Aldi Ireland launch major new motor accessories range with winter car essentials and ice melt spray from €4.99In a scathing attack, BJP national president JP Nadda has accused Congress of attempting to sensationalize the ongoing violence in Manipur. In a public statement, Nadda slammed Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge for what he described as a 'false, incorrect, and politically motivated' narrative aimed at gaining political mileage. Nadda alleged that under Congress rule, Manipur saw some of its bloodiest periods and critiqued the party for failing to manage the situation effectively in the past. He accused Congress of endorsing foreign forces that threatened India's progress and questioned if this was a blind spot or a strategic move to divide the nation. Highlighting BJP's leadership in the region, Nadda stated that the central and state governments have been working tirelessly to stabilize Manipur, with investigations being conducted by the NIA. He contrasted this with Congress's history of neglect in the region, emphasizing significant improvements under Prime Minister Modi's administration.

Dean had indulged in a feast of junk food earlier, which had been won by Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles during a secret mission.

Alan asked, “You don’t fancy it? No?” before walking off to help Jane himself. Dean eventually joined the pair but wasn’t pleased with Alan’s earlier approach. He said, “Listen to me. If you’re gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright? It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright?

Jane was halfway down here, that’s why I went.” I'm A Celeb fans spot clues that Ant is 'raging' with Dean after Bushtucker Trial flop ITV viewers were left fuming as they rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to slam Dean. One wrote: "dean sir what is your problem???????" while another added: "Hopefully Dean McCullough will walk out, he’s insufferable." A third commented: "Dean screwed himself on tonight’s show going after Tyrone. #ImACeleb. He has been beyond useless in the trials and then scolds Tyrone like a bold child." One more concluded: "Well Dean can f**k the right off after talking to Alan like that! Shame you don’t put that much emotion into your trials. D**khead." Yesterday, host Ant McPartlin broke his silence after viewers accused him of being in a feud with Dean. Ant and Dec appeared on ITV2 spin-off show Unpacked on Thursday as they discussed the latest Bushtucker Trial. Ant admitted he was "annoyed" at Dean for screaming 'I'm A Celeb' and quitting the task early - and being "unprofessional" in how he dealt with it. Unpacked presenter Joel Dommett said: "It's going to be so nice seeing someone new do a trial tomorrow." Dec replied: "Also Danny is determined, he's enthusiastic, so there's no hiding for Dean - he's going to have to step up." Ant said: "You kind of hope that he's going to raise his game a little bit, I thought he was going to do that today." While Sam Thompson, who won the jungle show last year, admitted he was disappointed by Dean's efforts. He piped up saying: "Fish guts mates, he had a spider on his head." An irritated Ant responded: "I told you not to talk to me about it Sam. My annoyance came across on screen and it was quite unprofessional and I'm not happy about it." Dec sarcastically said: "I think you hid it quite well, Ant...I think you hid it quite well." Ant went on: "You get to the point when you think 'what are you doing?'" He then admitted that he's "going to be kind to him [Dean] today...I'll be good cop today." Dean returned to camp last night, announcing that he’d won just four stars after a gruesome trial. Earlier this week, viewers were convinced that Ant was secretly furious with Dean after he called time on Wednesday's challenge and failed to secure any stars. Ant, known for his playful banter with co-host Dec, appeared unusually stern, hinting at his frustration as he greeted Dean for yet another trial, Lethal Lab. He even warned Dean that he was the "bad cop" in their hosting duo. Dean’s upbeat demeanor after the trial seemed to catch Ant off guard. As the DJ bowled into the clearing, Ant quipped: "Hello, Dean. I didn’t expect that. I thought you’d be a little bit forlorn, a little bit sad. It looks like you’re loving life. Have you been to the pub?" Dean laughed it off, replying: "No, no, I’ve just had a cold shower." Ant then shifted to a more serious tone, confronting Dean about his recent failures, saying: "Now, Dean, I want to have a word with you. What happened yesterday? No stars. What happened the day before? You said, 'I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.'" Dean admitted: "Oh, it’s not good, but that’s why I’m ready for it today, because we’re going to change the narrative." But Ant didn’t let him off the hook, firmly responding: "You can only change the narrative by sticking with it and getting on with it." The exchange left Dean momentarily stunned. "I feel like I’m being told off by Ant and Dec," he joked. Ant was quick to clarify: "Well, by me," while Dec chimed in to reassure, "I’m good cop."

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday said his incoming administration would slap new tariffs on imported goods from Mexico, Canada and China, fulfilling a key campaign promise that could have a major impact on trade. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he plans to seek to impose a 25% tariff on products imported from Mexico and Canada, framing the proposed plan as a response to the ongoing fentanyl crisis. "On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders," Trump wrote. "This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!" Trump said that he would also seek to impose additional tariffs on China. "I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States — But to no avail," Trump wrote. "Until such time as they stop, we will be charging China an additional 10% Tariff, above any additional Tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States of America." Embassies for Canada, China and Mexico did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday night. The U.S. and China held high-level talks this year about the fentanyl crisis in an effort to resume counternarcotics cooperation after President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in California last year. Biden also announced he would increase the tariff rate on various goods from China, saying in May that he would increase the tariffs on electric vehicles from 25% to 100% this year. On the campaign trail, Trump declared he would impose 20% blanket tariff on all imports, and add tariffs of at least 60% to Chinese products. During a presidential debate with then-Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, who called Trump's tariffs a "sales tax on the American people," Trump cast the proposed tariffs as a kind of payback. “Other countries are going to finally, after 75 years, pay us back for all that we’ve done for the world, and the tariff will be substantial,” Trump said during the September debate. Any proposed tariffs are likely to receive some pushback from businesses and on Capitol Hill, as NBC News has previously reported . This story first appeared on NBCNews.com . More from NBC News: 5 Democratic assumptions shattered by the 2024 election: From the Politics Desk Top federal prosecutor in New York announces resignation before Trump takes office Senator introduces bill to compel more transparency from AI developersWASHINGTON (AP) — The chair of the Democratic National Committee informed party leaders on Monday that the DNC will choose his successor in February, an election that will speak volumes about how the party wants to present itself during four more years of Donald Trump in the White House. Jaime Harrison, in a letter to members of the party’s powerful Rules & Bylaws Committee, outlined the process of how the party will elect its new chair. Harrison said in the letter that the committee will host four candidate forums — some in person and some virtually — in January, with the final election on Feb. 1 during the party’s winter meeting in National Harbor, Maryland. The race to become the next chair of the Democratic National Committee, while an insular party affair, will come days after Trump is inaugurated for a second term. Democrats' selection of a leader after Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 loss will be a key starting point as the party starts to move forward, including addressing any structural problems and determining how to oppose Trump. Members of the Rules & Bylaws Committee will meet on Dec. 12 to establish the rules for these elections, which beyond the chair position will include top party roles like vice chairs, treasurer, secretary and national finance chair. The committee will also use that meeting to decide the requirements for gaining access to the ballot for those top party roles. In 2021, candidates were required to submit a nominating statement that included signatures from 40 DNC members and that will likely be the same standard for the 2025 campaigns. “The DNC is committed to running a transparent, equitable, and impartial election for the next generation of leadership to guide the party forward,” Harrison said in a statement. “Electing the Chair and DNC officers is one of the most important responsibilities of the DNC Membership, and our staff will run an inclusive and transparent process that gives members the opportunity to get to know the candidates as they prepare to cast their votes.” Two Democrats have announced campaigns for chair: Ken Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and a vice chair of the national party, and Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor and current commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Other top Democrats are either considering a run to succeed Harrison or are being pushed by party insiders, including former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke; Michael Blake, a former vice chair of the party; Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin; Rahm Emanuel, the U.S. ambassador to Japan and a former Chicago mayor; Sen. Mallory McMorrow, majority whip of the Michigan Senate, and Chuck Rocha, a longtime Democratic strategist. The next chair of the committee will be tasked with rebuilding a party demoralized by a second Trump victory. They will also oversee the party’s 2028 nominating process, a complex and contentious exercise that will make the chair central to the next presidential election. Harrison, of South Carolina, made clear in his letter to the rules committee that the four forums hosted by the party would be live streamed and the party would give grassroots Democrats across the country the ability to engage with the process through those events. He also said he intends to remain neutral during the chair election. This story has been corrected to show that McMorrow is a senator, not a representative.
ISLAMABAD: Completely distancing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from the controversial decision to hold talks with banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the opposition leader in National Assembly Omar Ayub said on Saturday that talks with banned outfit were “proposed and advocated” by no other than the ex-army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa during a National Security Committee (NSC). Speaking at a presser in response to Director General (DG) Inter-Services Public Relation’s (ISPR) press conference a day ago, in which he blamed the then Prime Minister Imran Khan of holding talking with TTP, Ayub said: “It was not Imran Khan as it was General Bajwa who said the every issue can be resolved through dialogue with TTP.” “The issue of holding talks with TTP was discussed in the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting that talks should be held with the TTP. This was not PTI’s decision, as it was Gen Bajwa’s decision, who advocated for it.” Afghan Taliban target ‘several points’ in Pakistan in retaliation for airstrikes: Afghan defence ministry In the same breath, Ayub, who is a senior PTI leader, said that on July 05, 2022, when Shehbaz Sharif was prime minister, Gen Bajwa and his director-general Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum, also gave a similar briefing to NSC, and reiterated to hold talks with TTP. “This is beyond comprehension why the DG ISPR is blaming Imran Khan for holding talks with TTP. I would like to ask to recall his briefing to NSC to the PDM government led by Shehbaz Sharif on July 5, 2022 after Imran Khan’s ouster from power,” he added. He criticised the government’s failure to curb fuel smuggling along the Afghan border, which he claimed amounts to Rs550 billion annually, adding there isn’t a local official sitting on the border in Balochistan or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. “Who is responsible for this massive smuggling when there is military everywhere at border, and why have they failed to curb smuggling,” he questioned. He also highlighted alleged financial neglect of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by the federal government, asserting that the province has not received Rs1,500 billion owed to it. He claimed KP had contributed Rs3.3 billion to its health card scheme, while Islamabad contributed nothing substantial in return. Ayub referenced past government claims from July 2022 that talks with the TTP were ongoing, emphasising that these discussions predated PTI’s government. Referring to controversial events such as May 9 and November 26, Ayub demanded the establishment of a judicial commission for investigation. “Military courts are not the answer. Judicial officers should not be handed a single sheet of paper to read from and sentence individuals,” he said. He alleged that convictions of detainees, including that of Hassan Niazi, would ultimately be overturned by high courts. Ayub criticised Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi for alleged clearance of D-Chowk using American and British firearms, which were given to Pakistan during Afghan war, adding the American and British sophisticated weapons which were given to Pakistan were against peaceful protesters. He accused authorities of firing live ammunition during the operation, highlighting an alleged incident where a PTI supporter was shot in his shoulder, with the bullet exiting through his abdomen. Ayub said that the jailed party founding chairman Imran Khan is willing to reconcile in the best interest of the country. “Imran Khan told me recently that he forgives everyone for the sake of Pakistan,” he said. Speaking on the occasion, Shibli Faraz, the opposition leader in Senate, refuted the “false perception” that Imran Khan was seeking relief for himself in talks with PML-N-led coalition government. “Imran Khan stands firm on its principled stance and serving jail terms for the sake of people,” he said, adding, “The ruling coalition is doing false propaganda that Imran Khan is seeking relief for him, but let me say that talks will be held if all the political prisoners are released.” Responding to a question Faraz said that the PTI is a peaceful political party, adding that they were struggling for their rights within the ambit of the Constitution and the law. Referring to dozens of cases against PTI leadership, he said that they were fighting a legal battle in the court despite difficulties, insisting the second part of their struggle was a “peaceful protest”. He alleged that the incumbent government was working as per the dictation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), adding that they don’t care about lights of the people. He said that the PTI rejects fascist ideas and undemocratic thinking, and warned that the coalition government would be responsible if the talks are failed.

Conference title games a chance at a banner, bragging rights and, for some, a season-wrecking lossKeshi Anderson’s winning goal against Exeter City delighted Chris Davies because it came from the training ground. Davies wants his wingers to attack the box and get on the end of each other’s deliveries and Anderson did that to great effect at St James Park. The 29-year-old converted Ayumu Yokoyama’s cross from the left to give Birmingham City a 2-1 victory over the Grecians. As a result, Blues have advanced into the last-16 of the Vertu Trophy and are now just three games away from Wembley. Anderson continued his fine form with his 11th goal contribution in 22 matches this season. Reacting to Anderson’s winner, Davies said: “That’s what I talk about with these guys. We have quality in the final third and what I want to make sure is when we get the ball there we make them defend. READ: Blues player ratings as Yokoyama and Anderson combine to down Exeter READ: Wrexham chief sends 'busy' January transfer warning to Birmingham City in promotion race “That’s getting crosses in. Ayumu can both ways, he’s right-footed so when he checks back on his right we want the attackers on the opposite side of the pitch to know they have to be there. That’s the right winger scoring off a left-winger’s cross so that’s a great sign.” Luke Harris gave Blues the lead against his former loan club before Pierce Sweeney scored direct from a corner to level matters. Davies was pleased a Blues side fielding eight changes were able to overcome a League One rival. The Blues boss added: “It was a really good night for us. We made a lot of changes but we controlled it throughout. First half I thought we controlled the ball without creating too much. Second half they got a little bit more fatigued. They had some moments but we created some good situations.” Get the latest Blues headlines sent straight to your phone BirminghamLive has its very own Birmingham City WhatsApp community to deliver the latest headlines straight to your phone.

Tune out the noise and know this: former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi is the force we need to fix the Department of Justice, and Americans can rest assured that weaponizing any part of our nation’s criminal justice system will soon come to a decisive end. Strong, intelligent and a dear friend and colleague, Bondi is a litigator I’ve always respected and admired. She served as Florida’s first AG for eight years after a successful 18 years as a county prosecutor where she followed the rule of law and actively listened to constituents who wanted strong and safe communities. As a former Democrat, she witnessed first-hand the elitism and divisive politics from grassroots to national policy before switching to the GOP in 2000. Bondi championed anti-human-trafficking legislation while helping to bring the issue into the national spotlight, and she justifiably demanded the Department of Justice be diligent and transparent in their investigations of Hunter Biden. 1.4 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN US HAVE BEEN ORDERED DEPORTED, BUT HAVE YET TO BE REMOVED: OFFICIAL I have great confidence that Bondi and President-elect Donald Trump recognize that the hallmark of justice is the equal application of the law, and that this month’s "red sweep" of the election is evidence that voters want politicians to stop the rhetoric and solve problems. Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is Trump's new pick as AG.

One victim or any single crime-riddled community is one too many. And with the permeation of social media, all of it feels imminent to our own families and neighborhoods. While some Republicans are reacting to constituents' fears with knee-jerk, ineffective tough-on-crime policies, history has shown us, responding to crime with overly punitive policies doesn’t make any of us safer. As a former U.S. attorney, I worked closely with the Trump administration to help craft and pass the landmark, bipartisan 2018 First Step Act, and I can tell you that thoughtful, conservative criminal justice solutions work. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Through improved federal prison programming, targeted sentencing reforms, and other First Step Act directives, public safety has improved. Of the 44,000 individuals released from federal prison under the First Step Act, only 9.7% have been rearrested or reconvicted — an incredible improvement from 46.2% prior to 2018. Just as the name implies, this landmark law was a first step for Trump and other conservative criminal justice advocates to use smart on crime policy solutions to improve public safety. Conservatives can build on that success by promoting thoughtful conservative policy ideas in our states, counties and at the federal level. No matter what your party affiliation, we can all agree that one victim is one too many and that criminals must be held accountable. Haphazardly creating new crimes or stiffer sentencing do not deter individual criminals — rather, it is the predictability of being caught that deters individuals from committing a crime. Further, boots-on-the-ground law enforcement in every capacity needs our support and resources. When forces are stretched too thin with outdated technology and policies, it’s no surprise that only 57.8% of murders and 26.9% of rapes are being solved. Victims deserve better.

As America’s next attorney general, Bondi will empower Americans to work together to find solutions to solve criminal justice problems unique to their own communities and to stand their ground against any attempted weaponization of our justice system. With Pam Bondi at the helm, the DOJ is on notice that transparency and an equal application of the law is non-negotiable. And with that, conservatives have a real opportunity to be the grown-ups in the room and create criminal justice solutions that are equitable for all Americans today and for generations to come.
