Nat'l Assembly set to vote on special counsel probe bill into Yoon's insurrection charges

Arsenal have confirmed that they have opened an investigation after youth kit man Mark Bonnick was accused of posting antisemitic comments on social media. Bonnick works within the Gunners' academy and it is alleged that an account on X, which has his name and photograph, has been involved in a series of exchanges with members of the Jewish community. The accusations come amid an armed conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups which is taking place in the Gaza Strip. On December 4, the account which is believed to belong to Bonnick, in response to someone, posted: "Hamas offered to release all hostages in October. Zionist Israel refused. Persecution complex." Three days later, a post read: "Why should they be protected any more than any other community? Some see this as the problem Jewish communities thinking they should be put before others." During an argument about the Israel-Hamas war, there are said to be references to 'Jewish supremacy' and 'ethnic cleansing'. The account has since been deleted. The exchanges, however, have been published by another account on the platform and were seen by the Times . It's understood that Arsenal have received a complaint from at least one supporters group following the posts. The Premier League club said in a statement: "We are investigating this matter in line with our internal policies and procedures. Arsenal stands against all forms of abuse and discrimination." Should Bonnick be found responsible for the posts, he could also be the subject of an investigation by the FA as a participant in the game. The news of Arsenal's investigation broke as the Gunners faced Monaco in the Champions League . Bukayo Saka scored twice and Kai Havertz got on the scoresheet to move Mikel Arteta's side onto 13 points, currently enough for third in the 36-team table. Arsenal will play two more Champions League fixtures in January before the first phase of this season's new format comes to a conclusion. The Gunners are on course to qualify automatically for the knockout stages but should they drop below eighth position, they'd be involved in a two-legged play-off which would take place in February. The Gunners welcome Everton at 3pm on Saturday before hosting Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup next Wednesday. Coincidentally, Arteta and Co. will travel to Palace four days later in the Premier League. Their final match of 2024 is at home to Ipswich Town on Friday, December 27.Democrat Bob Casey concedes to Republican David McCormick in Pennsylvania Senate contest

Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach swear they don't have an idea for Barbie 2Trudeau's comments on Kamala Harris 'not helpful,' premiers say, as Musk blasts PM

Musk says US is demanding he pay penalty over disclosures of his Twitter stock purchases DETROIT (AP) — Elon Musk says the Securities and Exchange Commission wants him to pay a penalty or face charges involving what he disclosed — or failed to disclose — about his purchases of Twitter stock before he bought the social media platform in 2022. In a letter, Musk’s lawyer Alex Spiro tells the outgoing SEC chairman, Gary Gensler, that the commission’s demand for a monetary payment is a “misguided scheme” that won’t intimidate Musk. The letter also alleges that the commission reopened an investigation this week into Neuralink, Musk’s computer-to-human brain interface company. The SEC has not released the letter. Nor would it comment on it or confirm whether it has issued such a demand to Musk. Senate begins final push to expand Social Security benefits for millions of people WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is pushing toward a vote on legislation that would provide full Social Security benefits to millions of people. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer began the process on Thursday for a final vote on the bill, known as the Social Security Fairness Act. It would eliminate policies that currently limit Social Security payouts for roughly 2.8 million people. The legislation has passed the House. The bill would add more strain on the Social Security Trust funds, which are already estimated to be unable to pay out full benefits beginning in 2035. The measure would add an estimated $195 billion to federal deficits over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Trump offers support for dockworkers union by saying ports shouldn't install more automated systems WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is offering his support for the dockworkers union before their contract expires next month at Eastern and Gulf Coast ports. He posted on social media Thursday that he met with union leaders and that any further “automation” of the ports would harm workers. He wrote that the “amount of money saved is nowhere near the distress, hurt, and harm it causes for American Workers.” The International Longshoremen’s Association has until Jan. 15 to negotiate a new contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies. The Maritime Alliance says the technology will improve worker safety and strengthen our supply chains, among other things. IRS recovers $4.7 billion in back taxes and braces for cuts with Trump and GOP in power WASHINGTON (AP) — IRS leadership on Thursday announced that the agency has recovered $4.7 billion in back taxes and proceeds from a variety of crimes. The announcement comes under the backdrop of a promised reckoning from Republicans who will hold a majority over both chambers of the next Congress and have long called for rescinding the tens of billions of dollars in funding provided to the agency by Democrats. IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said improvements made to the agency will help the incoming administration and new Republican majority congress achieve its goals of administering an extension of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. OpenAI's Altman will donate $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund LOS ANGELES (AP) — OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is planning to make a $1 million personal donation to President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, joining a number of tech companies and executives who are working to improve their relationships the incoming administration. A spokesperson for OpenAI confirmed the move on Friday. The announcement comes one day after Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said it donated $1 million to the same fund. Amazon also said it plans to donate $1 million. China signals it's prepared to double down on support for the economy as Trump tariffs loom BANGKOK (AP) — Chinese leaders met this week to plot economic policy for the coming year and sketched out plans to raise government spending and relax Beijing's monetary policy. Analysts said the broad-brush plans from the annual Central Economic Work Conference were more of a recap of current policy than ambitious new initiatives at a time when the outlook is clouded by the President-elect Donald Trump's threats to sharply raise tariffs once he takes office. The ruling Communist Party did commit to raising China's deficit and to doing more to encourage consumer spending by bringing wage increases in line with the pace of economic growth. Here's a look at China's main priorities and their potential implications. Stock market today: Wall Street slips at the end of a bumpy week Stocks slipped as Wall Street closes out a rare bumpy week.

African Union chairperson candidates advocate for permanent UN Security Council seats NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Three African leaders seeking to head the African Union have detailed their plans for regional security amid conflicts and political coups while strongly advocating for inter-Africa trade. The race for chairperson debate was held Friday in Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. Kenya’s Raila Odinga, Djibouti’s Mahamoud Ali Youssouf and Madagascar’s Richard Randriamandrato are seeking to be elected as chairperson for the 55-member state African Union. They had a two-hour debate Friday in which they all advocated for two permanent seats for African countries at the U.N.

Game Changer Wrestling owner Brett Lauderdale feels AEW “maybe” violated some unwritten etiquette by running the Hammerstein Ballroom so close to GCW’s upcoming show there. It was announced last month that GCW will return to the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City for a show on January 19. Since then, AEW has revealed that it will be running the venue for three straight days from December 20-22. There will be an ROH pay-per-view, a live episode of AEW Collision, and an AEW Dynamite taping. Having four wrestling events in such a short period could lead to some ticket buyers choosing the AEW events over GCW. While appearing on the Business of the Business podcast, Lauderdale was asked if he thinks AEW is running these shows because GCW booked the venue. “Well, I don’t know Tony Khan personally and I don’t know enough of their people well enough to know or to speculate that they would particularly do something like that just to hurt us,” he responded. “Now, with that being said, you know, the traditional etiquette would be: there’s a window where you don’t go to the same buildings. Should that window exist? Often times, you can call it an unwritten rule — or in many cases it’s a written rule. And I’m sure most of the venues, when AEW goes to venues, they probably have a rule written in that no other wrestling show can go there within 30 days or 60 days. It’s a pretty standard practice in the wrestling business — and a lot of entertainment industries there’s rules like that, both written and unwritten. “Do I think that they literally set out to look for a way to hurt GCW? I’m not ready to go that far with it. But do I think that maybe it wasn’t the most polite thing to do? Maybe. I mean, they are a billionaire company with endless resources and they run multiple television shows every week, so they could run an event there anytime they wanted. They don’t have to do it in December or January or whatever. They can do it in February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September. They could do it every month if they wanted to. But they chose to do it in late December, which happens to be less than 30 days before we’re there. So, I mean, it’s not the greatest of circumstances for us.” This is GCW’s second time ever running the Hammerstein Ballroom. Named “The People vs. GCW,” the theme of the show is that GCW has unfinished business after their first event at the Hammerstein in January 2022 received negative to mixed reviews from a sizable portion of fans. With this being GCW’s second time at the Hammerstein — and with the three AEW shows happening there — Lauderdale knows that it’s even more important for him to deliver a card people want to see. “People going to our show just because it’s a wrestling show at the Hammerstein Ballroom, that’s off the table now,” he told the Business of the Business. “So, yes, we do have to win people over. We do have to sell our card. And, yeah, of course, we have to give a card worthy of the attention and worthy of the prestige of being there. And we have to make people buy tickets. Yeah, that’s the game plan. We’re working on it. We’ve got ideas. I think we’ll start to see some of the picture start to come clear this weekend, and we’re working on it and trying to make the rest of it come together.” Lauderdale said the goal is to sell out the Hammerstein Ballroom or sell as many tickets as possible. He’s going to take advantage of every opportunity to get people’s attention, put flyers in their hands, and make them want to come to the show. The AEW events will be the promotion’s Hammerstein debut, though ROH held shows there in the pre-Tony Khan era. The ballroom is located in the Manhattan Center and played host to ECW events in the past, along with WWE’s first two ECW One Night Stand PPVs. Khan told SportsGrid this summer that he thought AEW/ROH running the Hammerstein Ballroom was a “great idea,” but it wasn’t something he had thought about much before that point.Staying Young at Heart, Striving for Excellence:An Interview with Professor Zhang Wujun at Kinghelm

Warren Buffett has distributed another $1 billion of his wealth in what is fast becoming a Thanksgiving tradition for the world’s seventh-richest man. This year, however, he also seemed to offer a rebuke to billionaires who flaunt their wealth and discussed more of what would happen to his fortune when he dies. In a letter released Monday , Buffett said he plans to donate roughly $1.14 billion in stock to four different charities. Roughly $720 million will go to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, with $144 million going to each of the foundations run by his three children— The Sherwood Foundation, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, and NoVo Foundation. This is the second year in a row Buffett has distributed a significant amount of funds right before Thanksgiving. Last year, he donated $870 million to his children’s charities. Buffett, in the letter describing the distribution, also examined his own mortality and discussed the trappings of wealth. | “Father Time always wins,” he wrote. “But he can be fickle—indeed unfair and even cruel—sometimes ending life at birth or soon thereafter while, at other times, waiting a century or so before paying a visit. To date, I’ve been very lucky but, before long, he will get around to me.” Buffett is 94 years old. His business partner, Charlie Munger, died last year at the age of 99 , 34 days before his 100th birthday. Buffett has not made any announcements that would give rise to concern about his health, but he is well-known for his love of junk food, often stopping by McDonald’s for breakfast (or, when he’s on the road, grabbing a pack of Oreos ). “I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds,” he has joked. “So, I decided to eat like a six-year-old. It’s the safest course I can take.” “A downside to my good fortune” Buffett’s look at the complications of wealth also touched on the need that some billionaires seem to have to flaunt their riches, something he has long avoided. “I am . . . lucky that my philanthropic philosophy has been enthusiastically embraced—and widened—by both of my wives,” he wrote. “Neither I, Susie Sr. nor Astrid, who succeeded her, believed in dynastic wealth. Instead, we shared a view that equal opportunity should begin at birth and extreme ‘look-at me’ styles of living should be legal but not admirable. As a family, we have had everything we needed or simply liked, but we have not sought enjoyment from the fact that others craved what we had.” Buffett said he and his first wife, Susie, who passed away in 2004, encouraged their children to take part in philanthropic endeavors and not to be obsessed with touting their financial good fortune. “Susie Jr., Howie, and Peter have each spent far more time directly helping others than I have,” Buffett wrote. “They enjoy being comfortable financially, but they are not preoccupied with wealth.” When Buffett dies, virtually all of his $150 billion in wealth will be funneled into a new charitable trust that will be overseen by his children. And the three must decide unanimously on how the money is distributed, he has said. “My children will forever be besieged with earnest requests from very sincere friends and others,” he said. “Hence, the ‘unanimous decision’ provision. That restriction enables an immediate and final reply to grant-seekers: ‘It’s not something that would ever receive my brother’s consent.’ And that answer will improve the lives of my children.” No money will be going to the Gates Foundation, which he has previously given more than $43 billion. (Buffett resigned as a director of that Foundation in 2021, following the divorce of Bill and Melinda Gates.) Buffett, who cofounded the Giving Pledge , has now given away more than 56% of his wealth. In discussing his own death, Buffett also offered some advice to all parents, regardless of their level of wealth: Talk with your kids about your will. That open communication, he said, can preemptively stop any troubles after your demise—and gives your heirs a chance to make suggestions. “You don’t want your children asking “Why?” in respect to testamentary decisions when you are no longer able to respond,” he wrote. “Over the years, Charlie and I saw many families driven apart after the posthumous dictates of the will left beneficiaries confused and sometimes angry. Jealousies, along with actual or imagined slights during childhood, became magnified, particularly when sons were favored over daughters, either in monetary ways or by positions of importance.” Buffett’s children are now ages 71, 69, and 66—and he’s acknowledged that his finances are likely to outlive the three. He said in Monday’s letter that three potential successor trustees have already been picked, just in case. “I’ve never wished to create a dynasty or pursue any plan that extended beyond the children. I know the three well and trust them completely,” he wrote. “Still, the massive wealth I’ve collected may take longer to deploy than my children live. And tomorrow’s decisions are likely to be better made by three live and well-directed brains than by a dead hand.” The application deadline for Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards is Friday, December 6, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is planning to make a $1 million personal donation to President-Elect Donald Trump's inauguration fund, joining a number of tech companies and executives who are working to improve their relationships with the incoming administration. A spokesperson for OpenAI confirmed the move on Friday. The announcement comes one day after Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said it donated $1 million to the same fund. Amazon also said it plans to donate $1 million. “President Trump will lead our country into the age of AI, and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead," Altman said in a statement. Altman, who is in a legal dispute with rival Elon Musk, has said he is “not that worried” about the Tesla CEO's influence in the incoming administration. Trump is putting Musk, the world’s richest man, and Vivek Ramaswamy , an entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate, in charge of the new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, which is an outside advisory committee that will work with people inside the government to reduce spending and regulations. Musk, an early OpenAI investor and board member, sued the artificial intelligence company earlier this year alleging that the maker of ChatGPT betrayed its founding aims of benefiting the public good rather than pursuing profits. Musk recently escalated the lawsuit by asking a federal judge to stop OpenAI’s plans to convert itself into a for-profit business more fully. —— The Associated Press and OpenAI have a licensing and technology agreement allowing OpenAI access to part of the AP’s text archives.

Addressing LGBTQIA2S+ discrimination could open new business opportunities that increase GDP by up to 1.47%, worth US$7.6 billion, according to the Thailand PinkTech Ecosystem Report 2024. LGBTQIA2S+ is an acronym for a group of sexual orientations and gender identities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, asexual and two-spirit. "It's time to recognise the immense value of diversity and create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive," said Poomporn Thamsatitdej, director of the artificial intelligence centre at Thammasat University. The pinktech ecosystem is more than just an emerging sector, it's a catalyst for economic and social change, he said. The report was jointly conducted by the centre and Canvas Ventures International (CVI), identifying Bangkok, with its vibrant LGBTQIA2S+ community and supportive ecosystem, as having the potential to become the epicentre of pinktech innovation in Southeast Asia. The survey interviewed 105 respondents from May to October. Thailand's progressive policies such as the marriage equality law and gender equality law lay a foundation for pinktech growth and offer an environment that fosters innovation and inclusion, according to the report. Despite the significant potential of Thailand's pinktech economy, 88.9% of investors in the survey have yet to engage with the market based on a lack of understanding and collaborative opportunities. Mr Poomporn said there are 78 active pinktech startups in the market, of which 65% are in the early stage or pre-seed, with many struggling to secure funding and scale their businesses. This underscores the urgent need for targeted support and resources. He suggested healthcare and wellness businesses leverage Thailand's healthcare reputation to serve specific LGBTQIA2S+ needs, ranging from telemedicine to mental health. The tourism and hospitality sectors can join with pinktech startups to create travel experiences for LGBTQIA2S+ people, while fintech, insurance and marriage equality fuels demand for tailored financial products for individuals and couples in this segment, said Mr Poomporn. ECONOMIC IMPACT He said one area where pinktech can create an economic impact is inclusive financial services. Some 89% of surveyed same-sex couples said they are interested in financial services, which can be leveraged to add $2 billion in value to the local financial market, said Mr Poomporn. Roughly 78% of respondents said they are dissatisfied with current healthcare options, indicating demand for telemedicine services in the segment. The market size is projected to reach $500 million by 2025, he said. Moreover, 72% of LGBTQIA2S+ professionals face career advancement barriers, underscoring the need for inclusive job platforms and mentorship apps. Addressing this obstacle could add $1.5 billion to GDP annually, noted the report. As 65% of LGBTQIA2S+ youth feel socially unsafe, this drives demand for augmented and virtual reality social platforms and venue discovery apps. This market is expected to grow 300% over five years, according to the survey. Tourism also shows strong potential thanks to the legalisation of same-sex marriages, with the sector projected to attract 4 million visitors annually and generate $2 billion. Bangkok has all the ingredients to become a global pinktech hub, said Tanachai Kulsomboonsin, co-founder of CVI. "By investing in pinktech, supporting entrepreneurs and fostering collaborations, we can unlock the full potential of this dynamic market," he said. CVI plays a crucial role in fostering this growth through initiatives like the upcoming PinkTech and OrangeTech Accelerator Programme (PAINT), which provides entrepreneurs the resources and mentorship needed to ensure success. PAINT is a key component of CVI Labs' venture-building platform dedicated to cultivating tech businesses with a focus on social impact. Mr Tanachai said PAINT is not just an accelerator -- it's a movement open to entrepreneurs of all ages, genders and backgrounds. Slated to start in February 2025, PAINT's intensive eight-week programme offers 50 participants the essential skills, mentorship and resources needed to develop and scale their businesses. Bangkok should aim to solidify its position as a global pinktech hub, driving economic growth through inclusivity and creativity, he said. PAINT set an ambitious goal to achieve half a billion baht in collective fundraising and 5 billion baht in business value within a few years.

A Dutch court on Friday rejected a bid from human rights groups to block weapons exports to Israel and trading with the occupied territories, after finding there were sufficient checks already in place to comply with international law. The ten organizations told The Hague District Court last month that they thought the Netherlands was in violation of the 1948 Genocide Convention, drawn up following World War II, by continuing to sell weapons to Israel more than a year into the conflict. “The government uses my own tax money, that I pay, to kill my own family. I’ve lost 18 members of my own family,” Ahmed Abofoul, a legal adviser for the pro-Palestinian organization Al-Haq, one of the groups involved in the lawsuit, told the court during a hearing in November. An Israeli airstrike on Thursday killed at least 25 Palestinians and wounded dozens more, Palestinian medics said. The strike on a multistory residential building in the Nuseirat refugee camp was just the latest in a series of Israeli attacks throughout Gaza. The court ruling said that “it is not up to the interim relief judge to order the state to reconsider government policy. That is primarily a political responsibility.” Lawyers for the government argued it wasn’t up to a judge to decide foreign policy for the Netherlands. The activist groups pointed to several emergency orders from another court, the International Court of Justice, as confirming the obligation to stop weapons sales. In January, the top UN court said it was plausible Palestinians were being deprived of some rights protected under the Genocide Convention. The coalition said it will review the court’s ruling and is considering an appeal. In November, the International Criminal Court, issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, his former defence minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with the 13-month war in Gaza. The warrants said there was a reason to believe that Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and had intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza — charges Israeli officials deny. Earlier this week, the United Nations said humanitarian aid to north Gaza has largely been blocked for the past 66 days, leaving between 65,000 and 75,000 Palestinians without access to food, water, electricity or health care, according to the world body.Syracuse hosts Georgetown for milestone battle in longtime rivalry
