fan, using her own past comments about ex Ryan, took the oppotunity to ask her in the comments a NSFW question about Ken, Gypsy responded quickly and candidly . Animal Style Gypsy tried her first In-N-Out Burger, a Double-Double burger served animal-style. She rated it a 7. Oh Baby Less than three months after filing for divorce, Gypsy announced that she and her new boyfriend Ken are expecting their first baby together. "I'm happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant," she shared in a July 2024 YouTube video. "This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected." It's a Girl Gypsy and Ken celebrate at their sex reveal party for their first baby in August 2024.

Louisiana Tech earns 108-60 win over Rust

Britain, Germany, France, Italy and several other European countries said Monday they would freeze all pending asylum requests from Syrians, a day after the ouster of president Bashar al-Assad. While Berlin and other governments said they were watching the fast-moving developments in the war-ravaged nation, Austria signalled it would soon deport refugees back to Syria. Far-right politicians elsewhere made similar demands, including in Germany -- home to Europe's largest Syrian community -- at a time when immigration has become a hot-button issue across the continent. Alice Weidel, of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany, reacted with disdain to Sunday's mass rallies by jubilant Syrians celebrating Assad's downfall. "Anyone in Germany who celebrates 'free Syria' evidently no longer has any reason to flee," she wrote on X. "They should return to Syria immediately." World leaders and Syrians abroad watched in disbelief at the weekend as Islamist-led rebels swept into Damascus, ending Assad's brutal rule while also sparking new uncertainty. A German foreign ministry spokesman pointed out that "the fact that the Assad regime has been ended is unfortunately no guarantee of peaceful developments" in the future. Germany has taken in almost one million Syrians, with most arriving in 2015-16 under ex-chancellor Angela Merkel. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said many Syrian refugees "now finally have hope of returning to their Syrian homeland" but cautioned that "the situation in Syria is currently very unclear". The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees had imposed a freeze on decisions for ongoing asylum procedures "until the situation is clearer". She added that "concrete possibilities of return cannot yet be predicted and it would be unprofessional to speculate in such a volatile situation". Rights group Amnesty International slammed Germany's freeze on asylum decisions, stressing that for now "the human rights situation in the country is completely unclear". The head of the UN refugee agency also cautioned that "patience and vigilance" were needed on the issue of refugee returns. In Austria, where about 100,000 Syrians live, conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer instructed the interior ministry "to suspend all ongoing Syrian asylum applications and to review all asylum grants". Interior Minister Gerhard Karner added he had "instructed the ministry to prepare an orderly repatriation and deportation programme to Syria". "The political situation in Syria has changed fundamentally and, above all, rapidly in recent days," the ministry said, adding it is "currently monitoring and analysing the new situation". The French interior ministry said it too would put asylum requests from Syrians on hold, with authorities in Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway announcing similar moves. Britain's interior ministry said it was taking the same measure "whilst we assess the current situation". The Italian government said late Monday after a cabinet meeting that it too was suspending asylum request "in line with other European partners." The leader of the far-right Sweden Democrats, a coalition partner in the government, said residence permits for Syrian refugees should now be "reviewed". "Destructive Islamist forces are behind the change of power" in Syria, wrote their leader Jimmie Akesson on X. "I see that groups are happy about this development here in Sweden. You should see it as a good opportunity to go home." In Greece, a government spokesman voiced hope that Assad's fall will eventually allow "the safe return of Syrian refugees" to their country, but without announcing concrete measures. In Germany, the debate gained momentum as the country heads towards February elections. Achim Brotel, president of a grouping of German communes, called for border controls to stop fleeing Assad loyalists reaching Germany. The centre-right opposition CDU suggested that rejected Syrian asylum-seekers should now lose so-called subsidiary protection. "If the reason for protection no longer applies, then refugees will have to return to their home country," CDU legislator Thorsten Frei told Welt TV. CDU MP Jens Spahn suggested that Berlin charter flights to Syria and offer 1,000 euros ($1,057) to "anyone who wants to return". A member of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats criticised the debate as "populist and irresponsible". Greens party deputy Anton Hofreiter also said "it is completely unclear what will happen next in Syria" and deportation talk was "completely out of place". Many Syrians in Germany have watched the events in their home country with great joy but prefer to wait and see before deciding whether to return. "We want to go back to Syria," said Mahmoud Zaml, 25, who works in an Arabic pastry shop in Berlin, adding that he hopes to help "rebuild" his country. "But we have to wait a bit now," he told AFP. "We have to see what happens and if it is really 100 percent safe, then we will go back to Syria." burs-fz/rlp/phz/gv/givEuropean countries suspend Syrian asylum decisions after Assad's fall

IDF completes raid on north Gaza hospital, says some 240 terror suspects arrested

Genuine Parts Co. stock underperforms Tuesday when compared to competitors

AP Business SummaryBrief at 5:15 p.m. ESTBy FARNOUSH AMIRI, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Rep. Matt Gaetz said Friday that he will not be returning to Congress after withdrawing his name from consideration to be attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump amid growing allegations of sexual misconduct. “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz told conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, adding that he has “some other goals in life that I’m eager to pursue with my wife and my family.” The announcement comes a day after Gaetz, a Florida Republican, stepped aside from the Cabinet nomination process amid growing fallout from federal and House Ethics investigations that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation’s chief federal law enforcement officer. The 42-year-old has vehemently denied the allegations against him. Gaetz’s nomination as attorney general had stunned many career lawyers inside the Justice Department, but reflected Trump’s desire to place a loyalist in a department he has marked for retribution following the criminal cases against him. Hours after Gaetz withdrew, Trump nominated Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, who would come to the job with years of legal work under her belt and that other trait Trump prizes above all: loyalty. It’s unclear what’s next for Gaetz, who is no longer a member of the House. He surprised colleagues by resigning from Congress the same day that Trump nominated him for attorney general. Some speculated he could still be sworn into office for another two-year term on Jan. 3, given that he had just won reelection earlier this month. But Gaetz, who has been in state and national politics for 14 years, said he’s done with Congress. “I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress,” he said.A report from Alberta’s Auditor General flags loose network controls in three Government of Alberta departments as potential risks for unauthorized access to government data and Albertans’ personal information. In its audit of the province’s consolidated financial statements, the auditor general made recommendations to the Ministries of Technology and Innovation, Children and Family Services (CFS), and Seniors, Community and Social Services (SCSS) to improve network security procedures after finding the departments failed to promptly remove ex-employees access privileges. For both CFS and SCSS, the auditor found that terminated employees retained access to IT applications. Previous reports in 2014 and 2020 made the same recommendation to tighten controls for department information systems, and the auditor said it is repeating that direction because it continues to find “user access exceptions.” “Unauthorized individuals may access the department’s systems and be able to use or change critical personal, business, and financial information. This could result in privacy breaches for the department or create opportunities for identity theft. If information in the financial systems was manipulated, this could impair the integrity of the department’s financial reporting and results,” the auditor general’s report warns. Within Information and Technology, the auditor tested 25 sample accounts, and found 13 of these accounts weren’t removed from the network. Five of the 13 accounts “were used to log into the government’s network after the account holders’ employment ended with government.” Department management verified that the users “mainly accessed their own employment data.” An additional 48 ex-employees held on to logins for 11 departmental IT applications, resulting in one unauthorized access to an IT system. The audit also found the department didn’t complete effective reviews of user access rights for 12 of its IT applications, including three where no review was performed during the 2023-24 audit period. Jonathan Gauthier, press secretary to the Ministry of Technology and Innovation, said the department is working to implement the network security recommendations. “Alberta’s government takes security seriously and is committed to continuous improvement to ensure better user experience and provide common, secure, and streamlined access to government services,” Gauthier said. Many of the concerns outlined in the report have already been addressed, Gauthier said. Contractor accounts are set to be automatically terminated at the end of the contract period, and as of spring 2024, employee account removal has been aligned with payroll termination processes. “The existing Access Controls policy has been updated to increase the frequency of reviews of user account access; from annually to quarterly,” he said. “Technology and Innovation is also developing a tool to track compliance to the policy and provide regular reporting. This is expected to be rolled out in the upcoming months. Further improvements to the periodic review of users’ access rights are underway and will be implemented over the coming years.”
