Townsquare Capital LLC Acquires 1,521 Shares of Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY)NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Coach Brian Callahan is sticking with Mason Rudolph at quarterback for a second straight game to see if the Tennessee Titans can build on the veteran who's played in four of their highest scoring games this season. Callahan said Tuesday that he thinks Rudolph earned another chance to play despite a 38-30 loss to Indianapolis. “Obviously the one interception was probably his only really poor moment," Callahan said. "The rest of it was pretty well executed on his part and operated in a drop-back passing game and had to fight his way back through it. And it was good to see, so we’ll let him take another crack at it.” Rudolph is 2-4 in the six games he's played in this season. That includes coming in for an injured Will Levis on Sept. 30 in a 31-12 win at Miami , and he tried to rally the Titans in a turnover-plagued 37-27 loss to Cincinnati before being selected as the starter last week. Rudolph, who is in Tennessee on a one-year deal, was 23 of 34 for 252 yards with two touchdown passes and three interceptions. One went off running back Tony Pollard's hands with the final pick coming on the last play of the game after Rudolph led a rally from a 38-7 deficit in the final 18 minutes. Rudolph's ability to avoid sacks is a key piece of sticking with him over Levis, the 33rd pick overall in the 2023 draft. The quarterbacks' stats are similar with Rudolph having eight TD passes and eight interceptions, completing 63.8% of his passes with a 78.8 passer rating. That’s similar to Levis completing 63.7% of his passes with 12 TD passes and 12 interceptions. But Levis has been sacked 40 times compared to just seven for Rudolph. “He’s got the ability to avoid the negative play when it comes to sacks," Callahan said of Rudolph. “He gets the ball out. He knows where to go with it quickly.” That means Rudolph gets a chance Sunday when the Titans (3-12) visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-12) to see if he can guide the offense to more than the six points Levis managed against their AFC South rival in a 10-6 loss on Dec. 8 in Nashville. Rudolph said he knows he put the Titans defense in a bad spot with some turnovers. "I’m ready to prove that I can take care of the ball better and keep scoring points,” Rudolph said. The Titans held a walk-through Tuesday with Callahan giving the team Wednesday off for Christmas. An injury report won't be released until Wednesday, and Callahan said it'll likely be lengthy. RG Dillon Radunz, who was knocked out of last week's game with an injury, will be on that report. Lineman Jaelyn Duncan, who hurt a hamstring badly enough early in his first start at right tackle Oct. 20 that he wound up on injured reserve , will be available. Callahan said he is excited to see Duncan play. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
In a significant development amidst the ongoing Middle East crisis, US President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire, bringing an end to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Speaking from the White House’s Rose Garden, Biden outlined the terms of the agreement, which aims for a permanent cessation of hostilities and a pathway toward stability in the region. "Today, I have good news to report from the Middle East. I have spoken to the Prime Ministers of Lebanon and Israel. And I am pleased to announce: They have accepted the United States’ proposal to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah," the outgoing US President said. The ceasefire will take effect at 02:00 GMT (4:00 local time) on Wednesday. Over the following 60 days, the Lebanese army and state security forces will deploy across southern Lebanon, asserting control over their territory. Concurrently, Israeli forces will gradually withdraw, allowing displaced civilians on both sides to return to their communities and rebuild their lives. “This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” Biden said, emphasizing the US’s commitment to ensuring the deal is implemented effectively. He extended gratitude to French President Emmanuel Macron for his collaborative efforts in brokering the agreement. Biden stressed that the arrangement includes guarantees to prevent Hezbollah and other militant groups from threatening Israel’s security. He also reaffirmed if Hezbollah or any other party breaks the ceasefire deal, then Israel retains the right to self-defence “consistent with international law”. The US, with backing from France and other allies, will provide necessary assistance to both Israel and Lebanon to ensure the ceasefire holds. In his remarks, Biden also addressed the ongoing conflict in Gaza, highlighting the urgent need for peace. Biden stressed that the agreement “heralds a new start for Lebanon”. “Just as the Lebanese people deserve a future of security and prosperity, so do the people of Gaza,” Biden said. "People of Gaza have been through hell, their world is absolutely shattered," he added. Biden further noted that Hamas has refused for months to negotiate a good faith ceasefire and hostage deal, and said Hamas “has a choice to make”. "Hamas’s “only way out” is to release the remaining hostages and bring an end to the fighting, which would allow humanitarian relief into Gaza," the US President stated. "Over the coming days, the United States will make another push for Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Israel and others to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza," he added. Looking ahead, Biden reiterated his vision for a peaceful Middle East, including the establishment of a Palestinian state and normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Biden said today's announcement brings the world closer to realising his vision for a future of the Middle East in which Israelis and Palestinians can enjoy “equal measures of security, prosperity and dignity”, and where Palestinians “have a state of their own”. The US remains prepared to conclude a set of “historic” deals with Saudi Arabia to include a security pact and economic assurances, Biden added. He further highlighted that the US remains committed to creating a “credible pathway” for establishing a Palestinian state and the full normalisation of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Achieving this will require some “hard choices”, Biden noted. "Israel must be bold in turning tactical gains against Iran and its proxies into a coherent strategy that secures Israel’s long term safety, and advances a broader peace and prosperity in the region," the US President said. Biden concluded by commending the leadership in Lebanon and Israel for their decision to embrace peace. “It reminds us that peace is possible,” he said, calling the ceasefire a critical step toward long-term stability and prosperity in the region. As the world watches, the coming days will test the durability of this agreement and its potential to reshape the dynamics in the Middle East.
The Reform UK leader pushed back against reports suggesting that legal action would be the next step, saying he would make a decision in the next couple of days about his response if there is no apology for the “crazy conspiracy theory”. Mr Farage also said the party has “opened up our systems” to media outlets, including The Daily Telegraph and The Financial Times, in the interests of “full transparency to verify that our numbers are correct”. His remarks came after Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch accused Mr Farage of “fakery” in response to Reform claiming they had surpassed the Tories in signed-up members. Mrs Badenoch said Reform’s counter was “coded to tick up automatically”. A digital counter on the Reform website showed a membership tally before lunchtime on Boxing Day ticking past the 131,680 figure declared by the Conservative Party during its leadership election earlier this year. Mr Farage, on whether he was threatening legal action or not, told the PA news agency: “I haven’t threatened anything. I’ve just said that unless I get an apology, I will take some action. “I haven’t said whether it’s legal or anything.” He added: “All I’ve said is I want an apology. If I don’t get an apology, I will take action. “I will decide in the next couple of days what that is. So I’ve not specified what it is.” Mr Farage, on the move to make membership data available to media organisations, said: “We feel our arguments are fully validated. “She (Mrs Badenoch) has put out this crazy conspiracy theory and she needs to apologise.” The accusations of fraud and dishonesty made against me yesterday were disgraceful. Today we opened up our systems to The Telegraph, Spectator, Sky News & FT in the interests of full transparency to verify that our data is correct. I am now demanding @KemiBadenoch apologises. — Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) December 27, 2024 On why Mrs Badenoch had reacted as she did, Mr Farage said: “I would imagine she was at home without anybody advising her and was just angry.” Mr Farage, in a statement issued on social media site X, also said: “The accusations of fraud and dishonesty made against me yesterday were disgraceful. “Today we opened up our systems to The Telegraph, Spectator, Sky News and FT in the interests of full transparency to verify that our data is correct. “I am now demanding Kemi Badenoch apologises.” A Conservative Party source claimed Mr Farage was “rattled” that his Boxing Day “publicity stunt is facing serious questions”. They added: “Like most normal people around the UK, Kemi is enjoying Christmas with her family and looking forward to taking on the challenges of renewing the Conservative Party in the New Year.” Mrs Badenoch, in a series of messages posted on X on Thursday, said: “Farage doesn’t understand the digital age. This kind of fakery gets found out pretty quickly, although not before many are fooled.” There were 131,680 Conservative members eligible to vote during the party’s leadership election to replace Rishi Sunak in the autumn. Mrs Badenoch claimed in her thread that “the Conservative Party has gained thousands of new members since the leadership election”. Elsewhere, Mr Farage described Elon Musk as a “bloody hero” and said he believes the US billionaire can help attract younger voters to Reform. Tech entrepreneur Mr Musk met Mr Farage earlier this month at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, amid rumours of a possible donation to either Mr Farage or Reform. Mr Farage told The Daily Telegraph newspaper: “The shades, the bomber jacket, the whole vibe. Elon makes us cool – Elon is a huge help to us with the young generation, and that will be the case going on and, frankly, that’s only just starting. “Reform only wins the next election if it gets the youth vote. The youth vote is the key. Of course, you need voters of all ages, but if you get a wave of youth enthusiasm you can change everything. “And I think we’re beginning to get into that zone – we were anyway, but Elon makes the whole task much, much easier. And the idea that politics can be cool, politics can be fun, politics can be real – Elon helps us with that mission enormously.”Published 00:07 IST, December 9th 2024 A petition has been filed in Supreme Court seeking directions to Centre and others to immediately clear the blockage of national and state highways in Punjab. New Delhi: A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking directions to the Centre and others to immediately clear the blockage of national and state highways in Punjab where farmers are staging protests. Farmers under the banner of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha have been camping at Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13 after their march to Delhi was stopped by security forces. The plea, filed in the apex court by a social activist hailing from Punjab, also sought directions to the Centre and others to remove restrictions on farmers’ protests and to ensure that national highways and railway tracks are not blocked by the agitating farmers. It has alleged that farmers' and farmer unions have blocked the entire national and state highways in Punjab permanently and for an indefinite period. As per the cause list of December 9 uploaded on the apex court website, a bench headed by Justice Surya Kant is slated to hear the plea. "The alleged farmers and their farmer unions have blocked the national highway at the entry point of Punjab i.e. Shambu for more than one year and recently have blocked national and state highways in the entire state of Punjab at various locations on October 24, 2024," the plea said. It claimed the blockage of highways was a threat to national security as the entire Army movement towards the northern borders of the country passes through Punjab. "People of Punjab and neighbouring states are facing great difficulty as they are unable to reach hospitals on time in case of medical emergency, as even ambulances are being stopped from running on national and state highways in the entire state of Punjab," the plea said. It said free movement on highways comes under the fundamental right of the citizen, which is being violated by the farmers by blocking them in the entire state of Punjab. "The state of Punjab is being targeted by the foreign, external and anti-national forces with the intention to use alleged farmers and farmer unions to de-stable Punjab as Punjab is the backbone of the entire country and has a history of facing many attacks from neighbouring countries," the plea claimed.
