baccarat predictor Southern California police have warned that burglaries taking place in a small community may have happened with the aid of a drone. The Santa Clarita Valley Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday that "preliminary reports suggested" a drone may have been used in a series of three burglaries committed in Stevenson Ranch—a community of around 20,000 that is about 35 miles north of Los Angeles. The burglaries took place over one week. While it was unclear whether the suspected drone use was detected by witnesses spotting a drone near the burglary sites, police said an investigation had revealed "promising leads" provided by locals. "Thanks to active community cooperation, promising leads have been identified and are under investigation," a news release from the Santa Clarita Valley station said. "Detectives are diligently working to resolve these cases and bring those responsible to justice. "We urge all residents across the Santa Clarita Valley to take proactive steps to secure their homes and report any suspicious activity immediately," the release continued. "If you see something concerning, please call the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station at 661-260-4000." Newsweek reached out Tuesday for comment to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department via an online press contact form. The incidents in California were not the only recent burglaries involving suspected drone use. Last week, the NBA warned that professional basketball players were being targeted in a string of recent burglaries committed with the assistance of drones. In a memo sent to NBA team officials last week and obtained by the Associated Press, the FBI said the burglaries were connected to "transnational South American Theft Groups" using drones and other types of technology to target the players. "These [South American Theft Groups] are reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices," the memo states. The memo goes on to say that the theft groups were "primarily focused on cash and items that can be resold on the black market, such as jewelry, watches, and luxury bags," while the homes targeted were mostly unoccupied and "equipped with alarm systems that were not activated." Earlier this month, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that residents of the beachside community La Jolla Shores believed drones had been used in the area for more than a year to scout homes that were later targeted by burglars. While multiple residents reported seeing drones flying over houses before they were burglarized, San Diego police Lieutenant Bryan Brecht told the newspaper that the drones in question were "hobby drones" and that it would be difficult to definitely tie them to any crimes.

XRAY LEGAL UPDATE: A Lawsuit has been Filed Against Dentsply Sirona Inc. for Securities Fraud - Contact BFA Law before Court Deadline (NASDAQ:XRAY)The volatile tribal district of Kurram witnessed another scene of carnage, death and destruction on 21 November 2024. On this fateful day, a convoy of about 200 vehicles was travelling from Parachinar to Peshawar when at about 1:20 PM, gunmen jumped out of their vehicles and poured deadly gunfire on the travelling vehicles on the road, to extinguish the lives of 40 innocent residents of Parachinar including women and children. The attacked convoy consisted of mostly Shia Muslim members of the community. According to local sources, this attack was in retaliation for a 12 October attack that had left 15 people dead, including two women and a child. No group has so far claimed responsibility, but it is very likely that the banned TTP is behind this atrocity, because it has been quite active in this region in the recent past. State security agencies are either responsible for criminal negligence or have made no efforts to curb the acts of violence in this sensitive area. Since July this year, over 80 people have been killed while travelling by road and the people of the region have protested, demanding peace and security. But the state agencies have so far failed miserably to provide relief to the people of the area. The government now must make it priority number one to secure this region, or else this scourge will most likely spill over and then sectarian outfits could exploit the situation to create tensions across the country Quite oblivious of the plight of these communities, today the federal government and the provincial authorities of KP province are embroiled in a bitter dispute because of the 24th November protest day announced by the PTI. Due to their infighting, both the federal and provincial authorities are least bothered about the security conditions in Kurram or other parts of KP. Government sources tend to express their indignation and condemnation of the acts of terrorism, and promises are made to deal with the terrorists with an iron hand and bring them to justice. But in practice, the poor residents of the areas are left to their own devices when bloodthirsty militants rule the roost. Kurram district is extremely sensitive because of the sectarian divide and its proximity to Afghanistan along with the presence of obscurantist militants of the TTP. So far the government has not been able to control militancy or to settle tribal disputes that explode into tribal vendettas. The government now must make it priority number one to secure this region, or else this scourge will most likely spill over to other areas of the province and then sectarian outfits could exploit the situation to create tensions across the length and breadth of the country. Elements responsible for the latest atrocity must be tracked down and punished and our state agencies must come up with practical plans for the security and safety of the people of Kurram or this violence could engulf the entire country. PBC Condemns Horrific Attack In Lower Kurram, Calls For Immediate Action The resurgence of violence has escalated since the TTP ended a fragile ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022 and vowed to intensify its attacks. The group's activity has added another layer of insecurity in a region already plagued by sectarian and tribal conflicts. The latest atrocity in Kurram is a stark reminder that the country is now at war with itself. Our brave soldiers are losing lives every day, and the enemy is not across the border but within the national boundaries. The hurried departure of the US forces from Afghanistan resulted in the Taliban control of Afghanistan and the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was the only world leader who openly welcomed the Taliban regime in Kabul and rejoiced at their victory declaring “The Taliban have broken the shackles of slavery.” Subsequently the then PTI-led federal government decided to release about 5,000 terrorists and militants of the TTP who had been languishing n Pakistani jails, and allowed them to settle down in the areas of their choice. An outdated and wrong concept of ‘strategic depth’ seems to be guiding our policy planners even today. The attitude and behaviour of the Talban regime in Kabul should be a lesson to scrap the old policies of seeking such ‘strategic depth’ and start with a clean slate regarding our policy towards the Afghan Taliban. The province of KP in the direct line of fire, and facing the brunt of the attacks by the militant forces of obscurantism and sectarianism. Far from the miscalculations of policy-makers, our soldiers on the ground are facing this danger with great courage and determination and almost everyday lives are being lost. So, far the total loss of lives at the hands of the militant forces of the Taliban has been more than the total loss of lives suffered in all the wars with the country’s traditional arch-nemesis India. It is now time to take the war to the enemy, hit them in their safe sanctuaries and nip the evil in the bud – before further damage is done to our state institutions and social fabric. According to the army chief, the army is now paying a price in blood because of the incompetence of political forces. This unfortunate state of affairs since 2021 has not been settled. Beginner’s Guide To Writing About Old Buildings In fact, the blame rests not just on the security establishment and federal governments. The provincial government of KP leaves much to be desired. The Chief Minister of the volatile province is neck deep in promoting the party agenda while criminally neglecting his role as an administrator of the province that is under threat by a bloody insurgency. When he devotes all his time to planning agitations against the federal authorities instead of fighting and curbing militancy and terrorism in his own province, the Chief Minister also becomes guilty of gross neglect.Donald Trump has threatened to seize the Panama Canal, revived calls to buy Greenland and joked about annexing Canada -- leaving the world guessing once again whether he is serious or not. By challenging the sovereignty of some of Washington's closest allies four weeks before he even returns to the Oval Office, the US-president elect has underscored his credentials as global disruptor-in-chief. His comments have renewed fears from his first term that Trump will end up being harsher on US friends than he is on adversaries like Russia and China. But there are also suspicions that billionaire tycoon Trump is looking for leverage as part of the "art of the deal" -- and that the former reality television star is grabbing headlines to look strong at home and abroad. "It's hard to tell how much of this he really wants, and how much is the latest soundbite that will be heard around the world," said Frank Sesno, a professor at George Washington University and former White House correspondent. "He puts other leaders in position of having to figure out what is literal and what is not," he told AFP. The idea of buying Greenland is not a new one for Trump. He also raised the prospect of purchasing the vast strategic island, a Danish territory, during his first term in office. He revived his push over the weekend when naming his ambassador to Copenhagen, saying the "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" for US national security. But he received the same answer this time as he did then, with Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede saying on Monday that the resource-rich island was "not for sale." Yet his most headline-grabbing remarks have been on Panama, as he slammed what he called unfair fees for US ships passing through and threatened to demand control of the Panama Canal be returned to Washington. Trump said on Sunday that if Panama did not agree "then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America -- in full, quickly and without question." He also hinted at China's growing influence around the canal, which was built by the United States in 1914 to link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It was returned to Panama under a 1977 deal. Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino dismissed Trump's threats, saying that "every square meter" of the canal would remain in Panamanian hands. Trump responded on TruthSocial: "We'll see about that!" Trump also teased neighboring Canada last week that it would be a "great idea" to become the 51st US state -- but against a dark backdrop of threatened tariffs. Sesno said it was hard for other countries to know how to deal with Trump's comments. "Well, it's clearly a joke. Or is it? said Sesno. "Imagine if you're the President of Panama, how do you react to something like that? You can't ignore it and your country will not let you. So the ripple effect of these comments is extraordinary." Trump's harsh treatment of US allies also stands in stark contrast to his repeated praise for the leaders of US foes -- including Russia's Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in 2022 in a bid for a land-grab. But there is still likely to be method behind Trump's rhetoric. "Maybe the message is for China" when Trump talks about buying Greenland, said Stephanie Pezard, senior political scientist with the Rand Corporation. Just as Trump expressed concern about Beijing's influence in Panama, China's growing presence in the Arctic and its ties with Russia were "something that the US is really worried about," Pezard told AFP. But there could also be a signal to Denmark that 'If you're too friendly with China, you'll find us in your way" -- even though Denmark and Greenland had been "very good NATO allies." And perhaps Trump knows the reality. Any US plan to "buy" Greenland would be unfeasible "not just in international law but more broadly in the global order that the US has been trying to uphold," she said. dk/bgs

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City’s players were booed by their own fans Tuesday after blowing a three-goal lead against Feyenoord in the Champions League to extend their winless run to six games. Jeers rang around the Etihad Stadium after the final whistle of a dramatic 3-3 draw. “They are disappointed. Of course we understand it,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. “They are completely right to express what they feel.” After five-straight losses in all competitions, City looked to be cruising to victory after going three up inside 50 minutes. But Feyenoord mounted an improbable comeback and leveled the game in the 89th to leave the home crowd stunned. While the worst losing streak of Guardiola’s managerial career was brought to an end, his wait for a first win since Oct. 26 goes on. Erling Haaland had scored twice, with Ilkay Gundogan also on target to put City in control. But goals from Anis Hadj Moussa in the 75th, Santiago Gimenez in the 82nd and David Hancko in the 89th turned the game on its head. According to stats supplier Opta, it was the first time in Guardiola's managerial career that his team had failed to win a game after leading 3-0. It said it was the first time City had failed to win from that position since 1989. “We lost a lot of games lately, we are fragile and of course we need a victory," Guardiola said. “The game was good for the confidence, we were playing a good level, but the first time something happened we had problems.” A win would have moved City up to fifth in the Champions League standings , but the draw left it 15th with three games remaining in the first phase of the competition. The top eight teams advance to the round of 16, while teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a playoff. City’s players, including Bernardo Silva, Josko Gvardiol and Haaland looked visibly frustrated as they left the field to cheers from the delirious traveling Dutch fans in the away section of the stadium. “If you are 3-0 up at home you can never give it away like this. It is what it is at the moment. The only thing we can do is fight back and stay strong,” City defender Nathan Ake said. City plays Premier League leader Liverpool on Sunday — defeat would leave it 11 points adrift of its title rival. “We will learn for the future. It has been and will be a tough season for us and we have to accept it," said Guardiola, who had a cut on his nose during the game. He said it had been caused when he scratched it with his fingernail. James Robson is at https://twitter.com/jamesalanrobson AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Reid Hoffman, co-founder at LinkedIn and Inflection AI, shared his expectations for the incoming Trump administration in an opinion piece for the Financial Times. And while he appears hopeful that President-Elect Donald Trump could clear the way for more competition and faster innovation in the technology industry, Hoffman also expressed concerns around Trump providing certain individuals and companies with favored status in a way that could harm American innovation. One individual with his hands in several technological pies that Hoffman says could gain from Trump’s ascendance is Elon Musk , the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI , and owner of The Boring Company, Neuralink, and X. Musk, alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, will also head up a planned advisory commission called the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ). Hoffman called Musk’s ownership in xAI in particular “a serious conflict of interest.” “Using his position to favor xAI in any way, such as awarding it government contracts, encouraging federal agencies to unfairly target AI companies, or imposing new regulations that limit exports will come at the expense of U.S. technological, economic and cultural security, and competitiveness,” Hoffman wrote. Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink are all also in highly regulated sectors, the agencies governing which could experience layoffs or other influence from Musk in his role at DOGE. Hoffman, who backed VP Kamala Harris’s nomination and has been an outspoken critic of Trump’s presidency, also highlighted the potential benefits and drawbacks to Trump’s support of crypto. He said that “ending arbitrary enforcement policies against the cryptocurrency industry” as seen under the Biden administration could create a “more stable environment for blockchain innovation.” But he questioned whether Trump will “use his new embrace of crypto, and his regulatory authority over it, as a way to privilege a few favored coins?” Trump has his own crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, with a native token that launched in October, and is reportedly working on a new stablecoin that can serve as a stand-in for the U.S. dollar. There have also been reports this week that Trump Media, the president-elect’s social media company, is in advanced talks to acquire cryptocurrency trading platform Bakkt. Hoffman’s concerns that Trump might play favorites are not unfounded. As he noted in his piece, in Trump’s first term, the president-elect “targeted a number of iconic U.S. companies for personal and political reasons, creating constant chaos and uncertainty.” For example, Trump frequently criticized Amazon and its CEO Jeff Bezos, accusing the company of unfairly benefitting from USPS rates , which led to policies scrutinizing Amazon’s deals. Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, now appears to be amenable to Trump , and has defended his decision to withhold the newspaper’s endorsement of Harris. Musk also has a reputation for publicly challenging and criticizing competitors and people he disagrees with. The path to his acquisition of Twitter , now X, was littered with public critiques of the platform’s leadership and business model. Hoffman — who helped fund E. Jean Caroll’s rape case against Trump, criticized him as a “convicted felon and pathological liar,” and has expressed fears that the president-elect would retaliate against him and others in business — ended on an upbeat note despite his skepticism. “I very much hope that Trump succeeds wildly in enabling US entrepreneurship and innovation, increasing wages for workers and creating a country where every American is free to pursue their ambitions with dignity, purpose and a sense of belonging,” Hoffman wrote. “That’s why I will continue to do everything I can to build the next generation of companies that bring life-changing opportunities for individuals and society.”MUNICH, Germany, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said he had yet to fully understand how the new Champions League format worked after his team earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Paris St Germain on Tuesday to improve their chances of reaching the knockout stage. Bayern needed a first-half goal from defender Kim Min-jae to battle past 10-man PSG and claim a third win in five matches. "I don't look at the table because, honestly. I don't yet understand it," Kompany told a press conference. "It will look good if we win a few more matches." The Bavarians climbed to 11th with nine points from five games, a point off the top eight places that bring automatic qualification for the last 16. PSG are 26th on four, outside the playoff spots with three matches remaining in the first phase. In the new 36-team league format this season, teams face eight teams instead of meeting three opponents twice. They play half of those games at home and half away. The top eight sides advance directly to the last 16, while those finishing ninth to 24th enter a two-legged playoff for a chance to secure a spot in the next stage. "What's important is to reach our goal. If we win our remaining games we have a chance to make the top eight," Belgian Kompany, in his first season in charge at Bayern, said. "I'm obviously happy. Our pressing in the first half was very good. The discipline was there. We could have scored perhaps one or two more goals, but the result is good." "We are on the right track but working to become even better," he added. Sign up here.

The Governor of Bayelsa State, Duoye Diri, disclosed this to State House Correspondents in Abuja on Thursday after the National Economic Council. Diri revealed that the NEC gave Adamawa, Kebbi and Kwara states and the FCT one week (November 28) to submit their positions on the proposed creation of state police. He said by the time the NEC convened again next week a decision would be taken. “On the issue of state police today, when the decision was taken, even before it was, the three states in question, one of them (Adamawa) was represented by the Deputy Governor, had earlier made submissions that they presented their report. “So, that was why NEC could not come out immediately to say ‘A or B,’ but rather gave a timeline. And that timeline, as you can see, was very short: one week for them to go and do whatever they are doing so that decisions will be made by the next NEC meeting. And, from how they reacted, I’m sure that maybe we have some bureaucracy regarding the submission,” Diri said. On the one-week deadline given to the three defaulting states, he said, “The Council mandated these remaining states and the FCT to make their submissions within the next one week. “On the state police, Council was updated with the submission of the establishment of state police, and it was reported that 33 states have submitted their positions, while three states are yet to do so. “These three states are Adamawa, Kebbi and incidentally Kwara, which is the chairman of our forum, and the FCT are yet to submit their positions. “The Council mandated these remaining states and the FCT to make their submissions within the next one week and resolved to present a consolidated state’s position on the state police to the National Economic Council at our next meeting.” On February 15, 2024, the Federal Government, alongside the 36 states, began talks expected to culminate in the creation of state police. This formed part of agreements reached at an emergency meeting between President Bola Tinubu and state governors at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

Addressing State House Correspondents afterwards, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, explained that the process was still in its infancy and would only take shape after more deliberations between stakeholders. “The Federal Government and the state governments are mulling the possibility of setting up state police,” said Idris, adding that “this is still going to be further discussed.” He explained, “A lot of work must be done in that direction. But if our government and the state governments agree to the necessity of having state police, this is a significant shift.” Two days earlier, the House of Representatives said it was considering a legislative bill titled, ‘A bill for an Act to alter the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, to provide for the establishment of State Police and related matters.’ Following this agreement, the National Economic Council requested each state to submit detailed reports outlining their positions and plans for implementing state police. By March 2024, 16 states had submitted their reports, with the remaining 20 expected to do so by May. In April 2024, the Nigeria Governors’ Forum announced that the decisions of the remaining 20 governors were ready for submission to the NEC, indicating a unified commitment among the states to establish state police forces. Despite these, as of November 2024, the implementation of state police remains only in the planning stages as the FG and state authorities continue to debate on the constitutional amendments required to empower states to establish and manage their police forces. The debate for creating state police in Nigeria primarily stems from the centralised nature of the Nigerian Police Force, which many security pundits perceive as inadequate for addressing the unique security challenges across the country’s diverse regions. Proponents argue that the outfit would bring law enforcement closer to the communities they serve, enhance the effectiveness of policing, and allow for more localised control over security matters. However, opponents fear that state police could lead to the abuse of power, particularly in states with strong political control, potentially exacerbating regional tensions and undermining national unity.
