Bob Dylan biopic is an immaculate portrayal of grumpy singer’s rise to fame – sadly the women are not rounded charactersNew Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday highlighted the impact of Indian diaspora in the Caribbean nation of Guyana and said that 'a Mini India' also exists in Guyana, where people of Indian origin have become leaders in politics, business, education, and culture. The remarks by PM Modi came during the 116th episode of 'Mann Ki Baat' and following his official state visit to Guyana. He said, "A 'Mini India' also exists in Guyana, thousands of kilometres away from India. About 180 years ago, people from India were taken to Guyana to work as labourers in the fields and for other work. Today, people of Indian origin in Guyana are leading Guyana in every field of politics, business, education and culture. The President of Guyana, Dr. Irfan Ali, is also of Indian origin and is proud of his Indian heritage." He added, "Like Guyana, there are millions of Indians in dozens of countries across the world. Their ancestors from decades past, 200-300 years ago, have their own stories..." PM Modi further spoke about a project in Oman and said that numerous Indian families who have lived in Oman for centuries are having their history preserved. With the support of the Indian Embassy in Oman and the National Archives of India, a team is working to safeguard the history of these families, collecting documents, with some dating back to 1838. "You will also find an extraordinary project going on in Oman. Numerous Indian families have been living in Oman for many centuries. Most of them who have settled there are from Kutch in Gujarat. These people had created important links of trade. With the support of the Indian Embassy in Oman and the National Archives of India, a team has started the work of preserving the history of these families," PM Modi said. He added, "Thousands of documents have been collected so far under this campaign. These include diaries, account books, ledgers, letters and telegrams. Some of these documents are also from the year 1838. These documents are full of emotions. When they arrived in Oman years ago, what kind of life they led, what kind of joys and sorrows they faced, and how their relations with the people of Oman progressed - all this is part of these documents." PM Modi also highlighted an effort in Slovakia aimed at preserving and promoting Indian culture and said that for the first time, the Upanishads, ancient Indian texts, have been translated into the Slovak language. He said, "I have come to know about another such effort being done in Slovakia which is related to preserving and promoting our culture. Here, for the first time, our Upanishads have been translated into the Slovak language. These efforts also show the global influence of Indian culture. It is a matter of pride for all of us that there are crores of people around the world who have India in their hearts." Notably, PM Modi was on an official visit to Guyana from November 20 to 22. He became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the nation in 56 years. India and Guyana signed 10 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the country, covering areas such as culture, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and the deployment of UPI in the Caribbean nation. During the visit, PM Modi and Guyana President Ali planted a sapling under the 'Ek Ped Ma Ke Naam' initiative. India also extended credit facilities to Guyana for mutually agreed fields such as agriculture and information technology. Indian companies have shown interest in sectors such as biofuels, energy, minerals, and pharmaceuticals. While bilateral trade turnover remains modest, the trend is positive and promising. The Prime Minister's visit is expected to open new avenues for collaboration, strengthen India-Guyana ties, and encourage broader regional partnerships. PM Modi also received the 'Key to the city of Georgetown' during his visit to Guyana. He also received a resounding welcome from the members of the Indian community in Guyana.US considers ban on home internet router maker TP-Link

IRVINE, Calif. (KABC) -- Local leaders on Thursday celebrated the opening of the Irvine Police Department's new "Real-Time Crime Center." The agency now has access to more than 1,000 cameras in real time thanks to the RTCC, said Kyle Oldoerp, a spokesman for the Police Department. That includes live video feed from intersections, private partnerships in the city, the Irvine Unified School District and Flock -- the technology used to read license plates, Oldoerp said. On duty at the RTCC are two specialists -- a crime analyst and a drone operator, all working in partnership with the dispatch center to decrease response times. "As officers are responding to calls, they're providing license plate numbers, possible suspects," Oldoerp said. "They're looking at criminal histories. They're looking at information that will tie criminals to crimes so that our officers can quickly locate them." In use since October 2022, the RTCC has already helped solve cases such as reconnecting an elderly person with their family, locating a suicidal teenager and this past July at the Irvine Spectrum--an alert to the center about a vehicle associated with previous thefts. Oldoerp said, without 911 getting a call, officers stopped the vehicle before it left the shopping center. Investigators said the suspects, seen here, tried to ditch a stolen pair of high-end sunglasses, "But because our officers were already set up, they were able to arrest those guys," Oldoerp said. Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, who helped secure $2 million in state funding for the center, said it's important to deploy leading-edge technology when it comes to fighting crime, while ensuring the protection of privacy laws. "There are established laws in terms of how and where some of these technologies can be deployed," Oldoerp said. "And I think it's our job as policy makers to ensure that as new technologies emerge, as new technologies get integrated into law enforcement and into policing, that we're also examining the unintended consequences of those, to ensure that we've got the best available technology and also the strongest privacy protections." The RTCC is scheduled for an expansion in 2025, allowing for increased staffing and new technology.AP News Summary at 6:23 p.m. EST

Louisville will aim to end a three-game losing streak when it hosts UTEP on Wednesday, but beating the Miners may not be an easy feat. UTEP (6-2) comes to the Derby City winners of three straight, most recently beating Seattle 88-72 on Saturday. The Miners shot 56.1 percent (32 of 57) and used a 24-2 first-half run to essentially put the game away. Coach Joe Golding said that first-half performance may have been UTEP's best in his four years leading the school. "I thought offensively and defensively the first 20 minutes we were really locked in and ready to go. (The game) never got close," he said. "We kept it at 20-plus points for the majority of the game. Our ball movement was terrific." Ahamad Bynum led the Miners with 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting off the bench, while Otis Frazier III added 18 points and five assists. Frazier (13.6 points per game) and Bynum (12.1 ppg) are among four UTEP players averaging in double figures. Bynum leads the country shooting 63.3 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, though he has attempted just 30 threes, making 19. Louisville (5-4) also started hot in its last game but could not sustain its momentum in a 76-65 home loss to then-No. 9 Duke on Sunday. Coach Pat Kelsey's team, which had just seven players healthy, made 10 of its first 14 shots to build a 30-16 lead before the Cardinals' lack of depth caught up to them. Louisville shot just 9-of-37 (24.3 percent) after its hot start and was outscored 43-28 after halftime. Terrence Edwards Jr. paced the Cardinals with 21 points in his first game as a reserve this season. Edwards (11.9 ppg) is one of four Louisville scorers averaging double figures, led by Chucky Hepburn leads the team in scoring (14.3 ppg) and is second in the country with 3.2 steals per game. The Cardinals entered the season with expectations of rotating 10 or more players to utilize Kelsey's up-tempo attack. However, swingman Kasean Pryor (knee) and guard Koren Johnson (shoulder) will both miss the rest of the season, while forward Aboubacar Traore (arm) is out indefinitely. After Sunday's loss, Kelsey did not rule out adding players to the roster during the season. "Everything's on the table," he said. "I don't sleep, figuring out what buttons to push to get this team to be the best that they can be. We'll scour every inch of the Earth to figure out how we can improve our team. And whether that happens or not, I have no idea, but I'm willing to try anything." --Field Level MediaParis St Germain boss Luis Enrique praised his side after their 3-0 win at Salzburg in the Champions League on Tuesday, but said they must improve if they want to stay in the competition. The Ligue 1 leaders endured a terrible start to their Champions League campaign, with defeats to Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and last season's Premier League runners-up Arsenal. However, Tuesday's win moved them into the playoff places and they now sit 24th in the standings with seven points from six games. Yet that is not enough for the coach. "Football is a pretty unfair sport, the classification is quite tight, a goal can make a difference and we still have two important games ahead, we can still be out," the manager said. "This wasn't a better game than PSV (Eindhoven) or Atletico Madrid, I'd even say it was worse, but that's football, we know we have to improve and the squad hasn't changed a lot. We need points, and we will try to win the next games." The manager did, however, praise the efforts of Nuno Mendes, who scored their second goal. "Nuno brings other solutions for his physical and technical qualities. He can both complete the triangle at the back and play up front. He's playing higher up at the moment. He brings a lot offensively. But that could change," the manager added. Luis Enrique will now turn his attention in the competition to the match against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City on Jan. 22, before they close their campaign against VfB Stuttgart seven days later. "We don't have the number of points we should have. It was important to score tonight because for one goal, you can be out of the Champions League. We have to go game by game, there's City now," he said.

Incoming border czar Tom Homan is warning sanctuary states and cities that opposing Donald Trump’s deportation agenda will lead to “the exact result you don’t want” and added that Trump’s policy will make the country “safer for everybody.” Appearing on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo, Homan explained that Trump’s massive repatriation plans will go forward despite the showboating by so-called “sanctuary” states and cities which have been making news by announcing their resistance to the plans. “You’ve got San Diego writing legislation. You’ve got Colorado and other states and other cities saying they’re going to prevent us doing what I’m doing,” he said. “I want to send a clear message. If you let us in the jail, we can arrest the bad guy in the jail and in the safety and security of the jail. One officer could do that, but when you release a public safety threat back in the community, you put the community at risk. You put my officers at risk. You put the alien at risk.” He went on to point out that if “sanctuary” areas want to keep the footprint of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to a minimum in their communities, then letting ICE into the jails is the smarter policy. “Here’s what’s going to happen – you release that guy in the community, I’m going to send an entire team to go look for the guy in your community. And what’s going to happen? We’ll find that guy. And when we find that guy, there’s probably going to be others that are not a priority,” he explained. “However, if they’re in the country illegally, they’ll be arrested, too, because we’re not going to tell an immigration officer like this [Biden] administration did, that you’re going to turn your back on an illegal immigrant. When you’re an immigration officer, you have an oath to uphold, so you are forcing us into community in large numbers where other non-priority aliens will be arrested,” Homan warned. “That’s the exact result you don’t want, so let us in the jail. It’s safer for everybody,” he said. A growing number of localities and governors in deep blue states are ginning up their supporters by proclaiming their intentions to resist Donald Trump’s plans to put an end to Joe Biden’s border crisis. In November, the far-left Democrat Mayor of Denver, Colorado, Mike Johnston, outrageously pledged to use the Denver Police Department as his ground troops to physically oppose Trump’s ICE operatives and to protect lawbreaking illegal aliens next year. He is far from alone. The city council of Los Angeles also jumped in to defend “sanctuary city” status last month with a unanimous vote to fully implement the policy in the crime-plagued city. The vote was called as an effort to signal to the Trump administration that officials there would resist federal authority on immigration issues. A number of left-wing governors from deep blue states have also made their fealty to illegal immigrants obvious by similarly announcing plans to resist ICE and any efforts to repatriate millions of illegal migrants. The list includes Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Washington State Gov. Bob Ferguson, and others. Like Denver’s Johnston, Boston’s radically woke Mayor Michelle Wu similarly vowed to resist Trump’s policies. And her city council responded by voting to reaffirm the city’s sanctuary status.
