I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! legend Barry McGuigan has shared intimate insights into a boxing injury that resulted in him needing a plastic nose. During the episode which aired on Friday (November 22), campmates listened intently as he and others discussed their connections with boxing. Coleen Rooney was quick to join the conversation, revealing her childhood sparring tales to Barry and McFly's Danny Jones, saying: "My dad had us, me and my two brothers sparring each other when we were younger. He used to get us in the living room, we've got it all on video. I was Big Betty, my brother's called Jo and he was Little Josie, and we used to have a ring walk." Following Coleen's revelation, the esteemed 63 year old ex-featherweight champion recounted how a grave injury had flattened his nose, requiring it to be replaced with a plastic one. Barry disclosed: "When I had it broken it was flat, so they just took the bone out and replaced it with plastic." The programme also gave viewers a flashback of Barry's remarkable career which started in 1981. The Irishman won British and European featherweight titles from 1983 to 1985 and proudly entered the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005, reports OK! . As the day unfolded, Danny seized the chance to garner tips from Barry on how to effectively train for body shots – advice Barry demonstrated with enthusiasm, exchanging playful punches with Danny. Later on, the singer couldn't hide their excitement in the Bush Telegraph, exclaiming: "Today my life was made because Barry McGuigan let me hit him in the stomach. I hit him really hard and it was solid, it was like hitting a brick wall." As the eldest contestant this year, Barry felt he could offer a sense of stability to the younger campmates, having shared prior to his jungle adventure, "I'm the consoler when the guys have a hard day in the gym and they haven't sparred particularly well." He added, "I'd like to think I'd be someone who would act as a 'calmer downer' if you like. Or I might get irritated. I really don't know."

The blame game has begun as Labor struggles to clear a logjam of legislation before the federal election. or signup to continue reading With 30 or so bills still before parliament and just one sitting week left in 2024, the Albanese government has taken aim at the Greens for stalling legislation. The minor party's objection to the Help to Buy shared equity scheme and incentives for build-to-rent have ignited Labor's ire as the government prepares to bring the bills for a final vote in the Senate in the upcoming days. "The Greens are going to the next election either as an effective party of protest, that has blocked and delayed action on things they say are important to them, or as a party that lets the government get on with addressing the housing needs of Australia," Housing Minister Clare O'Neil told ABC Radio on Monday. The two housing bills have struggled to attract the support of the opposition or the Greens, with Labor knocking back fresh demands from the minor party. Central to the Greens' updated position is funding for 25,000 "shovel-ready" homes not given the go-ahead under the first round of the Housing Australia Future Fund. Greens housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather said his party had designed "a compromise offer that is popular, achievable and easy to accept, it requires no new legislation and sits broadly within government policy". Labor insists the demand is unlawful and would result in the construction of million-dollar homes that are not value for money and could try push through the bill without support from the Greens. "The time for this negotiation and conversation was six months ago," Ms O'Neil said. The federal government's attack on the Greens follows the Queensland state election. The minor party lost a seat in the October contest, bolstering hopes for a Labor resurgence in the state at the upcoming federal election. Meanwhile, the federal government will try court the opposition's support for its migration bill, which could result in the deportation of more than 80,000 people. A friendless crackdown on misinformation and disinformation has been shelved and gambling reforms have been pushed into 2025. Other proposals to establish an environment protection agency and cap the number of foreign student arrivals have reached a stalemate and cabinet minister have continued to point fingers. "You have populist, vote-grabbing parties like the Greens and the coalition," Resources Minister Madeleine King told ABC Radio. "We're trying to do the right thing for the Australian community, whereas they want to block this to be able to put out another TikTok. "It's absolutely disgraceful." To Labor's relief, the government is expecting wins on its aged care reforms and its social media age limit, with the former expected to attract opposition support. Under world-first legislation, Australians younger than 16 will be banned from social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit and X. Labor will also be spruiking its Future Made in Australia plan, with its hydrogen and critical minerals production tax incentives to be introduced to parliament on Monday. The federal election is due to be held by May 17. Advertisement Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date. We care about the protection of your data. Read our . Advertisement
DETROIT (AP) — If Donald Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation. Economists say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, booze and other goods. The president-elect floated the tariff idea, including additional 10% taxes on goods from China, as a way to force the countries to halt the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the U.S. But his posts Monday on Truth Social threatening the tariffs on his first day in office could just be a negotiating ploy to get the countries to change behavior. High food prices were a major issue in voters picking Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, but tariffs almost certainly would push those costs up even further. For instance, the Produce Distributors Association, a Washington trade group, said Tuesday that tariffs will raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt U.S. farmers when other countries retaliate. “Tariffs distort the marketplace and will raise prices along the supply chain, resulting in the consumer paying more at the checkout line,” said Alan Siger, association president. Mexico and Canada are two of the biggest exporters of fresh fruit and vegetables to the U.S. In 2022, Mexico supplied 51% of fresh fruit and 69% of fresh vegetables imported by value into the U.S., while Canada supplied 2% of fresh fruit and 20% of fresh vegetables. Before the election, about 7 in 10 voters said they were very concerned about the cost of food, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters. “We’ll get them down,” Trump told shoppers during a September visit to a Pennsylvania grocery store. The U.S. is the largest importer of goods in the world, with Mexico, China and Canada its top three suppliers, according to the most recent U.S. Census data. People looking to buy a new vehicle likely would see big price increases as well, at a time when costs have gone up so much they are out of reach for many. The average price of a new vehicle now runs around $48,000. About 15% of the 15.6 million new vehicles sold in the U.S. last year came from Mexico, while 8% crossed the border from Canada, according to Global Data. Much of the tariffs would get passed along to consumers, unless automakers can somehow quickly find productivity improvements to offset them, said C.J. Finn, U.S. automotive sector leader for PwC. That means even more consumers “would potentially get priced out,” Finn said. Hardest hit would be Volkswagen, Stellantis, General Motors and Ford, Bernstein analyst Daniel Roeska wrote Tuesday in a note to investors. “A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada would severely cripple the U.S. auto industry,” he said. The tariffs would hurt U.S. industrial production so much that “we expect this is unlikely to happen in practice,” Roeska said. The tariff threat hit auto stocks on Tuesday, particularly shares of GM, which imports about 30% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. from Canada and Mexico, and Stellantis, which imports about 40% from the two countries. For both, about 55% of their lucrative pickup trucks come from Mexico and Canada. GM stock lost almost 9% of its value, while Stellantis dropped nearly 6%. It's not clear how long the tariffs would last if implemented, but they could force auto executives to move production to the U.S., which could create more jobs in the long run. However, Morningstar analyst David Whiston said automakers probably won't make any immediate moves because they can't quickly change where they build vehicles. Millions of dollars worth of auto parts flow across the borders with Mexico and Canada, and that could raise prices for already costly automobile repairs, Finn said. The Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. said tariffs on tequila or Canadian whisky won’t boost American jobs because they are distinctive products that can only be made in their country of origin. In 2023, the U.S. imported $4.6 billion worth of tequila and $108 million worth of mezcal from Mexico and $537 million worth of spirits from Canada, it said. “Tariffs on spirits products from our neighbors to the north and south are going to hurt U.S. consumers and lead to job losses across the U.S. hospitality industry,” it added. Electronics retailer Best Buy said on its third-quarter earnings conference call that it runs on thin profit margins, so while vendors and the company will shoulder some increases, Best Buy will have to pass tariffs to customers. “These are goods that people need, and higher prices are not helpful,” CEO Corie Barry said. Walmart also warned this week that tariffs could force it to raise prices. Tariffs could trigger supply chain disruptions as people buy goods before they are imposed and companies seek alternate sources of parts, said Rob Handfield, a professor of supply chain management at North Carolina State University. Some businesses might not be able to pass on the costs. “It could actually shut down a lot of industries in the United States. It could actually put a lot of U.S. businesses out of business,” he said. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who talked with Trump after his call for tariffs, said they had a good conversation about working together. "This is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on and that’s what we’ll do,” Trudeau said. Trump's threats come as arrests for illegally crossing the border from Mexico have been falling . But arrests for illegally crossing the border from Canada have been rising over the past two years. Much of America’s fentanyl is smuggled from Mexico, and seizures have increased. Trump has sound legal justification to impose tariffs, even though they conflict with a 2020 trade deal brokered in large part by Trump with Canada and Mexico, said William Reinsch, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former Clinton administration trade official. The treaty, known as the USMCA, is up for review in 2026. In China’s case, he could simply declare Beijing hasn't met obligations under an agreement he negotiated in his first term. For Canada and Mexico, he could say the influx of migrants and drugs are a national security threat, and turn to a section of trade law he used in his first term to slap tariffs on steel and aluminum. The law he would most likely use for Canada and Mexico has a legal process that often takes up to nine months, giving Trump time to seek a deal. If talks failed and the duties were imposed, all three countries would likely retaliate with tariffs on U.S. exports, said Reinsch, who believes Trump's tariffs threat is a negotiating ploy. U.S. companies would lobby intensively against tariffs, and would seek to have products exempted. Some of the biggest exporters from Mexico are U.S. firms that make parts there, Reinsch said. Longer term, Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said the threat of tariffs could make the U.S. an “unstable partner” in international trade. “It is an incentive to move activity outside the United States to avoid all this uncertainty,” she said. Trump transition team officials did not immediately respond to questions about what he would need to see to prevent the tariffs from being implemented and how they would impact prices in the U.S. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Tuesday that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own. Sheinbaum said she was willing to talk about the issues, but said drugs were a U.S. problem. ___ Rugaber reported from Washington.

Global Latex Wedge Pillow Market Set For 3.5% Growth, Reaching $385.33 Billion By 2028NASHUA -- The process of determining the city's tax rate is currently on hold, the result of a delay by the School Department in filing the necessary paperwork with the state Department of Revenue Administration, Mayor James Donchess said in a statement. In the meantime, the Board of Aldermen have scheduled a special meeting for Tuesday evening, at which city treasurer and tax collector Dawn Enwright will explain the process of how the tax rate is formulated and answer related questions. The presentation starts at 7 p.m. in the aldermanic chamber. It can also be viewed live on Nashua CTV, and will be replayed on the city's YouTube channel. The presentation will be followed by a regular meeting to begin at 7:30, or after the special meeting concludes. Aldermen are also holding a separate special meeting tonight, the subject of which will be a public hearing on seven pending resolutions, the details of which can be found in the Agenda Center at www.nashuanh.gov . As for the delay in announcing the city's 2025 tax rate, which is typically received by property owners via mail around mid-November, Donchess said School District officials recently notified him that they have "not yet been able to file" their financial report, known as DOE-25, with the state Department of Education. Donchess didn't indicate the reason for the School District's delay in filing their financial report with the DOE. Once the report is filed, the DOE must review it and accept it before the city can generate a form known as MS-25 and file it with the state Department of Revenue Administration. Based upon that information, the DRA then formulates the city's tax rate. For taxpayers' planning purposes, Donchess said officials estimate the new rate to be between $15.90 and $16.00, but noted that number could change. As it stands now, city officials don't expect to receive the new tax rate from the DRA until after Thanksgiving. Barring further delays, the city should be able to issue, and mail to taxpayers, the new tax rate by mid-December, with a due date in mid-January, Donchess said. nashuanews@unionleader.com
