WorkWork98-1: A Single Iowa County Prevented a Trump Shutout in the Caucuses   But turnout fell sharply across the state this year, the lowest since the Republican caucuses in 2000, and urban counties lost thousands of votes. In the end, Ms. Haley fell far short in Iowa’s largest cities, losing by wide margins to Mr. Trump — and sometimes behind Mr. DeSantis — in the counties that include Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Sioux City.
WorkWorkDolan, Weinstein accused of sexual assault in suit  \"That is a puzzling response for the Commissioner to make,\" Wigdor told ESPN. \"No reputable chairperson in corporate America would \'stand by\' and \'wait\' after reading that a federal complaint was filed against one of their executives alleging sexual assault and sex trafficking. The NBA and the NHL for that matter should be no different. We are fully prepared to participate in any fair and unbiased investigation by both commissioners as these allegations are relevant to the integrity and public confidence of the respective leagues.\"
WorkTrump Signals Plans to Go After Intelligence Community in Document Case  That portrait was in keeping with Mr. Trump’s persistent refrain that the so-called “deep state” has been out to get him nearly from the moment he entered public service. Such allegations have proved politically useful to Mr. Trump even if his evidence in support of them has often been dubious or lacking. WorkU.S. to Return Houthis to Terrorism List  But the designation also reflects a careful effort to strike a balance, one that protects the flow of desperately needed humanitarian aid to the people of Yemen, who have endured famine, disease and displacement through more than a decade of civil war after the Houthis seized the country’s capital in September 2014.
WorkWorkNeed to Know: Davos 2024 — The Zelenskyy edition  P.S. It’s time for a new souvenir hat—maybe a Barbie-pink one from the AI House if you’re so inclined. The iconic blue hats from Zurich Insurance, a regular giveaway on the Promenade in years past, aren’t available this year. A sign on the Promenade explains why.
WorkTobacco and alcohol fuel surprise inflation rise  \"Prices are still rising in the shops, with the average weekly shop £110 more than it was before the last general election, and the average family set to be £1,200 worse off under Rishi Sunak\'s tax plan,\" she said. Work
WorkApple overtakes Samsung as world's biggest phonemaker  The IDC also said the smartphone market is entering a \"very interesting time\", with a growing number of Android-providers splintering the market and customers increasingly prioritising foldable phones and AI capabilities. WorkFBI investigate after ex-Abercrombie boss sex claims  The lawsuit alleges that it is likely more than 100 men were sexually abused by Mr Jeffries while he was chief executive and that young men were manipulated \"under the guise of providing them with the modelling opportunity of their dreams - becoming an Abercrombie model\".
WorkU.K. Inflation Edges Higher, Halting 10-Month Slide  The situation appears to be changing quite quickly now. Inflation could drop to 2 percent as soon as the spring, around April or May, according to economists at Goldman Sachs, ING, Oxford Economics and elsewhere. That would bring it to the target about a year and a half earlier than the Bank of England recently forecast. WorkAirbus Is Pulling Ahead as Boeing’s Troubles Mount  Shares in Airbus, a consortium with factories and offices in several European countries, soared to a record Friday after its chief executive, Guillaume Faury, said the company had won 2,094 orders for new aircraft in 2023, the most in a single year. That includes the popular single-aisle A320neo planes, its main competitor to the 737 Max.
WorkDo You Have ‘Bookshelf Wealth’?  This literary look, she went on to say, goes well with pictures hung willy-nilly on the walls, sometimes even partly blocking the shelves, as well as mismatched fabric patterns and a bit of clutter. WorkThe Crochet Coral Reef Keeps Spawning, Hyperbolically  Crochet Coral Reef exhibitions typically have two main components: The Wertheims provide an anchor, of sorts, with works from their collection that they have crocheted over the years. They also incorporate pieces by select skilled international contributors. One is a “bleached reef,” evoking corals stressed by increases in ocean temperature; another, a “coral forest” made from yarn and plastic, laments the debris that pollutes reef systems. WorkWorkU.S. Strikes Houthi Targets in Yemen for a Third Time  “We’re not looking for a war; we’re not looking to expand this,” John F. Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman, told reporters on Tuesday, adding, “We will continue to defend against them and counter them as appropriate.” WorkWorkSenate Advances Stopgap Bill to Avert a Partial Shutdown  It was unclear whether conservatives in the Senate who are opposed to the deal would try to slow its consideration. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the minority leader, signaled his support for the bill. WorkOpinion | The Genocide Charge Against Israel Is a Moral Obscenity  If Israel were trying to commit genocide, it wouldn’t be putting its soldiers at risk or allowing humanitarian relief to arrive from Egypt or withdrawing many of its forces from Gaza. It would simply be killing Palestinians everywhere, in vastly greater numbers, as Germans killed Jews or Hutus killed Tutsis. WorkMacron, Promising a More Dynamic France, Vows to Break Taboos  In a France already troubled by pro-market changes pushed through in Mr. Macron’s first term, which brought unemployment to its lowest level in many years, his promise of renewed deregulation was certain to meet resistance from the many French people attached to a high degree of state-financed social protection. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkBP appoints Murray Auchincloss as permanent CEO  BP shares dipped 0.8% at the open Wednesday in the wake of the announcement. Kate Thomson remains interim chief financial officer, with the process to make a permanent appointment for the post still ongoing, a BP spokesperson told CNBC by email.

In Hwange, we haven’t recorded any poached elephant in the past two years. We need to continue doing law enforcement and patrolling,” said Farawo. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkRussia-Ukraine war live: Belarus proposes new rule to provide for use of nuclear weapons  Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has said that “if we want to help Ukraine, which I think we need to do, we have to do it in a way that doesn’t harm the EU’s budget”. At least 120 MEPs have signed a petition for Hungary’s voting rights to be suspended because of Orbán’s obstruction of EU processes including the approval of aid to Ukraine. Orbán is close to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkUK inflation rise complicates outlook on interest rates  Then again, much-predicted declines in the CPI during February, March and April, taking inflation down to 2% – notwithstanding an escalation of the Middle East conflict and its effect on shipping – could prove financial market bets to be more savvy than they currently look. WorkUK inflation unexpectedly rises as cost of tobacco and alcohol increases  Labour’s shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves, said: “Any rise in inflation is bad news for families who are worse off after 14 years of economic failure. Prices are still rising in the shops, with the average weekly shop £110 more than it was before the last general election, and the average family set to be £1,200 worse off under Rishi Sunak’s tax plan.” |
