Hamilton Insurance's chief accounting officer sells $335,650 in stockSean “Diddy” Combs will remain in jail after a judge rejected his latest attempt for release while the rapper and music producer awaits trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs’ team’s motion for release on Wednesday. His decision followed a two-hour court hearing on Friday where he appeared to explore potential options and questioned prosecutors’ allegation that Combs continued to obstruct the ongoing investigation. “The Court finds that the government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community,” the judge wrote in a five-page order. CNN has reached out to representatives for Combs for comment. Federal prosecutors argued that Combs could not be trusted on bail because he flouted the rules of the jail and judge. They said he posed a danger to women and was tampering with witnesses – even while in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center. Prosecutors allege Combs tried to evade law enforcement monitoring by using several techniques, including three-way calling, to contact witnesses. They also accused him of violating the judge’s own order limiting communications and ignored his lawyers’ guidance in part by orchestrating a social media campaign around his birthday to try to influence the potential jury pool. The judge pointed to evidence that Combs was not following the jail rules – including the continued use of a messaging service – in his decision. “Underscoring the Court’s concern, despite defense counsel’s assurances to the Court at the November 22, 2024 hearing (with Combs in attendance) that Combs stopped using ContactMeASAP as of November 16, 2024, ... the government indicates that Combs has continued to use this service as recently as this past Sunday, November 24, 2024.” His attorneys have relentlessly pursued his release from federal custody, arguing that private security would provide more restrictions on Combs than federal jail. They said Combs needed to be free to help prepare his defense against the criminal charges and roughly 30 civil lawsuit alleging sexual abuse. His attorneys identified a three-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side where they argued he would be surrounded by security 24/7 to monitor visits and phone calls. Under their proposed bail package, Combs would also post a $50 million bond. During Friday’s hearing the judge scoffed at the suggestion that Combs could stay at his home in Miami with a boat dock, saying that’s “not going to work.” The hip-hop mogul was arrested in September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and prostitution-related charges. He has pleaded not guilty and will go to trial on May 5. Combs was previously denied bail by two other federal judges who found there were no conditions that would assure them that he wouldn’t try to obstruct the investigation or be a threat to the community. Combs initially appealed one of those rulings and then asked the appeals court to put that on hold while tried again with Judge Subramanian, who was transferred the case.80 jili 。

Trump selects longtime adviser Keith Kellogg as special envoy for Ukraine and Russia

Trump selects longtime adviser Keith Kellogg as special envoy for Ukraine and RussiaBitcoin is at the doorstep of $100,000 as post-election rally rolls on NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, rising above $98,000 for the first time Thursday. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks. Penn State wins trademark case over retailer's use of vintage logos, images WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Penn State has won a closely watched trademark fight over an online retailer’s use of its vintage logos and images. A Pennsylvania jury awarded Penn State $28,000 in damages earlier this week over products made and sold by the firms Vintage Brand and Sportswear Inc. Penn State accused them of selling “counterfeit” clothing and accessories without the university’s permission, while the defendants argued that the vintage images were in the public domain. At least a dozen other schools have sued the defendants on similar grounds, but the Penn State case was the first to go to trial. Has a waltz written by composer Frederic Chopin been discovered in an NYC museum? NEW YORK (AP) — A previously unknown musical work written by composer Frederic Chopin appears to have been found in a library in New York City. The Morgan Library & Museum says the untitled and unsigned piece is the first new manuscript of the Romantic era virtuoso to be discovered in nearly a century. Robinson McClellan, the museum’s curator, says he stumbled across the work in May while going through a collection brought to the Manhattan museum years earlier. He worked with outside experts to verify the document's authenticity. But there’s debate whether the waltz is an original Chopin work or merely one written in his hand. Volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupts for the 7th time in a year GRINDAVIK, Iceland (AP) — A volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland is spewing lava from a fissure in its seventh eruption since December. Iceland's seismic monitors said the eruption started with little warning late Wednesday and created a long fissure but looked to be smaller than eruptions in August and May. Around 50 houses were evacuated after the Civil Protection agency issued the alert, along with guests at the famous Blue Lagoon resort, according to the national broadcaster. The repeated eruptions over the past year have caused damage to the town of Grindavík and forced people to relocate. Australian teen and British woman who drank tainted alcohol in Laos have died, bringing toll to 5 VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) — An Australian teenager and a British woman have died after drinking tainted alcohol in Laos in what Australia’s prime minister said was every parent’s nightmare.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Parliament that 19-year-old Bianca Jones had died after being evacuated from Vang Vieng, Laos, for treatment in a Thai hospital. Her friend, also 19, remains hospitalized in Thailand. Later Thursday, Britain said a British woman also died and the media in the U.K. identified her as 28-year-old Simone White. US ahead in AI innovation, easily surpassing China in Stanford's new ranking The U.S. leads the world in developing artificial intelligence technology, surpassing China in research and other important measures of AI innovation, according to a newly released Stanford University index. There’s no surefire way to rank global AI leadership but Stanford researchers have made an attempt by measuring the “vibrancy” of the AI industry across a variety of dimensions, from how much research and investment is happening to how responsibly the technology is being pursued to prevent harm. Following the U.S. and China were the United Kingdom, India and the United Arab Emirates.

Ipswich CEO Mark Ashton tells a Soccerex industry event in Miami: “Ed jumped on a Zoom call with him at the training ground, just before he stepped on stage with Taylor Swift.

Running back J.K. Dobbins will “miss some time” with a left knee injury suffered in Monday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens , Chargers coach Jim Harbaug h said Wednesday, but the team’s top rusher who suffered a gruesome knee injury in 2021 appears to have avoided another long-term setback. The running back suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament, according to ESPN, which reported Dobbins is expected to miss at least Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. When asked whether he expected the 25-year-old former Ohio State star to be sidelined long term or be headed for injured reserve, Harbaugh, who rarely discusses injuries, said he didn’t know. Dobbins leads the Chargers with 766 yards rushing — which ranks fourth in the AFC — on 158 carries and was a leading candidate for comeback player of the year after battling back from knee and Achilles injuries over the last three seasons. Gus Edwards, who has rushed for 93 yards on 25 carries in three games since returning from injured reserve, will now carry the load in the backfield. Dobbins’ injury also could open the door again for rookie Kimani Vidal, who capitalized on Edwards’ injury to score a touchdown on his first NFL touch against the Denver Broncos. The former sixth-round pick has rushed for 44 yards on 18 carries with three catches for 49 yards, but has been inactive in the last three games since Edwards returned. Dobbins left Monday’s game late in the second quarter after being tackled for no gain on a rush up the middle. After being examined in the injury tent and going back to the locker room, Dobbins stood on the sideline during the second half without visible braces or supports. The injury was another blow to the Chargers’ inconsistent rushing game that finished with just 83 yards Monday. Dobbins and Edwards combined for 26 yards on five carries during the Chargers’ opening, nine-play, 70-yard touchdown drive against the Ravens. Running backs combined for just 11 carries for the rest of the game. After Dobbins left, the Chargers ran just four designed runs. Edwards finished with 11 yards rushing in nine carries and a one-yard touchdown. The Chargers average 118.1 yards rushing per game, which ranks 13th in the NFL. Between pro stops in San Francisco, Buffalo, Baltimore and now L.A., offensive coordinator Greg Roman never has had a rushing offense rank lower than eighth in the league in yards. Cornerback Cam Hart (ankle/concussion) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (groin) did not practice Wednesday after they both missed Monday’s game. Tight end Will Dissly and safety Alohi Gilman also missed practice. ... Cornerback Eli Apple, who suffered a hamstring injury Monday, was place on injured reserve. In a corresponding move, the Chargers claimed safety Marcus Maye off waivers. He played in 11 games this season for the Miami Dolphins, including three starts. He had 30 tackles, 13 of them solo.'You're an idiot': Santa wannabe gets stuck in chimney trying to evade police

Amaravati: The government of Andhra Pradesh will formulate a maritime policy to transform the state into a maritime hub taking advantage of a long coastline. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday directed the officials to prepare a policy that can transform the 1,053 km long coastline. He told a review meeting that the government’s vision is to take Andhra Pradesh to the level of a world-class maritime state by developing the coastal line with innovative methods creating the necessary infrastructure for sustainable economic growth through efficient governance. The officials informed the Chief Minister that the maritime policy has four components – port development, ship-building cluster, associated maritime activities, and port proximal area development. Focus areas on all these four items have already been identified. Chandrababu Naidu directed the officials to mainly focus on developing high-capacity ports by adopting a hub and spoke model, connecting the port proximal areas with departments of Industries, tourism, Roads and Buildings (R&B), linking all the three industrial corridors in the state for future development, making the people as partners for providing basic amenities, encourage the P-4 model for the development of ports and harbors and also attract the world-level companies to set up ship-building and ship repair units in the state. The Chief Minister wants the tourism and green energy programmes in the maritime sectors to be integrated, the establishment of a maritime university in the state along with making Indian Maritime University and IITs as partners for sharpening the skills of youth. The Chief Minister also told the officers to introduce radical reforms in this sector for best practices, arbitration and dispute resolution mechanisms. He also stressed the need to strengthen the Andhra Pradesh Maritime Board to achieve these goals. The officers brought to the notice of the Chief Minister that the state holds second rank in the country in the category of non-major ports with a growth of 16 per cent in EXIM (Export and Import) cargo handling. The state acquired first place in the export of seafood products last year with a 32 per cent growth rate. The state currently has one major port in Visakhapatnam, five non-major ports, four green-field ports that are under construction and seven other ports which have been notified.None

The ministry further advised that footage from JamaicaEye cameras in the vicinity of the incident is available and is being utilised in the ongoing investigations by the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF). The clarification follows earlier statements from Porfolio Minister Dr Horace Chang who had noted that a significant number of cameras on the JamaicaEye surveillance network are down while responding to a question posed at a town hall meeting in the parish on Wednesday. The minister had cited maintenance as the primary issue. However, in a statement on Friday, the ministry noted that while some cameras in the Santa Cruz area are currently offline due to technical challenges arising from maintenance delays, the cameras close to the latest stabbing incident were operational at the time. The ministry further assured the public that efforts are far advanced to fully restore the systems that are down. In the meantime, the ministry said it is deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence and is reaffirming its commitment to providing the requisite resources including technology assets such as JamaicaEye, to enhance the investigative and intelligence capacity of law enforcement in their pursuit of criminal elements across the country. READ: WATCH: Significant number of JamaicaEye cameras down, says ChangLIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Kylian Mbappe hoped his move to Real Madrid would finally see him end his wait to win the Champions League. Instead, the France international and defending champion Madrid are in danger of being eliminated from European club soccer’s elite tournament at the first stage after Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool leaves them in a fight just to make the playoffs for the next round. And if Madrid does make an early exit, Mbappe may look back on a miserable night at Anfield where he was humbled by a young defender and then missed a penalty that would have leveled the score. World Cup winner Mbappe looked a shadow of himself against a Liverpool team that leads the way in the Premier League and the Champions League this season. He was brought crashing down by a crunching tackle from 21-year-old right back Conor Bradley when threatening to burst through on goal in the first half — sparking a huge cheer from the home crowd. It got worse for Mbappe after the break when he had the chance to make it 1-1 from the penalty spot after Alexis Mac Allister had given six-time European champion Liverpool the lead. But with Caoimhin Kelleher to beat, he saw his effort pushed away by Liverpool’s back-up goalkeeper. Mohamed Salah also missed a spot kick of his own, but substitute Cody Gakpo doubled the home team’s advantage. Record 15-time European Cup winner Madrid is 24th in the new-look 36-team league phase of the Champions League. The to the round of 16, while teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a playoff. Victory saw new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot manage something his predecessor Jurgen Klopp never could by beating Real in the Champions League. His team extended its perfect record in the competition and is top of the standings after five games. Each team plays eight games in the opening phase. Madrid plays Atalanta next month and Liverpool faces Girona. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:He's only been in charge at Manchester United for one match, but Ruben Amorim has already spotted a major area for improvement within the team and reportedly has a shortlist with four strikers on it for the club to pursue in the January transfer window. The former Sporting CP manager finally arrived in England earlier this month and oversaw his team's 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town at the weekend. Despite an early goal from Marcus Rashford, the Englishman struggled and the coach has pinpointed his forward line as something that needs to be improved and for good reason. After 12 matches in the league, only Everton (10), Crystal Palace (10) and Southampton (9) have scored less than the Red Devils (13). As a result, the manager is keen to bolster his attack at the first possible opportunity and according to a report from Sky Sports Germany, there are four possible strikers on the radar , including one 'world class' forward. Manchester United's Four Targets With United keen to add firepower to the side, they've been linked with four very impressive names. Firstly, it's been reported that the club are interested in Victor Osimhen . The forward, described as 'world class' by Jose Mourinho , has been tearing defences apart during his loan spell with Galatasaray in Turkey and the Red Devils could come calling for him once the winter transfer window opens in just over a month. He has a £67.7m release clause , but considering his situation with Napoli, the Serie A side may be prepared to sell him for a little cheaper. He's not the only name on their list, though. Amorim's side are also keeping an eye on Osimhen's national teammate, Victor Boniface. The Nigerian was in blistering form last season as Bayer Leverkusen went unbeaten in the league and lifted their first ever Bundesliga title. He's picked up where he left off too, with eight goals to his name already. The current Man United squad has been branded ‘not good enough’. Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani is also apparently a person of interest for United chiefs. Despite his less than stellar form in France, the Red Devils are high on the forward and he's a name they're considering ahead of January. The final name on their list is Omar Marmoush who actually replaced Kolo Muani at Frankfurt when he moved to PSG. The forward is second to only Harry Kane in terms of goals scored in the Bundesliga this season. He's hit the back of the net 14 times in 17 appearances across all competitions and has 24 goal contributions in total so far. The list offers a wide variety of strikers for United to consider with each man offering something very different than the rest if they were to be brought to England.
