Tesco online customers have been expressing their frustration as they've encountered difficulties in locating a key kitchen ingredient, with the retail giant confirming "supply issues" are to blame. The sought-after item in question is tomato puree, which has become scarce amidst problematic European tomato harvests. Patrons have taken to social media platforms to air their grievances. On November 20, one customer queried: "How come there's been no tomato puree on your online shopping app for weeks? " In response, Tesco acknowledged: "We are aware of a current supply issue with some tomato puree products. This is being looked into." Yet, they were unable to offer a timeframe for resolution, adding: "We have no ETA as to when they will be available again". Another shopper expressed their surprise on the same date, posting: "Shopping online and am shocked that you have no tomato puree in tubes available for delivery, unless I get a whoosh delivery - what gives? " Accompanying their post was a screenshot from the Tesco app displaying out-of-stock items such as Tesco Tomato Puree 200g and Heinz Double Concentrated Tomato Puree 130g. Despite this, it appears other brands like Mutti and Napolina are still available, as well as a selection of jarred tomato pastes. Tesco has been solicited for additional remarks regarding the situation, reports the Manchester Evening News . Keep up to date with all the latest breaking news and top stories from the North East with our free newsletter Recent reports suggest that climate change and other factors are impacting the tomato harvest in Italy, potentially contributing to the shortage. Francesco Mutti, CEO of the Mutti group, warned in Tomato News in September: "Water shortages have affected and are still affecting the fields. If not dealt with as a matter of great urgency, this could become a major problem in the next few years and lead to a significant economic weakening of one of the pillars of our southern Italian economy." However, he did not anticipate any immediate price hikes on supermarket shelves. Meanwhile, the Daily Express reports that changes to inheritance tax could result in further shortages for Tesco shoppers, as it may impact UK food production. From 2026, farmers will receive less generous tax relief, which could force them to sell land, potentially affecting product availability in supermarkets. Tom Amery, managing director at The Watercress Company, cautioned: "If we start selling of any of our farms, the reality is that we wouldn't be able to keep up with the supply. That would then definitely lead to shortages and intermittence in supply." He mentioned Tesco as one retailer that could be impacted, adding: "It could actually affect some of the contracts we have. We have contracts with MandS, Tesco, Asda - we've supplied Waitrose in the past, we could be supplying Waitrose in a couple of years' time." "All of those retailers need this consistent production process. If you don't supply these contracts consistently and you're not producing the crop every day of the year, that's when they get wobbly and they can withdraw products off the shelves."

The JMM-led coalition emerged victorious, demonstrating strong regional support under Hemant Soren's leadership. Despite efforts by the BJP to unseat the JMM in Jharkhand, the electorate's preference for regional governance held firm. The BJD, a dominant political force in Odisha, with five consecutive terms from 2000 to 2024, highlighted the diminished enthusiasm among BJP leaders in response to JMM's victory. BJD leader Lelin Mohanty pointed out the minimal impact of Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi's campaign in Jharkhand, reinforcing the strength of regional trust over national parties in the region. Meanwhile, Odisha BJP President Manmohan Samal congratulated the BJP-led Mahayuti for their triumph in Maharashtra, crediting Prime Minister Modi's leadership. (With inputs from agencies.)
The Sacramento Kings have fired coach Mike Brown less than halfway through his third season with the team mired in a five-game losing streak, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because the firing hadn't been announced by the team. ESPN first reported the firing. Brown won NBA Coach of the Year in his first season in 2022-23, when he helped Sacramento end the longest playoff drought in NBA history at 16 seasons. But Sacramento lost in the play-in tournament last year and was off to a 13-18 start this season, leading to the move to fire Brown about six months after he agreed to a contract extension through the 2026-27 season. The Kings have lost an NBA-worst nine games this season after leading in the fourth quarter with the worst one coming in Brown's final game as coach Thursday night against Detroit. Sacramento led by 10 points with less than three minutes to play only to collapse down the stretch. Jaden Ivey converted a four-point play with 3 seconds left when he made a 3-pointer in the right corner and was fouled by De’Aaron Fox. That gave the Pistons a 114-113 win, leaving the Kings in 12th place in the Western Conference. The Kings came into the season with hopes of finishing in the top six in the West and avoiding the play-in tournament after acquiring DeMar DeRozan in a sign-and-trade deal over the summer to add to a core that featured Fox, Domanta Sabonis and Keegan Murray. Fox, who is in the second-to-last year of his five-year, $163 million contract, declined to sign an extension in the offseason. He said on a podcast with Draymond Green earlier this month that he wanted to be on a team that could “compete at a high level.” Sacramento has been far from that this season, thanks in large part to an NBA-worst 3-11 record in games decided by five points or fewer. Brown publicly criticized Fox for his role in the game-winning play Thursday night, saying he should have been closer to Ivey instead of committing a foul on a close out. "You should be hugged up to your man at the 3-point line,” Brown said. “Everybody should, and why there was a closeout by Fox, I’m not sure. I got to go back and watch the tape. But for sure 100% we told our guys, can’t give up a 3, can’t give up a 3, can’t give up a 3, stay on the high side, stay on the high side.” Brown has a 107-88 record in two-plus seasons in Sacramento with a winning record in both of his full seasons. Rick Adelman is the only other coach to post a winning record in a full season since the Kings moved to Sacramento Brown previously had two stints as coach in Cleveland and spent one-plus season as Lakers coach. He has a 455-304 record and has made the playoffs in seven of his nine full seasons. He won Coach of the Year twice, also getting the award in Cleveland in 2008-09. AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump's supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump's movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump's Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer's comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar." Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry's need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump's world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world's richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump's movement but his stance on the tech industry's hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry's need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent," he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Trump's own positions over the years have reflected the divide in his movement. His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump's businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country" and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he told the “All-In" podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump's budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.

Magic beat Pistons 111-100 behind Franz Wagner's 30 pointsWEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
