Alex Iwobi scored twice to catapult the Cottagers six places from 12th in a congested table. Fulham were pegged back after Iwobi’s quickfire opener by Carlos Baleba’s fine strike early in the second half. But Matt O’Riley’s own goal gifted them the lead again and Iwobi hit his second to ensure Brighton have still never beaten Fulham in the Premier League. Silva said: “They are a really tough team to play against, top quality individuals, not losing many games. “We started the game the best way possible but the first half was really difficult for us. They had chances to equalise and were the better team. “The second half was completely different. Even when they equalised we were the best team on the pitch and we reacted well. It’s a big three points for us against top opposition. Credit to Brighton but I think we deserved the win. “We are pleased with the position, we know our reality and we are going to push ourselves.” Just three minutes had elapsed when Brighton handed Fulham the lead after playing the ball back to their goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, a few yards to the left of his goal. The Dutchman was under minimal pressure, but his pass out towards Baleba on the edge of the box was intercepted by Iwobi who strode forward and tucked the ball into an empty net before Verbruggen could scramble back. The equaliser came moments later, and for all Brighton’s slick short passing it came from Jan Paul Van Hecke’s straightforward ball over the top. Joao Pedro did brilliantly to cushion the ball into the path of Baleba, with the Cameroon youngster bludgeoning a low shot from the edge of the box past Bernd Leno into the corner. But Fulham went ahead again with 11 minutes remaining when substitute Andreas Pereira swung in a corner. The ball skimmed off the head of Calvin Bassey and went in off the back of the unfortunate O’Riley. Then, with three minutes left, Iwobi spun away from two Brighton defenders before curling past Verbruggen into the far corner to secure victory for the upwardly-mobile Cottagers. It was an uncomfortable watch for Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler, albeit high up in Fulham’s plush new Riverside Stand while he served a touchline ban. “It’s not the best feeling to watch in the stand,” he said. “I think we all know that’s not the result we deserved. “We created a lot of chances and gave away a goal with an error in the build-up and an own goal. “But it’s football. That’s exactly what I demand from Bart, to find solutions on the ground. We will give him feedback and the players will improve. “But mistakes happen. If there were no mistakes there would be no goals.” This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.ST. PAUL, Minn.

Political Turmoil in South Korea: The Push for ImpeachmentSanctuary Advisors LLC Has $267,000 Stake in Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:WH)MEXICO CITY (AP) — Over 18,000 people in Mexico have registered online to run for Supreme Court seats and federal judgeships in the country's contentious new selection process , but a random drawing in the end will determine who gets on the ballot, officials said Monday. The ruling party pushed through a constitutional reform in September to make all federal judges stand for election, replacing the system where court employees and lawyers mainly move up through the ranks. Current court employees and their supporters have staged dozens of demonstrations against the reforms, calling them part of a ruling-party campaign to weaken checks and balances and eliminate independent regulatory and oversight bodies. Now, candidates for Supreme Court seats and federal judgeships need only a law degree, a grade point average of 3.2, “five years of professional experience” and five letters of recommendation from neighbors or friends. That, and some luck in the final drawing. Officials rejected criticism that has called the process rushed or amateurish for the often highly technical posts that can hear cases including intellectual property, organized crime and Constitutional law. “The results have been spectacular,” said Arturo Zaldivar, a top advisor to President Claudia Sheinbaum. According to the plan, evaluation committees will have just over a month to review thousands of resumes and whittle the field to about 10 candidates or less for each for the 881 judgeships and nine seats on the Supreme Court. Then 1,793 names chosen at random from those selected will appear on the ballot on June 1. Critics warn that many who land on the ballot will be unknowns who perhaps have never argued a case in the courts they seek to run. “You don’t elect a doctor or a surgeon for an operation based on their popularity, you elect them based on their technical expertise, their ability, their knowledge,” said Sergio Méndez Silva, the legal coordinator for the civic group Foundation for Justice. “That also applies for a judge.” With candidates now having to run election campaigns, critics warn there's a chance drug cartels or political parties could finance them to get friendly judges onto the bench. There are also concerns that the evaluation committees deciding who makes the cut for the selection to appear on ballots may not be impartial. Most committee members were appointed by the legislative or executive branches, controlled by the ruling Morena party. Some critics argue that the current justice system, which is riddled with nepotism, corruption and a lack of accountability, needs to be changed. “We need a justice system that gives results,” said Martínez Garza, an academic and former head of the human rights commission in the northern border state of Nuevo Leon who has registered to run for a Supreme Court seat. Trials in Mexico can last for years, and the ruling party has added to the growing list of crimes for which bail is not allowed, meaning that a large percentage of the prison population is people awaiting trial.
Traders Purchase Large Volume of Put Options on Microchip Technology (NASDAQ:MCHP)The head of the Secret Service sparred with a Republican lawmaker at a contentious congressional hearing into security failings that led to the deadly assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump. Ronald Rowe took pointed questions from both sides of the aisle about how the agency could have allowed a teen gunman to open fire on Trump , lightly wounding him and killing one of his supporters at a July campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The hearing turned nasty when Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas) accused Rowe of cozying up to President Biden at a 9/11 remembrance event in what he suggested was an effort to curry favor and win the top Secret Service position. “Do not invoke 9/11 for political purposes,” yelled Rowe, who responded to Ground Zero after the 2001 terror attacks. “Don’t try and bully me,” Fallon shot back. Rowe took over the reins of the Secret Service, at least temporarily, after former director Kimberly Cheatle stepped down amid widespread criticism of lax security at the rally where Trump was shot. Trump has not announced who might get the job permanently. Rowe insisted the Secret Service is “reorganizing and reimagining” its culture following the shocking Trump shooting. He promised accountability for what he called the agency’s “abject failure” to secure the rally, where a gunman managed to climb atop a nearby building that offered a clear line of sight to Trump and unload several shots. Trump was wounded in the ear, while supporter Corey Comperatore was killed in the attack. Two others were wounded before the gunman was felled by a Secret Service sharpshooter. “It is essential that we recognize the gravity of our failure,” Rowe said. The panel is expected to release a report into the Trump assassination effort by next week at the latest. Rowe was repeatedly asked by flabbergasted lawmakers how glaring and elementary security failings were allowed to happen, including communications difficulties between the Secret Service and local law enforcement, as well as the lax security of the rally perimeter. Rep. Jason Crow, a Colorado Democrat, said it was “just wild to me” that the Secret Service was using inefficient text messages and emails to communicate in real time about deadly threats. Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) called the agency’s conduct “lackadaisical.” “It speaks of an apathy or a complacency that is really unacceptable,” Green said. Another apparent attempt on Trump’s life in September added to questions about the agency’s effectiveness. The gunman in that case lay in wait for Trump at his golf course in Florida , but a Secret Service agent spotted a firearm poking through bushes and thwarted the slay try. He was later arrested nearby and is awaiting trial.MEXICO CITY (AP) — Over 18,000 people in Mexico have registered online to run for Supreme Court seats and federal judgeships in the country's contentious new selection process , but a random drawing in the end will determine who gets on the ballot, officials said Monday.

Tomislav Ivisic scored a career-high 23 points to lead six players in double figures as No. 24 Illinois raced past visiting Chicago State 117-64 on Sunday in Champaign, Ill. Kylan Boswell also starred for the Fighting Illini (9-3) with an 18-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double. Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn added 16 points, while Kasparas Jakucionis contributed 14. Will Riley hit for 13 points and Morez Johnson Jr. came off the bench to net 11. Gabe Spinelli scored 20 points for the winless Cougars (0-15) and Noble Crawford added 15, but they just didn't have the scoring punch to stay with their Big Ten Conference opponent. Illinois outshot Chicago State 62.1 percent (41 of 66) to 37.3 percent (25 of 67) from the field and 45.5 percent (15 of 33) to 32.3 percent (10 of 31) from the 3-point line. The Cougars were also outrebounded 47-23. Illinois led for all but 24 seconds of the game, scoring basically at will. The Illini reaped a 28-4 advantage in free-throw attempts, drew 26 assists and earned a 48-16 advantage in points in the paint. In its last game before jumping into the bulk of its Big Ten schedule Thursday night at Oregon, Illinois wasted no time putting its stamp on the game. It carved out a double-figure edge at the 14:59 mark of the first half on Gibbs-Lawhorn's 3-pointer that made it 17-7 and simply kept expanding that lead. The margin reached 20 for the first time with 10:06 left when Ivisic drained a 3-pointer from the right wing for a 32-10 cushion. Johnson's foul shot with 3:43 remaining increased the advantage to 30 at 48-18, and Jake Davis' 3-pointer from the corner with a second on the clock gave the Illini a 60-24 cushion at halftime. Boswell's short jumper with 18:22 left in the game built Illinois' first 40-point advantage at 65-24. Riley splashed a 3-pointer with 9:57 remaining to up the lead to 50 at 93-43. Davis made another 3-pointer at the 7:59 mark to get the Illini to the 100-point threshold. They led by as many as 58 points in the final two minutes. --Field Level Media
The assembly elections results in Jharkhand and Maharashtra have something to rejoice for India’s two main national alliances — the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Congress-led INDIA bloc. Both Jharkhand and Maharashtra delivered decisive verdicts in favour of incumbent parties, and the Opposition alliances in both states were crushed. In that sense, the outcomes are similar to the results of Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections — the BJP won the former and the INDIA bloc the latter. What explains the victory of the incumbents in Jharkhand and Maharashtra? The incumbent chief ministers (CMs) were popular, of course, but their popularity alone could not have delivered such sweeping wins. One common factor in both states, which analysts are likely to highlight, is that the Ladki Bahin Yojana in Maharashtra and Maiya Samman Yojana in Jharkhand rallied women voters in favour of the incumbents. The Axis My-India exit poll that predicted landslide victories for the NDA in Maharashtra and INDIA block in Jharkhand did note a significant support for the incumbent among women voters. Did women voters alone turn the table in favour of the incumbent? Why did the Opposition campaign in both states fail to gain traction? After all, the NDA in Jharkhand and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra had compelling narratives: In Jharkhand, the BJP attempted to mobilise voters on the issue of infiltration by illegal migrants while the MVA focussed mainly on issues of social justice. The Opposition in both states highlighted the economic distress, unemployment, corruption and mis-governance of the incumbent in their campaigns. There is another way to read the poll outcomes of the past one year. The results are defying expectations and the parties confident of being ahead seem to lose ground at the end of extended campaigns. Is it a story of confidence turning into over-confidence (and in some cases, arrogance), eventually leading to the loss of votes and seats? Many thought that the Congress would retain Chhattisgarh and regain Madhya Pradesh in 2023. The BJP expected to increase its majority in the 2024 Lok Sabha, and the Congress, a return to office in Haryana. The results turned out to be different. The assumption that the BJP was ahead in Jharkhand and the MVA led in Maharashtra was not entirely unfounded. For example, the BJP had done well in Jharkhand in the Lok Sabha elections. The INDIA bloc had made a dent, but only in the Scheduled Tribe (ST)- dominated seats. The BJP also had a strong social coalition in Jharkhand: The All Jharkhand Students’ Union (AJSU) was an ally, Babulal Marandi, the first CM of Jharkhand and a BJP rebel, had returned to the party fold, and important tribal leaders such as Champai Soren had joined the saffron outfit. The BJP had hoped that its narrative on infiltration would help Hindu consolidation. Similarly, many thought the MVA was poised to return in Maharashtra on account of the drubbing the Mahayuti received in the Lok Sabha election. They assumed that though the Ladki Bahin Yojana would turn the elections into a competitive affair, it would not be enough to overcome factors such as rural distress and the Maratha quota stir. These expectations eventually did not hold up. The landslide victories of the incumbents in both states indicate that the regional divides and socio-economic fault lines have been flattened. The winners have consolidated their core voters, made gains in non-core segments, and improved both their vote shares and seat tallies as compared to the previous election. These results should be a sobering reminder to the Congress that its performance during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections was a one-time affair. So, what do the results mean for the Congress and the BJP? The Congress is yet to figure out the reasons for its loss in Haryana, and now, it has been pushed to fifth place in terms of seats in the Maharashtra legislative assembly. Within a decade of being the pre-eminent party in the state, the Congress’s tally has fallen to its lowest in Maharashtra. In Jammu Kashmir and Jharkhand, which the INDIA bloc won, the party’s strike rate was much lower than that of its alliance partners. Assembly elections are due in Delhi and Bihar next year. It remains to be seen if the Aam Aadmi Party will ally with the Congress. Even if it does, the Congress is unlikely to get a respectable deal in terms of seats. Similarly, in Bihar, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is unlikely to indulge the Congress since its recent performances have been below par. Moreover, the Congress had contested 70 of 243 seats in Bihar in the 2020 assembly elections and won just 19, whereas the RJD won 75 of 144 seats, and the Left parties won 19 of 27 seats. Given this, it is time for the Congress to go back to the drawing board and reformulate its revival plan if it hopes to build on its improved performance in the general election. The BJP has reasons to be happy with the Maharashtra results considering the setback in the Lok Sabha election. It has redeemed itself by winning office in Haryana and Maharashtra. However, the BJP musy remember that its challenges are far from over. The failure to regain Jharkhand will hurt: The scale of defeat should force introspection over its mobilisation strategy, which this time relied on creating a wedge between dominant and non-dominant communities and religious polarisation. Both the Haryana and Maharashtra results suggest that the party has the capability to turn around elections even at the stage of the campaign.It could do so as an incumbent in the two states, but failed as an opponent in Jharkhand. Between 2014 and 2024, the BJP was more likely to win as an opposition and had a difficulty in retaining states as an incumbent. Welfare promises alone may not necessarily help the BJP in Delhi next year, or West Bengal in 2026. The BJP is desperate to win these, but in both places the adversaries are incumbent parties with strong welfarist orientation. The party needs to re-calibrate its election strategy in a post-2024 scenario that requires working on multiple fronts and not solely relying on the Opposition’s mistakes or Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charisma.
