MAPUTO, Mozambique. (AP) — At least 6,000 inmates escaped from a high-security prison in Mozambique’s capital on Christmas Day after a rebellion, the country's police chief said, as widespread post-election riots and violence are roiling the country. Police chief Bernardino Rafael said 33 prisoners died and 15 others were injured during a confrontation with the security forces. The prisoners fled during violent protests that have seen police cars, stations and infrastructure destroyed after the country’s Constitutional Council confirmed the ruling Frelimo party as the winner of the Oct. 9 elections. The escape from the Maputo Central Prison, located 14 kilometers (9 miles) southwest of the capital, started around midday on Wednesday after “agitation” by a “group of subversive protesters” nearby, Rafael said. Some of the prisoners at the facility snatched weapons from the guards and started freeing other detainees. “A curious fact is that in that prison we had 29 convicted terrorists, who they released. We are worried, as a country, as Mozambicans, as members of the defense and security forces,” said Rafael. “They (protesters) were making noise, demanding that they be able to remove the prisoners who are there serving their sentences”, said Rafael, adding that the protests led to the collapse of a wall, allowing the prisoners to flee. He called on the escaped prisoners to surrender to authorities and for the population to be informed about the fugitives. Videos circulating on social media show the moment inmates left the prison, while other recordings reveal captures made by military personnel and prison guards. Many prisoners tried to hide in homes, but some were unsuccessful and ended up being detained again. In one video, a prisoner still with handcuffs on his right wrist says he was held n the disciplinary section of the prison and was released by other inmates.

On 23rd December, India celebrates the National Farmer’s Day or the Rashtriya Kisan Diwas to commemorate the significant contribution of farmers, the backbone of Indian economy and rural prosperity. Rashtriya Kisan Divas is observed to mark the birth anniversary of Late Chaudhary Charan Singh, India’s fifth Prime Minister. The day is popular amongst India’s agricultural and farming states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and others. In India, the day marks the contributions of Chaudhary Charan Singh to the agriculture sector and welfare of farmers. Almost 50% of the population of the country is dependent on agriculture. And that is why National Farmer’s Day was recognised by the 10th government of independent India in 2001. Contributions of Chaudhary Charan Singh An Indian politician and a freedom fighter, Chaudhary Charan Singh was born in Meerut. After completing his studies, Singh entered politics as part of the Indian Independence Movement under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. In the following years, he was jailed twice by the British government. Singh remained a Congress person for most of this time. But during the national emergency, imposed by Indira Gandhi between 1975 to 1977, Chaudhary Charan Singh became part of an emergency opposing political movement led by Morarji Desai. Under the name of ‘Janata Party’, the movement became the first, other than the Indian National Congress, to form a government in Uttar Pradesh. And Charan Singh became the first non-congress chief minister in Northern India. Desai’s political movement defeated the Congress in 1977 general elections to elect Morarji Desai as the Prime Minister of the post emergency India. By 1979, the Janata Party started splitting because of loyalty of some of its members towards the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organisation. During this time, Murari Desai resigned, and Singh was appointed the Prime Minister. His government was supported by Indira Gandhi’s Congress party, the same leader against whom Singh signed an arrest order as the union home minister. But this sport came with a cost. Indira Gandhi had conditions for supporting Singh. And the conditions were to drop all charges against her and son Sanjay Gandhi. Charan Singh decided to not agree to the conditions, and had to resign just after 23 days of Prime Ministership. This made him the only Prime Minister of the country to never face a Parliament session. Charan Singh continued as the caretaker Prime Minister until January 1980. In 1979, Singh founded the Lok Dal in 1979. He led Lok Dal until his death in 1987. His last remains rest at Kisan Ghat in Delhi. Champion of Farmers Chaudhary Charan Singh left behind a rich legacy of agricultural landscape in India. With his instrumental role in piloting pro-formal legislations, like the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reform Act of 1950, he became the chief architect of land reforms in Uttar Pradesh. His formulation of the Debt Redemption Bill in 1939 eased the burden of debt on the agricultural community of India. As the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Charan Singh enacted the Land Holding Act of 1960 that aimed at lowering the ceiling on land holdings. This called for a uniform land sharing system across the state, promoting fair distribution and addressing disparities in land ownership. Because of his contributions to the agricultural society, Chaudhary Charan Singh was posthumously honoured with the Bharat Ratna in 2024. On This Day On 24th December, the Rashtriya Kisan Diwas is observed to recognise the sacrifice and efforts of the farming community of India. The day is used to campaign for digital literacy, economic independence and technological knowledge sharing in the field of agriculture.

First-year Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey understands his team’s recent shortcomings in pursuing some of baseball’s biggest and most iconic names. The Giants, as many know, always seem to find themselves in the race for MLB’s superstar free agents and international prospects but never end up landing them in San Francisco . Watch NBC Bay Area News 📺 Streaming free 24/7 In appearing on The Athletic’s “Starkville” podcast with Jayson Stark and Doug Glanville, Posey explained the lessons the Giants have learned from missing out on free agents such as Shohei Ohtani , Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa in recent offseasons. “I think for me, the lesson is -- or maybe it’s not even a lesson -- if you have an opportunity to after that type of caliber player -- what’s the alternative, right? If you’re not going after them, then you’re definitely not getting them at that point,” Posey told Stark and Glanville. “I know there’s a sense with the fanbase, some frustrations on not being able to go land those guys. But from my seat [and] what I can tell the last couple years is really putting a strong foot forward. “I think ownership -- again, from my vantage point -- made it very clear the priority to try to target those types of players. And unfortunately, it just didn’t work out. So, we look at this, we’re trying to build a complete team. [We] go into this offseason looking at some areas where we feel like there might be holes. I’m a big believer in pitching and defense...” Posey didn’t point any fingers at his predecessor, Farhan Zaidi, but the retired catcher remained honest. San Francisco has tried to contend for MLB’s stars and it just hasn’t worked out thus far. Last offseason, the Giants signed third baseman Matt Chapman , pitcher Blake Snell , center-fielder Jung Hoo Lee and slugger Jorge Soler . But San Francisco’s acquisitions didn’t match that of their NL West rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who signed Ohtani and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto en route to their 2024 World Series victory. Superstar right fielder Juan Soto , followed by pitchers Corbin Burnes , Roki Sasaki and Snell, of course, headline the current free-agent class. Posey made it clear that his phone is on at all hours, and his eyes are monitoring the globe for upgrades. “You’re exploring all avenues and angles,” Posey said. “There’s unquestionably an immense amount of talent coming from the international side, so there’s no question we want our hat in the ring there, and we’re going to try our best to convince those great talents to come to San Francisco.” Despite the Giants’ 80-82 record in 2024, Posey also is confident in what the current roster offers. He cited San Francisco’s pitching, particularly the youngsters, as something the Giants laboriously will ride next season. “I’m really excited about some of the young arms we have,” Posey said. “Obviously, [Logan] Webb leading the way; Robbie Ray’s not a young arm at this point, but I think we’re expecting big things from him coming back this year, being a couple years removed from injury; Hayden Birdsong , Landen Roup , Kyle Harrison , we got Keaton Winn , Tristan Beck ; there’s some really quality arms. “I think for us to make a big leap, we’re going to have to rely on some of these younger arms to carry some of the bulk for us.” Perhaps Posey will focus internally on pitching upgrades. Still, all options are on the table for San Francisco and its first-year decision-maker. And recent shortcomings with big-time free agents won’t keep Posey and the Giants from shooting their shot and staying invested. San Francisco very well could look different come Opening Day of the 2025 MLB season. Download and follow the Giants Talk Podcast

More info The increasing burden to employers in the form of national insurance was discussed in a motion at the final North Lanarkshire Council meeting of 2024. With the UK Government’s October budget increasing employer contributions to 15 per cent, and reducing earning thresholds, SNP councillor for Kilsyth Denis Johnston presented a motion at full council. This highlighted that the council faced an additional cost of around £11 million which was likely to impact many organisations including those providing education, health and social care services, while the total cost in Scotland would be in the region of £750 million.

The council’s SNP group tabled an amendment from finance convener Andrew Duffy-Lawson (Motherwell North) who thanked the SNP for bringing this debate to the meeting. He then praised the UK Labour government for making record investment in Scotland, promising a prosperous future for its residents with the largest payment to the Scottish Government since devolution began and a pay increase for the lowest paid. However he added that investment requires funding, then highlighted the SNP’s track record of rejecting tax raising measures without proposing viable alternatives. Referring to his own experience working in the charity sector, he acknowledged that the changes to national insurance would create a burden but the services highlighted in the motion depended on well funded public services, before highlighting assurances from the Chancellor that support would be in place to assist with the increased national insurance. In the final vote of the year, the amendment won out over the motion with 34 votes to 23 with seven abstentions. *Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.
