Questions about who should be allowed to compete in school sports in New Hampshire played out before a federal judge and the body that sets eligibility rules last week. But none of those conversations clarified eligibility rules for one group of students: transgender girls. And that’s causing confusion and uncertainty for school districts. At issue is a 2024 state law that prohibits those students from playing on girls sports teams. In August, a federal judge temporarily set aside the law — but only as it applies to the Pembroke and Plymouth school districts, where students challenged it. School leaders elsewhere in New Hampshire have been asking for clarity on how that law applies to them ever since. Meanwhile, members of the N.H. Interscholastic Athletic Association met in Concord Friday to discuss eligibility rules for other issues, including scrimmages with prep schools and out-of-season competitions. Eligibility of transgender girls was not on the agenda. And it was unclear if the topic came up, because the group began its meeting before the posted start time. Still, the meeting drew protesters who objected to the inclusion of transgender girls in girls sports. Among them was Rachel Goldsmith, chairperson of the Hillsborough County chapter of Moms for Liberty. She said her concerns are two-fold. Goldsmith does not believe girls’ sports teams should include transgender girls. And she wants more transparency from the NHIAA, which sets rules and eligibility recommendations for school sports. The association’s website does not list its committee members or include meeting minutes or decisions. Nor does it make the association make agendas available to the public prior to meetings. And while the website said the eligibility committee was meeting at 9 a.m., the meeting was underway, behind a locked door, when an NHPR reporter was allowed in at 9 a.m. Executive Director Jeffrey Collins did not return messages. The association’s current eligibility policy says it is “committed to providing transgender student-athletes with equal opportunities to participate in NHIAA athletic programs consistent with their gender identity.” The policy leaves the determination of a student’s gender up to the school district. That has done little to resolve the confusion that followed after the federal court temporarily stopped the law from being enforced in the Plymouth and Pembroke districts. Judge Landya McCafferty concluded the students who sued are likely to prevail in their argument that a law that targets transgender girls is unconstitutional. Further confusion for school leaders followed when New Hampshire Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut advised districts to enforce the new law, saying the court ruling was limited to schools in the Pembroke and Plymouth districts. Chris Erchull, a staff attorney at GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders who represents the students who challenged the law, asked the court Thursday to extend that ruling to all districts. The judge indicated a decision likely won’t be determined before the next school year. “There’s lots of confusion right now among the school districts and our position has remained the same,” Erchull said after the hearing. “Federal law requires providing equal opportunities to transgender students and treating them on the same terms and conditions as other students. So there’s no question ... I mean, school boards are in a difficult position for sure.” Erchull encouraged districts to adopt “permissive” policies. “And, if there is any transgender student who is being denied access to school sports, I want to hear from them because we could potentially file additional litigation,” he said. Michael Garrity, spokesperson for the N.H. Attorney General’s Office, said his agency disagrees and believes the law is constitutional and should be applied across the state. The state’s attorneys are challenging Erchull’s request to extend McCafferty’s order to all transgender girl athletes in the state. “Our office will continue to defend the law, which ensures fairness in sports and protects the integrity of women’s athletics,” Garrity wrote in an email.
NoneSigning with Dodgers was really easy decision for 2-time Cy Young winner Blake SnellResults of a non-binding vote on the proposed Grassy Mountain coal mine in Crowsnest Pass were announced Monday, with more than 71 per cent of voters supporting the project. About 54 per cent of eligible voters participated in the plebiscite, which was held to gauge community sentiment specifically on metallurgical coal mining by Northback Holdings Corp. The ballot posed the question, “Do you support the development and operations of the metallurgical coal mine at Grassy Mountain?” An advance poll was conducted on Nov. 19, followed by the primary voting day on Monday. The results showed 71.7 per cent of voters in favour of the project, while 28.3 per cent opposed it. Crowsnest Pass Mayor Blair Painter expressed satisfaction with the strong voter turnout and called the result a “real strong message” from the community. “I’m very pleased that we had over 53 per cent of the eligible voters turn out to vote on this subject,” Painter told Shootin’ the Breeze. “This sends a very strong message to our council that our community is in favour of ethical metallurgical coal mining in our area.” Painter emphasized the importance of understanding community preferences regarding a project that could affect housing, infrastructure and employment in the region. “We are the community that this mine primarily will draw from. Therefore, it is important that we need to know where our community stands and they have told us,” he said. However, he acknowledged that the municipal council’s role is limited to advocacy and that the ultimate decision on the proposed mine is not in their hands. “We are not the decision-maker on this project; we are only one of the stakeholders,” he noted, adding that council will move forward and continue to advocate. The Grassy Mountain coal mine project has been the subject of significant debate. On Sept. 10, Crowsnest Pass council passed a motion to conduct a non-binding vote, seeking input from residents on their support for the development and operations of the proposed mine. Since then, a long-standing debate has grown heated at times regarding the consequences of mining. Supporters have cited its potential to drive economic growth and create jobs, while critics have voiced concerns over environmental risks, such as selenium contamination and air quality issues due to dust generation. Painter acknowledged these concerns, stating, “Clean water is very important. We get that. Now you must also remember that the area of this mine site, Grassy Mountain, is not pristine mountaintops. It’s previously mined land with no reclamation.” He added that mining operations have made strides in addressing environmental concerns, citing global investments in clean-water technology by other mining companies. “Our mining neighbours to the west of us, Glencore, is spending billions of dollars on clean water technology. They are leaders globally in clean water,” he said. The mayor clarified that council’s next steps would involve internal deliberations, with no influence over the regulatory process or the mining company’s decisions. “We cannot control what they are going to do. They’re bound by the rules and regulations of our country. We cannot influence that,” he said. Northback Holdings, the company behind the Grassy Mountain project, welcomed the vote’s outcome, calling it a step forward for “responsible resource development.” In a statement issued on social media, the company expressed gratitude for the community’s support and reiterated its commitment to balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship. “Exciting news from Crowsnest Pass! Residents have voted in favour of the Grassy Mountain project! Thank you for your overwhelming support for responsible resource development and economic growth,” the company said. “Together, we’re creating well-paying jobs and a brighter future for the region. At Northback, we are committed to modern mining practices that protect the environment while revitalizing the local economy. Let’s move forward together!” Northback representatives were unavailable to comment on the voting results.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea's embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol avoided an opposition-led attempt to impeach him over his short-lived imposition of martial law , as most ruling party lawmakers boycotted a parliamentary vote Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. The scrapping of the motion is expected to intensify protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party, but the party is also determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals. After the motion fell through, members of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party rallied inside the National Assembly, chanting slogans calling for Yoon's impeachment or resignation. The party's floor leader, Park Chan-dae, said it will soon prepare for a new impeachment motion. Opposition parties could submit a new impeachment motion after a new parliamentary session opens next Wednesday. “We'll surely impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, who is the greatest risk to Republic of Korea,” party leader Lee Jae-myung said. “We'll surely bring back this country to normal before Christmas Day or year's end.” Many experts worry Yoon won’t be able to serve out his remaining 2 1/2 years in office. They say some PPP lawmakers could eventually join opposition parties’ efforts to impeach Yoon if public demands for it grow further. The ruling party risks "further public outrage and national confusion if they don’t find a formula fast for Yoon’s departure,” said Duyeon Kim, a senior analyst at the Center for a New American Security in Washington. PPP chair Han Dong-hun said his party will seek Yoon’s “orderly” early exit but didn’t say when he can resign. Protests against Yoon are swelling On Saturday, tens of thousands of people packed several blocks of roads leading to the National Assembly, waving banners, shouting slogans and dancing. Protesters also gathered in front of PPP’s headquarters near the Assembly, shouting for its lawmakers to vote to impeach Yoon. A smaller crowd of Yoon’s supporters, which still seemed to be in the thousands, rallied elsewhere in Seoul, calling the impeachment attempt unconstitutional. Impeaching Yoon required support from 200 of the National Assembly's 300 members. The Democratic Party and five other small opposition parties, which filed the motion, have 192 seats combined. But only three lawmakers from PPP participated in the vote. The motion was scrapped without ballot counting because the number of votes didn’t reach 200. National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik called the result “very regrettable” and an embarrassing moment for the country’s democracy. If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office. If he is removed, an election to replace him must take place within 60 days. The president apologizes for turmoil Earlier Saturday, Yoon issued an apology over the martial law decree, saying he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promising not to make another attempt to impose it. He said would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.” “The declaration of this martial law was made out of my desperation. But in the course of its implementation, it caused anxiety and inconveniences to the public. I feel very sorry over that and truly apologize to the people who must have been shocked a lot,” Yoon said. Since taking office in 2022, Yoon has struggled to push his agenda through an opposition-controlled parliament and grappled with low approval ratings amid scandals involving himself and his wife. In his martial law announcement on Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a “den of criminals” bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate “shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces.” The declaration of martial law was the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea. The turmoil has paralyzed South Korean politics and sparked alarm among key diplomatic partners like the U.S. and Japan. “Yoon’s credibility overseas has been undermined by declaring martial law, so he won’t be able to exercise leadership in his foreign policies especially when his days are numbered,” Kim, the analyst, said. “Its government bureaucracy will need to continue business as usual for existing alliance and foreign policy initiatives as best it can because there is a lot of important work to do globally.” Tuesday night saw special forces troops encircling the parliament building and army helicopters hovering over it, but the military withdrew after the National Assembly unanimously voted to overturn the decree, forcing Yoon to lift it before daybreak Wednesday. Eighteen lawmakers from the ruling party voted to reject Yoon’s martial law decree along with opposition lawmakers. PPP later decided to oppose Yoon's impeachment motion. Yoon’s speech fueled speculation that he and his party may push for a constitutional amendment to shorten his term, instead of accepting impeachment, as a way to ease public anger over the marital law and facilitate Yoon’s early exit from office. Lee told reporters that Yoon’s speech was “greatly disappointing” and that the only way forward is his immediate resignation or impeachment. His party called Yoon’s martial law “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or coup.” Lawmakers on Saturday first voted on a bill appointing a special prosecutor to investigate stock price manipulation allegations surrounding Yoon’s wife. Yoon accused of ordering arrests of politicians On Friday, Han, who criticized Yoon’s martial law declaration, said he had received intelligence that during the brief period of martial law Yoon ordered the country’s defense counterintelligence commander to arrest unspecified key politicians based on accusations of “anti-state activities.” Hong Jang-won, first deputy director of South Korea’s spy agency, told lawmakers Friday that Yoon had ordered him to help the defense counterintelligence unit to detain key politicians including Han, Lee and Woo. The Defense Ministry said Friday it suspended three military commanders including the head of the defense counterintelligence unit over their involvement in enforcing martial law. Vice Defense Minister Kim Seon Ho has told parliament that Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun ordered the deployment of troops to the National Assembly. Opposition parties accused Kim of recommending to Yoon to enforce martial law. Kim Yong Hyun resigned Thursday, and prosecutors imposed an overseas travel ban on him.

The Huawei Mate 70 series has experienced a strong start following its official debut last week. This new flagship lineup consists of four models: the , . A few days after the launch, the company began accepting pre-orders, and the demand has been impressive. Huawei’s CEO, He Gang, disclosed that the series has accumulated over 6.7 million reservations in China. These figures stem from non-binding sign-ups, as customers do not need to pay to reserve a unit. While the excitement is not as intense as last year’s , the level of interest remains significant. However, while the surging demand is a good thing for the company, it is facing mounting supply due to the high demand. Reports suggest the firm is pushing its limits to meet initial orders, yet a shortfall in early stock seems likely. The Kirin 9020 chipset at the core of the Mate 70 series may pose the largest hurdle. The Huawei Mate 70 series uses a domestic chip, designed to work without US parts and it has eight CPU cores and 12 threads. Its clock speed peaks at 2.5 GHz for one core, 2.15 GHz for three others, and 1.6 GHz for four more while the GPU works at 840 MHz. Though not on par with top-tier 3nm chips from global firms, it is a step up from the Kirin 9010, offering a 30% boost. Huawei’s pricing covers a broad spectrum, beginning at CNY5,499 for the Mate 70. The Pro model is priced at CNY 6,499 ($892), while the Pro+ starts at CNY 8,499 ($1,169). At the premium end, the RS Ultimate commands a remarkable starting price of CNY 11,999 ($1,650). The initial buzz surrounding the Mate 70 could significantly influence Huawei’s performance throughout the year. However, the company’s supply chain will need to rapidly expand to meet the growing demand. The Kirin 9020 represents a significant technological advancement for Huawei but might also present potential challenges in production. Ultimately, the success of the Mate 70 series will depend on Huawei’s ability to fulfil demand efficiently. The company’s response to this challenge could determine its future success in an increasingly competitive market.Hochul reverses call to cut funding to shrinking NY schools as she faces potentially tough re-election bid

Nika Novak was arrested in December 2023 on accusations of “preparing inaccurate materials” to discredit the Russian armed forces. The FSB security service said that Novak’s work was "aimed at causing reputational damage” to Russia and an attempt to destabilize the country and its war in Ukraine, according to the Interfax news agency. The court, which is in the Siberian region of Zabaykalsky Krai, did not say which foreign media outlet Novak is accused of working for. Novak worked previously for the Russian news websites Chita and Zab.ru, and had been a freelance reporter at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty or RFE/RL. A sister network to VOA, RFE/RL is an independent U.S.-funded media outlet. Moscow designates RFE/RL a so-called foreign agent. RFE/RL President Stephen Capus on Tuesday condemned the sentence handed to Novak. “These politically motivated charges are intended to silence individual reporters and cause a chilling effect. We call for Nika's immediate release to her family,” Capus said in a statement shared with VOA. Russia has ramped up its arrests and harassment of independent journalists since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Shortly after, the government issued directives on how media could report the war, and legislators enacted a law to penalize anyone authorities deemed to be spreading false news or information that could discredit the military. Russian authorities have also issued several arrest warrants in absentia. In October, authorities ordered the arrest in absentia of a CNN correspondent who had reported from Russia’s Kursk region as Ukraine forces made advances. The Memorial human rights group described Novak as a "political prisoner." It added that the journalist appeared to “hold anti-Ukrainian views," based on social media posts, but had criticized local authorities for supporting the offensive, according to AFP. The Coalition for Women in Journalism has also condemned Novak’s detention. In a statement at the time of her arrest, the group said, “The Kremlin is continuously abusing legislation to target journalists and activists. This must stop.” “The serious charges and lengthy prison term facing Novak are deeply worrying,” the statement said, adding that the coalition called on Russia to drop the charges and release the journalist.
