Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former member of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), was arrested from Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday. He was denied bail and sent to jail by the Chattogram’s Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate court in a sedition case on Tuesday. “With utter dismay, we note that the arrest of Chinmoy Das has been misconstrued by some speakers, although he was actually arrested on specific charges. The matter is being dealt with by our court of law,” Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the UN Offices and other international organisations in Geneva Tareq Md Ariful Islam said. Islam made the statement during the 17th session of the Forum on Minorities Issues that took place in Geneva on November 28-29. After Das, the leader of the Hindu group Sammilita Sanatani Jote, was sent to prison, it triggered protests by Hindus in various locations, including the capital Dhaka and the port city of Chattogram. India has noted the developments with deep concern even as a diplomatic row has erupted between the two South Asian neighbours. During the session, some Bangladeshi NGOs and individuals spoke about the situation in the country. A representative of the International Forum for Secular Bangladesh (IFSB) said that the situation right now in the country is “very alarming” and a “very burning issue.” Referring to Das’ arrest, the representative said that ISKCON is a very popular and peaceful organisation but the former ISKCON leader has been arrested with “nothing accused against him. He was arrested three days before in Dhaka and now Bangladesh every day .... the police, army ... every day, they are torturing the minority.” Islam said that Bangladesh reaffirms that every Bangladeshi, regardless of religious identity, has the right to practice their respective religion or express views freely. “Ensuring safety and security of every citizen, including from the minority community, remains the cornerstone of the interim government of Bangladesh,” Islam said. “This has been repeatedly reassured to minority religious leaders by our top leadership, and proved time and again in the first 100 days” of the interim government led by the Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, he added. The post August 5 violence in Bangladesh was rooted in political and personal factors, not sectarian, he noted. “The violence affected people, mostly with partisan political affiliations, almost all of them being Muslims, and only a few from other religious minority groups.” Deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India on August 5 following widespread protests against her Awami League-led government over a controversial job quota system. Three days later, Yunus, a Nobel laureate, took over as the Chief Adviser of the interim government. Ariful Islam said that “there was no systematic attack on minorities” and following the mass uprising in July, the world witnessed “how the entire society of Bangladesh came forward to protect its minorities.” He added that “unfortunately” there have been “a fiery of exaggerated, unfounded and fake reports and deliberate spread of misinformation and disinformation by vested quarters regarding minority persecution. Sadly, we saw it happening at this forum too.” He said the Bangladeshi government “remains vigilant and will continue to act promptly to maintain religious harmony at any cost and thwart any attempt to undermine rights of minorities.” Following this week's anti-Hindu incidents -- including Das' arrest and attacks on Hindu temples and community members -- India on Friday said the interim government in Bangladesh must live up to its responsibility of protecting all minorities as it expressed serious concern over the “surge” of extremist rhetoric and increasing incidents of violence against Hindus as well as attacks on temples. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told Parliament that India has taken serious note of incidents of violence against minorities in Bangladesh and that it is the primary responsibility of Dhaka to protect the life and liberty of all the citizens, including minorities. On the other hand, Bangladesh on Friday expressed deep concern over the violent protest at the Deputy High Commission in Kolkata and urged New Delhi to ensure the safety of all its diplomatic missions in India.

In August 2022, security researchers went public with a warning that a group of hackers had targeted over 130 organizations as part of a sophisticated phishing campaign that stole the credentials of almost 10,000 employees. The hackers were specifically targeting companies that used Okta , a single sign-on provider used by thousands of companies worldwide to let their employees log in from home. Because of its focus on Okta, the hacking group was dubbed “0ktapus .” To date, the group hacked Caesars Entertainment , Coinbase , DoorDash , Mailchimp , Riot Games , Twilio ( twice ), and dozens more . The hackers’ most notable sizable cyberattack by way of downtime and impact was the hack against MGM Resorts in September 2023, which reportedly cost the casino and hotel giant at least $100 million. In that case, the hackers worked with the Russian-speaking ransomware gang ALPHV, and demanded a ransom from MGM for the company to get its files back. The hack was so disruptive that the casinos owned by MGM had trouble providing services for days. For the last two years, as law enforcement has been closing in on the hackers, people in the cybersecurity industry tried to figure out exactly how to categorize the hackers and whether to put them in one group or another. The hackers’ techniques, such as social engineering, email and text message phishing, and SIM swapping, are common and widespread. Some of the individual hackers were part of several groups responsible for different data breaches. These circumstances have made it difficult to understand exactly who belongs in what group. Cybersecurity giant CrowdStrike dubbed this umbrella group of hackers “Scattered Spider ,” and researchers believe there is some overlap with 0ktapus. The group was so active — and successful — that U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA and the FBI issued an advisory in late 2023 with details on the group’s activities and techniques, in an attempt to help organizations prepare for and defend against anticipated attacks. Scattered Spider is “a cybercriminal group that targets large companies and their contracted IT help desks,” CISA wrote in its advisory. The agency warned that the group “have typically engaged in data theft for extortion,” and noted their known links to ransomware gangs. One thing that’s relatively certain is that the hackers are mostly English-speaking, and widely believed to be in their teens and early-20s — and sometimes referred to as “ advanced persistent teenagers .” “There is a disproportionate number of minors involved, and that’s because the group deliberately recruits minors because of the lenient legal environment these minors exist in and they know nothing will happen to them if the police catch a kid,” Allison Nixon, chief research officer at Unit 221B, told TechCrunch at the time. Over the last two years, some of the members of 0ktapus and Scattered Spider have been linked with a similarly nebulous group of cybercriminals known as “ the Com .” People in this wider cybercrime community have committed crimes that crossed over into the real world. Some of them have been responsible for violent acts, such as robberies, burglaries, and brickings — hiring thugs to throw bricks at someone’s house or apartment; as well as swatting — where someone tricks authorities into believing there’s a violent crime happening, triggering the armed police unit to intervene. While born as a prank, swatting is known to have fatal consequences . After two years of hacking, authorities are finally starting to identify and charge members of Scattered Spider. In July, U.K. police confirmed the arrest of a 17-year-old in connection to the hack at MGM. In November, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it had indicted five hackers: Ahmed Hossam Eldin Elbadawy, 23, of College Station, Texas; Noah Michael Urban, 20, of Palm Coast, Florida, who had been arrested in January ; Evans Onyeaka Osiebo, 20, of Dallas, Texas; Joel Martin Evans, 25, of Jacksonville, North Carolina; and Tyler Robert Buchanan, 22, from the United Kingdom, who was arrested in June in Spain .

The report prepared by the FIFA Sub-Committee on Human Rights & Social Responsibility looked into a request made at the FIFA Congress by the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF), who asked what steps FIFA might take to compensate workers. FIFA launched a $50 million legacy fund this week for social programmes but was criticised by Amnesty International for not doing anything for families of migrant workers who died or were exploited when building Qatar's stadiums for the World Cup. The Middle Eastern country has denied that workers were exploited. "There are workers who have contributed to the resounding success of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 who have not yet benefited from any, or any adequate, remediation," said the report, which was published 11 months after it was submitted. "Whilst the main responsibility to rectify such shortcomings lies with the direct employers of these workers as well as with the Government of Qatar... FIFA too has a responsibility to take additional measures to contribute to the provision of remedy to these workers." The report said many "human rights impacts" occurred in Qatar from 2010-2022 for workers, including deaths, injuries, wages not being paid for months and debt faced by workers and their families reimbursing fees they paid to obtain jobs. "The due diligence measures put in place by FIFA and its partners did not prevent these severe impacts from occurring," it added. FAIR COMPENSATION "The report provides clear guidelines to FIFA on what constitutes effective and fair restitution to ensure migrant workers get the compensation they are entitled to," NFF president Lise Klaveness said. "FIFA must now implement the recommendations in the report and ensure that migrant workers who contributed to the World Cup are fairly compensated." FIFA said all reports and recommendations were considered during a comprehensive review. "While all recommendations could not be met, practical and impactful elements were retained. It should be noted that the study did not specifically constitute a legal assessment of the obligation to remedy," a FIFA spokesperson told Reuters. The spokesperson added that the creation of the legacy fund was "unanimously endorsed" by the FIFA Council while a Workers' Support and Insurance Fund was established in Qatar in 2018. At the World Cup in Doha, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the Workers' Support and Insurance Fund had provided compensation of more than $350 million to workers in cases mainly related to non-payment of wages. Amnesty and other rights groups had led calls for FIFA to compensate migrant workers for human rights abuses by setting aside $440 million, matching the World Cup prize money. REUTERS

GCC-4001 by Artiva Biotherapeutics for Follicular Lymphoma: Likelihood of ApprovalHarris Dickinson was nervous to approach Nicole Kidman. This would not necessarily be notable under normal circumstances, but the English actor had already been cast to star opposite her in as the intern who initiates an affair with Kidman’s buttoned-up CEO. They’d had a zoom with the who was excited by their playful banter and sure that Dickinson would hold his own. And yet when he found himself at the same event as Kidman, shyness took over. He admitted as much to who took things into her own hands and introduced them. “She helped me break the ice a bit,” Dickinson said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. On set would be an entirely different story. Dickinson might not be nearly as “puckishly audacious” as his character Samuel but in the making of “Babygirl,” he, Kidman and Reijn had no choice but to dive fearlessly into this exploration of sexual power dynamics, going to intimate, awkward, exhilarating and meme-able places. It’s made the film, in theaters Christmas Day, one of the year’s must-sees. “There was an unspoken thing that we adhered to,” Dickinson said. “We weren’t getting to know each other’s personal lives. When we were working and we were the characters, we didn’t veer away from the material. I never tried to attach all of the history of Nicole Kidman. Otherwise it probably would have been a bit of a mess.” His is a performance that reconfirms what many in the film world have suspected since his debut seven years ago as a Brooklyn tough questioning his sexuality in Eliza Hittman’s : Dickinson is one of the most exciting young talents around. Dickinson, 28, grew up in Leytonstone, in East London — the same neck of the woods as Cinema was in his life, whether it was at the local multiplex or venturing into town to see the more social realist films of and “Working class cinema interested me,” he said. “People around me that represented my world.” Appropriately, his entry into making art started behind the camera, with a comedy web series he made as a kid, which he now describes as “really bad spoofs” of films and shows of the time. But things started to really click when he began acting in the local theater. “I remember feeling invigorated by it and accepted,” he said. “I felt myself for the first time and felt able to express myself in a way where I didn’t feel vulnerable and I felt alive and ignited by something.” At around 17, someone suggested that he should give acting a try professionally. He hadn’t even fully understood that it was a career possibility, but he started auditioning. At 20, he was cast in “Beach Rats” and, he said, just “kept going.” Since then, he’s gotten a wide range of opportunities in films both big, including and small. He’s captivated as a male model in Ruben Östlund’s Cannes-winning an estranged father to a 12-year-old in Charlotte Regan’s “Scrapper,” an actor bringing an ex-boyfriend to life in Joanna Hogg’s the charismatic, tragic wrestler David Von Erich in Sean Durkin’s and a soldier in But “Babygirl” would present new challenges and opportunities with a character who’s almost impossible to define. “He was confusing in a really interesting way. There wasn’t loads of specificity to it, which I enjoyed because it was a bit of a challenge to sort of pinpoint exactly what it was that drove him and made him tick,” Dickinson said. “There was a directness that unlocked a lot for me, like a fearlessness with the way he spoke, or a social unawareness in a way — like not fully realizing what he’s saying is affecting someone in a certain way. But I didn’t make too many rules for him.” Part of the allure of the film is the ever-shifting power dynamics between the two characters, which could change over the course of a scene. As Reijn said, “It’s a cautionary tale about what happens when you suppress your own desires.” She was especially in awe of Dickinson’s ability to make everything feel improvised and the fact that he could look like a 12-year-old boy in one shot and a confident 45-year-old man in the next. Since its premiere at the earlier this year, the film has led to some surprisingly direct conversations with audiences spanning generations. But that, Dickinson understood, was what Reijn wanted. “She really wanted to show the ugliness and the awkwardness of these things, of these relationships and sex,” he said. “That sort of fumbly version and the performative version of it is way more interesting, to me at least, than the kind of fantasized, romanticized, sexy thing that we’ve seen a lot.” Dickinson recently stepped behind the camera again, directing his first feature film under the banner of his newly formed production company. Set against the backdrop of homelessness in London, “Dream Space” is about a drifter trying to assimilate and understand his cyclical behavior. The film, which wrapped earlier this year, has given him a heightened appreciation for just how many people are indispensable in the making of a film. He’s also started to understand that “acting is just being able to relax.” “When you’re relaxed, you can do stuff that is truthful,” he said. “That only happens if you’ve got good people around you: The director that creates the good environment. The intimacy coordinator facilitating a safe space. A coworker in Nicole encouraging that kind of bravery and performance with what she’s doing.” Dickinson did eventually get to the point where he managed to ask Kidman questions about working with Stanley Kubrick and Lars Von Trier. But he also kept one shattering possibility between himself and his director. “There is a world in which Samuel doesn’t even exist. He’s just a sort of a device or a figment for her own story. And I like that because it kind of means you can take the character into a very unrealistic realm at times and be almost like a deity in the story,” Dickinson said. “We didn’t talk about it with Nicole.”Why CEOs Are Cheering Donald Trump’s Pick for Treasury SecretaryRanchi, Nov 23 (PTI) Kalpana Soren, wife of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, has emerged as a powerful force in the party that revitalised the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). Her political journey, which was never her initial choice, began in earnest after her husband’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on January 31 in connection with a money laundering case tied to an alleged land fraud. Despite the personal and political challenges posed by her husband’s legal battles, Kalpana has proven to be a resilient and dynamic leader. She became a vocal figure in the opposition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing the party of being a “tyrannical force” targeting the opposition INDIA bloc. Her leadership became especially prominent during the Lok Sabha elections, where she campaigned vigorously and led the JMM’s efforts in Jharkhand, gaining the support of tribal communities and others. Kalpana’s political rise gained significant momentum after her husband’s release from jail and his subsequent return to office as Chief Minister in July. She emphasised that tribals, by their very nature, do not bow to oppression, a sentiment that has resonated with many in the state. Her message has been clear – she stands firm against injustice and dictatorial forces, taking inspiration from her husband’s refusal to compromise on his principles. Kalpana’s political journey began on March 4 at the JMM’s 51st Foundation Day celebration in Giridih district, where she claimed that a conspiracy had been orchestrated by opponents since the Hemant Soren coalition government came to power in 2019. Hemant Soren was arrested by the ED on January 31 in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged land fraud. He resigned from his post before the arrest. Kalpana has been a prominent figure in INDIA bloc rallies in Jharkhand and campaigned for the alliance in the state. She was one of the key speakers at the ‘Ulgulan Nyay’ rally in Ranchi, attended by leaders of 28 parties on April 21. She won the Gandey bypoll, held in June along with Lok Sabha polls by 27,149 votes over her nearest BJP rival Dilip Kumar Verma and ever since has not looked back. Through her about 200 rallies in assembly elections this time, Kalpana has infused new blood in the party and has emerged as a powerful face. Kalpana, 48, holds engineering and MBA degrees. “I will fight against injustice and dictatorial forces as bowing is not in tribal DNA. I will follow my husband’s footsteps. He chose to court imprisonment rather than compromise his values. I am his better half and will see to it that tyrannical forces get a befitting reply,” Kalpana emphasises. She terms her husband’s arrest by the ED as politically motivated and part of a plan to coerce him to join the BJP. “His arrest was part of a plan by the central government to browbeat, intimidate, and humiliate him, but they will get a befitting reply in the elections,” she had said. Kalpana completed her schooling in Baripada in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district and obtained her engineering and MBA degrees in Bhubaneswar. Speculation regarding Kalpana’s candidacy arose following the resignation of Ahmad in December, with the BJP claiming it was to facilitate her candidacy in case the ED issued summonses to her husband. The BJP in the state has been attacking Kalpana, saying that Champai Soren was a “caretaker and puppet chief minister” while she was the “centre of power” in Jharkhand. “All of you have reached this far in this great election campaign by shedding your blood and sweat. Every vote is precious for us. That is why we have to maintain our passion and fighting spirit until we get the certificate of victory,” she emphasises. Now her luck is sealed in the EVM as she once again contested from Gandey. Kalpana has been making headlines now as Hemant finds himself increasingly facing heat from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a case pertaining to an alleged land scam. As the ED turns up the heat on the CM, Kalpana is set to remain in the limelight. PTI NAM MNB MNB This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Ready Capital Co. Announces Quarterly Dividend of $0.25 (NYSE:RC)Larry Wilson: Mr. Schiff goes to Washington, again
Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders moved past Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka on Sunday to set the NFL record for most receiving yards by a tight end in his rookie season and also set the record for most receptions by a rookie, regardless of position. Bowers has 108 receptions to top the mark set last season by Puka Nacua (105) of the Los Angeles Rams. Bowers' yardage stands at 1,144 after having seven receptions for 77 yards in a 25-10 road victory over the New Orleans Saints. Bowers also set a franchise receptions for catches in a season, surpassing Darren Waller (107 in 2020). "It's awesome," Bowers said of the records in a postgame interview on Fox. " You never know what to expect coming up to the next level. It's been everything and more." Bowers' third catch on Sunday -- a 13-yard grab late in the second quarter against the Saints -- pushed his season total to 1,087 yards. Ditka totaled 1,076 receiving yards in 14 games with the Chicago Bears in 1961. Bowers, 22, set the record for receptions by a rookie tight end earlier this season by eclipsing the total of 86 reeled in by Sam LaPorta of the Detroit Lions in 2023. Bowers was selected by the Raiders with the 13th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite all his catches, he has just four scoring receptions. While with Georgia, Bowers was the first back-to-back winner of the Mackey Award (2022, 2023), which is given to the top tight end in college football. --Field Level MediaEducators need public support to create schools that are welcoming and foster a sense of belonging for all students, education researchers John Rogers and Joseph Kahne write.
Philadelphia Eagles clinch NFC East by crushing weak CowboysISTANBUL A top Syrian diplomat on Monday criticized the ousted Assad regime, saying it operated like a “corrupt mafia” that exploited the nation for personal gain. Once a staunch supporter of former leader Bashar Assad, Bashar Jaafari, Syria’s ambassador in Moscow, expressed his disillusionment in comments to the press. “I’m speaking about the Syrian state, not the regime,” he said. “You might be surprised to hear me say that there was never a real regime at any point. If there had been, it would have defended itself.” Jaafari’s remarks followed the fall of the Assad regime, which crumbled on Dec. 8 after opposition forces entered Damascus. “What existed was a corrupt mafia system that served its own interests. You’ve seen how quickly that system fell. This national dialogue is promising because the new political leadership is making attractive commitments to all sectors of Syrian society. Hopefully, these will be realized effectively, peacefully, and without violence.” During his diplomatic career, Jaafari held various positions within Syria’s Foreign Ministry and served in Syrian embassies worldwide. In 2006, he became Syria’s permanent representative to the UN. During his tenure, Jaafari strongly defended the Assad regime, repeatedly denying allegations of human rights abuses. He also tried to justify the regime’s actions on international platforms, often clashing with global officials. Assad, Syria’s leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec. 8, ending the Baath Party regime, which had been in power since 1963. The takeover came after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters captured key cities in a lightning offensive that lasted less than two weeks.
Nuclear sector pins hopes on 2026 for ‘low-carbon’ hydrogen label Nuclear energy advocates are pushing for the European Commission to label nuclear-derived hydrogen as ‘low-carbon’, but several industry sources told Euractiv that would prefer the decision is brought forward to 2026 instead of the scheduled 2028. In late September, the European Commission released for consultation a draft legal text, or ‘delegated act’, setting out criteria to determine whether hydrogen can be officially labeled as ‘low carbon’. This move drew the wrath of nuclear defenders, as the draft text proposed postponing a decision on whether hydrogen produced exclusively with nuclear energy can be eligible for the low-carbon label until 1 July 2028. Hydrogen produced exclusively with nuclear energy would entail a hydrogen producer signing a power purchase agreement, known as a ‘nuclear PPA’ with a nuclear energy provider. The nuclear industry wants a decision made much sooner. told The inclusion of nuclear PPAs would enhance predictability, mobilising private financing for new net zero technologies needed to meet EU climate goals,” a spokesperson for Fortum, the largest Finnish energy producer, In its response to the Commission’s public consultation, Fortum for an earlier recognition of nuclear PPA and said that the Commission should accelerate work by initiating a study in early 2025. Four corroborating sources from European industry and decision-makers suggest that the industry could be satisfied if the review date was brought forward from 2028 to early 2026. Industry sources argued that the move is necessary to meet Europe’s 2030 hydrogen production targets. “This would avoid delaying certain investment decisions in industrial projects requiring low-carbon hydrogen,” one source told Euractiv. In France, for example, Gravithy, which wants to produce ‘carbon-free’ iron, “expresses serious concerns about the proposal to postpone in [sic] 4 years the potential inclusion of nuclear PPAs,” it said in . With the text, “We can now say that Europe will be a long way from achieving its target of installing 40 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030,” French electrolyser producer McPhy argued in its . Antoine Bizet, Deputy Director of European Affairs at EDF, suggests that rather than waiting for the 2028 deadline, this period should be used to establish a so-called in Brussels ‘regulatory sandbox’, i.e. allowing experimenting with nuclear PPAs and then take stock of their contribution, he tells Euractiv. An energy industry source in Brussels argued that another approach would be for the EU Commission “to retain its approach for this delegated act, but to ensure that it comes back to (i.e. endorses) nuclear PPPs in 2025 or 2026, through another legislative vehicle such as a hydrogen strategy or the Clean Industrial Deal.” The text poses problems on other points, particularly regarding legal certainty, through the possibility given to the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition (DG COMP) of imposing additional criteria to qualify or not hydrogen is low-carbon to benefit from state aid. said Having completed the consultation process, the EU Commission will return to the delegated act as soon as the College of Commissioners is in place, according to Mechthild Wörsdörfer, Deputy Director-General of the European Commission’s energy services. Wörsdörfer was speaking the EU Hydrogen Week in Brussels on 19 November. This could happen as soon as 1 December, after the European Parliament’s expected vote of confidence on 27 November. Industry sources do not expect any announcements from the Commission before the beginning of 2025.
