Natural gas prices surged more than 25 percent in November, driven by forecasts of colder weather and increased heating demand in key consuming countries. Similar price trends were observed in key Asian and European markets as well. The recent rally is attributed to active restocking of rapidly declining natural gas inventories in Europe and Asia amid peak heating seasons. Additionally, there are expectations that average temperatures across major natural gas markets, including China, Japan, and Europe, will fall below long-term averages this year. This could lead to a synchronized increase in natural gas-fired heating demand, further pushing up prices. At the same time, high storage levels in the United States continue to put pressure on prices. As the world’s top natural gas producer and consumer, the United States' production currently exceeds its consumption by approximately 13 percent. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, U.S. natural gas inventories are at their highest level since 2016, with working natural gas in storage currently 6 percent above the five-year average. The commodity has maintained an overall negative outlook over the last couple of years, with prices fluctuating between $1.40 and $3.65 per MMBtu on the WTI futures platform. This was driven by a complex interplay of supply and demand dynamics that negatively impacted the fuel's outlook. In March 2024, prices dropped to a four-year low due to lower demand and surplus supplies but later saw a moderate recovery. In the domestic MCX futures, prices hit a low of Rs 128.50 in March before recovering to Rs 297 in November.

Weather conditions can significantly impact the demand for natural gas. Last year, warmer-than-normal temperatures in Europe and America during peak seasons led to a decline in consumption. However, current forecasts of colder weather in the US and Europe are expected to increase heating demand and potentially support higher prices. European natural gas demand continues to decline due to energy efficiency measures, increased adoption of renewable energy, and reduced reliance on Russian gas. Current data indicates Europe's annual natural gas demand is around 330 billion cubic meters (BCM). However, the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects global natural gas demand will increase at a stronger rate in 2024 than in the previous two years. The IEA estimates that demand has risen by more than 2.5 percent in 2024, with similar growth expected in the coming year. Fast-growing Asian markets and a potential rebound in European industrial gas demand are expected to drive this growth. The EIA predicts limited new gas supplies in 2024 due to slow production growth, while ongoing geopolitical tensions may contribute to price volatility.

After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizersSen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has issued a statement clarifying her previous remarks about the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to Politico. In her initial statement earlier in the week, Warren, a progressive lawmaker known for stridently left-populist economic positions, appeared to suggest the shooting was an outgrowth of working-class anger over the cost of health care. “The visceral response from people across the country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning to everyone in the healthcare system,” she said. “Violence is never the answer. But people can only be pushed so far.” Speaking to Politico on Wednesday, Warren partially walked back her remarks, reiterating: “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” ALSO READ: Agenda 47: Alarm sounded about Trump’s dystopian plans for his second term In many ways, the identity of the suspect in the shooting, Luigi Mangione, has thrown a wrench into the narrative developing about the murder, because, while there is evidence Mangione suffered from a painful back condition and he wrote a manifesto decrying the evils of capitalism, he is far from living a paycheck-to-paycheck existence; in fact, his family is wealthier than the CEO he is accused of killing . Nonetheless, the killing kicked off an outpouring of frustrations as people shared their own experiences with the health care system and tight-fisted insurance companies specifically. Emotions have run so high that people directed their rage at the Pennsylvania McDonald's where police were tipped off about Mangione, flooding the restaurant with fake negative reviews. Experts have sounded alarms at the apparent cheering on of violence, with some drawing comparisons to the political unrest over inequality and labor exploitation during the Gilded Age period of the late 19th century.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. Extra-wide jeans from Good American that'll be a real 180 from that old, tried-and-true pair of skinny jeans — but I promise they'll treat you just as well, especially if you pair 'em up with a shape-hugging blouse or bodysuit to offset the wide legs. Promising reviews : "These jeans are everything I was looking for: an extremely wide leg that throw me back to the late '90s. Get a lot of compliments when I'm wearing them. Would recommend to size down, they run big." — Gerdur A. "Omg, I have never worn a more comfortable pair of jeans in my life!! The quality is incredible. The pant legs are so big and baggy — the '90s child in me is so happy! I recommend these pants one million percent!!!!" — Danielle V. Get them from Good American for $179 (available in sizes 00–32 Plus and two washes). 2. Some colorful patchwork jeans that honestly have more personality than I do. With the all-over patchwork design and intentional fraying, they'll be the star of any 'fit — throw on a basic tank or tee and you're good to go. Promising review: "10 STARS!!! These jeans are SUPER cute and they fit perfectly!!! The waistband conforms to your shape so no belt needed. The spandex is good. Will be ordering the black and green ones as well." — T Johnson Get them from Amazon for $17.36+ (available in sizes 0–16 and in 10 patchwork colors). 3. Bootcut jeans for a classic, tailored silhouette that flares slightly at the bottom — no cutting off your ankle circulation here. These do run a little long, FYI! And reviewers say they're mid- to low-rise. Promising review: "I tried these on without looking in a mirror and they went on like they were custom-made for me . I thought they couldn’t possibly look that good because they felt so comfortable. When I looked in the mirror I was shocked! They were the absolute perfect pair of jeans! My husband commented that they were life changing! Haha! I’m so thrilled that I found the perfect jeans without trying on 40 pairs at the store and walking away with nothing because they don’t look good." — Sparkle Plenty Get them on Amazon for $39.97 (available in sizes 0—20 and in 11 washes). 4. Or a high-rise bootcut option — if you're feeling ~adventurous~, I'm obsessed with the "Ruby Red" shade (red dyed over black denim) that would look so effortlessly cool with your favorite band tees. Peep the autumnal shades in buttery soft corduroy, or this edgy style with buckle straps — and the fit itself? Absolute perfection thanks to fabric's "sculpting stretch" that'll have you feeling oh-so-confident. Warp + Weft is a family-owned business that makes their own premium denim from scratch. Get them from Warp + Weft for $98 (available in sizes 00–14 and eight styles). 5. Wide-leg jeans with four front buttons — if you looove to do a lil' French tuck (Tan France would be proud) or fully tuck in your tops, these are the perfect pair to do it with. Promising review: "These are great quality, a closet staple. I highly recommend buying several colors! The button fly is easy; they are comfortable, stretchy, and fit true to size. Appearance is spot on and they wash and dry well! I dry in low and hang up immediately!" — Heather Partain Get them from Amazon for $39.50 (available in sizes 4–18, including long and short sizes, and in 13 colors) 6. Levi's Ribcage high-rise jeans you can reach for all year long, whether you dress them up with heels or keep things casual with your favorite sneaks. TikTok is *obsessed* with these for how good they look on every body type. I have these in a couple of styles and absolutely love them! They're legit Levi's and fit my pear-shaped body pretty well. I found them true to size! See how these look on one plus-size reviewer on TikTok ! Promising review: "My favorite jeans of all time. High-waisted Levi’s are so comfy, so high quality, so adorable... my daughter stole mine, and I had to buy another pair. She is 27, I am 49. These jeans rock a multitude of generations and body types. The dark wash is my favorite, and they are thick denim, cool button fly, and not much stretch. Levi’s will never go out of style." — patrice hedrick Get it from Amazon for $37.31+ (available in 17 styles and standard sizes 24–32 as well as 20 Plus, 22 Plus, and 35–39 Plus). 7. Or Levi's Wedgie straight jeans designed to wrap snugly around the hips and thighs for a ~cheeky~ fit that'll really enhance your 🍑 . They're also high-rise (though not ultra highrise like the ones above) and straight leg for a balanced look. Consider sizing up if you'd like a less snug fit! (FWIW, I ordered these once just to try and ended up just returning them because my normal size was way too snug for my liking — but my colleague below is a huge fan of this style.) BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says, " If you told me I could only wear one pair of jeans for the rest of my life, I would hands-down choose my Levi’s Wedgie fit jeans — no other pair comes close. These jeans tick all my boxes: They cup my butt nicely so it doesn’t look like a flat pancake, they hit at the perfect spot on my ankle whereas most jeans are too long on my weirdly short legs, and they don’t lose their shape over time — no matter how many weeks I go without washing them (don’t judge me, OK?) I own several pairs and am guilty of buying them when they’re on sale, regardless of whether I actually need a new pair. Who am I kidding, I always need a new pair!" Get them from Amazon for $55.65+ (available in sizes 24–32 and 13 colors). 8. Free People's high-rise flared jeans that come in classic denim shades as well as fun colors like "apricot brandy" (yum). They're designed to stretch comfortably while hugging your curves — gorgeous silhouette, here we come. Promising review : " I put these on and my jaw literally dropped. These are everything. Super stretchy and comfortable. Perfectly high-waisted and [cute] as heck. I have a short torso and long legs and flares are always too short; not these! They’re perfect with a heel. My usual FP jean size 25 was IT." — filiadeluna Get them from Free People for $98 (available in sizes 23–33 and 10 colors; some colors have very limited sizing). These come in a corduroy style too! 9. Or their flared jeans in the vintage-inspired "Firecracker" style — this statement-maker will have compliments slinging your way left and right. Promising review: "Sized up by review! Perfect fit!! Slender and SO sexy!! They are long even on me, and things are usually just about too short on me, so take that into account. Definitely have stretch to them." — sophyyy Get them from Free People for $168 (available in sizes 24–33, including short sizes, and in seven colors). 10. High-waisted ripped, baggy jeans that'll have you looking effortlessly cool and feeling ridiculously comfy thanks to the roomy fit. Promising review: " If you're on the hunt for that essential pair of durable black ripped jeans, you literally came to the right page . I've had these jeans [for almost 10 months], and let me say they've survived everything and are still alive. I ordered a size up to XL because I wanted a larger kind of baggy look, but if you order your regular size, they'll fit perfectly. Purchase them now — they'll add, in every perfect way, to your essential wardrobe." — Andres R Lopez Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 16 colors, with different levels of distressing). 11. Cropped mid-rise jeans because sometimes you need to show off those statement boots or heels, and these'll let you do just that. They're made with J.Crew's stretchiest denim for all-day comfort, with a cool raw hem at the bottom. Promising review : "After reading through the many positive reviews, I decided to give them a try and love them! Some stretch but not too much and they keep their shape. I am short-waisted, and these hit right at my belly button. I’m so glad to see more mid-rise pants being offered; would also like to see more lower rise for us short-waisted girls! I liked the jeans so much that I ordered them in black, as well." — Taglioni Get them from J.Crew for $53+ (originally $128; available in sizes 23–37, including petite and tall sizes, and in three washes). 12. Loose cropped denim bloomers proving jeans don't have to squeeze the life out of our bodies to be considered "jeans." Made of 100% denim cotton, these have an elastic waist (with belt loops) and slightly tapered cuffs at the bottom to give them that bloomer shape! Promising review: "I was apprehensive about getting these pants because I thought they might not [look good] on me, but YOOOOO, I wear these boys like TWICE A WEEK. I'M IN LOVE . They're cute asf with a crop top or oversized sweater tucked in!!! And they're so COMFORTABLE. The waist is completely elastic like pajama pants, but still has a button and zipper to look like jeans. I usually wear them with a belt to cinch in my waist a little more, but they're cute without one, too! The pockets are DEEP, too. I can actually fit my phone in em, it's wild. I get compliments literally every single time I wear them!" — Kristin&Grace Get them from Amazon for $58.99 (available in sizes M–3XL and in two colors). 13. Baggy boyfriend jeans in case you're more than ready to leave your skinny jean era in the past and embrace the trendier wide-leg style. These have a slouchy fit that'll look so cute with cropped sweaters, tucked-in tanks, and more. These jeans aren't stretchy, so be sure to consult the size chart for the specific style you want! Promising review: "I had been looking all over the place for wide-legged jeans that fit! They are usually either too tight and uncomfortable in the hip area, too tight in the calf area, or way too long! OMG, when I received these, they were absolutely fantastic! They were everything I wanted in a pair of jeans! The fit was perfect and so comfortable, and the length was spot on... I love the wider leg because I love to wear boots with a heel, and these are amazing! They also look fantastic with just a pair of casual flip-flops! I would recommend these to everyone!" — Lori Get them from Amazon for $43.49 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 17 washes). 14. A pair of high-waisted bell-bottoms because this '70s-inspired shape will make you feel so 🔥. Reviewers describe them as feeling "hand-tailored" and "made to mold" to their shape, and your butt will be living its best life. Promising review: "Oh. My. Gosh. These jeans are incredibly, incredibly amazing. I have a very hourglass shape, and I've looked, and looked, and looked for high-waisted bell bottoms or flares that would fit me for about two months and had no success...until I found these. Not only did these jeans button with absolutely zero fuss, but they slid up my legs and over my thighs like they were hand-tailored to me. I have every intention of buying several pairs the next time I get paid!" — Kami Get them from Amazon for $58.54+ (available in sizes 1–15, XL–3XL, and in eight colors). 15. And embroidered bell bottoms with cute vintage-y accents to keep things fun and fresh. With their real embroidery (not just a print), these'll look like a charming thrift store find instead of an Amazon dot com gem — shh, who needs to know? Promising review: "I absolutely love jeans made with stretchy denim — easy to wear for all shapes and sizes. AND these jeans are unbelievably cute — such a refreshing change after the old skinny jean thing. Plus these have a retro 'groovy' nod to the '70s! On top of all that, my hubby says they make me look fab. Long live bell bottoms!! I can't wait to stock up on more cool stuff from this seller. Don't wait — click on buy and get these jeans pronto!" — Cat P. Get them from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 10 styles). 16.

Rolled-cuff Lee boyfriend jeans boasting over 10,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, with reviewers praising their fit and comfort. Slightly cropped at the bottom with frayed cuffs, these'll let you show off your favorite ankle booties, sandals, and more. Promising review : "I have a hard time finding jeans that are truly comfortable on me. These are Lee jeans; that should be enough said. However, the fit on me is perfect. They move with me. Not stiff at all, very comfortable, and not confining. I carry all my weight in my hips and thighs, and to find jeans that allow me to move comfortably is a win-win!! I am a size 16, and I bought my normal size. This is my second pair, and I am sure I will buy more." — Allison94 Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes 6–18 and five washes). 18. Wide-leg cow-print jeans to add some fun to your wardrobe and awaken the cowgirl within you. Can I get a "yee-haw"? Promising review: "These pants are literally everything I hoped they'd be and more. The quality is top notch! Was afraid the pattern would be like, ironed on, but that's not the case! It's actually dyed and looks great in person. Perfect length to add boots, and love the high waist ." — Maggie Get them from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and in 13 styles). 19. Madewell's curvy '90s straight jeans , which have been ~reengineered~ for hourglass shapes. That just means they have a narrower waist, a longer rise to accomodate le booty , and extra room at the hips and thighs (god bless you, Madewell). Promising review : "My favorite jeans ever. Love the fit and denim; there’s actually plenty of room at the ankles, so they look really straight! Thick and sturdy denim with the perfect amount of stretch. Super impressed! The only thing is that the fabric is pretty variegated — I have a thin, slightly bleached stripe down a leg, but I think it’s part of the charm of the jeans, so I don’t mind! Usually size 22, purchased and kept 20W in these." — Madeline92 Get them from Madewell for $128 (available in three colors and standard sizes 23–34, plus sizes 14W–28W, and tall and petite sizes 23–33). Check out more styles in their "curvy" design here ! 20. Or Abercrombie's Curve Love high-rise relaxed jeans that come in so many sizes and colors, someone really should give them a gold star or something. Alexa, play "Feeling Myself" by Nicki Minaj, because that's how you'll be feeling in this comfy pair that's designed with curves in mind. Abercrombie's Curve Love fit means these have an additional 2 inches through the hip and thigh area, which helps prevent waist gapping. Promising review : "Abercrombie & Fitch jeans are the only jeans I’ve found that fit perfectly, are comfortable, and make me feel confident. This is my third pair of jeans I’ve bought and I was thrilled when they arrived. I love the style and the length was perfect (I am 5’9 so I get the long jeans)." — Anna Get them from Abercrombie & Fitch for $90 (available in regular sizes 23–37 and select extra short, short, long, and extra long sizes, plus 30 colors and washes). 21. Some distressed flares for a truly dramatic vibe that I'm here for. These bell-bottoms have intentional fraying at the bottom, and you can also get them in different colors without the butterfly decals if you like — either way, these are cute as heck! Promising review: "Being a plus-size 16, it can be very difficult to find jeans that are comfortable and stretchy. I was hesitant to buy, because I didn’t see anyone with a similar shape to mine. These jeans are perfect! Comfy, trendy, and they stretch well. Will be purchasing more colors." — Daquan Edmonds Get them from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 10 styles and colors). 22.

Pants designed for wheelchair users at a very good price . I purchased four pairs because I love them so much. Soft denim, easy to pull-up jean. Long, hidden zippers on the bottom of each leg. Great length, which covers the ankles while seated in wheelchair. There are no back pockets or belt loops that might cause unnecessary rubbing. Great price. Please keep making these pants!!!" — KG "These are amazing for those with abdominal-related disabilities as well. Works great in my chair, but also with my ostomy bag. Way more comfortable against my bag than traditional jeans , of which I haven’t worn in at least a year! My only complaint: Please, please make these in more colors." — ProudAdvocate Get the black pair from Target for $32 (available in sizes 00–18; dark denim wash available in sizes 00–10). 23. Torrid's Bombshell high-rise straight jeans with a subtle sprinkling of rhinestones for a special touch that's not *too* over the top — seriously, if you're skeptical, reviewers absolutely RAVE about how cute these are in person and say the pics online don't do them justice. And the soft, stretchy fit is just as satisfying as the sparkle. It's a bit hard to see the rhinestones above, but if you check out the reviewer photos you can get a better sense of how they look IRL. Promising review : "These are so cute! Perfect for the holiday season and beyond. Anytime you feel like sparking! They are so soft and cozy! I’ll be wearing them until I wear them out! Picture does not do it justice." — Tinad1961 Get them from Torrid for $59.94 (originally $99.90; available in sizes 10–30 and short, regular, and tall inseams). 24. Dickies carpenter jeans that are thick and durable enough to be work pants, but cute and comfy enough for everyday wear too. Get you some pants that can do both! Promising review: "Finally found some work pants I like! They are super functional with lots of pockets and reinforced knees. I have worn these all day in the hot sun and they are pretty thick but still breathable. Crouching on bricks/cement, bending in awkward positions with these is no problem. I think these will last a long time." — good stuff Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 2–16 and in three colors). 25. Super cute barrel-cut pants with unique accent stitching near the bottom and a nipped waist design to help avoid that dreadful gapping you're probably familiar with if you have wider hips and a smaller waist. Promising review : "I LOVE these pants! I have them in several colors. I personally find they run a bit large. I am usually between a 12 and 14 and was able to comfortably fit the 12. I am 5'6" and they hit right above my ankle, so a little longer than what's shown on the model. The accent stitching is really what makes these pants so special! Easily elevated a basic outfit. " — CDStuart Get them from Everlane for $118 (available in sizes 000–16 and nine total colors, including four denim shades). 26. Pull-on flare jeans that are the perfect compromise when you need to look ~put together~ but also reeeally don't wanna change out of sweatpants. The stretchy waistband won't cut off your circulation at the waist, and the dark wash will go perfectly with your blazer or cardigan for work (but look just as good with your casual tops). Promising review : "High rise, great stretch. I’m pear-shaped and the waistband doesn’t roll when you sit down. Jeans are so challenging. I’m really happy with these!" — Cacique Love Get them from Lane Bryant for $47.97 (originally $79.95; available in regular sizes 12–40 and select petite, short, and long sizes). 27. Distressed jean joggers , aka the best of both worlds when you need to put on "real pants" but also don't wanna take off your sweats.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, on Tuesday called for improved bilateral cooperation and stronger ties between Nigeria and China, saying the two countries should work toward exceeding the current bilateral trade volume of $13 billion. The Speaker gave the charge in Abuja during an interactive session with the Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China, Mr Zhang Qingwei, flanked by the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Yu Dunhai, and other officials of the Chinese Parliament and Embassy in Nigeria. Speaker Abbas also noted that while the House has over 70 parliamentary friendship groups, the Nigeria-China Parliamentary Friendship Group has remained the most active and beneficial among them. He said, “The bond between Nigeria and China is one of mutual respect, collaboration, and shared aspirations. Over the years, this partnership has yielded remarkable outcomes in trade, infrastructure development, technology transfer, and cultural exchanges. “According to recent reports, the trade volume between our countries has surpassed $13 billion annually, making China Nigeria’s largest trading partner. This relationship has facilitated the growth of Nigeria’s economy through investments in critical sectors such as rail, agriculture, and manufacturing. “We also commend China’s commitment to the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). The outcomes of the recently concluded summit, held from 4th to 6th September, reaffirmed China’s unwavering dedication to fostering partnerships with African nations, including Nigeria. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s participation underscored Nigeria’s commitment to leveraging FOCAC’s framework to advance our national development goals.” “As the People’s House and the largest legislative and representative body in Nigeria, we are delighted to host you. Your visit reflects the growing friendship between Nigeria and China, which we deeply value,” the Speaker told Qingwei and the other Chinese guests. The Speaker said the visit provides an invaluable opportunity to explore ways of deepening the ties between the Nigerian National Assembly and the Parliament of China. He noted that the House has already taken proactive steps by establishing the Nigeria-China Friendship Group, which is actively fostering closer ties and promoting bilateral cooperation. “We are particularly keen on learning from the rich experience of the Chinese Parliament, especially in areas such as legislative processes, institutional strengthening, and socio-economic development,” he said. Speaker Abbas told the Chinese officials that the Nigerian Government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, remains committed to advancing Nigeria’s partnership with China. He said this commitment aligns with the shared vision of sustainable development and inclusive growth for the people. He noted that “the National Assembly is ready to provide the legislative framework necessary to facilitate and support initiatives that strengthen Nigeria-China relations.” The Speaker said, “As we reflect on the achievements of our partnership, let us also envision greater possibilities. I am optimistic that our two parliaments working together can unlock the full potential of our cooperation, benefiting not only our nations but also contributing to global stability and prosperity. “I propose the following concrete steps to deepen collaboration between the House of Representatives of Nigeria and the National People’s Congress (NPC) of China. First, establishing a structured programme for knowledge-sharing and capacity-building sessions is essential. These sessions should focus on legislative strategies that have contributed to China’s industrialisation and economic development, delivered through seminars, workshops, and technical exchanges. “Additionally, a formal parliamentary exchange programme should be initiated to facilitate regular visits by delegations from both legislatures. These visits would provide opportunities to study and adopt best practices in policy formulation, particularly in the areas of infrastructure development, renewable energy, and digital economy legislation.” Speaker Abbas added that the Nigeria-China Friendship Group can be pivotal in negotiating legislative incentives that attract Chinese investments into critical sectors such as manufacturing, technology, and agriculture. He said this can be complemented by efforts to develop a bilateral legislative framework that enhances trade relations, reduces barriers to Nigerian exports, and creates sustainable mechanisms to improve trade balances. He stressed that collaboration should extend to joint legislative action on key development goals, such as poverty reduction, education, and youth empowerment, drawing from China’s remarkable success in poverty alleviation. These actions could include drafting co-signed resolutions or agreements to guide future legislative initiatives. Earlier in his speech, Qingwei called for better cooperation between China and Nigeria, especially between the countries’ legislatures. He also sought more bilateral deals to inject fresh ideas from both sides. The Chinese parliamentarian expressed the interest of his country in having more exchange programmes with Nigeria. “We are willing to step up exchanges,” he said.

Photo: Newsline The changes come after a special council meeting on Monday to consider the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (Plan Change 14), which enables more development to happen at different heights in and around the central city and suburban commercial centres, with the highest development allowed in and around the central city. The council decided on 58 recommendations made by the Independent Hearings Panel (IHP) for the plan change, meaning almost 40 commercial centres will see zoning changes under the District Plan, including Riccarton, Belfast and Linwood. Mayor Phil Mauger said the decisions will help pave the way for future growth and prosperity. “Yesterday’s decisions are a major milestone for Christchurch and will provide for the growth of the city’s housing and commercial centres in the best locations, to help tackle issues such as climate change and housing choice. Christchurch developers buy up land Council asks for pause on housing intensification plan Plea for councillors to defy housing intensification rules “That means more houses close to our growing commercial centres – where there’s good access to services, public transport and infrastructure. Living within easy reach of work, school and shops makes getting around easier and helps to reduce transport emissions. “We’ve also made sure development is restricted in areas where there’s good reason to do so and limited where we need to protect and maintain areas of value such as heritage. “I’m grateful to everyone in our community who’s played a part in helping the Council reach its decisions to date on Plan Change 14. This process has been a huge undertaking for our city, and a tremendous amount of hard work has gone into making sure we get the best results out of it,” said Mauger. Councillors were yesterday only required to make decisions related to policies 3 and 4 of the Government’s National Policy Statement on Urban Development (NPS-UD), which require greater building development within and around the central city, suburban commercial centres and planned high-frequency and high-capacity public transport routes. Decisions beyond those two policies do not need to be made until the end of next year, meaning the council has more time to consider what wider housing intensification will look like for the city under the national Medium-Density Residential Standards (MDRS), which allow up to three dwellings of up to three storeys on a property - without resource consent - if all other rules have been met. The Government has previously signalled it intends to make the MDRS optional for councils next year. The council also referred 20 decisions to the Minister for RMA Reform, who now has to decide between the alternative recommendations put forward by the council and the IHP’s original recommendations. The minister’s decisions, which are expected early next year, will include consideration of the council’s alternative recommendation to apply a special city-wide restriction, called a qualifying matter, to allow greater sunlight access for new residential developments under the MDRS. Other alternative recommendations are aimed at amending the degree of intensification around Riccarton, Hornby, Peer St and Linwood, while also seeking to apply the Riccarton Bush Interface Area. A number of heritage and character listings were also rejected through the council’s alternative recommendations to the minister, including Antonio Hall, Daresbury House, and the Piko Heritage and Character Area. The Plan Change 14 decisions that accepted an IHP recommendation will effectively replace existing District Plan standards once they are formally notified, which is expected by December 12, with all the alternative recommendations having legal effect from this date. This means consents against the new provisions can be granted from this date. The council will publish an interactive map on its Plan Change 14 webpage , which will reflect the decisions made today, so people can see how the changes apply. Photo: Newsline Key decisions on Plan Change 14 Key commercial centre zones decided on: 32m (about 10 storeys) for Riccarton and Papanui 22m or 20m (about 6 storeys) for *Hornby, *Linwood, Shirley, Belfast, North Halswell, Merivale, Sydenham, Church Corner, and Merivale (those with an asterisk are subject to a Councillor alternative recommendation) 14m (about 3 to 4 storeys) enabled for all other urban commercial centres, except Lyttelton, which is 12m.

The Council decided on the following key qualifying matters and other matters:
49ers attempt to bounce back and boost their postseason chances as they visit Green BayShoppers at a U.S. Walmart were left stunned after a young child went on a rampage and started throwing various merchandise to the floor. They were even more shocked when none of the store's employees attempted to stop the child. In a clip uploaded to the social media platform X, a young black girl dressed in pink can be seen casually strolling through the dairy and poultry aisle while casually throwing various items to the ground. No parent or guardia n ever shows up to deal with the misbehaving child throughout the entire 2-minute clip. Despite the large crowd, Walmart employees seem reluctant to step in and restrain the child. During one portion of the video, two white women try to intervene by gently grabbing the child in order to prevent more destroyed merchandise only to be scolded by another woman for touching the child. Woman 'assaults police officer' at Walmart after 'stealing cookies and panties' Shameless Walmart shopper records her shoplifting attempt at self-checkout only to be caught by AI The woman advises them to let her go and “not put hands on another person’s child.” This comment sets off a heated debate as to what to do with the unruly child. The growing group of spectators seems divided on what to do with the girl despite asking repeatedly where the girl’s parents are. While the two groups bicker, the girl continues to destroy food displays. At one point, one fed-up employee suggests calling for help. “Don’t yet at her. Don’t film her. Don’t stop her. You don’t know what she’s going through. Don’t y’all do that to a little girl!” one woman off-camera screeches before approaching the child and telling her to breathe. The video comes to as close as the child starts hurling bottles of a red fizzy drink to the ground. In the last two seconds of the video, the girl is seen being held over a man's shoulder however it's unclear if that is the girl's father. As of Monday, the video had received 3.1 million views. Several users online were livid over the interaction. "This video encapsulates the West," seethed one user. "Hostile barbarian tears down civilization and woke white women stop other people from doing anything about it." "A white liberal woman stopping a black man from stepping up and being a father, classic," a second person said. "This video speaks volumes." "If you feel angst watching this, then imagine being a teacher and having 10 of these kids in your room, littered amongst others who actually want to learn," a third person slammed. "You've got shit behavior and a laundry list of things you're accountable for. Admin asks 'How can you inspire her to learn?'" One person even speculated that the whole stunt may have been an attempt to go viral. "Where’s her mother? She has expensive braids & nice outfit. About 10 yrs old. Was she set up to do this for it to go viral which is all some people care about? It’s all so ridiculous," one person speculated. It's currently unclear where the shocking incident took place.

Man City stunned again as Feyenoord fight back to draw 3-3 in the Champions LeagueU.S. Sen. John Fetterman said Thursday while appearing on TV talk show “The View” that recent criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump and Hunter Biden were politically motivated, and that since Biden received a pardon from his father, President Joe Biden, then Trump also deserves one. Fetterman, a Democrat from Braddock who appeared virtually from his Washington, D.C. office, was asked by co-host Joy Behar during the broadcast what he thought of Hunter Biden’s pardon. “I think it’s undeniable that the case against Hunter Biden was really politically motivated,” Fetterman said. “But I also think it’s true that the trial in New York for Trump, that was political as well. In both cases, I think a pardon is appropriate.” Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in New York state earlier this year in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actress who said the two had sex. Hunter Biden was convicted in June of lying on a federal form when he purchased a gun in 2018 and swore that he wasn’t a drug user, though he has acknowledged being addicted at that time. He also pleaded guilty a month earlier to charges accusing him of a scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in taxes. President Biden cannot issue a pardon in Trump’s hush money case since it was prosecuted in New York state courts. New York’s governor would have to issue the pardon. Fetterman is not one to shy away from controversial statements or the limelight. He is a regular guest on late-night talk shows and regularly uses his social media accounts to troll his adversaries , often cursing . When he was introduced on The View, co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Fetterman has “built his political career on calling it like he sees it.” Fetterman also spoke about the political realities facing Democrats with Trump six weeks away from taking office. He noted that Trump and Republicans won the White House, the Senate and the House and said he expects Trump and his party to do things with which he doesn’t agree. Fetterman said his plan is to avoid freaking out and instead be selective on picking fights. “America signed up for this. It is undeniable,” Fetterman said. “He won the popular vote and he ran the table, including in my state. This is what America decided. This is definitely going to go in a direction that a lot of Democrats are not going to agree with.”Biden says Assad’s fall in Syria is a ‘fundamental act of justice,’ but ‘a moment of risk’
