The decision came a day after Hasina made her first public speech in a virtual address to supporters of her Awami League party in New York. In the speech, she accused Bangladesh’s interim leader, Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus , of perpetrating genocide and failing to protect minorities , especially Hindus, since her ouster. The Dhaka-based International Crimes Tribunal made the decision in response to a request by government prosecutors for a ban on any speeches by Hasina on mainstream or social media, prosecutor Golam Monawar Hossain Tamim said. Hasina fled to India after being ousted in a mass uprising in July and August in which hundreds of protesters were killed and thousands were injured. She faces many court cases over the deaths, including some on charges of crimes against humanity. The tribunal has already issued arrest warrants for Hasina and her close aides, and the government has sought help from the international police organization Interpol for her arrest . Prosecutors said in their request to the tribunal that some speeches and phone calls by Hasina had been disseminated on electronic media and could interfere in the investigation of the charges against her by influencing or frightening witnesses. “If speeches like these are published and broadcast, we won’t be able to bring witnesses to the tribunal during trials,” Tamim said. He said the tribunal also ordered authorities to remove leaked speeches and phone conversations from media platforms. Hasina established the tribunal during her 15-year rule. It was used to try people accused of war crimes during Bangladesh’s war of independence with Pakistan in 1971. Politicians belonging mainly to the Jamaat-e-Islami party were executed after being found guilty by the tribunal. On Wednesday, Hasina told her supporters in New York that there had been plans to assassinate her and her sister Sheikh Rehana just like their father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, an independence leader who was assassinated in 1975 along with most of his family. Only Hasina and her younger sister survived because they were visiting Germany at that time. She said armed protesters had been instructed to head to her residence in Dhaka and she was forced to flee to India so that security guards would not have to fire at the approaching crowd. “If the security guards opened fire, many lives would have been lost," she said. "I was forced to leave. I told them not to open fire, no matter what happened.” Media reports said more such public speeches are planned by Hasina to address her supporters in the coming weeks. Hasina has good relations with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Tensions between India and Muslim-majority Bangladesh have grown since her departure over incidents such as the jailing of a prominent Hindu leader in Bangladesh and attacks on a diplomatic office in India by Hindus. Yunus has been meeting with political and religious leaders urging them to stay united. On Wednesday, he held a dialogue with most political parties except Hasina's Awami League party and the Jatiya Party which are facing severe challenges under the Yunus-led administration. On Thursday, Yunus met with religious leaders and said there was no division among Bangladeshis when it comes to national issues. Bangladesh has been facing crucial challenges since Hasina's ouster in August amid mob justice, rising commodity prices, errant street protests and an unstable economy. The security situation remains a major concern. About 700 inmates including many criminals and radical Islamists still remain at large after jailbreaks during the political chaos in August.

Despite the advancements in technology and the impressive graphics of modern video games, there is still a certain intangible quality that actors like Harrison Ford bring to their performances that cannot be replicated in a digital format. The human element, the emotions, and the subtle nuances that actors bring to their roles are what make characters truly come to life on screen, and it is these qualities that fans often find lacking in digital recreations of beloved characters.
Docusign Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial ResultsSome tech industry leaders are pushing the incoming Trump administration to increase visas for highly skilled workers from other nations. The heart of the argument is, for America to remain competitive, the country needs to expand the number of skilled visas it gives out. The previous Trump administration did not increase the skilled visa program, instead clamping down on visas for students and educated workers, increasing denial rates. Not everyone in corporate America thinks the skilled worker program is great. Former workers at IT company Cognizant recently won a federal class-action lawsuit that said the company favored Indian employees over Americans from 2013 to 2022. A Bloomberg investigation found Cognizant, and other similar outsourcing companies, mainly used its skilled work visas for lower-level positions. Workers alleged Cognizant preferred Indian workers because they could be paid less and were more willing to accept inconvenient or less-favorable assignments. Question: Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers? Economists Caroline Freund, University of California-San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy YES: Innovation is our superpower and it relies on people. Sourcing talent from 8 billion people in the world instead of 330 million here makes sense. Nearly half our Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Growing them also relies on expanding our skilled workforce. The cap on skilled-worker visas has hardly changed since the computer age started. With AI on the horizon, attracting and building talent is more important than ever. Kelly Cunningham, San Diego Institute for Economic Research YES: After years of openly allowing millions of undocumented entrants into the country, why is there controversy over legally increasing somewhat the number having desirable skills? Undocumented immigration significantly impacts lower skill level jobs and wages competing with domestic workers at every skill level. Why should special cases be made against those having higher skills? Could they just not walk across the border anyway, why make it more inconvenient to those with desirable skills? James Hamilton, University of California-San Diego YES: Knowledge and technology are key drivers of the U.S. economy. Students come from all over the world to learn at U.S. universities, and their spending contributed $50 billion to U.S. exports last year. Technological advantage is what keeps us ahead of the rest of the world. Highly skilled immigrants contribute much more in taxes than they receive in public benefits. The skills immigrants bring to America can make us all better off. Norm Miller, University of San Diego YES: According to Forbes, the majority of billion-dollar startups were founded by foreigners. I’ve interviewed dozens of data analysts and programmers from Berkeley, UCSD, USD and a few other schools and 75% of them are foreign. There simply are not enough American graduates to fill the AI and data mining related jobs now exploding in the U.S. If we wish to remain a competitive economy, we need highly skilled and bright immigrants to come here and stay. David Ely, San Diego State University YES: Being able to employ highly skilled workers from a larger pool of candidates would strengthen the competitiveness of U.S. companies by increasing their capacity to perform research and innovate. This would boost the country’s economic output. Skilled workers from other nations that cannot remain in the U.S. will find jobs working for foreign rivals. The demand for H-1B visas far exceeds the current cap of 85,000, demonstrating a need to modify this program. Executives Phil Blair, Manpower YES: Every country needs skilled workers, at all levels, to grow its economy. We should take advantage of the opportunity these workers provide our employers who need these skills. It should be blended into our immigration policies allowing for both short and long term visas. Gary London, London Moeder Advisors YES: San Diego is a premiere example of how highly skilled workers from around the globe enrich a community and its regional economy. Of course Visa levels need to be increased. But let’s go further. Tie visas and immigration with a provision that those who are admitted and educated at a U.S. university be incentivized, or even required, to be employed in the U.S. in exchange for their admittance. Bob Rauch, R.A. Rauch & Associates NO: While attracting high-skilled immigrants can fill critical gaps in sectors like technology, health care and advanced manufacturing, increasing high-skilled immigration could displace American workers and drive down wages in certain industries. There are already many qualified American workers available for some of these jobs. We should balance the need for specialized skills with the impact on the domestic workforce. I believe we can begin to increase the number of visas after a careful review of abuse. Austin Neudecker, Weave Growth YES: We should expand skilled visas to drive innovation and economic growth. Individuals who perform high-skilled work in labor-restricted industries or graduate from respected colleges with relevant degrees should be prioritized for naturalization. We depend on immigration for GDP growth, tax revenue, research, and so much more. Despite the abhorrent rhetoric and curtailing of visas in the first term, I hope the incoming administration can be persuaded to enact positive changes to a clearly flawed system. Chris Van Gorder, Scripps Health YES: But it should be based upon need, not politics. There are several industries that have or could have skilled workforce shortages, especially if the next administration tightens immigration as promised and expected. Over the years, there have been nursing shortages that have been met partially by trained and skilled nurses from other countries. The physician shortage is expected to get worse in the years to come. So, this visa program may very well be needed. Jamie Moraga, Franklin Revere NO: While skilled immigration could boost our economy and competitiveness, the U.S. should prioritize developing our domestic workforce. Hiring foreign nationals in sensitive industries or government-related work, especially in advanced technology or defense, raises security concerns. A balanced approach could involve targeted increases in non-sensitive high-demand fields coupled with investment in domestic STEM education and training programs. This could address immediate needs while strengthening the long-term STEM capabilities of the American workforce. ©2024 The San Diego Union-Tribune. Visit sandiegouniontribune.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Saints quarterback Derek Carr was willing to risk his health to improve New Orleans’ chances of playing meaningful football in mid-December. Now the Saints, who’ve remained mathematically alive in the playoff race by winning three of four, might have to play without Carr again — and it didn’t go well the last time. Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi declined on Monday to rule out Carr for any of New Orleans' final four games because of his injured non-throwing hand or his concussion . Both injuries occurred when he tried to leap for a first down and crashed hard to the turf during the fourth quarter of New Orleans' 14-11 victory over the reeling New York Giants on Sunday. “We’re not going to rule him out just yet,” Rizzi said. “We have to see in the next day or two what the healing process is like and see if he can function. “The good news it’s not his throwing hand,” Rizzi said. “The bad news is we’re obviously dealing with an injury here that we have to kind of play it by ear.” Rizzi noted that Carr must clear the concussion protocol first. After that, he said, the Saints can see how well Carr can operate with his hand injury. “It's been done before,” Rizzi said when asked about the prospect of an NFL QB playing with an injured non-throwing hand. “It appears at moment that it's non-surgical, which is a big aspect of it. ... That's why we're going to discuss the options.” Last season, Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert played with a fractured finger on his non-throwing hand . Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen has played part of this season with an injured non-throwing hand . If Carr can't play, his replacement will be either second-year pro Jake Haener or rookie Spencer Rattler. Rattler started three games earlier this season when Carr had an oblique injury — all losses by New Orleans, which was in the midst of a seven-game skid. “We've just got to surround whomever it is and pick him up and get him rolling with the rest of us,” guard Lucas Patrick said. “It's just another step of adversity in this long season that we’ve had.” New Orleans' interior defensive line is coming off one of its better games. Defensive tackles Bryan Bresee and Khalen Saunders accounted for both New Orleans' sacks in New York. The Saints also held the Giants to 112 yards rushing — a lower opponent rushing total than in seven other games this season. The Saints' 92 yards rushing offensively was their fourth-lowest total all season and the lowest in any of their victories. Running back Kendre Miller's future is looking a bit brighter now. He has played in just three games this season because of hamstring injuries and his lack of readiness was criticized by since-fired coach Dennis Allen earlier this season. Miller also has yet to rush for more than 36 yards in a game. But against the Giants, he earned praise for the speed, strength and elusiveness he was able to show on a couple of clutch runs, including an 8-yard run for his first and only touchdown this season. Patrick said Miller deserved credit on his scoring run for staying upright and continuing to push forward — with the help of some teammates — after he was met at the 5-yard line by a Giants defender. Patrick said if Miller didn't give the extra effort and stay on his feet, his teammates would not have had the chance to help push him across the goal line. “Kendre's definitely a bright, young runner and he's exciting to block for,” Patrick said. Blake Grupe was 0 for 2 on field goal attempts, although both were from beyond 50 yards and one was blocked. Those were Grupe's first two failures from beyond 50 yards this season. In addition to Carr, reserve linebacker D’Marco Jackson left Sunday's game with an ankle injury. 0 — The number of games the Saints have won when Carr does not play. They've gone 5-5 in his starts this season. The Saints are back home Sunday against Washington in what could be ex-New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore's first game with the Commanders. The game also marks the return to Louisiana of quarterback Jayden Daniels, who won the Heisman Troply last year at LSU. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

In a sea of cryptocurrencies vying for prime positions in investors’ portfolios, understanding the subtleties of the crypto market is crucial. This guide highlights four cryptocurrencies worth considering right now: Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and BlockDAG (BDAG). Success in this market comes from thorough research and making informed choices, rather than rushing blindly into investments. 1. BlockDAG: Leading with Innovation and Lucrative Potential BlockDAG (BDAG) continues to attract crypto enthusiasts with its combination of advanced technology and strong profit potential. Why the interest? It’s a mix of innovation and anticipated returns. BlockDAG revolutionizes the typical crypto model by offering superior scalability and security. Its DAG framework overcomes the sequential constraints of traditional blockchains, enabling quicker transactions and more efficient networks. This technical excellence makes BlockDAG a top pick within the crypto community. The presale success of BlockDAG boosts its market visibility further. Valued at $0.0234 in Batch 26, the BDAG coin has soared by 2240% from its initial pricing. With $20 million fundraising in the last 48 hours, the project has amassed a total of $150 million in ongoing presale and over 16.4 billion coins sold, BlockDAG is poised for substantial future growth. Market analysts predict that BDAG could potentially offer a 30,000x returns, with expectations of reaching up to $30 by 2030. Moreover, BlockDAG has launched a $30 million grants program announced during a recent AMA, allocating $10 million annually to support decentralized projects across infrastructure, DeFi, and stablecoins, reinforcing its commitment to a robust, decentralized future. 2. Solana: Achieving New Highs with ETF Developments Solana recently hit a new all-time high of $260, a significant achievement linked to recent ETF filings with the U.S. SEC by firms like Bitwise and VanEck. These developments come on the heels of approved Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, sparking increased market optimism. The anticipation surrounding Solana’s potential ETF approval has heightened investor interest, propelling its price and market presence. This milestone underscores Solana’s growing role in the blockchain ecosystem, enhancing its attractiveness to both institutional and retail investors. 3. Dogecoin: Expanding its Network with 1.33M Active Users Dogecoin’s network is buzzing, with over 1.33 million active addresses daily, reflecting a robust demand and wider adoption. This surge has propelled DOGE’s price by 163%, highlighting a strong link between user activity and market performance. Currently, Dogecoin trades above $0.36, facing resistance near $0.45. A breakout above this level could signal further increases, whereas a drop below could push prices down towards $0.32 or $0.28. The recent spike in active addresses indicates growing investor interest and potential for continued upward movement. 4. Cardano: Enjoying Robust Growth and Rising Investor Confidence Cardano has seen a notable uptick, increasing by 10.34% to $0.2955, with trading volumes reaching $1.2 billion in the last 24 hours. This surge has elevated Cardano to the fourth largest crypto by market cap, now at $9.2 billion. Over the past week, ADA has climbed 15.6%, a sign of strengthening investor trust. This bullish trend is supported by new decentralized applications and strategic partnerships focused on improving blockchain scalability and interoperability. While market fluctuations remain a consideration, sustained positive developments could further boost Cardano’s value. Which of the Top 4 Crypto Coins Holds the Most Potential? Each of these cryptocurrencies presents distinctive attributes that appeal to crypto investors. The market momentum of Solana, the active network of Dogecoin, and the strategic advances within Cardano’s ecosystem make them strong contenders. However, the newcomer, BlockDAG, distinguishes itself by excelling in all these areas with its innovative DAG structure and community-focused initiatives like the $30 million grants program. Additionally, its remarkable presale growth, with a 2240% surge in coin value and projections of up to 30,000x ROI, positions BlockDAG as a top crypto presale choice.
