No. 9 SMU aims to improve playoff odds vs. Cal
The count is well and truly underway with TDs being elected across the country . Here are six things we learned on the first day of counting for Election 2024 . 1. Green wipeout The Green Party has had a catastrophic day at the polls and are potentially facing a total wipeout, as some of its most high-profile TDs face the fights of their political careers. Roderic O’Gorman, the Green leader, is currently in fifth place in the five-seat Dublin West, with transfers from other left-wing candidates likely to decide his fate. Catherine Martin in Dublin Rathdown will be fighting for the final seat in her constituency after she topped the poll in 2020. LIVE: GE24 updates Scroll for live results in your area Cork East Cork North Central Cork North West Cork South Central Cork South West Kerry Clare Limerick City Limerick County Tipperary North Tipperary South Waterford Dublin Bay North Dublin Bay South Dublin Central Dublin Fingal East Dublin Fingal West Dublin Mid West Dublin North West Dublin Rathdown Dublin South Central Dublin South West Dublin West Dun Laoghaire Carlow/Kilkenny Kildare North Kildare South Laois Longford/Westmeath Louth Meath East Meath West Offaly Wexford Wicklow Wicklow/Wexford Cavan/Monaghan Donegal Galway East Galway West Mayo Roscommon/Galway Sligo/Leitrim Other key Greens, like Joe O’Brien in Dublin Fingal West, have already been eliminated and more will follow in the hours ahead. It isn’t the first time the party has been wiped out, but it will be a very difficult pill to swallow for party activists across the country. 2. Labour and Social Democrat surge Both the Labour Party and Social Democrats are on track to enter the double digits of Dáil seats after performing well across the country. Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns, who gave birth to a baby girl on polling day , will likely retain her seat in Cork South-West and the grouping is now hopeful of seeing between 10 and 13 TDs elected to Leinster House. Labour's Ivana Bacik is in a similar position. With a likely outcome of at least 10 TDs, it sets her party up to enter serious coalition talks after all the votes are counted. 3. The Monk Dublin Central provided the story that most people will be talking about on Sunday — and possibly far beyond. Veteran criminal Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch is in a position to challenge for a seat in the constituency, having announced his candidacy just five weeks ago. Mr Hutch arrived at Dublin Airport earlier this month after being arrested in Spain last month as part of an international investigation into money laundering. He has reportedly been released on bail of €100,000. But that did not stop 3,098 voters from giving him a first preference, landing him fourth in the running. He is around 600 votes ahead of Labour's Marie Sherlock and is expected to grow that lead when anti-migrant campaigner Malachy Steenson is eliminated. Whether Ms Sherlock is able to attract a sizeable number of transfers from Fianna Fáil's Mary Fitzpatrick and the Greens' Neasa Hourigan will determine the destination of the final seat in the centre of the capital. 4. Sinn Féin say political landscape altered Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has said it is clear now that there is a strong appetite for change, and she will be speaking to others on the left after the votes are counted. Arriving at the RDS count centre added that she is going to “knuckle down now” and do everything she can to "to bring about change”. "Not so long ago, the old traditional establishment parties monopolised not just government but also opposition, that's changed now, and I think this election is confirmation of that," said Ms McDonald who topped the poll in Dublin Central. 5. Ministers in danger Elections can be cruel and this time around a number of high-profile candidates are in the danger zone. This includes Health Minister Stephen Donnelly who polled around 6% of first preference votes. In what has been a bad day for the Greens, party leader Roderic O'Gorman will be fighting it out to retain his seat in Dublin West. In Galway East, junior minister Anne Rabbitte has not polled as well as expected on 7.5% and could be taken out by her own party colleague councillor Albert Dolan. 6. Wedded to politics Every election, there are always stories of lost items making their way into ballot boxes, and general election 2024 is no different. In Donegal, one box from Scoil Eoghain in Moville had an errant wedding ring land into it, as a voter came to cast his vote. Local polling station staff ensured to warn the incoming count staff of the lost ring, with it tumbling out once counting kicked off early this morning. Local 100% Redress councillor, Ali Farren, managed to return the ring to its rightful owner, with a happy reunion after a few hours stuck under stacks of ballots.
No. 9 seed Tennessee will make its first visit to No. 8 Ohio State on Saturday (8 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN), but Volunteers safety Andre Turrentine will be in a familiar setting at Ohio Stadium for the first-round matchup of the College Football Playoff. He played in four games for the Buckeyes (10-2) as a freshman in 2021 before the Nashville native joined the Vols. "I know a lot of guys on that team, so just having that brotherhood and camaraderie from being a freshman there is going to be big in this game and big for me personally," said Turrentine, a redshirt junior. He has 35 tackles and one interception in starting all 12 games for the Vols (10-2) this season. Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles feels prepared for Tennessee's fast-paced offense, which averages 74.6 plays per game to rank 11th nationally. "Our defense is built for tempo," he said. --No. 7 Notre Dame (11-1) quarterback Riley Leonard loves the idea of playing for a national championship, but as he told Nicole Auerbach of NBC Sports, the matchup with the No. 10 Hoosiers (11-1) on Friday in South Bend, Ind., (8 p.m., ABC/ESPN) is also about regional pride. "It's huge for the state of Indiana. We've been talking about it becoming a football state," he said. "It's notorious for basketball, for obvious reasons." Indiana coach Curt Cignetti on how the game will play out: "I think we're plus-15 on turnover ratio, and they're plus-16. So, ball security for us and them is going to be really important -- winning the turnover battle." --Even though No. 6 Penn State (11-2) lost to No. 1 Oregon in the Big Ten Championship Game, the Nittany Lions were buoyed by running for 292 yards. Now, they host No. 11 SMU (11-2), which is ranked fourth nationally at 93.4 rushing yards allowed per game. "Our expectation is that that's what we're supposed to do every single game," Penn State center Nick Dawkins said. "I don't think it matters the opponent that we played against." SMU coach Rhett Lashlee on the perceived advantage Penn State will have with a forecast high of 28 degrees: "They have to play in it just like we do and I don't think they've played a game at home on Dec. 21, either. I don't think the weather is a big deal." --No. 5 Texas coach Steve Sarkisian expects big things from quarterback Quinn Ewers when the Longhorns (11-2) host No. 12 Clemson on Saturday (4 p.m., TNT/MAX). "We've all got to take our game to another level, and he's no different, right?" Sarkisian said. "He's got to do it." Actor Matthew McConaughey is a Longhorns super fan but that doesn't mean much to defensive lineman T.J. Parker of Clemson (10-3). "I don't know who that is," the sophomore said on Tuesday. "I may know his face, but not by name. I don't know him." --Field Level MediaMinnesota will try to bounce back from two straight losses when it hosts Bethune-Cookman on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. The Golden Gophers (5-3) are coming off a 57-51 loss against Wake Forest on Friday, which followed a 68-66 overtime loss against Wichita State on Thursday. Both games took place at the ESPN Events Invitational in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Minnesota coach Ben Johnson cited inconsistency on offense as the main reason for his team's recent skid. "We're painfully figuring that out," Johnson said. "I thought our defense, though, (Thursday and Friday) has proven this is a top-40 or top-30 defense. We've got to be able to show up with offense and free throws." Golden Gophers starter Lu'Cye Patterson said he and his teammates remain confident in their potential as the Big Ten conference season approaches. "We just have to keep doing what we're supposed to do and keep our level of defensive play up," Patterson said. "It's going to win us a lot of games. The offense is going to come." Bethune-Cookman (2-5) will try to play spoiler on the road. The Wildcats have split their past two games as they beat North Dakota 79-67 on Tuesday and lost to Gardner-Webb 79-64 on Wednesday, both games played in the Cancun Challenge in Cancun, Mexico. Four players for Bethune-Cookman scored in double digits in their most recent game. Reggie Ward Jr. and Daniel Rouzan led the way with 14 points apiece, Trey Thomas scored 13 and Brayon Freeman chipped in 10. Bethune-Cookman is coached by Reggie Theus, who enjoyed a long NBA career and coached the Sacramento Kings for parts of two seasons. Theus said the Wildcats were in better position to compete this season compared with a season ago. "We've got a lot of depth, and we have age and experience," Theus said. "One of the biggest differences in our team is that we have great size now, where last year we were pretty small." Dawson Garcia leads Minnesota with 18.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Patterson is next with 10.1 points per contest. Bethune-Cookman is led by Freeman, who is averaging 15.9 points per game. Thomas (11.7 points per game) and Ward Jr. (11.0) also are scoring in double digits. --Field Level Media
‘Society has a right to safety’: SC on 3 new laws
Nuclear sector pins hopes on 2026 for ‘low-carbon’ hydrogen label Nuclear energy advocates are pushing for the European Commission to label nuclear-derived hydrogen as ‘low-carbon’, but several industry sources told Euractiv that would prefer the decision is brought forward to 2026 instead of the scheduled 2028. In late September, the European Commission released for consultation a draft legal text, or ‘delegated act’, setting out criteria to determine whether hydrogen can be officially labeled as ‘low carbon’. This move drew the wrath of nuclear defenders, as the draft text proposed postponing a decision on whether hydrogen produced exclusively with nuclear energy can be eligible for the low-carbon label until 1 July 2028. Hydrogen produced exclusively with nuclear energy would entail a hydrogen producer signing a power purchase agreement, known as a ‘nuclear PPA’ with a nuclear energy provider. The nuclear industry wants a decision made much sooner. told The inclusion of nuclear PPAs would enhance predictability, mobilising private financing for new net zero technologies needed to meet EU climate goals,” a spokesperson for Fortum, the largest Finnish energy producer, In its response to the Commission’s public consultation, Fortum for an earlier recognition of nuclear PPA and said that the Commission should accelerate work by initiating a study in early 2025. Four corroborating sources from European industry and decision-makers suggest that the industry could be satisfied if the review date was brought forward from 2028 to early 2026. Industry sources argued that the move is necessary to meet Europe’s 2030 hydrogen production targets. “This would avoid delaying certain investment decisions in industrial projects requiring low-carbon hydrogen,” one source told Euractiv. In France, for example, Gravithy, which wants to produce ‘carbon-free’ iron, “expresses serious concerns about the proposal to postpone in [sic] 4 years the potential inclusion of nuclear PPAs,” it said in . With the text, “We can now say that Europe will be a long way from achieving its target of installing 40 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030,” French electrolyser producer McPhy argued in its . Antoine Bizet, Deputy Director of European Affairs at EDF, suggests that rather than waiting for the 2028 deadline, this period should be used to establish a so-called in Brussels ‘regulatory sandbox’, i.e. allowing experimenting with nuclear PPAs and then take stock of their contribution, he tells Euractiv. An energy industry source in Brussels argued that another approach would be for the EU Commission “to retain its approach for this delegated act, but to ensure that it comes back to (i.e. endorses) nuclear PPPs in 2025 or 2026, through another legislative vehicle such as a hydrogen strategy or the Clean Industrial Deal.” The text poses problems on other points, particularly regarding legal certainty, through the possibility given to the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition (DG COMP) of imposing additional criteria to qualify or not hydrogen is low-carbon to benefit from state aid. said Having completed the consultation process, the EU Commission will return to the delegated act as soon as the College of Commissioners is in place, according to Mechthild Wörsdörfer, Deputy Director-General of the European Commission’s energy services. Wörsdörfer was speaking the EU Hydrogen Week in Brussels on 19 November. This could happen as soon as 1 December, after the European Parliament’s expected vote of confidence on 27 November. Industry sources do not expect any announcements from the Commission before the beginning of 2025.

According to a trilateral statement signed on November 10 byPresident of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, President of Russia VladimirPutin and Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, the Lachindistrict was cleared of the armed forces of Armenia and returned toAzerbaijan on 1 December. Lachin was occupied by the armed forces of Armenia on May 18,1992. Armenian occupants destroyed and plundered hundreds ofcultural and household objects, dozens of settlements, villages andhistorical monuments in the region. As a result of the occupation, 63,341 Azerbaijani citizens wereexpelled from their homeland, more than 300 military personnel andcivilians were killed and disappeared without a trace. On theterritory of the district, 8950 buildings were occupied, including7 industrial and construction enterprises, 471 service points, 154schools, hundreds of historical and cultural monuments. The occupation of Lachin, which has an important geostrategicposition, caused serious damage to the economy of Azerbaijan.Lachin region, rich in natural resources, has healing springs suchas Turshsu, Galaderasi, Aganus, Khirmanlar, Tigig, Turshtigig,Nureddin, Nagdali, Hajihanli. According to the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, onthe territory of the Lachin district there are 3 mercury deposits(Narzanli, Chilgazchay, Saribulag) with total reserves of 1,124tons, Gochaz marble limestone, suitable for the production offacing stone, with reserves of 2,533 cubic meters, 2 tuffs(Agoglan, Ahmadli), suitable for the production of sawn stone, 2colored decorative stones, volcanic ash and other naturalresources. In addition, the Garagol State Nature Reserve and the StateNature Reserve are also located in the Lachin district, the reservewith a total area of 240 hectares has vegetation of 68 species and27 families. Rare species of fauna, such as roe deer, goat, wildboar, bear, blackbird, partridge, blackbird, inhabited theterritory of the State Reserve, created in November 1961 to protectand increase the number of animals and birds. During the survey ofthe reserve in 1989, 96 mountain goats (bezoar goats), 360 wildboars, 320 roe deer, 110 bears were recorded, as well as a largenumber of wolves, badgers, squirrels, pheasants and partridges. For 28 years, Armenia ignored the norms of international law andUN resolutions on the unconditional withdrawal of Armenian troopsfrom the occupied Azerbaijani lands. As a result of the counter-offensive operation launched onSeptember 27, the Azerbaijani army fulfilled the missionunfulfilled by the UN Security Council and restored historicaljustice, liberating our lands, which had been occupied for almost30 years Until November 9, 5 cities, 4 villages and 286 villages wereliberated from the occupation.

According to a trilateral statement signed by the leaders ofAzerbaijan, Armenia and Russia, Aghdam was returned to Azerbaijanon November 20, Kalbajar on November 25, and Lachin on December1.ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has vowed to take decisive action against “future instances of violent protests and disruptive sit-ins.” He underscored that the government would no longer tolerate activities that jeopardise the nation’s economy and stability. Addressing the federal cabinet on Wednesday, the prime minister emphasised a zero-tolerance policy toward those inciting violence. While refraining from explicitly naming Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), he implicitly criticised the party for orchestrating recent demonstrations in the federal capital, which caused widespread disruption. He insisted that such incidents necessitate a more stringent approach to prevent their recurrence. Sharif drew attention to the economic fallout as the protests took place. He spoke about how life in Islamabad and Rawalpindi was paralysed, leaving businesses shuttered and daily wage earners unable to make ends meet. “The turmoil disrupted supply chains, forced factory closures, and left patients in urgent need of medical care stranded due to blocked roads.” The prime minister also highlighted the broader economic ramifications, noting a sharp decline in the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSE), which plummeted by 4,000 points in a single day after reaching a record high of 99,000 points. “These agitators have become adversaries of Pakistan’s progress,” he stated. “Their actions repeatedly derail our economy. Stability fosters business growth and investment, and we must safeguard these principles at all costs.” Sharif also condemned the PTI for disruptive tactics, which he described as a harmful precedent in Pakistan’s political history, citing the 2014 sit-in; a 126-day-long protest that delayed the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping, stalling major projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He also referenced protests during key diplomatic events, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Islamabad, which alarmed foreign dignitaries and tarnished Pakistan’s global image. Even Saudi officials, the prime minister noted, expressed concerns about the instability stemming from political agitation. “This culture of chaos and anarchy is unacceptable,” Sharif said. “No responsible political party in our history has ever stooped to such levels. The PTI’s actions have damaged our international relationships and economic stability, for the sake of personal interests.” The prime minister extended gratitude to law enforcement agencies, including the Islamabad, Punjab, and Sindh police, as well as the Rangers, for their effective handling of recent protests. He singled out the Chief of Army Staff for his crucial support in maintaining order. While affirming the constitutional right to peaceful protest, Shehbaz Sharif stressed that no one has the right to disrupt public life or destroy national assets. He lauded the coordinated efforts of law enforcement agencies in dispersing violent demonstrators, restoring calm, and safeguarding citizens. However, he criticised the provincial government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) for neglecting its responsibilities. He accused the KP government of focusing on instigating violence in the federal capital rather than addressing rising insurgency and lawlessness in the province. “While the people of KP suffered from increasing insecurity, their government was busy orchestrating provocations against the federation,” he remarked. Sharif reiterated the need for exemplary punishment for individuals involved in violent incidents, including the May 9 riots. He argued that a lack of accountability emboldened perpetrators, leading to repeated disruptions. “If the culprits of the May 9 riots had faced appropriate punishment, we wouldn’t be witnessing this chaos today,” he said. “The cycle of unrest must end for Pakistan’s future.” Highlighting his government’s efforts to stabilise the economy, which he described as being on a path to recovery despite numerous challenges, Sharif credited the coalition government’s difficult yet necessary decisions for averting a potential default. “Inflation is easing, and we are seeing the fruits of bold, collaborative actions,” he noted, praising coalition partners for prioritising national interests over political considerations. “In the last eight months, we have made significant strides toward economic stabilisation. These achievements are the result of teamwork and determination, not miracles.” “It pains them to see the country stabilising and moving forward,” he added, alleging that the opposition was disheartened by Pakistan’s economic recovery. “It hurts them that Pakistan is stabilising and moving forward,” he said. The prime minister also criticised what he described as PTI’s self-serving political strategies, accusing its leadership of prioritising personal ambitions over national welfare. He claimed that the party’s actions had strained relations with friendly nations and tarnished Pakistan’s reputation. “This is not politics; it is chaos of the worst kind,” Sharif stated. “There is no place for such behavior in a civilised democracy.” He added that PTI’s leadership blatantly disregarded directives from the Islamabad High Court, undermining constitutional norms in their quest for power. In his concluding remarks, the prime minister declared his government’s commitment to ensuring such disruptions do not recur. He emphasised that the administration would take all necessary steps to uphold peace and stability, which are essential for Pakistan’s progress. “We will not allow the country’s stability to be jeopardised, not on our watch or anyone else’s,” he said. “The government’s priority is to focus on building a stronger, more resilient Pakistan, and we will take every step to safeguard this mission.” The prime minister assured the nation that his administration remains dedicated to fostering economic growth, strengthening international relations, and ensuring law and order.

THE Sun’s columnist Jane Moore last night told of her close friendship with Coleen Rooney — and how she dubbed the Wag “the Queen of Clean”. Jane was sent packing by the public in Friday’s first eviction from ITV1’s I’m A Celebrity. 3 Sun Columnist Jane was sent packing by the public in Friday’s first eviction from ITV1’s I’m A Celebrity Credit: Australia Media 3 Jane reveals all on her close friendship with Coleen Rooney, who she dubbed 'the Queen of Clean' Credit: Rex 3 Jane was met by daughter Grace after being evicted Credit: Rex But she revealed how she and Coleen unexpectedly bonded over the 15 days they were together in the jungle. Our columnist also spoke of her medical drama after finding a blood-sucking leech attached to one of her boobs. In an exclusive interview in Oz, hours after she left the jungle, Jane, 62, said of Coleen, 38: “We ended up being quite close and having a lot of good chats. “She loves cleaning. She is the Queen of Clean. We were saying she needs her own TV show — Clean With Coleen . . . whatever play on words you can come up with. She’s a real grafter.

She said: “I have suggested to her that she would make a very good Loose Woman. I said, ‘No pressure, but you could come on with me and GK (Barry) and Christine Lampard and I think you’d have a fantastic time, and I think you’d be very good.’ “I said, ‘So I’m just going to leave that with you.’ She just sort of nodded and smiled, so we’ll see.” Most read in I’m A Celebrity 2024 lovebirds I’m a Celeb’s GK Barry sends sweet message to girlfriend Ella Rutherford THAT'S AMOORE Jane Moore returns to I'm A Celeb hotel and reunites with Ruth Langsford AND SPAT'S THAT Jane Moore breaks silence on 'Washing-up-gate' and spat with Barry McGuigan MOORE TO IT! Jane Moore reveals verdict on I'm A Celeb cast including star's secret battle Before Jane was axed, campmates spoke emotionally about their jungle experience and their fellow celebs. Coleen, wife of football legend Wayne Rooney, said Jane “scared” her when they met at the start of the series — because she is a journalist. Jane Moore reveals verdict on I'm A Celeb cast including star's secret battle But in a heartwarming moment, she added: “I feel like we’ve bonded more and more as time’s gone on.” Jane said she “totally gets” why Coleen was “nervous to be in the jungle for 15 days, 24/7 with a journalist”. She said she was “very mindful” of it — so much so that she opted not to choose Coleen as her partner for the race into camp on the launch show. But their friendship eventually began to develop in camp and they formed a connection. Ironically, despite trepidation towards journalists, Coleen told Jane she actually fancied it as a career at one point. Jane said: “I said to her, ‘What would you have done if you hadn’t ended up marrying Wayne?’ “And she said, ‘I think I would’ve liked to have been a journalist.’ “I said to her, ‘You would have made a very, very good journalist’ — because she has great observational skills. I liked her enormously, and I think, as she said at the very end, she bonded with me Jane Moore “She sits back, she watches everybody, and every so often she’ll chip in with something and it’s a really good point. “So I liked her enormously, and I think, as she said at the very end, she bonded with me. “There’s something that we had, weirdly, as probably the two people in camp that had the most to play for.” Asked if they will remain pals when the celebs go their separate ways, Jane added: “I hope so, but I think I’m going to leave that ball in her court.” Jane had been left angry last week after being put on washing up duty, the task she hates most. She jokingly accused boxer Barry McGuigan and McFly singer Danny Jones of being “sexist” for giving her the chore — despite her pleading for them not to. Jane had already spent nine days cleaning out the dunny and was annoyed with the new camp leaders. She also revealed she’d been battered with bruises she doesn’t know the cause of. But the culprit of one injury she sustained was clear — two marks on her breast after being latched on to by a leech in the night. She’d noticed her bra was blood-soaked after a freezing cold camp shower. Jane said: “It honestly looked like it had been shot in the chest. “I had two puncture marks and then it started to bruise. But I just went, ‘Oh, look, everyone, I’ve been breastfeeding a leech all night’. 'Absolutely delightful' “And they all went, ‘How are you so calm?’ So I said, ‘Well, it’s dead now and it’s done, so there’s no point fretting about it. Anyway, it’s on the fire now. Little bugger.” After being evicted, she had an emotional reunion with daughters Grace, 20, and Ellie, 32, before heading off to enjoy her first hot shower in weeks. She then cracked a bottle of champagne and her blonde hair had its bounce back after a blow-dry from Danny’s mum, Kathy. She heaped praise on Danny — who she described as “absolutely delightful” - and the rest of her campmates. Barry, she said, is a “fighter from the top of his head to the tip of his toes”. And she insisted screaming Dean McCullough definitely acts “himself” and is an “absolute powerhouse of positivity”.

OTI SHE is a fabulous woman. The first week she was switched on the whole time. But week two was different. She wants more children and said: “If I don’t do it [the show] now, I probably won’t." DANNY I THINK he’s going to take a lot out of being in the jungle. He said: “I need to be in the moment more with my family and just in life.” He added: ‘I’m always working and fretting about work.’” G.K. BARRY SHE has absolutely no filter. She’s hilarious. But again, the first few days she was very GK Barry. Then there was this segue where she became Grace and had hilarious moments. ALAN HE is just so resourceful and practical. He’s a great guy and he’s a hard worker. He helped me a lot. When allowed he was there helping me lug the washing-up up and down steps. MAURA SHE’S hilarious and swears like a trooper. Maura is 100 per cent herself, which I really, really like. The guys doing the filming were laughing because she’s so funny. DEAN DEAN is an absolute powerhouse of positivity. He’s funny, he’s entertaining, he’s caring. But most of all, he is himself. In a quiet moment he said he got badly bullied at school.

This would not necessarily be notable under normal circumstances, but the English actor had already been cast to star opposite her in the erotic drama “Babygirl,” as the intern who initiates an affair with Kidman's buttoned-up CEO. They’d had a zoom with the writer-director Halina Reijn, who was excited by their playful banter and sure that Dickinson would hold his own. And yet when he found himself at the same event as Kidman, shyness took over. He admitted as much to Margaret Qualley, who took things into her own hands and introduced them. “She helped me break the ice a bit,” Dickinson said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. On set would be an entirely different story. Dickinson might not be nearly as “puckishly audacious” as his character Samuel but in the making of “Babygirl,” he, Kidman and Reijn had no choice but to dive fearlessly into this exploration of sexual power dynamics, going to intimate, awkward, exhilarating and meme-able places. It’s made the film, in theaters Christmas Day, one of the year’s must-sees. “There was an unspoken thing that we adhered to,” Dickinson said. “We weren’t getting to know each other’s personal lives. When we were working and we were the characters, we didn’t veer away from the material. I never tried to attach all of the history of Nicole Kidman. Otherwise it probably would have been a bit of a mess.” His is a performance that reconfirms what many in the film world have suspected since his debut seven years ago as a Brooklyn tough questioning his sexuality in Eliza Hittman’s “Beach Rats” : Dickinson is one of the most exciting young talents around. Dickinson, 28, grew up in Leytonstone, in East London — the same neck of the woods as Alfred Hitchcock. Cinema was in his life, whether it was Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” films at the local multiplex or venturing into town to see the more social realist films of Mike Leigh and Ken Loach. “Working class cinema interested me,” he said. “People around me that represented my world.” Appropriately, his entry into making art started behind the camera, with a comedy web series he made as a kid, which he now describes as “really bad spoofs” of films and shows of the time. But things started to really click when he began acting in the local theater. “I remember feeling invigorated by it and accepted,” he said. “I felt myself for the first time and felt able to express myself in a way where I didn’t feel vulnerable and I felt alive and ignited by something.” At around 17, someone suggested that he should give acting a try professionally. He hadn’t even fully understood that it was a career possibility, but he started auditioning. At 20, he was cast in “Beach Rats” and, he said, just “kept going.” Since then, he’s gotten a wide range of opportunities in films both big, including “The King’s Man,” and small. He’s captivated as a male model in Ruben Östlund’s Cannes-winning “Triangle of Sadness,” an estranged father to a 12-year-old in Charlotte Regan’s “Scrapper,” an actor bringing an ex-boyfriend to life in Joanna Hogg’s “The Souvenir Part II,” the charismatic, tragic wrestler David Von Erich in Sean Durkin’s “The Iron Claw” and a soldier in Steve McQueen’s “Blitz.” But “Babygirl” would present new challenges and opportunities with a character who’s almost impossible to define. “He was confusing in a really interesting way. There wasn’t loads of specificity to it, which I enjoyed because it was a bit of a challenge to sort of pinpoint exactly what it was that drove him and made him tick,” Dickinson said. “There was a directness that unlocked a lot for me, like a fearlessness with the way he spoke, or a social unawareness in a way — like not fully realizing what he’s saying is affecting someone in a certain way. But I didn’t make too many rules for him.” Part of the allure of the film is the ever-shifting power dynamics between the two characters, which could change over the course of a scene. As Reijn said, “It’s a cautionary tale about what happens when you suppress your own desires.” She was especially in awe of Dickinson's ability to make everything feel improvised and the fact that he could look like a 12-year-old boy in one shot and a confident 45-year-old man in the next. Since its premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year, the film has led to some surprisingly direct conversations with audiences spanning generations. But that, Dickinson understood, was what Reijn wanted. “She really wanted to show the ugliness and the awkwardness of these things, of these relationships and sex,” he said. “That sort of fumbly version and the performative version of it is way more interesting, to me at least, than the kind of fantasized, romanticized, sexy thing that we’ve seen a lot.” Dickinson recently stepped behind the camera again, directing his first feature film under the banner of his newly formed production company. Set against the backdrop of homelessness in London, “Dream Space” is about a drifter trying to assimilate and understand his cyclical behavior. The film, which wrapped earlier this year, has given him a heightened appreciation for just how many people are indispensable in the making of a film. He’s also started to understand that “acting is just being able to relax.” “When you’re relaxed, you can do stuff that is truthful,” he said. “That only happens if you’ve got good people around you: The director that creates the good environment. The intimacy coordinator facilitating a safe space. A coworker in Nicole encouraging that kind of bravery and performance with what she’s doing.” Dickinson did eventually get to the point where he managed to ask Kidman questions about working with Stanley Kubrick and Lars Von Trier. But he also kept one shattering possibility between himself and his director. “There is a world in which Samuel doesn’t even exist. He’s just a sort of a device or a figment for her own story. And I like that because it kind of means you can take the character into a very unrealistic realm at times and be almost like a deity in the story,” Dickinson said. “We didn’t talk about it with Nicole.” Lindsey Bahr, The Associated PressPOET Technologies Signs Manufacturing Agreement with Globetronics in Malaysia
Fall is the best time to think about cooking soup. Here’s 5 recipes you’ll want to tryStocks closed higher on Wall Street, giving the market its fifth gain in a row and notching another record high for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Friday. The Dow added 1%, and the Nasdaq composite tacked on 0.2%. Retailers had some of the biggest gains. Gap soared after reporting quarterly results that easily beat analysts’ estimates. EchoStar fell after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company’s Dish Network unit. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Crude oil prices gained ground. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks rose on Wall Street in afternoon trading Friday, keeping the market on track for its fifth straight gain. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% and was solidly on track for a weekly gain that will erase most of last week's loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 333 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite was essentially flat with a gain of less than 0.1% as of 3:07 p.m. Eastern. Markets have been volatile over the last few weeks, losing ground in the runup to elections in November, then surging following Donald Trump's victory, before falling again. The S&P 500 has been steadily rising throughout this week to within close range of its record. “Overall, market behavior has normalized following an intense few weeks,” said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, in a statement. Several retailers jumped after giving Wall Street encouraging financial updates. Gap soared 10.8% after handily beating analysts' third-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, while raising its own revenue forecast for the year. Discount retailer Ross Stores rose 1.5% after raising its earnings forecast for the year. EchoStar fell 2.4% after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. Smaller company stocks had some of the biggest gains. The Russell 2000 index rose 1.8%. A majority of stocks in the S&P 500 were gaining ground, but those gains were kept in check by slumps for several big technology companies. Nvidia fell 3.3%. Its pricey valuation makes it among the heaviest influences on whether the broader market gains or loses ground. The company has grown into a nearly $3.6 trillion behemoth because of demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Intuit, which makes TurboTax and other accounting software, fell 5.6%. It gave investors a quarterly earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Facebook owner Meta Platforms fell 0.8% following a decision by the Supreme Court to allow a multibillion-dollar class action investors’ lawsuit to proceed against the company. It stems from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Crude oil prices rose. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.41% from 4.42% late Thursday. In the crypto market, Bitcoin hovered around $99,000, according to CoinDesk. It has more than doubled this year and first surpassed the $99,000 level on Thursday. Retailers remained a big focus for investors this week amid close scrutiny on consumer spending habits headed into the holiday shopping season. Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, reported a quarter of strong sales and gave investors an encouraging financial forecast. Target, though, reported weaker earnings than analysts' expected and its forecast disappointed Wall Street. Consumer spending has fueled economic growth, despite a persistent squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. Inflation has been easing and the Federal Reserve has started trimming its benchmark interest rates. That is likely to help relieve pressure on consumers, but any major shift in spending could prompt the Fed to reassess its path ahead on interest rates. Also, any big reversals on the rate of inflation could curtail spending. Consumer sentiment remains strong, according to the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index. It revised its latest figure for November to 71.8 from an initial reading of 73 earlier this month, though economists expected a slight increase. It's still up from 70.5 in October. The survey also showed that consumers' inflation expectations for the year ahead fell slightly to 2.6%, which is the lowest reading since December of 2020. Wall Street will get another update on how consumers feel when the business group The Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence survey on Tuesday. A key inflation update will come on Wednesday when the U.S. releases its October personal consumption expenditures index. The PCE is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation and this will be the last PCE reading prior to the central bank's meeting in December. Damian J. Troise And Alex Veiga, The Associated Press
