WASHINGTON: Donald Trump has urged the United States Supreme Court to pause a federal TikTok law that would ban the popular social media app or force its sale, with the Republican US president-elect arguing that he should have time after taking office to pursue a "political resolution" to the issue. TikTok and its owner ByteDance are fighting to keep the popular app online in the US after Congress voted in April to ban it unless the app's Chinese parent company sells it by Jan 19. They have sought to have the law struck down and the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case. But if the court does not rule in ByteDance's favour and no divestment occurs, the app could be effectively banned in the US on Jan 19, one day before Trump takes office. "This case presents an unprecedented, novel, and difficult tension between free-speech rights on one side, and foreign policy and national security concerns on the other," Trump said in a filing on Friday (Dec 27). "Such a stay would vitally grant President Trump the opportunity to pursue a political resolution that could obviate the court's need to decide these constitutionally significant questions," the filing added. Free speech advocates separately told the Supreme Court on Friday that the US law against Chinese-owned TikTok evokes the censorship regimes put in place by the US' authoritarian enemies. Trump indicated earlier this week that he favoured allowing TikTok to keep operating in the US for at least a little while, saying he had received billions of views on the social media platform during his presidential campaign. The US Justice Department has argued that Chinese control of TikTok poses a continuing threat to national security, a position supported by most US lawmakers. TikTok says the Justice Department has misstated the social media app's ties to China, arguing that its content recommendation engine and user data are stored in the US on cloud servers operated by Oracle, while content moderation decisions that affect American users are made in the US as well.A year of mass attacks reveals anger and frustration in China

Famed conservationist and primatologist Jane Goodall, who turned 90 this year, is getting the biopic treatment at Appian Way and Disney. Speaking with , Goodall says she’s already given notes on an early draft of a script and will produce the film alongside Jennifer Davisson and Michael Hampton. No word as yet regarding who will play Goodall in the project The project is being penned by New Zealand author and screenwriter Eleanor Catton who won the Booker Prize for “The Luminaries” in 2013. Catton also penned the 2020 film adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Emma” starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Bill Nighy and Josh O’Connor. Goodall previously worked with Disney through their Disneynature label. A deal was then done between Disney, Appian and Goodall for her life rights. She’s considered the world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees, spending sixty years studying the social and family interactions of the creatures. She’s a United Nations Messenger of Peace and honorary member of the World Future Council. Goodall and Appian Way are also teaming up on the live-action film “How” about an abandoned dog and a wolf’s survival journey during a harsh Canadian winter. That film is in pre-production.Pep Guardiola has pledged to step aside if he fails to turn around Manchester City’s poor run of form. The City boss is enduring the worst run of his glittering managerial career after a six-game winless streak featuring five successive defeats and a calamitous 3-3 draw in a match his side had led 3-0. The 53-year-old, who has won 18 trophies since taking charge at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, signed a contract extension through to the summer of 2027 just over a week ago. Yet, despite his remarkable successes, he still considers himself vulnerable to the sack and has pleaded with the club to keep faith. “I don’t want to stay in the place if I feel like I’m a problem,” said the Spaniard, who watched in obvious frustration as City conceded three times in the last 15 minutes in a dramatic capitulation against Feyenoord in midweek. “I don’t want to stay here just because the contract is there. “My chairman knows it. I said to him, ‘Give me the chance to try come back’, and especially when everybody comes back (from injury) and see what happens. “After, if I’m not able to do it, we have to change because, of course, (the past) nine years are dead. “More than ever I ask to my hierarchy, give me the chance. “Will it be easy for me now? No. I have the feeling that still I have a job to do and I want to do it.” City have been hampered by a raft of injuries this term, most pertinently to midfield talisman and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri. The Euro 2024 winner is expected to miss the remainder of the season and his absence has been keenly felt over the past two months. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has also not started a match since September. The pressure continues to build with champions City facing a crucial trip to title rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday. Defeat would leave City trailing Arne Slot’s side by 11 points. “I don’t enjoy it at all, I don’t like it,” said Guardiola of his side’s current situation. “I sleep not as good as I slept when I won every game. “The sound, the smell, the perfume is not good enough right now. “But I’m the same person who won the four Premier Leagues in a row. I was happier because I ate better, lived better, but I was not thinking differently from who I am.” Guardiola is confident his side will not stop battling as they bid to get back on track. He said: “The people say, ‘Yeah, it’s the end of that’. Maybe, but we are in November. We will see what happens until the end. “What can you do? Cry for that? You don’t stay long – many, many years without fighting. That is what you try to look for, this is the best (way). “Why should we not believe? Why should it not happen with us?”
