Step into the future on Dec 4Keir Starmer holds secret talks with union boss amid growing backlash to Labour's controversial inheritance tax raid on farmers By JASON GROVES POLITICAL EDITOR Published: 17:30 EST, 26 November 2024 | Updated: 17:54 EST, 26 November 2024 e-mail View comments Keir Starmer has held secret talks with farming leaders about the impact of the government’s ‘family farms tax’ - triggering speculation he is clearing the way for a climb down. Downing Street yesterday confirmed that the Prime Minister held private talks with NFU president Tom Bradshaw on Monday. No 10 said the government remained determined to press ahead with the controversial Budget move to slash inheritance tax relief for farms, which has triggered fury in rural communities. But Mr Bradshaw said he had emerged hopeful of action to soften the impact, saying the PM had been ‘very much in listening mode’. He said he had explained to Sir Keir the ‘very real human impact, the viability of family farms and the low returns from producing the country’s food’. He added: ‘The PM engaged with us and I really hope this marks a moment where we can move forward and reach an outcome that works for everyone.’ No 10 had previously indicated that Sir Keir had no plans to meet with farming leaders, saying that Environment Secretary Steve Reed was handling the issue. But Downing Street last night confirmed that he had held an undisclosed meeting with Mr Bradshaw following last week’s protest by thousands of farmers in London .

No 10 insisted that the government will not back down on the inheritance tax change, which the Treasury hopes will generate £500 million. ‘We are not considering mitigation for the policy,’ the spokesman said. ‘We are fully committed to implementing it as set out.’ However, ministers are under mounting pressure to soften the policy, or scrap it altogether. The government claims that the ‘vast majority’ of farms will not be affected by the introduction of inheritance tax on agricultural land worth more than £1 million. From 2026, farming families will pay inheritance tax at 20 per cent above this threshold. But critics have warned that the government’s estimates include many small hobby farms. A new analysis by the National Farmers’ Union found that three-quarters of commercial family farms are likely to be hit with huge tax bills which could force them to sell off land. It added: ‘Put simply, the majority of farms don’t earn enough money to pay the potential Inheritance Tax Bill without selling off some of their land or business, which in turn makes the farm business unviable.’ NFU president Tom Bradshaw (pictured) said he had emerged hopeful of action to soften the impact, saying the PM had been ‘very much in listening mode’ The government claims that the ‘vast majority’ of farms will not be affected by the introduction of inheritance tax on agricultural land worth more than £1 million (pictured: The farmers rally on November 19 outside Westminster) The Institute for Fiscal Studies highlighted this week that the sudden change meant some farmers would be unable to use normal tax planning to avoid the charge, as assets can only be passed on free of inheritance tax if the gift occurs at least seven years before death. The think tank suggested ministers should consider allowing farmers a one-off exemption to pass on assets. The Treasury has denied persistent reports that it is working on options to defuse the row.

Knicks Focus On One Thing To Improve Defensive Numbers
49ers claim RB Israel Abanikanda off waivers from Jets
Bill Brennan and Adam Kinzinger join The LeadHarris has ‘no knowledge’ anyone tried to get RTE to take down viral clipThe streets of The were filled with passion and determination on Monday as an estimated 20,000 students, educators, and university staff marched in protest against the Dutch government’s proposed €1 billion cuts to higher education funding. The demonstration, backed by MPs and key public figures, sent a clear message: the country’s educational future is non-negotiable. Why are the Cuts so Controversial? The proposed budget reductions are set to halt funding for grants to young researchers and force institutions to slash resources across the board. Critics argue this will result in: : The equivalent of closing two major colleges or a large university. Most Read on Euro Weekly News : A threat to the global standing in research and innovation. : Universities like Leiden and Utrecht have already announced cuts to several programmes. Thijs Roovers, chairman of the AOb teachers’ union, warned: “These cuts will rob our society of knowledge and opportunity. This is not what we want, nor what our country needs.” Leaders and Students Unite The protest began at Malieveld, a symbolic gathering point near The Hague’s central station, and moved to the education ministry before returning. High-profile political leaders, including D66’s Rob Jetten and GroenLinks-PvdA’s Frans Timmermans, stood in solidarity with the demonstrators. Abdelkader Karbache, president of the LSVb student union, addressed the crowd: “This is more than a fight against budget cuts. It’s a fight for our future—and it doesn’t end with this one protest.” A Threat to the Netherlands’ Global Standing The cuts come at a time when Dutch universities are slipping in global rankings. Eight out of 13 institutions have fallen on the Times Higher Education rankings, with Delft University of Technology dropping from 48th to 56th place. No Dutch university now remains in the top 50. Meanwhile, Amsterdam and Leiden saw modest gains, but the overall trend has sparked concern among educators and students alike. Political Pushback Grows There may still be hope for a reversal. The upper house of parliament, which previously blocked plans to raise VAT on culture and books, now appears to hold a majority against the education cuts. Wageningen Mayor Floor Vermeulen, speaking as chairman of the Dutch Knowledge City Network, called the proposed cuts “extremely irresponsible and damaging for the Netherlands’ future.” What’s Next? As MPs prepare to debate the proposal later this week, momentum from Monday’s demonstration could shape the outcome. Protesters vow to continue their fight, emphasising that investing in education is essential to maintaining the Netherlands’ reputation as a knowledge-based economy. The message from The Hague is loud and clear: education is the foundation of the future, and its value cannot be measured in euros alone.New Jersey interim Sen. George Helmy stepping down for Andy Kim to be sworn in early
DENVER — So you're the most valuable player of that annual Thanksgiving Day backyard flag football game. Or played tackle football on any level. Or ran track. Or dabbled in basketball. Or toyed with any sport, really. Well, this may be just for you: USA Football is holding talent identification camps all over the country to find that next flag football star. It's "America's Got Talent" meets "American Idol," with the stage being the field and the grand prize a chance to compete for a spot on a national team. Because it's never too early to start planning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where flag football will make its Summer Games debut. Know this, though — it's not an easy team to make. The men's and women's national team rosters are at "Dream Team" status given the men's side has captured six of the last seven world championships and the women three in a row. To remain on top, the sport's national governing body is scouring every football field, park, track, basketball court and gym to find hidden talent to cultivate. USA Football has organized camps and tryouts from coast to coast for anyone ages 11 to 23. There are more than a dozen sites set up so far, ranging from Dallas (Sunday) to Chicago (Dec. 14) to Tampa (March 29) to Los Angeles (TBD) and the Boston area (April 27), where it will be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. The organization has already partnered with the NFL on flag football initiatives and programs. The numbers have been through the roof, with engagement on social media platforms increasing by 86% since flag football was announced as an Olympic invitational sport in October 2023. The participation of boys and girls ages 6 to 17 in flag football last year peaked at more than 1.6 million, according to USA Football research. "We pride ourselves on elevating the gold standard across the sport," said Eric Mayes, the managing director of the high performance and national teams for USA Football. "We want to be the best in the world — and stay the best in the world." Flag football was one of five new sports added to the LA28 program. The already soaring profile of American football only figures to be enhanced by an Olympic appearance. Imagine, say, a few familiar faces take the field, too. Perhaps even NFL stars such as Tyreek Hill or Patrick Mahomes, maybe even past pro football greats donning a flag belt for a country to which they may have ties. Soon after flag football's inclusion, there was chatter of NFL players possibly joining in on the fun. Of course, there are logistical issues to tackle before their inclusion at the LA Olympics, which open July 14, 2028. Among them, training camp, because the Olympics will be right in the middle of it. The big question is this: Will owners permit high-priced players to duck out for a gold-medal pursuit? No decisions have yet been made on the status of NFL players for the Olympics. For now, it's simply about growing the game. There are currently 13 states that sanction girls flag football as a high school varsity sport. Just recently, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles helped pave the way to get it adopted in Pennsylvania. Around the world, it's catching on, too. The women's team from Japan took third at the recent word championships, while one of the best players on the planet is Mexico quarterback Diana Flores. "Could flag football globally become the new soccer? That's something to aspire to," said Stephanie Kwok, the NFL's vice president of flag football. This type of flag football though, isn't your Thanksgiving Day game with family and friends. There's a learning curve. And given the small roster sizes, versatility is essential. Most national team members need to be a version of Colorado's two-way standout and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter. Forget bump-and-run coverage, too, because there's no contact. None. That took some adjusting for Mike Daniels, a defensive back out of West Virginia who earned a rookie minicamp invitation with the Cleveland Browns in 2017. "If a receiver is running around, I'm thinking, 'OK, I can kind of bump him here and there and nudge him,'" Daniels explained. "They're like, 'No, you can't.' I'm just like, 'So I'm supposed to let this guy just run?!' I really rebelled at the idea at first. But you learn." The competition for an Olympic roster spot is going to be fierce because only 10 players are expected to make a squad. The best 10 will earn it, too, as credentials such as college All-American or NFL All-Pro take a backseat. "I would actually love" seeing NFL players try out, said Daniels, who's also a personal trainer in Miami. "I'm not going to let you just waltz in here, thinking, 'I played NFL football for five years. I'm popular. I have a huge name.' I'm still better than you and I'm going to prove it — until you prove otherwise." Around the house, Bruce Mapp constantly swivels his hips when turning a hallway corner or if his daughter tries to reach for a hug. It's his way of working on avoiding a "defender" trying to snare the flag. That approach has earned the receiver out of Coastal Carolina four gold medals with USA Football. The 31-year-old fully plans on going for more gold in Los Angeles. "You grow up watching Usain Bolt (win gold) and the 'Redeem Team' led by Kobe Bryant win a gold medal, you're always thinking, 'That's insane.' Obviously, you couldn't do it in your sport, because I played football," said Mapp, who owns a food truck in the Dallas area. "With the Olympics approaching, that (gold medal) is what my mind is set on." It's a common thought, which is why everything — including talent camps — starts now. "Everybody thinks, 'Yeah, the U.S. just wins,'" Daniels said. "But we work hard all the time. We don't just walk in. We don't just get off the bus thinking, 'We're going to beat people.'"

George Helmy, a Democrat appointed when Bob Menendez resigned after a federal corruption conviction , is stepping down this weekend so Sen.-elect Andy Kim can be sworn in early. The move was expected and confirmed what Helmy and Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy announced during his appointment this summer — that Helmy would resign early so the winner of November's election could get into office before the start of the new session of Congress next month. Murphy explained the arrangement, saying he wanted the “democratically chosen winner” of this year's election to have a smooth transition into office. Kim defeated Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw on Election Day. He'll become the first Korean-American in the Senate when he is sworn in on Monday. Helmy is a former chief of staff to Murphy and has said he wasn't interested in pursuing elected office. He counted voting to confirm 20 judicial nominations and resolving more than 100 constituent cases as some of his accomplishments in little more than two months in office. Helmy said he's been working closely with Kim since his election in November to “ensure a seamless transition.” Menendez, 70, used his influence to meddle in three different state and federal criminal investigations to protect the businessmen, prosecutors said. They said he helped one bribe-paying friend get a multimillion-dollar deal with a Qatari investment fund and another keep a contract to provide religious certification for meat bound for Egypt. Menendez has vowed to fight the conviction and recently filed for a new trial , citing improper evidence that was put on a computer used by jurors.
Kansas remained solidly entrenched at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 men's college basketball poll Monday ahead of its showdown with No. 11 Duke in Las Vegas, while a pair of schools from the Magnolia State elbowed their way back into the rankings. Kansas center Hunter Dickinson (1) celebrates after dunking the ball during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against UNC Wilmington, Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024, in Lawrence, Kan. Ole Miss returned to the poll at No. 23 while Mississippi State made its season debut at No. 25. The Jayhawks received 51 of 62 first-place votes from the national panel of media, putting them well ahead of two-time reigning national champion UConn, which was second with six first-place votes. Gonzaga was third with two first-place votes, Auburn was next with three, and Iowa State rounded out a top five that was unchanged from the previous week. There's a good chance for movement next week, though, with a host of high-profile matchups in holiday tournaments, and that matchup between the Jayhawks and Duke on Tuesday night in the Vegas Showdown. "Oh yeah, I've watched them," said Kansas coach Bill Self, who picked up his 800th career win by beating UNC Wilmington last week. "They're talented across the board. They're starting three freshmen, and everybody's going to talk about the one (Cooper Flagg), but the other two are potential lottery picks, if not lottery picks too." So do the Jayhawks, who have already beaten No. 12 North Carolina and Michigan State this season. Tennessee climbed four spots to No. 7 in this week's poll, followed by SEC rivals Kentucky and Alabama. Marquette was 10th after beating then-No. 6 Purdue and Georgia last week to reach 6-0 for the first time since the 2011-12 season. The Blue Devils and Tar Heels were followed by Purdue, which fell seven spots in the poll. Indiana and Wisconsin made it three straight Big Ten schools, while Cincinnati, Baylor, Florida, Arkansas and Texas A&M rounded out the top 20. The last five were Creighton, Ole Miss, Arizona, Mississippi State and BYU. The Wildcats narrowly extended their run in the AP Top 25 to 61 weeks — the fourth-longest active streak in the nation — after back-to-back losses to Wisconsin and Duke. "We didn't play great," Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd said after the loss to the Blue Devils, "so now we need to take a step back and figure out why. Are there some schematic problems? Are there some problems with how our personnel is kind of put together? And those are the things we're going to take a look at. I love the guys. I mean, I like the plan. But obviously when it's not going as well as you would like, you have to be honest with yourself and try to figure it out." Xavier returned to the poll for the first time since the final poll of the 2022-23 season ahead of its trip to the Fort Myers Tip-Off beginning Monday night. Ole Miss is back in the Top 25 after briefly dropping out, while Mississippi State is back after spending two weeks in the poll last November but just six weeks total over the past six years. Those three entered at the expense of Illinois, St. John's and Rutgers. The Illini lost to Alabama last week, while St. John's fell to Baylor and Georgia. Rutgers lost 79-77 at Kennesaw State, which beat a ranked team for the first time in school history. Marquette made the biggest climb this week, moving up five spots to No. 10. The Golden Eagles catch a breather this week with Stonehill and Western Carolina before back-to-back showdowns with No. 5 Iowa State and No. 15 Wisconsin. Purdue, Creighton and Arizona all dropped seven spots but remained in the poll. The Boilermakers lost to Marquette while the Bluejays lost to in-state rival Nebraska. The Wildcats dropped to 2-2, the first time they have been .500 at any point in a season since they were 3-3 to start the 2017-18 season. The SEC leads the way with nine of the Top 25 teams this week, including four in the top 10: Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. The Big 12 is next with six, including three of the first six in top-ranked Kansas, Iowa State and Houston. The Big East had four in the poll, the Big Ten three and the ACC two.

Oklahoma State leapfrogged to the front on Abou Ousmane's layup off a Brantley steal, fell behind again on a 3-pointer by Evans and then responded on a 3-pointer by Jennings to take a 17-16 lead. From there, the Cowboys stoked their advantage to double digits when Jamyron Keller canned a shot from beyond the arc with five minutes to play in the half. Florida Atlantic got a layup and a monster dunk from Matas Vokietaitis and a pair of free throws from Walker in a 6-2 run to end the half to pull within 39-34 at the break. Jennings and Ousmane tallied seven points apiece for Oklahoma State over the first 20 minutes, as the Cowboys led despite shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor in the half. Carroll and Vokietaitis scored seven points apiece to pace the Owls, who committed 11 turnovers that translated to seven points for Oklahoma State before halftime. --Field Level Media

While some people associate winter with coziness and cheer, the colder months don't feel quite as festive for everyone. For some, the darker days and colder weather can serve as a trigger for seasonal affective disorder (SAD). You may have heard of SAD also referred to as "seasonal depression," typically setting in during the fall and winter months — times when your circadian rhythm is thrown off by the dreary weather. As the days grow shorter , the temperature gets colder, and the weather seems gloomier, it's unsurprising that some people may feel the effects. In fact, research suggests that up to 30 percent of people with depression or bipolar disorder notice different symptoms when the seasons change. But SAD is more than the winter blues — it's a serious mental health condition. If you're still curious about SAD, or worried you may have it yourself, we asked experts what seasonal affective disorder is, what causes seasonal affective disorder, and what you can do to treat it. Read on for expert-approved advice that'll help you identify and alleviate symptoms of seasonal affective disorder — because no one deserves to suffer through the season alone. Kenneth Yeager , PhD, LISW-S, LICDC, is a clinical professor at Ohio State University, and director of the Stress Trauma and Resilience (STAR) program. Bradley Seymour , PhD, is an associate teaching professor of psychology at Syracuse University. What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder? Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as seasonal depression, is a form of depression tied to the changing of the seasons. According to the Mayo Clinic , most people with SAD start experiencing symptoms in the early fall, and all through the winter. SAD can also affect people in the spring or summer, but this is much less common. Causes of Seasonal Affective Disorder While there isn't one agreed-upon cause for SAD, chemical imbalances linked to general depression (low levels of serotonin, glutamate, GABA, etc.) may also be tied to seasonal depression. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic , decreased sun exposure in the winter months may contribute to lower serotonin and increased melatonin. Another theory is that disruptions to your body's circadian rhythm (biological clock), may lead to changes in your overall mood. Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder Much like general depression, SAD can impact everyone differently. That said, it's most often characterized by symptoms like: Seasonal Affective Disorder Treatments If you notice the seasonal shift taking a toll on your mental health, there are some ways to alleviate symptoms. Ahead, mental health professionals share some expert-approved strategies to help you feel more like yourself — even when the days start looking a little gloomier — featuring foods to eat, products to try, and small lifestyle changes you can incorporate into your daily routine. As a note, if you find yourself needing additional support, don't hesitate to reach out to a mental health care provider who can give you more personalized medical advice and help you better manage SAD. — Additional reporting by Tamara Pridgett and Chandler Plante Dominique Michelle Astorino is a former PS contributor.

Paramount Plus Has a Black Friday Deal for $3 That You Can Gobble UpPatrick Mahomes ’ wallet is taking a hit after the football star’s recent gesture during a moment of celebration in the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills was deemed “violent.” During the football game on Sunday, Nov. 17, Mahomes threw a successful touchdown pass and took a second to celebrate, holding his first and middle fingers together and pointing them away from him. To some, Mahomes’ gesture could have been interpreted to be emulating guns, although it’s not clear what Mahomes’ intention was. SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter & get the scoop on the latest TV news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox Either way, the NFL was not a fan, with sports journalist Tom Pelissero sharing a clip of the moment and writing, “The NFL fined #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes $14,069 for unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture) as he celebrated a touchdown pass last week in Buffalo.” The news was also reported by CBS Sports . Reactions to the call were generally negative, with those who disagreed with Mahomes’ fine saying things like, “He’s literally pointing?” “So he was fined for striking a pose? Got it,” and “I thought it was a bow and arrow. Chiefs hello.” “I’m not even sure what the ‘violent gesture’ is supposed to be. It looks like a cross between two finger guns and the drawing back of a bow string,” wrote another fan. Even people who aren’t fans of the Chiefs questioned the serious call, with one declaring, “Let them celebrate however they want!” There were also some people who agreed with the call, voicing their support on social media. Last season, Mahomes faced a larger fine of $50,000 for “verbally abusing” game officials, while his coach Andy Reid earned a fine of $100,000 for publicly criticizing the officials ruling on the game.
Global Medical Robots Market Set For 20.4% Growth, Reaching $34.15 Billion By 2028A snowball fight at Kidd Brewer Stadium ? There were elements of that Saturday in Boone, North Carolina, when JMU football stood in the tunnel waiting to enter the field in its game against Appalachian State . In a snowy stadium, fans standing by the visitors tunnel hurled snowballs and other objects at the Dukes while they stood in the tunnel. The players had pads and helmets on, but not everyone in the tunnel did. JMU football coach Bob Chesney said even after coming out of the tunnel before the game, snowballs kept falling. He thought there were a few instances during the game. @SunBelt when do your officials plan on stopping the snowballs being thrown on the field at JMU players lined up for the snap? The warning should have been made at the beginning of the game with a penalty for this. pic.twitter.com/4vPADFgAf9 "I thought at one point on the PAT, a snowball hit our long snapper," Chesney said. "It's just what they're doing and who they are and it's exciting." JMU and Appalachian State have developed a rivalry since the Dukes moved to the Sun Belt. In 2022 — during the Dukes' transition year before they were officially part of FBS — JMU came back to win after being down 28-3. In 2023, the Mountaineers beat the Dukes at home in overtime with College GameDay in town. It was JMU's first game at Kidd Brewer Stadium since that comeback win two years ago. The Dukes were greeted with snowballs, among other projectiles. Chesney said he appreciated the fanfare, but was concerned for his staff members who had to go back and forth through the tunnel without protection. "You didn't love going up and down the ramp with ice (thrown) at you," Chesney said. "Especially with coaches and everybody else in there without helmets on. "I think they need to do a little bit of a better job of making sure they protected those people." Those staff members included JMU coaches, support staff and athletic trainers among others. At one point, Chesney's son was out there as well. I mean ... is this not a penalty? Kind of insane the Sun Belt threatened JMU fans for throwing streamers with penalties yet this goes unnoticed https://t.co/w3A1D744Uq As of Monday, Chesney hadn't received official word from the Sun Belt about what happened. He has not heard anything from JMU athletic director Mark Roan, either. "It was interesting coming up through that tunnel," Chesney said, "the unprotected areas with the ice being thrown over, that was an interesting moment, especially with the coaches and our trainers and everybody else. "It was not the greatest situation, but I think we all survived. I thought they could have done a better job, especially with the security people watching them. I think there could have been a little more done to protect those people, especially without the helmets on."
