AP News Summary at 11:07 a.m. ESTGamers face steep prices for Nvidia RTX 50 series as key details emerge onlineBy Nate Raymond (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Democrats and Republicans clinched a late-night deal on Wednesday that clears the way for votes on a group of President Joe Biden's nominees for federal trial courts in exchange for not pushing forward with four nominees to serve on appellate courts, leaving vacancies that Republican President-elect Donald Trump can fill. The deal, described by a spokesperson for Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday, was reached after Senate Republicans launched a campaign to try to stall and prevent Democrats from fulfilling their plan to confirm as many life-tenured judges as possible before Trump takes office in January. Senate Republicans had previously said they had votes to block at least two of the four appellate court nominees, including Adeel Mangi, who would have become the first Muslim federal appellate judge if confirmed to the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The deal was sure to disappoint progressive advocates who have been pushing Democrats to fill as many judicial vacancies as possible following the Nov. 5 election, which handed the White House to Trump and control of the Senate to Republicans. "Willingly gifting Donald Trump the chance to appoint judges more committed to political agendas than the rule of law is doing a dangerous disservice to the American people," Maggie Jo Buchanan, the director of the progressive legal group Demand Justice, said in a statement. Since the election, the Senate has confirmed eight of Biden's judge picks, bringing the total number of confirmed judicial nominees to 221. The Democratic-led Senate on Thursday confirmed one more, Sharad Desai, to serve as a trial court judge in Arizona. Republicans at Trump's urging had tried to put procedural roadblocks in place to slow down the process and peel away votes in a Senate that Democrats narrowly control 51-49. But several Republican senators have missed votes to confirm judges. Under the deal, the Senate will vote on confirming seven nominees to district court judges who Schumer had already teed up when it returns from its post-Thanksgiving recess in exchange for no longer pursuing the confirmation of the four nominees to higher-level appellate courts. The Senate will also take up consideration of five other district court nominees who whose nominations were advanced on Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee. "The trade was four circuit nominees -- all lacking the votes to get confirmed -- for more than triple the number of additional judges moving forward," a Schumer spokesperson said in a statement. The other appellate nominees were Ryan Park, up for a seat on the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; Julia Lipez, who was nominated to the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; and Karla Campbell, who was nominated to the Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Following the Guatemalan president’s claim that the largest cocaine shipment ever seized in the Dominican Republic was loaded in the country, political parties have expressed concern, while Dominican authorities have yet to confirm this statement or identify those responsible for the nearly 10 tons of drugs seized at the Caucedo multimodal port last week. Leaders of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) have called the Guatemalan president’s accusations serious, urging for accountability and further investigation. They stressed that the Dominican government must clarify its position on the matter. While the Guatemalan president stated that the container with the drugs was contaminated in the Dominican Republic, local authorities have not confirmed this claim. The Public Prosecutor’s Office has only indicated that the investigation is ongoing, without providing details on any arrests. The drug shipment, valued at around US$250 million, has already been incinerated.

On December 12 when the world will celebrate the2024 World Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day Nigeria is expected to reaffirm its commitment to achieving that feat. The UHC, according to World Health Organisation, means that all people have access to the full range of quality health services they need, when and where they need them. This is without financial hardship. It covers the full continuum of essential health services, from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care across the life course. It is the key to addressing the healthcare challenges faced by millions of Nigerians particularly among women and children. The celebration of UHC Day serves as a reminder that health is a fundamental human right, and no one should be left behind in accessing essential healthcare services. With about two billion people facing financial hardship including one billion experiencing catastrophic out-of-pocket health spending, globally, or 344 million people going into extreme poverty due to health costs, achieving UCH becomes imperative. At the 65th National Council on Health in Maiduguri, Borno State, the Federal Government, in collaboration with the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), urged collective action across all sectors to drive sustainable healthcare improvements. This call aligns with the global UHC Day theme, explaining the importance of collaboration in achieving health equity and ensuring that everyone has access to the health services they need without suffering financial hardship. The Coordinating Minister of Health & Social Welfare, Prof. Mohammed Ali Pate, underscored the need for collaboration across all levels of government, healthcare providers, and the civil society to overcome healthcare delivery barriers, particularly maternal health challenges. Local Governments, according to ALGON, are playing a pivotal role in this effort through their Primary Healthcare Revitalisation and Operationalisation Programmes (APH-ROP). These initiatives are crucial to ensuring that no one is left behind in Nigeria’s journey toward achieving UHC by 2030. In remote Burra community in Ningi Local Government of Bauchi State, Mrs Safiya Abdullahi, a housewife recalled the time when fever could mean a life-threatening journey to the nearest town. “Today, thanks to investments in revitalised primary healthcare systems led by our local government management, we can access essential health services a short walk from her home,” Abdullahi recalled. Her story reflects a broader transformation driven by Nigeria’s local governments in their quest to bridge healthcare gaps. With renewed commitment from ALGON and collaboration with state and federal stakeholders, local councils are becoming critical players in Nigeria’s journey toward UHC. Hon. Aminu Juaro Hassan, ALGON Chairman, Taraba State and ALGON Welfare Officer, said that ALGON, representing all 774 Local Government Councils (LGCs) in Nigeria, has launched the Primary Healthcare Revitalisation and Operationalisation Program (APH-ROP) to strengthen PHCs service delivery nationwide. Hassan said that the programme aligned with the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (NHSRII) and aimed to achieve UHC and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. He said the key objective of APH-ROP was to: “Empower Local Government Councils to lead and manage primary healthcare services autonomously. “It also seeks to establish mechanisms for prioritising health expenditures to drive economic development and shared prosperity an Foster collaborations with federal and state governments, the private sector, development partners, and community leaders. “It aims to create a centralised data-driven health information system linked to National DHIS2 to monitor health trends and outcomes and build a high-performing and motivated health workforce through systematic training, monitoring and evaluation,” he said. Mr Bello Lawal, National President, of ALGON, said the implementation would be a multi-sectoral initiative to improve health outcomes and achieve the SDGs. “It involves the use grassroots advocacy, community sensitisation, and resource mobilization to strengthen demand for healthcare services,” he said. Speaking on a multisectoral and inclusive approach, he said that these underscored: “gender, equity and social inclusion“. He said that the policy roadmap would be, to reorient LGCs for improved health leadership and stakeholder engagement, and build resilient health systems to meet UHC and health security standards. Amongst others, he said would enhance accountability in health resource management, ensure integrated, data-driven decision-making and invest in continuous capacity building for health workers. Speaking on how to overcome geographical barriers to the project using drones, Dr Seiyefa Brisibe, Commissioner for Health, Bayelsa said the state already used them in logistics distribution including vaccines. He said they were used to deliver the vaccines to remote, waterlogged communities which were not accessible by road. Brisible said the state also integrated community leaders into Primary Health Care Task Force meetings to review progress. In Ogun, Dr Tomi Coker said the state leveraged baseline data revealing only 40 per cent of women delivered with skilled birth attendance. Coker said Ogun implemented targeted interventions such as training Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) to improve referrals and outcomes. “This was a major concern, particularly when facility deliveries were concentrated in urban areas. “With this data, the state designed a comprehensive intervention aimed at addressing both demand‐side and supply‐side factors that affect maternal health. “The state worked closely with TBAs, providing them with training and assurances that they would not be blamed if complications arose. “The state encouraged TBAs to refer women with high‐risk pregnancies to health facilities, and women were reassured that they could register with both TBAs and health facilities,” she said. She said that this could be replicated nationwide as part of the vehicles towards the attainment of UHC. Dr Bolanle Olusola-Faleye, Chief Party, United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Local Health System Sustainability Project (LHSS), expressed optimism about the initiative’s potential. Olusola-Faleye said the programmes would help reduce maternal and child mortality and strengthen healthcare service delivery nationwide. However, she stressed the importance of monitoring, sustainability and a focus on equity to ensure that no community is left behind. “The implementation phase is expected to begin next year, with ALGON and other partners working collaboratively to establish governance frameworks, enhance human resource capacity, and drive community-based advocacy. “This landmark commitment sets a new standard for local government’s involvement in healthcare transformation in Nigeria,” she said. For Dr Walter Kazadi Mulombo, Head, WHO Nigeria, the importance of global partnerships in advancing health and education at the local government levels could not be overemphasised. Mulombo praised the ongoing technical support efforts to strengthen health systems across the country and expressed optimism about the future impact of the initiatives. Dr Pamela Ajayi, President of the Healthcare Federation of Nigeria, stressed the role of the private sector in healthcare delivery at the local government levels, underscoring two key initiatives – the GDP and the New World Initiative – which use telecommunications and mobile health technology to improve primary healthcare in underserved areas. Dr Garfa Alawode, Co-convener of the UHC2023 Forum, also called for a united effort to reduce preventable deaths, improve healthcare infrastructure, and support healthcare workers. “Addressing Nigeria’s healthcare challenges requires collective will and action,” Alawode said. ALGON’s APH-ROP initiative and its alignment with NHSRII and SWAp reflect the critical role of local governments in driving UHC in Nigeria. Through innovative programmes, collaborative leadership and strategic partnerships, ALGON is positioning Nigeria’s local governments as leaders in primary healthcare delivery. This comprehensive approach ensures that individuals like Abdullai and countless others have access to life-changing healthcare services, bridging the gap toward a healthier and more equitable Nigeria. NANNORMAL – The Illinois State basketball team fought adversity Sunday at CEFCU Arena, and adversity won. Playing without No. 2 scorer Johnny Kinziger and losing top scorer Chase Walker early, the Redbirds also battled second-half foul trouble in a 73-67 loss to Illinois-Chicago before a crowd of 3,841. Here are nine takeaways from ISU’s second MVC defeat in as many outings that snapped a four-game winning streak. Walker’s hard fall Sophomore center Chase Walker scored ISU’s first six points. The final basket came on a dunk in transition off a pass from Dalton Banks just 2:04 into the game. But Walker fell hard, and after being down on the court for a couple minutes, limped to the ISU bench under his own power. Illinois State's Chase Walker puts up a shot around the defense of Illinois-Chicago's Sasa Ciani (21) on Sunday at CEFCU Arena. “It looked like he landed flat. He was up and landed hard,” ISU coach Ryan Pedon said. “It was good to see him walking around, but I think they’re being precautionary holding him back. We’re hoping for the best there.” A 6-foot-9 sophomore, Walker entered the game as ISU’s leader in scoring (15.3) and rebounding (6.7). After several minutes of treatment and evaluation, Walker returned to sit at the end of the ISU bench. He walked gingerly to the huddle during timeouts. “Chase draws so much attention. He compacts the defense, and adds an element of physicality,” said Pedon. “We missed those components.” Kinziger status Kinziger, who averages 13.8 points, did not play after suffering a bruised knee in the first half of ISU’s win at Cornell on Dec. 22. “I don’t think Johnny’s is a long term deal. It’s nothing major or structural that’s going to require surgery,” Pedon said. “I think he’s going to be all right. He’s getting better. I don’t know if it’s this week or next or something like that.” Fast start fades Ignited by Walker, ISU (8-5 overall) led 22-10 after a Caden Boser 3-pointer at the 11:02 mark of the first half. The Flames (8-4, 1-1 MVC) committed five early turnovers but began to heat up and pulled within 35-33 entering halftime. “Chase creates so much. He draws so much attention,” said graduate student guard Dalton Banks. “So for him to go down early obviously hurt. I think it’s more on us. I don’t think today we had the best next man up mentality. We made too many mistakes, especially defensively.” Illinois State's Caden Boser provided the defense on Illinois-Chicago's Javon Jackson on Sunday at CEFCU Arena. Poindexter steps in Taking over for Kinziger, graduate student guard Malachi Poindexter made his second start of the season and first since the opener. Poindexter responded with a season high 20 points, sinking 12 of 14 at the free throw line. “I’m just ready to play whatever role Coach wants me to be in at the time,” Poindexter said. “We have a couple guys out so my role might change a little bit. That’s what had to happen tonight. I’m just focusing on winning.” Illinois State coach Ryan Pedon encouraged his team during first half action Sunday against Illinois-Chicago at CEFCU Arena. “I thought Malachi gave us a really good performance,” said Pedon. “He shot 14 free throws. That tells you about his competitive will. I thought he played with real urgency. I admire that about Malachi.” Poindexter agreed with Banks that the Redbirds needed to respond to the absence of Kinziger and Walker better. “I think UIC did a good of just being tougher and stronger throughout the second half and part of the first half as well,” Poindexter said. “We hit them in the mouth early, but they swung back. We kind of curled up a little bit.” Second half troubles ISU starter Landon Wolf picked up his fourth foul with 17:30 left in the second half and sat out the next eight minutes. Boser, seeing more court time with Walker out, also sat down after being called for his fourth foul later in the half. UIC moved out to a 54-48 edge with 11:38 to play and did not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. The Redbirds pulled as close as four twice in the final minute. Illinois State's Dalton Banks (3) defended Illinois-Chicago's Jordan Mason (2) on Sunday at CEFCU Arena. “You’re going to lose guys. Guys are going to get hurt,” Banks said. “But you have to be able to step into your role when called on. That starts with me. I didn’t do what I needed to do in the second half in terms of leadership. We’ve obviously got to get healthy, but we have to get a little tougher collectively.” Banks finished with nine points and team highs of five assists (without a turnover) and two steals. ISU matched a season low with five turnovers. Ty Pence was the only other ISU player scoring in double figures with 10 as the Redbirds shot just 33 percent from the field in the second half (8 of 24) and 39.7 percent overall (23 of 58). “When you’re down two of your very best players, everybody’s got to elevate just a little bit in terms of reliability, production and just being sound and solid,” said Pedon. “We weren’t enough in those areas today. Our bench has got to be a little bit better.” 3-point slippage ISU came into Sunday as the No. 3 3-point shooting team in Division I at 41.8 percent. But the Redbirds coaxed in just 6 of 26 from beyond the arc Sunday for 23.1 percent. At 8 of 17, UIC attempted nine fewer from 3-point range but still connected on two more. Flames Filip Skobalj (eight points), Tyem Freeman (10) and Javon Jackson (14) combined for 6 of 10 long range accuracy. Sasa Ciana paced UIC with 16 points and his nine rebounds paved the way for a 38-31 margin on the boards. Skunberg bootless North Dakota State transfer Boden Skunberg, who has not played all season because of a foot injury, has shed the protective boot. “Progress, yes. He has not been full go at all,” said Pedon. “The progression he’s going through week by week is in relation to the tolerance level to pain he’s feeling. He’s been working really hard. There is some healing going on, and progress has been made.” The ISU coach will discuss the possibility of sitting out the entire season as a redshirt and returning for his final year of eligibility next season with Skunberg once a target date for his return has come clearer into focus. “When we feel like there is a date he could potentially return, then let’s sit down and talk and figure this out,” Pedon said. Lieb remains sidelined Center Brandon Lieb still is wearing a guard on one finger on his right hand. Lieb has been out the entire season. “He’s in the same boat. We don’t have a date yet,” said Pedon. “Progress is being made, but I think that’s a little more extended. We have a conversation and make a determination at that date as well.” Next up ISU heads to Kentucky to face Murray State on Thursday at 7 p.m. Follow Randy Reinhardt on Twitter: @Pg_Reinhardt Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!

RIYADH: Spaniard Gus Franco moved to Saudi Arabia out of curiosity in early 2024 and soon fell in love with its rich culture, documenting his experiences and sharing his adventures with millions of viewers on social media. Franco spoke to Arab News about how he had searched for accurate information about the Kingdom before his move, only to find media overshadowed by stereotypes. To his surprise, he found the reality was “completely different” to the stereotypes, which inspired him to create his own content and change the narrative. “That’s how ‘Gus in Saudi’ was born: a project to showcase the Kingdom through a relatable lens,” he said. “The results speak for themselves: almost 100 million views and followers from over 60 nationalities and countless messages from people saying they now want to visit or work here.” The content creator and business consultant says his inspiration comes from things that catch his attention: traditions and places as well as Saudi and international followers who guide him through the city and his content. “Saudi Arabia stands out for its unique blend of tradition and modernity, which coexist in fascinating ways. The pride in preserving traditions, combined with the excitement of Vision 2030, creates a dynamic and evolving atmosphere. “My Arab followers have been incredibly supportive. They were the first to encourage me and help me refine my content. Even critiques are constructive and teach me about cultural nuances I hadn’t considered.” Franco has become so fond of the Kingdom, that he is now writing a book inspired by his travels. “I’ve grown attached to this country and feel that through my work, I can contribute to its image and progress... I still have many projects I want to develop. For instance, I’ve written a 400-page book about the country, which I’m still refining.” From a small Spanish town to the bustling city of Riyadh, he said he has always had the urge to explore beyond his surroundings, taking over 100 trips globally to more than 150 cities. “Living in the UK and Belgium shaped my curiosity about regions I knew less about, especially the Middle East. “Saudi Arabia stood out for its rich traditions and rapid transformations. Thanks to a government program, I arrived nearly a year ago, and it’s been a journey of discovery and growth ever since.” Franco says life in the Kingdom feels “both familiar and distinct”, noting the city layout, reminiscent of an American style, is car-centric, with social gatherings happening in specific “plazas” or “stirahas”. He added: “Weekdays follow a structured rhythm of work, gym, and routine, while weekends come alive with vibrant and comforting activities: whether it’s having dinner at 2 a.m., grabbing coffee at 10 p.m., or heading out for a picnic (kashta) in the desert. These experiences add a unique charm to life in Saudi.” Franco mentioned the rich history between Spain and Saudi Arabia, highlighting Al-Andalus, the Muslim-ruled area of the Iberian Peninsula, and strong family values. “Both are peninsulas with cultures shaped by diverse influences. Growing up in southern Spain, I found it easy to relate to the warmth and social connections here...I’ve learned so much about Saudi culture, especially the role of religion and the importance of hospitality. “Saudis are incredibly humble, generous, and welcoming. Trust and family are central to their lives, much like in Spain.” In Spain, coffee is almost sacred, he added. “My brother and I can go through two or three coffee pots a day. In Saudi Arabia, coffee holds a similarly significant role, which made me feel at home instantly.” During his time in the Kingdom, Franco said he learned about Saudi culture and the Arabic language organically through interacting with locals. “I’ve never taken formal lessons, but now I can read, write, and have a vocabulary of over 1,000 words, even if my Arabic is still broken. Words like khalas, inshallah, alhamdulillah, and bismillah are part of daily vocabulary. They represent not just the language but also the deeper values I’ve come to appreciate. “I still laugh when I think about the comments about being ‘heavy-blooded’ (dam thaqil) or ‘light-blooded’ (dam khafif). At first, I didn’t understand, but now I know it means whether you’re funny or not. It’s been a fun way to learn and connect with the humor here. Alhamdulillah!” He said reactions to his content creation have been mostly positive, but not everyone fully understands the balance he tries to maintain between social media and real life. “I know that sometimes it has bothered people close to me. It’s something I’ve learned to handle it better. Also, my mother’s opinion matters deeply to me. She’s always supported me and reminded me to stay grounded and take breaks when needed, which has been invaluable as I navigate this journey. “Anyway, with my return home for holidays, I’m sure they’ll have plenty of questions about Saudi Arabia, Arabic, and my content. It will be fun to see their reactions!” Although Franco’s time in the Kingdom may come to an end since his contract is ending soon, he is currently evaluating the options on the table. “If I stay, I want to take my projects to the next level, increasing their impact and contributing even more to the country. If I leave, I’d like to remain connected to Saudi Arabia in some way. “This country has become a part of me: culturally, professionally and emotionally. Vision 2030 is marked on my calendar, and I hope to be a part of its story.” Franco said he would like to be remembered as someone who embraced Saudi culture wholeheartedly, built bridges between the Kingdom and the rest of the world, and showcased its warmth and social connections. “I’d like to think of myself as a part of Saudi’s ongoing journey.”
