Arsenal make Mikel Arteta proud after smashing Sporting LisbonJade Cargill is out of action. Dave Metlzer is reporting that Cargill being written out of storylines on SmackDown was to cover for an actual injury. It isn’t known how severe the injury is. “We did get confirmation that Cargill is injured but the severity wasn’t known internally past those involved in creative were told it will be a minimum of three months out, maybe longer, which is why they released the story of such severe injuries,” Meltzer wrote in the Sunday Daily Update . Friday’s show in Salt Lake City saw Cargill being shown unconscious after she was seemingly thrown into a windshield backstage. WWE later posted a social media update announcing that Cargill had suffered a number of injuries, including “deep lumbar paraspinal muscle contusions, a bruised kidney, a sprained MCL in her right knee, a tibial plateau bone bruise of her right knee, and facial lacerations.” Cargill was originally set to be part of the Women’s WarGames match set for Survivor Series this weekend. She will instead be replaced ahead of the match. Source

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyan military officials said Monday they apprehended hundreds of migrants traversing the country’s vast desert hoping to ultimately cross the Mediterranean Sea in pursuit of a better life in Europe. The 444 Brigade, a powerful militia group that operates under the auspices of the Libyan army, said in a statement that its patrolling commanders detained more than 300 migrants and referred them to authorities. The group in a post on Facebook condemned smuggling and human trafficking and said its patrols would continue efforts to block smuggling routes. It posted satellite images of the desert and pictures of what appeared to be migrants sitting in rows in front of armed and masked militants. The apprehensions come as Libya remains a primary point of departure for men, women and children from the Middle East and Africa aiming to reach Europe. Many are escaping war or poverty and many employ smugglers to help them negotiate treacherous deserts and sea routes. Roughly 38,000 people have arrived in Italy and Malta from Libya this year, according to UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency. The overcrowded boats used by migrants and smugglers are known to routinely capsize and a key priority for European leaders has been to encourage North African countries to prevent migrants from reaching the sea. But unlike in Morocco and Tunisia — where tens of thousands of migrants also attempt to pass through en route to the southern shores of Europe — fighting between rival governments in Libya has added additional challenges to migration management partnerships. Migrant apprehensions are rarely reported in Libya, though the country’s state news service LANA reported more than 2,000 arrests in July. plunged into turmoil after a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Since then, the country has been divided between dueling governments in the east and west, each backed by militias and foreign powers. Human traffickers have for years benefited from the political chaos. United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in July said migrants in the country had been subjected to torture, forced labor and starvation while being detained.

Many Minnesota business leaders worry that President-elect Donald Trump’s call for new tariffs on goods from China, Mexico and Canada will spark a trade dispute that ultimately hit consumers’ pocketbooks, disrupt supply chains and hurt the state’s economy. Canada, Mexico and China make up 55% of Minnesota’s fast-growing $7 billion export market. Unless the tariffs are “isolated” to address a specific “unlevel playing field” — similar to past cheaply dumped steel or candles from China — there will be an “inflationary impact, supply chain disruptions, and ultimately, it could create retaliation against U.S. products, which would hurt our export markets to those same countries,” said Doug Loon, chief executive of the 6,300-member Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. Trump on Monday said that on the first day of his presidency he would increase tariffs 10% on Chinese goods and add a new 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada. “Target is a big importer, and they’ll definitely feel the impact of these tariffs. And then we have Cargill, who is a great importer and exporter for that matter,” Loon said. Food giants General Mills and Cargill are also expected to feel some pain, depending on how the details shake out. Hormel exports Spam to Canada. 3M shuttles its Scotch tape, Nexus bandages, Filtrete Air Filters and Post-it Notes from Minnesota to Canada. And Medina-based Polaris sells four-wheelers, motorcycles and boats in Canada and has a factory in Monterrey, Mexico. Cleveland-Cliffs sells taconite to Canada. Many companies use aluminum and materials imported from Canada. So the reach of any tariffs could be wide spread. On Best Buy’s earnings call on Tuesday, CEO Corie Barry said about 60% of Best Buy’s products or parts come from China and that Mexico is the Richfield-based giant’s second-largest supplier. So Best Buy could feel the pinch of tariffs more than other retailers , she said. “Typically, it results in a higher price point for the consumer, which doesn’t help in our collective battle we’re waging against inflation,” Barry said. The supply chains for consumer electronics “are incredibly complex” with just a fraction of the industry based in the U.S. Many of Best Buy’s vendors are now meeting with members of Trump’s future administration to explain what the impacts might be, she said. Best Buy will likely need to ship more products ahead of the time the tariffs take effect. Yet, planning is hard, experts said, because there are not many details yet on final policy language. In addition, they said, Trump said he would be willing to negotiate if the three countries take steps to slow the flow of undocumented immigrants and illegal drugs into the United States. “We can’t speculate on the potential impact of proposed tariffs,” Gabrielle Gerbaud, executive director of the Minnesota Trade Office, said in an emailed statement. “Tariffs are highly complex and specific. We don’t know what the specific plans are and what the tariffs would apply to. That means we don’t know how these tariffs might relate to certain materials, components or products the U.S. imports from Canada and Mexico. We also don’t know whether or how these countries might apply countermeasures to U.S. tariffs.” Until there are details, it’s hard to predict what countermeasures the other countries might take, she said. Several officials representing U.S. manufacturers said privately they need to see the final details of the tariff plans. Other companies, including 3M, Polaris and Ecolab, did not return calls seeking comment. Medical Alley, which represents Minnesota’s massive medical device industry, said its officials are “still reviewing this proposal and waiting to see more specific language on it.” Optical and medical products are Minnesota’s largest exports as of the second quarter, so tensions are high. Minnesota firms exported $1.22 billion worth of optic and medical products in the second fiscal quarter. That’s up 17% from 2023, according to the state’s Department of Employment and Economic Development. Behemoth medical-technology companies such as Medtronic, Boston Scientific and Abbott Laboratories employ tens of thousands here. And the state is home to a community of medical technology startups. GlobalData, an analytics company, projected Trump’s tariff plans would affect prices on about 75% of all the medical devices marketed in the United States and made in other countries. Tinglong Dai, professor at Johns Hopkins University’s business school, said he believes Trump’s tariff talk is simply a negotiation tactic meant to trigger a conversation about drug trafficking and immigration. But even if the tariffs do not materialize, Dai said the threat will make medical device executives nervous because “they cannot take uncertainty: They will actually take steps to (reconfigure) their global supply chains.” That’s true of manufacturers in all industries and retailers in Minnesota, said Kingshuk Sinha, supply chain management professor at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. Because the impact of tariffs could be wide-ranging, he advises each business sector — from agriculture to medtech and retail — to identify their largest and most vulnerable product imports and devise a group plan. “The global industry giants, the 3Ms, Polaris, Tennants and Donaldsons of the world can hang together” to protect themselves on trade matters. Their collective voice, he said, will be stronger and more effective than if they work separately on plans to mitigate the effects of the possible tariffs. Includes reporting from staff writer Brooks Johnson.WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors moved Monday to dismiss the criminal charges against President-elect Donald Trump that accused him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election and to abandon the classified documents case against him, citing longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. The decision by special counsel Jack Smith, who had fiercely sought to hold Trump criminally accountable for his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, represented the end of the federal effort against the former president following his election victory this month despite the election-related cases and multiple other unrelated criminal charges against him and is headed back to the White House. The decision, revealed in court filings, also amounts to a predictable but nonetheless stunning conclusion to criminal cases that had been seen as the most perilous of the multiple legal threats Trump has faced. It reflects the practical consequences of Trump’s victory, ensuring he enters office free from scrutiny over his hoarding of top secret documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Smith’s team emphasized that the move to abandon the prosecutions, in federal courts in Washington and Florida, was not a reflection of their view on the merits of the cases but rather a reflection of their commitment to longstanding department policy. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in Monday’s court filing in the election interference case. The decision was expected after Smith's team began assessing how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case in the wake of Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The Justice Department believes Trump can no longer be tried in accordance with longstanding policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted. Trump has cast both cases as politically motivated, and had vowed to fire Smith as soon as he takes office in January. The 2020 election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing the Republican as he vied to reclaim the White House. But it quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Smith’s team in October filed a lengthy brief laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of using “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will of voters after he lost to Biden. How N.J. voted in the 2024 presidential election Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris won New Jersey's 14 Electoral College votes but her performance against Republican former President Donald Trump trailed President Biden's victory in 2020.

Ottawa mayor Mark Sutcliffe says he's disappointed in the amount of "misinformation" surrounding a plan to erect tent-like structures to accommodate hundreds of migrants in the city, a proposal that has been suggested to alleviate the city's overburdened shelter system. Sutcliffe spoke on a variety of issues in a year-end interview with CTV News, including the migrant crisis affecting municipalities across the country. Ottawa continues to face significant challenges in accommodating newcomers and refugees in the city, with a lack of temporary and permanent housing adding pressure to immigration support services and shelters. The city has proposed building at least one modular structure to be used as a newcomer reception centre at 1645 Woodroffe Ave. by the end of 2025 that could sleep up to 150 people inside. A second site in Kanata, at the Eagleson Park and Ride, would be used if the Woodroffe site proves insufficient to meet demand. The issue has proven to be polarizing, with some residents organizing large protests in opposition to the structures, raising concerns over crime and a lack of support services available in their neighbourhoods. An information session held last month to describe the project erupted into chaos after a man rushed the stage during the presentation. When asked if he regretted the way the city handled the communication with residents on the structures, Sutcliffe reiterated his support of the proposal, calling the current migrant situation "untenable" with local community centres being closed to temporarily support migrants and shelters that are at capacity. "I'm not happy about the amount of misinformation that's out there about what's going on. This is not a municipal responsibility. It's not municipal dollars that are going towards this solution. It's a federal issue and we're simply the people who are providing the solution because somebody has to," he said. "We can't have people sleeping outside, we can't have people sleeping in community centres. We need to return those community centres to those neighbourhoods and have a proper welcome centre for new arrivals to the country." He said there are several solutions in place for newcomers in many different parts of the city. "We are here simply to provide support and services to whatever new arrivals come into Ottawa so we're in a challenging position. We don't get to make the decisions about immigration, but we are here to respond to what is a migrant crisis around the world," he said. The City of Ottawa says there are 600 asylum seekers currently using Ottawa's shelter spaces. City staff say the newcomer reception centre is "intended to provide a more dignified option for newcomers who are currently sleeping on bunk beds in recreational facilities that have not been designed for human habitation." The planned structure is expected to have on-site services such as translation and asylum claim assistance. Residents would be able to stay inside the structures for up to 90 days, where they will be offered services to effectively transition into the community. If permanent housing has not been secured after 90 days, clients will move to other transitional housing facilities. Sutcliffe says city staff continue to work on a plan to open the first structure in early 2025 but says federal dollars will be needed to pay for it. He says only a small amount of municipal funds will be used for infrastructure needs. 'A long way to go' for ByWard Market revitalization, housing starts The mayor also spoke on plans to revitalize the ByWard Market ahead of its 200th birthday in 2027. The city is undertaking a $129 million plan to guide the market's evolution as business owners and residents continue to express concerns over homelessness and public safety in the area. Sutcliffe says he has heard positive feedback from business owners but said there is still work to be done. "We're making progress, but we still have a long way to go. We all want the ByWard Market to be what it was in the past — a real gathering place for the city, a real source of pride," he said. The provincial government announced earlier this month that it would be investing $20 million into the market, which includes funds to transform William Street into a pedestrian-only corridor and developing a "cultural and entertainment district." The Ottawa Police Service unveiled its new CORE strategy this year, which included the opening of a new police hub in the Rideau Centre and increased foot-patrols in certain crime "hot spots." The ByWard Market District Authority unveiled a new synthetic skating rink and winter market this year to attract residents to the area during the holiday season. Housing a priority for the city When asked what other issues he will be focused on this year, Sutcliffe said housing was top of mind for him and a big priority for the city while adding that more work needs to be done to build more. While the latest statistics have shown a boost in housing starts this year, the number of new homes under construction in the capital is 14 per cent lower than last year, according to a CMHC report. Housing experts have blamed the problem on higher interest rates in recent years and an increase in development fees for builders. "It's a very challenging, complicated file but we need to do more work to streamline our processes at the city of Ottawa and make it easier for homes to be approved," Sutcliffe said. "At the same time, we need the developers to build the homes that have already been approved. We've approved tens of thousands of homes of homes already that are still not being built by the developers that own those properties." When will the skateway open? The top-of-mind question for many residents this year is whether the Rideau Canal will be open for skating this winter. Sutcliffe wouldn't speculate on an opening date but said he hopes there will be more skating this year than the past two seasons. "Theres no question that that's become a big issue," he said. "It's amazing to me when I meet people from all over the world, one of the things they identify with Ottawa is the Rideau Canal and being able to skate on it during the winter. It's a real shame that we have only been able to have it open for a few days the last two winters." Sutcliffe says the city has faced several challenges this year but said he's optimistic about the future. He added he was proud of the amount of collaboration and consensus on city council, noting it has been better than previous terms. "I promised in 2022 that I would work very hard for the people of Ottawa every single day – I've done that. We've faced some big challenges this year, but we've accomplished a lot working together," he said. "At this time of year, I'm reflecting on how lucky I am to be the mayor, how lucky we are to live in Ottawa. It's a wonderful, kind, generous community."

The New Jersey Lottery is still required by law to withhold state and federal taxes from certain prizes awarded. The New Jersey Lottery also shares the identity of winners with other State agencies, and claims are reviewed for collection of unpaid obligations such as child support, student loan arrearages, and back taxes. The New Jersey lottery says that the winner of the 1.2 billion dollar prize will walk away with $537.5 million before state and federal taxes are taken.
