Canada's Trudeau says he had an 'excellent conversation' with Trump in Florida after tariffs threat
Kosovo arrested several suspects Saturday after an explosion at a key canal feeding two of its main power plants, while neighbouring Serbia rejected accusations of staging the blast. The explosion Friday near the town of Zubin Potok, which sits in an ethnic Serb-dominated area in Kosovo's troubled north, damaged a canal that supplies water to hundreds of thousands of people and cooling systems at two coal-fired power plants that generate most of Kosovo's electricity. As security forces swarmed the area around the canal, whose concrete walls were left with a gaping hole gushing water, Prime Minister Albin Kurti visited the site and announced authorities had arrested several people. Law enforcement "carried out searches" and "collected testimony and evidence, and the criminals and terrorists will have to face justice and the law," he said. The arrests follow a security meeting late Friday, when Kurti pointed the finger at Serbia. "The attack was carried out by professionals. We believe it comes from gangs directed by Serbia," he told a press conference, without providing evidence. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic hit back Saturday, denying the "irresponsible" and "baseless accusations". "Such unfounded claims are aimed to tarnish Serbia's reputation, as well as to undermine efforts to promote peace and stability in the region," he said in a statement to AFP. Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Djuric had earlier suggested on X that the Kosovar "regime" could itself be behind the blast, calling for an international investigation. The main political party representing Serbs in Kosovo, Serb List, also condemned the attack "in the strongest possible terms". AFP journalists at the scene saw water leaking heavily from one side of the reinforced canal, which runs from the Serb-majority north of Kosovo to the capital, Pristina. However, electricity supplies to consumers were running smoothly on Saturday morning, with authorities having found an alternative method to cool the plants, said Kosovo's Economy Minister Artane Rizvanolli. Repair work was ongoing, authorities said, while Kurti confirmed workers had managed to restore water flows to 25 percent capacity. The United States strongly condemned the "attack on critical infrastructure in Kosovo", the US embassy in Pristina said in a statement on Facebook. "We are monitoring the situation closely... and have offered our full support to the government of Kosovo to ensure that those responsible for this criminal attack are identified and held accountable." Turkey's foreign ministry also condemned the attack, adding: "We call on all parties to exercise restraint to avoid escalation in the region." The NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping mission for Kosovo joined the calls for restraint. "It is important that facts are established and that those responsible are held accountable and brought to justice," it said in a statement. The force is providing security in the surrounding area and has offered logistical, explosives removal and engineering support to the Kosovo authorities, it added. The European Union's ambassador to Kosovo, Aivo Orav, joined the international condemnation, saying on X: "The incident needs to be investigated and those responsible brought to justice." Animosity between ethnic Albanian-majority Kosovo and Serbia has persisted since the end of the war between Serbian forces and ethnic Albanian insurgents in the late 1990s. Kosovo declared independence in 2008, a move that Serbia has refused to acknowledge. Kurti's government has for months sought to dismantle a parallel system of social services and political offices backed by Belgrade to serve Kosovo's Serbs. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama on Saturday denounced "the act of sabotage on the critical water supply infrastructure in the Iber-Lepenc Canal" in comments on X, calling it "a serious crime that endangers the lives of Kosovo's citizens and undermines the process of normalizing relations in our region." Friday's attack came after a series of violent incidents in northern Kosovo, including the hurling of hand grenades at a municipal building and a police station earlier this week. ih/ach/giv/jhb/sbk
FOX 11's Elex Michaelson explains the controversial Prop. 36 that would increase the punishment for certain theft and drug crimes. SEAL BEACH, Calif. - An alleged shoplifter got quite the surprise when she found out some shoplifting offenses are now considered a felony in California. "It's a felony?" video shows one of the women saying. "B*tch new laws!" the suspect next to her replies as they sit handcuffed in the back of a patrol car. "Stealing is a felony and this Orange County b*tch. They don’t play." Surveillance video shared Sunday by the Seal Beach Police Department shows three women walking into an Ulta Beauty store, perusing the shelves, then nonchalantly leaving with around $648 worth of stolen merchandise. SUGGESTED: Business owners support Prop 36 amid lootings Another video allegedly shows the same three women going inside a Kohl's store where they allegedly left with around $1,000 worth of merchandise. Surveillance video shared Sunday by the Seal Beach Police Department shows three women walking into an Ulta Beauty store, perusing the shelves, then nonchalantly leaving with around $648 worth of stolen merchandise. Bodycam video shows police officers chasing the women and ultimately arresting them. "A friendly reminder that Proposition 36, which increases punishments for some retail theft and drug possession offenses, went into effect Wednesday morning in California," the Seal Beach PD wrote on Instagram. "Don't steal in Seal!" SUGGESTED: The debate over Prop 36 in California Prop. 36 was a rightward swing of the California political pendulum – a decade ago, voters eased criminal penalties for certain crimes under 2014’s Proposition 47, which was pitched as both a cost-saving measure and a more effective way to combat crime by focusing dollars on treatment instead of incarceration. Then, during the pandemic, the rate of shoplifting and commercial burglaries skyrocketed, especially in Los Angeles, Alameda, San Mateo and Sacramento counties. Statewide, reported shoplifting of merchandise worth up to $950 soared 28% over the past five years , according to the Public Policy Institute of California. That’s the highest observed level since 2000. SUGGESTED: Explaining California's Prop. 36 Combining shoplifting with commercial burglaries, the institute’s researchers found that total reported thefts were 18% higher than in 2019. Now, certain drug offenses and thefts under $950 can be classified as felonies rather than misdemeanors if the suspected perpetrator has two or more past convictions for theft crimes. SUGGESTED: California Prop 36 explained: Increasing penalties for theft and drug trafficking Proponents said the initiative is necessary to close legal loopholes that have made it challenging for law enforcement to punish shoplifters and drug dealers. Opponents, including Democratic state leaders and social justice groups, said it will disproportionately imprison poor people and those with substance-use issues rather than target ringleaders who hire large groups of people to steal goods for resale online. The initiative will also take away drug and mental health funding that comes from savings from incarcerating fewer people. Californians for Safety and Justice, a nonprofit that seeks to reduce prison and jail spending, estimated that Prop. 36 will add 130,000 more people to California jails each year, about 100,000 of them held in jail before trial and about 30,000 serving one-year sentences after their convictions. The Source: This story was reported with information from the Seal Beach Police Department and the Associated Press.Burt, the huge crocodile that rose to fame with a cameo in the movie “Crocodile Dundee” and continued to impress visitors with his fiery temper and commanding presence, has died. Burt died over the weekend, the Crocosaurus Cove reptile aquarium in Darwin, Australia , said. He was at least 90 years old. “Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor — an attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm,” Crocosaurus Cove wrote in social media posts. “He wasn’t just a crocodile, he was a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures. While his personality could be challenging, it was also what made him so memorable and beloved by those who worked with him and the thousands who visited him over the years,” the aquarium wrote. A saltwater crocodile , Burt was estimated to be more than 5 meters (16 feet) long. He was captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River and became one of the most well-known crocodiles in the world, according to Crocosaurus Cove. The 1986 movie stars Paul Hogan as the rugged crocodile hunter Mick Dundee. In the movie, American Sue Charlton, played by actress Linda Kozlowski, goes to fill her canteen in a watering hole when she is attacked by a crocodile before being saved by Dundee. Burt is briefly shown lunging out of the water. But the creature shown in more detail as Dundee saves the day is apparently something else. The Internet Movie Database says the movie goofed by depicting an American alligator, which has a blunter snout. The Australian aquarium where Burt had lived since 2008 features a “Cage of Death” which it says is the nation's only crocodile dive. It said it planned to honor Burt's legacy with a commemorative sign “celebrating his extraordinary life and the stories and interactions he shared throughout his time at the park.”

The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) has reiterated its call to the government to seriously consider its proposal of setting up a public-private committee on energy to better manage national energy, following changes in America's energy policy under the incoming Donald Trump administration. The demand and supply of energy have become increasingly important as fossil-derived fuels are blamed for causing global warming. However, Trump has announced that he will support additional fossil fuel exploration and production in order to serve industry. "We need to keep an eye on what will come after this announcement," Kriengkrai Thiennukul, chairman of the FTI, told participants on Thursday at the 2024 Petroleum Outlook Forum, jointly held by national oil and gas conglomerate PTT Plc and the FTI's Petroleum Refining Industry Club. Amid this uncertainty, the Thai government needs to carefully plan the country's energy management. Authorities cannot work on this task alone, said Mr Kriengkrai. They need opinions from businesses on the government's controversial plan to pursue Thai-Cambodian talks on joint petroleum production in the overlapping claims area (OCA) that lies between the countries as well as a push for the development of a small modular reactor, a form of nuclear power technology. The FTI has been voicing concerns over high energy costs in Thailand, which will affect manufacturers' competitiveness. This is not good for the export sector, which is one of the country's key economic drivers. "The manufacturing sector would tend to employ fewer workers but consume more energy in the future," said Mr Kriengkrai. As businesses adopt more modern technologies, notably those utilised in the digital segment, they require more electricity to run their operations. The world is promoting a greater use of renewable energy, which has led to growing demand for clean electricity across various industries, including data centres and cloud services. Thailand earlier invited foreign firms specialising in data centre development to invest in the country, but these firms want the government to first clarify how it will be able to facilitate their purchases of clean power in Thailand. It is expected that the change in America's energy policy under a Trump presidency will affect Washington, DC's plan to achieve a net-zero target, a balance between greenhouse gas emissions and absorption, by 2050. But Trump's support of the oil industry should be among the factors behind a decrease in global oil price fluctuations, preventing a surge in the price of goods in the US.Canadian government suspends contracts with Boissonnault's former company
DULUTH — Bulldogs coaches Laura Schuler and Scott Sandelin spoke with reporters on Wednesday ahead of their conference series coming up this weekend. Sandelin’s squad is in Tempe, Arizona, to face Arizona State at 8 p.m. CST Friday and 6 p.m. CST Saturday in NCHC play while Schuler’s Bulldogs are at St. Cloud State to take on the Huskies at 3 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday for a WCHA series. ADVERTISEMENT The big news from Sandelin on Wednesday was the injury report, which you can read in this story. Below are my highlights from Schuler’s press conference. The Bulldogs recently shared their favorite Laura Schuler sayings on social media. You can catch them all here on Instagram. We asked Schuler about the top picks of her players, and what they all mean. “A lot of times when we’re in video sessions and somebody does something that’s absolutely, you know, elite, that’s what I say,” Schuler said. “I’m like, ‘That was elite.’ And, ‘I know her.’” “A lot of times you’re trying to set the trap when you’re playing hockey, so it’s kind of like, give the little kid some candy at Halloween,” Schuler said in her explanation. “That’s how you’re going to pull them in to set the trap and attack off of it. It’s one way of getting them to remember, and just making them laugh.” ADVERTISEMENT “I think I say “oooooo” a lot when I hear a good idea or something from anybody. I think I also say ‘hey kids’ or ‘here we go kids’ a lot,” Schuler said about her sayings. “That was funny. I didn’t realize I said all those things so much.” Schuler is excited to play the Huskies this weekend. It was a tight series a year ago with UMD edging SCSU in the regular season 2-1-1, with the last two games being a 1-0 UMD win and 0-0 overtime tie. The Bulldogs then swept the WCHA quarterfinal series at Amsoil Arena in convincing 5-0 and 2-0 fashions. “They’re a well-coached team. A very, very disciplined team with their structure and how they play the game,” Schuler said. “I’m excited to go there. They’ve been doing really well. They’ve beaten the (Gophers). We’ve always had such a good, healthy rivalry between the two schools. I’m excited to go there.” Tracking will be “paramount” for UMD on the big ice sheet. While some hybrid ice sheets, around 90 feet wide, left in women’s college hockey, the Huskies’ Herb Brooks National Hockey Center is the last remaining Olympic-size sheet in women’s college hockey. In fact, it’s one of just two in all of college hockey along with Alaska’s Carlson Center in Fairbanks. While conducive to a Bulldogs team that can score this year, Schuler said the team’s tracking on the big sheet will be “paramount” and “important for us.” “We've got to keep our (defensemen) inside the (faceoff) dots,” Schuler said. “Our forwards need to make sure they are coming back hard and pushing pucks outside the dot lines. A lot of what we’re doing today and what we did on Monday was focusing on the defensive aspects of our game.” Hanna Baskin is a fan of the big ice sheet. Typically forwards are fans of the wider ice sheet because it gives them more room to work. Meanwhile, defensemen usually are not big fans because it is more space to defend. ADVERTISEMENT UMD senior defenseman Hanna Baskin and fifth-year senior forward Clara Van Wieren buck those stereotypes. “I personally do like the big ice sheet,” Baskin said. “It allows for us defensemen to be more creative in our breakouts, too, which is really fun. It’s something that is a strength of mine. I like to see the ice well. Being able to make more plays, different plays, whatever it is on that bigger sheet, I like it. Defensively it can be a little tough.” “I, honestly, I’m not going to lie to you; I don’t think about it much,” said Van Wieren, who Schuler said skates on Lake Superior, possibly skewing her perspective on what is a “big ice sheet.”Stealth destroyer to be home for 1st hypersonic weapon on a US warship

Showing increasing momentum , Chainlink’s (LINK) price jumped by 130% over the past month. The obviously rising trend of higher highs and higher lows in the Chainlink price chart points to further rallies. Though Chainlink (LINK) is still more than 50% away from its all-time high (ATH) of $52 achieved in 2021, there is increasing expectation that a new ATH could be within grasp during this bull cycle. Technical signals on the Chainlink price chart including the MACD, Momentum Oscillator, and MAs all suggest continuous purchasing activity. As it approaches surpassing its historical highs and maybe creating new milestones soon, Chainlink (LINK) is a promising altcoin to monitor.
