'Blaze of Intolerance:' Jaguar Boss Lashes Out at Critics of Ad Featuring Crossdressers Instead of CarsNoneThe Associated Press 7:01 JST, November 27, 2024 JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel approved a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement with Lebanon’s Hezbollah on Tuesday that would end nearly 14 months of fighting linked to the war in the Gaza Strip. The ceasefire would mark the first major step toward ending the regionwide unrest triggered by Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. But it does not address the devastating war in Gaza, where Hamas is still holding dozens of hostages and the conflict is more intractable. Hours before the ceasefire with Hezbollah was to take effect, Israel carried out the most intense wave of strikes in Beirut and its southern suburbs since the start of the conflict and issued a record number of evacuation warnings. At least 24 people were killed in strikes across the country, according to local authorities, as Israel signaled it aims to pummel Hezbollah before the ceasefire takes hold at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday. Another huge airstrike shook Beirut shortly after the ceasefire was announced. There appeared to be some lingering disagreement over whether Israel would have the right to strike Hezbollah if it believed the militants had violated the agreement, something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted was part of the deal but which Lebanese and Hezbollah officials have rejected. Israel’s security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement after it was presented by Netanyahu, his office said. U.S. President Joe Biden, speaking in Washington, called the agreement “good news” and said his administration would make a renewed push for a ceasefire in Gaza. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to bring peace to the Middle East without saying how. The Biden administration spent much of this year trying to broker a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza but the talks repeatedly sputtered to a halt. Still, any halt to the fighting in Lebanon is expected to reduce the likelihood of war between Israel and Iran, which backs both Hezbollah and Hamas and exchanged direct fire with Israel on two occasions earlier this year. Netanyahu presented the ceasefire proposal to Cabinet ministers after a televised address in which he listed a series of accomplishments against Israel’s enemies across the region. He said a ceasefire with Hezbollah would further isolate Hamas in Gaza and allow Israel to focus on its main enemy, Iran, which backs both groups. “If Hezbollah breaks the agreement and tries to rearm, we will attack,” he said. “For every violation, we will attack with might.” The ceasefire deal calls for a two-month initial halt in fighting and would require Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swath of southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops would return to their side of the border. Thousands of additional Lebanese troopsand U.N. peacekeepers would deploy in the south, and an international panel headed by the United States would monitor all sides’ compliance. Biden said Israel reserved the right to quickly resume operations in Lebanon if Hezbollah breaks the terms of the truce, but that the deal “was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” Netanyahu’s office said Israel appreciated the U.S. efforts in securing the deal but “reserves the right to act against every threat to its security.” Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati welcomed the ceasefire and described it as a crucial step toward stability and the return of displaced people. Hezbollah has said it accepts the proposal, but a senior official with the group said Tuesday that it had not seen the agreement in its final form. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Al Jazeera news network. “We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state,” he said, referring to Israel’s demand for freedom of action. “Any violation of sovereignty is refused.” Even as ceasefire efforts gained momentum in recent days, Israel continued to strike what it says are Hezbollah targets across Lebanon as the militants fired rockets, missiles and drones across the border. An Israeli strike on Tuesday leveled a residential building in central Beirut — the second time in recent days warplanes have hit the crowded area near the city’s downtown. At least seven people were killed and 37 wounded, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. Strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs killed at least one person and wounded 13, it said. Three people were killed in a separate strike in Beirut and three in a strike on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. Lebanese state media said another 10 people were killed in the eastern Baalbek province. Israel says it targets Hezbollah fighters and their infrastructure. Israel also struck a building in Beirut’s bustling commercial district of Hamra for the first time, hitting a site that is around 400 meters (yards) from Lebanon’s Central Bank. There were no reports of casualties. The Israeli military said it struck targets in Beirut and other areas linked to Hezbollah’s financial arm. The evacuation warnings covered many areas, including parts of Beirut that previously have not been targeted. The warnings, coupled with fear that Israel was ratcheting up attacks before a ceasefire, sent residents fleeing. Traffic was gridlocked, and some cars had mattresses tied to them. Dozens of people, some wearing their pajamas, gathered in a central square, huddling under blankets or standing around fires as Israeli drones buzzed loudly overhead. Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee issued evacuation warnings for 20 buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has a major presence, as well as a warning for the southern town of Naqoura where the U.N. peacekeeping mission, UNIFIL, is headquartered. UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti told The Associated Press that peacekeepers will not evacuate. The Israeli military also said its ground troops clashed with Hezbollah forces and destroyed rocket launchers in the Slouqi area on the eastern end of the Litani River, a few kilometers (miles) from the Israeli border. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah would be required to move its forces north of the Litani, which in some places is about 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of the border. Hezbollah began firing into northern Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, saying it was showing support for the Palestinians, a day after Hamas carried out its attack on southern Israel, triggering the Gaza war. Israel returned fire on Hezbollah, and the two sides have been exchanging barrages ever since. Israel escalated its campaign of bombardment in mid-September and later sent troops into Lebanon, vowing to put an end to Hezbollah fire so tens of thousands of evacuated Israelis could return to their homes. More than 3,760 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon the past 13 months, many of them civilians, according to Lebanese health officials. The bombardment has driven 1.2 million people from their homes. Israel says it has killed more than 2,000 Hezbollah members. Hezbollah fire has forced some 50,000 Israelis to evacuate in the country’s north, and its rockets have reached as far south in Israel as Tel Aviv. At least 75 people have been killed, more than half of them civilians. More than 50 Israeli soldiers have died in the ground offensive in Lebanon.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams faced fourth-and-5 at the Buffalo 35 with a 38-35 lead and just under four minutes to play Sunday in their high-octane showdown with the Bills. Sean McVay is often a conservative coach, and it would not have been surprising to see him try a long field goal, or even punt. He kept his offense on the field, and Matthew Stafford calmly went through his progression before finding Tutu Atwell across the middle for an 11-yard gain that played a major role in the Rams' ability to hold on for a season-altering, 44-42 victory over the powerhouse Bills . “We felt like we needed to make it a two-possession game,” McVay said Monday. “They were rolling. We talked about aggressively going to win that game. ... It was just a reflection of the confidence in that group and what we felt like we needed to do to be able to win the game.” The Rams offense has earned the confidence McVay showed in it at that crucial moment. That unit hasn't always been good this season, entering last weekend rated just 18th in the league, but the Rams finally are mostly healthy heading down the stretch — and Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams are again playing at last season's Pro Bowl level. That was bad news for Buffalo, and it could mean trouble for the rest of the NFC if the Rams (7-6) can keep scoring like this. Los Angeles will hope to keep this offensive momentum on a short week heading to San Francisco on Thursday night. Nacua said it was “fantastic being able to feel like, man, this is what it feels like when the Rams are moving and connecting on all cylinders.” Los Angeles had six scoring drives of at least 65 yards while racking up 457 yards against Buffalo. Stafford had a season-high 320 yards passing, while Nacua had another spectacular game with 162 yards receiving and two touchdowns along with 16 yards rushing and another TD on five carries. Incredibly, it was the Rams’ first 40-point game with Stafford behind center. Thanks to that stellar offensive performance, the Rams are above .500 for the first time all season and just one game back of Seattle (8-5) in the NFC West after winning six of their past eight games. A team that appeared to be headed for a grim season after a 1-4 start is still firmly in the playoff race, also trailing Washington (8-5) by just one game for the final wild-card spot. “It’s cool to be able to play meaningful football in December,” said McVay, who led the Rams to five playoff berths in his first seven seasons. "You never take that for granted.” The offense hummed largely because it went 11 of 15 on third downs. That's the Rams' highest success rate in a game since 2001 — and don't forget that crucial fourth down conversion, either. Few teams can stop Josh Allen, but the Rams' defense didn't come close. The defensive backs particularly struggled, from Darious Williams getting beaten repeatedly in coverage to Quentin Lake's 34-yard pass-interference penalty in the final moments. Two weeks after Philadelphia dropped 481 yards at SoFi Stadium, Buffalo had 445 to push the Rams down to 26th in total defense entering Monday. The Rams' offensive line has struggled mightily at times this season, but it allowed no sacks and just three hits on Stafford while clearing the way for 137 yards rushing. With full health, the line is no longer a liability. Edge rusher Byron Young had a rough outing that included two penalties on Buffalo's first drive — an egregious late hit on Allen and a defensive offside that negated a 2-yard Bills loss on second down from the LA 1. The Rams' overall defensive discipline was repeatedly poor, and it cost them. CB Cobie Durant has a bruised lung, McVay revealed Monday. The Rams are uncertain whether it will prevent him from playing Thursday. Durant has started all 13 games this season. ... WR Demarcus Robinson sprained his shoulder against Buffalo, but kept playing. 1 — The numbers of NFL games played with two teams scoring at least 40 points and making no turnovers. The Rams and Bills made history. The 49ers haven't been this vulnerable in four years, but Kyle Shanahan has had McVay's number throughout their careers — notwithstanding the Rams' 27-24 comeback win in September when both teams' top offensive playmakers were all injured.

When he last Thursday calling for another general election, he felt he would be “chuffed” if it attracted 2,000 signatures. It has since racked up well over two million, and counting. His motivation? The sense he harbours, and believes others share, that “we were lied to by [Prime Minister Sir Keir] Starmer and his cronies to get into power.” His petition phrases it slightly more diplomatically. “I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead-up to the last election,” it reads. Four days after the petition went live on the UK Parliament website, the West Midlands small business owner can hardly find time to get his work done amid all the interest in his attempt to hurry democracy along. So what lies does he think the British public has been told? “Mainly [Starmer] promised growth, promised money for certain sectors, none of which has come to fruition at all.” It was the recent , in which Labour announced a significant rise in public spending, financed by tax rises and higher borrowing, that prompted him to act. “With the Budget increasing the minimum wage, increasing [employers’] National Insurance contributions, the knock-on effect is there are going to be a lot of redundancies next year across the UK,” he predicts. “Companies across the UK are going to go, ‘where are we going to find that extra bit of meat on the bones to pay for it?’” Westwood, 40, has three pubs in the West Midlands and supplies beers, wine and spirits to the drinks industry via his wholesale firm, The Jinja Beer Company. He voted Conservative on July 4 (“because better the devil you know”), but is not a self-avowed tribal voter. He was not expecting support for his petition to snowball in the way it has. Even Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X (formerly Twitter) – who is – appears to back it. “The people of Britain have had enough of a tyrannical police state,” he declared on X on Sunday, with characteristic hyperbole. Whether the petition’s two million signatories are indeed all “people of Britain” is unclear. To sign the petition, you need only tick a box to confirm you are a British citizen or UK resident, provide a name, email address and postcode. It is also worth noting that at this year’s general election, which delivered a Labour landslide, about 19 million people voted for other parties. Some 9.7 million voted Labour. And the 2.3 million who had supported Westwood’s call for a re-run by late Monday afternoon still paled in comparison to the total of 6.1 million who signed a petition to revoke Article 50 and remain in the European Union in 2019. “You cannot seriously read public sentiment off the back of a petition,” cautions polling guru Professor Sir John Curtice. Still, recent research points to unrest among even Labour voters. By early October, almost half were already , according to YouGov polling. Six in 10 Britons disapproved of the party’s record so far, while only three in 10 Labour voters felt it had done as well as they had hoped. A snap YouGov poll after the Budget found only 20 per cent of the public believed it would leave the country better off, compared to 38 per cent who thought it would make things worse. A quarter said they expected it would make no difference. None of which makes for reassuring reading for Labour, whose honeymoon seemed to end almost as soon as the plane left the runway. But perhaps this wasn’t surprising, given the relative lack of excitement surrounding the party’s return to power under Starmer. “It wasn’t like 1997, where Labour was voted in on a wave of massive enthusiasm,” says James Frayne, founding partner at Public First, a policy research agency. “This was very different.” Unlike in the heady Britpop era, there were few celebrities bestowing their blessing on a fresh-faced new Labour leader this summer; no 2020s’ version of Cool Britannia. Among the party’s supporters, the overriding emotion was relief more than euphoria. And among the floating voters who helped Labour to victory, a sense of profound weariness was tempered by a timid hope that surely Starmer’s administration couldn’t do any worse than the previous gruelling years of Conservative chaos. “[People’s] hope was there would be change of sorts,” says Frayne. “There was some optimism born of a belief that the last Tory government was uniquely and historically incompetent...and that once we got rid of that lot, things would inherently be better.” Labour encouraged this idea, he says. Their manifesto was simply called “Change”, speaking to the very real desire among the public to see the back of the Tories after 14 years. But change had to come quickly and decisively to satisfy a restive electorate – more quickly than was perhaps ever going to be feasible. Not least when Labour has, as Frayne points out, inherited the same set of challenges the Tories were grappling with: lack of growth, a struggling NHS, a broken border control system, and so on. “Unsurprisingly, they’re finding it very difficult to make headway,” he says. Westwood’s complaint that Labour has not created growth after less than five months in office hints at how little time voters are willing to give politicians to turn things around. That so many seem to agree with him (“it’s astronomical,” says Frayne of the petition’s support) arguably speaks of something else, too: a broader lack of trust in politics itself. The 41st British Social Attitudes report, based on data collected in Autumn 2023 and published in June this year by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), found trust and confidence in Britain’s system of government had hit a record low. Some 45 per cent of the public said they “almost never” trust governments of any party to place the needs of the nation above the interests of their own political party. This was 22 points above the figure recorded in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. The report noted a sharp rise in disenchantment among those who had voted to leave the EU. Sir John agrees trust did indeed decline after failed to deliver what many of its supporters seemingly hoped it would. But the roots of this public disenchantment stretch back much further, he believes. “It’s quite a long story,” he says. “It really starts with [Conservative prime minister Sir] John Major and the whole sleaze story.” If the hope was that the sleaze associated with the ruling Tories in the Nineties would be swept away in the New Labour revolution, ushering in a new era of trust in politicians, it didn’t last. Six years later, the Iraq War disillusioned large swathes of the Labour faithful. The MPs expenses’ scandal, exposed by in 2009, only compounded the damage to public trust in politicians. According to Sir John, it did largely recover in subsequent years – only to decline again around the time of the Brexit impasse (when the Conservatives struggled to get a deal through Parliament and, critics argue, deliver on the results of the referendum). “With the delivery of Brexit, it went [back] up,” he says. The perceived failure of Brexit to deliver the promised benefits is not the only cause of the more recent fall in confidence, reflected in NatCen’s social attitudes report. “Generally people were disillusioned because they had lost trust in government [after] the way the pandemic was managed, but also partygate, and then with Liz Truss and [her mini-] budget and a lot of the ways the Conservatives were running things,” says Katie Crabb from NatCen. The success of smaller parties, such as and the Greens (who won five and four seats respectively at the general election), reflects the mood of a public increasingly unwilling to keep giving mainstream parties another chance. Unless Starmer can create a compelling narrative and restore trust during this parliament, we could be facing a changed political landscape next time around, experts believe. “We found...before the election that people thought, ‘I’m going to vote Labour but it’s going to be my last throw of the dice with mainstream politics,’” says Frayne. “[There was] this sense that ‘we’ll give this lot a go, but if it doesn’t work out I don’t know who I’m going to vote for next time.’ So you can imagine an uptick for Reform and independent [candidates in the future]. You can imagine politics going in a very different direction now.” Back in the West Midlands, Westwood is realistic about what his petition might achieve. “I don’t expect there to be a general election off the back of it,” he says. But he hopes it will at least “give people a voice and a chance to express something”. Starmer, unsurprisingly, has ruled out an election re-run. Yet he and the other leaders of mainstream parties in Westminster may wish to heed one common refrain that Westwood now repeats: that politicians of all stripes have lost touch with the man on the street.Germany is to vote in an early election on February 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalise the country’s stagnant economy. Mr Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag – a sister publication of Politico owned by the Axel Springer Group – published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month that he has supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD. “The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the last spark of hope for this country,” he wrote in his translated commentary. He went on to say that the far-right party “can lead the country into a future where economic prosperity, cultural integrity and technological innovation are not just wishes, but reality”. The Tesla Motors chief executive also wrote that his investment in Germany gives him the right to comment on the country’s condition. The AfD is polling strongly, but its candidate for the top job, Alice Weidel, has no realistic chance of becoming chancellor because other parties refuse to work with the far-right party. Billionaire Mr Musk, an ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, challenged in his opinion piece the party’s public image. “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Mr Musk’s commentary has led to a debate in German media over the boundaries of free speech, with the paper’s own opinion editor announcing her resignation, pointedly on Mr Musk’s social media platform, X. Eva Marie Kogel wrote: “I always enjoyed leading the opinion section of WELT and WAMS. Today an article by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. I handed in my resignation yesterday after it went to print.” A critical article by the future editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Jan Philipp Burgard, accompanied Mr Musk’s opinion piece. “Musk’s diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally wrong,” he wrote. Responding to a request for comment from the German Press Agency, dpa, the current editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Ulf Poschardt, and Mr Burgard – who is due to take over on January 1 – said in a joint statement that the discussion over Mr Musk’s piece was “very insightful. Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression.” “This will continue to determine the compass of the ‘world’ in the future. We will develop ‘Die Welt’ even more decisively as a forum for such debates,” they wrote to dpa.

For further information contact: Mr. Mark F Smith Diamcor Mining Inc MarkS@Diamcor.com +1 250 862-3212 About Diamcor Mining Inc. Diamcor Mining Inc. is a fully reporting publicly traded Canadian diamond mining company with a well-established proven history in the mining, exploration, and sale of rough diamonds. The Company's primary focus is on the mining and development of its Krone-Endora at Venetia Project which is co-located and directly adjacent to De Beers' Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. The Venetia diamond mine is recognized as one of the world's top diamond-producing mines, and the deposits which occur on Krone-Endora have been identified as being the result of shift and subsequent erosion of an estimated 50M tonnes of material from the higher grounds of Venetia to the lower surrounding areas in the direction of Krone and Endora. Tiffany & Co. Canada, a subsidiary of New York based Tiffany & Co., provided Diamcor with loans totalling CAD $9.5M in support the advancement of the Company's Krone-Endora at Venetia Project, and in doing so retained a first right of refusal to purchase up to 100% of the future production of rough diamonds (up to 10.8 carats in size) from the Krone-Endora at Venetia project at then market prices. Diamcor also focuses on the acquisition and development of mid-tier projects with near-term production capabilities and growth potential and uses unique approaches to mining that involves the use of advanced technology and techniques to extract diamonds in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner. The Company has a strong commitment to social responsibility, including the support of local people, communities, and the environment. About Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co., founded in New York City in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany, is a global luxury jeweler synonymous with elegance, innovative design, fine craftmanship and creative excellence. With more than 300 retail stores worldwide and a workforce of more than 13,000 employees, Tiffany & Co. and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and market jewelry, watches and luxury accessories. Nearly 5,000 skilled artisans cut Tiffany diamonds and craft jewelry in the Company's own workshops, realizing the brand's commitment to superlative quality. Tiffany & Co. has a long-standing commitment to conducting its business responsibly, sustaining the natural environment, prioritizing diversity, and inclusion, and positively impacting the communities in which it operates. To learn more about Tiffany & Co. and its commitment to sustainability, please visit www.tiffany.com . About the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project Diamcor acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project from De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, consisting of the prospecting rights over the farms Krone 104 and Endora 66, which represent a combined surface area of approximately 5,888 hectares directly adjacent to De Beers' flagship Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. The Company subsequently announced that the South African Department of Mineral Resources had granted a Mining Right for the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project encompassing 657.71 hectares of the Project's total area of 5,888 hectares. The Company has also submitted an application for a mining right over the remaining areas of the Project. The deposits which occur on the properties of Krone and Endora have been identified as a higher-grade "Alluvial" basal deposit which is covered by a lower-grade upper "Eluvial" deposit. These deposits are proposed to be the result of the direct-shift (in respect to the "Eluvial" deposit) and erosion (in respect to the "Alluvial" deposit) of an estimated 1,000 vertical meters of material from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia Kimberlite areas. The deposits on Krone-Endora occur with a maximum total depth of approximately 15.0 metres from surface to bedrock, allowing for a very low-cost mining operation to be employed with the potential for near-term diamond production from a known high-quality source. Krone-Endora also benefits from the significant development of infrastructure and services already in place due to its location directly adjacent to the Venetia Mine, which is widely recognised as the largest diamond mine in South Africa, and one of the most prolific diamond mines in the world.
