Electronic Specialty Gas Market which was USD 6.1 Million in 2023Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been ruled out of Saturday's Merseyside derby against Everton through suspension. The Argentina international made his 12th Premier League start of the season in Wednesday's Premier League away clash against Newcastle. Liverpool fought back on two occasions to restore parity before Mohamed Salah scored his second goal of the game to give the Reds a 3-2 lead. However, Arne Slot 's side were ultimately left frustrated after Fabian Schar netted a 90th-minute equaliser to deny Liverpool an eighth consecutive win in all competitions. The Liverpool boss would have also been disappointed to see Mac Allister pick up a costly yellow card in the first half at St James' Park. Mac Allister had been at risk of suspension since he picked up his fourth yellow card of the Premier League season in a 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on November 2. Unfortunately for Liverpool, Mac Allister was shown a yellow card in the 20th minute against Newcastle following a foul on Schar. After collecting his fifth league booking, the World Cup winner will serve a one-match suspension, ruling him out of the first Merseyside derby of the season. Mac Allister will sit out Saturday's trip to Goodison Park alongside the injured Alisson Becker , Conor Bradley , Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas . There are also question marks surrounding the availability of Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa , who will have to be assessed ahead of the derby clash. With Mac Allister suspended, Slot will have to decide which player will replace the 25-year-old in the Liverpool engine room. Curtis Jones may drop into a deeper role alongside Ryan Gravenberch , allowing Dominik Szoboszlai to come into the side to operate as an attacking midfielder. While that seems like the most realistic solution, Slot has the option to start Wataru Endo or Tyler Morton and allow Jones to stay in his advanced position. Having avoided defeat in their last 10 league games, Liverpool will head into the derby as the Premier League leaders , with a seven-point advantage at the top of the table.None

AP News Summary at 12:21 p.m. EST

By BASSEM MROUE and ZEINA KARAM BEIRUT (AP) — The head of a Syrian opposition war monitor said early Sunday that President Bashar Assad left the country for an undisclosed location, fleeing ahead of insurgents who said they had entered Damascus after a stunning advance across the country. Rami Abdurrahman of the Syrian Observatory for [...]SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook a large area of Northern California on Thursday, knocking items of grocery store shelves, sending children scrambling under desks and prompting a brief tsunami warning for 5.3 million people along the U.S. West Coast. The quake struck at 10:44 a.m. west of Ferndale, a small city in coastal Humboldt County, about 130 miles (209 km) from the Oregon border, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was felt as far south as San Francisco, some 270 miles (435 km) away, where residents felt a rolling motion for several seconds. It was followed by multiple smaller aftershocks. There were no immediate reports of major damage or injury. The tsunami warning was in effect for roughly an hour. It was issued shortly after the temblor struck and covered nearly 500 miles (805 km) of coastline, from the edge of California’s Monterey Bay north into Oregon. “It was a strong quake, our building shook, we’re fine but I have a mess to clean up right now,” said Julie Kreitzer, owner of Golden Gait Mercantile, a store packed with food, wares and souvenirs that is a main attraction in Ferndale. “We lost a lot of stuff. It’s probably worse than two years ago. I have to go, I have to try and salvage something for the holidays because it’s going to be a tough year,” Kreitzer said before hanging up. The region — known for its redwood forests, scenic mountains and the three-county Emerald Triangle’s legendary marijuana crop — was struck by a 6.4 magnitude quake in 2022 that left thousands of people without power and water. The northwest corner of California is the most seismically active part of the state since it’s where three tectonic plates meet, seismologist Lucy Jones said on the social media platform BlueSky. Shortly after the quake, phones in Northern California buzzed with the tsunami warning from the National Weather Service that said: “A series of powerful waves and strong currents may impact coasts near you. You are in danger. Get away from coastal waters. Move to high ground or inland now. Keep away from the coast until local officials say it is safe to return.” South of San Francisco in Santa Cruz, authorities cleared the main beach, taping off entrances with police tape. Numerous cities urged people to evacuate to higher ground as a precaution, including Eureka. “I thought my axles had fallen apart,” said Valerie Starkey, a Del Norte County supervisor representing Crescent City, a town of fewer than 6,000 about 66 miles (106 km) north of Eureka. “That’s what I was feeling ... ‘My axles are broken now.’ I did not realize it was an earthquake.” Gov. Gavin Newsom said he has signed off on a state of emergency declaration to quickly move state resources to impacted areas along the coast. State officials were concerned about damages in the northern part of the state, Newsom said. Crews in Eureka, the biggest city in the region, were assessing if there was any major damage from the quake, Eureka Mayor Kim Bergel said. Bergel, who works as a resource aid at a middle school, said lights were swaying and everyone got under desks. “The kids were so great and terrified. It seemed to go back and forth for quite a long time,” she said. Some children asked, “Can I call my mom?" The students were later sent home. In nearby Arcata, students and faculty were urged to shelter in place at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt. The campus in was not in the tsunami hazard zone and after inspections, “all utilities and building systems are normal and operational,” the university said in a statement. Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said residents experienced some cracks in their homes’ foundations, as well as broken glass and windows, but nothing severe. There also have been no major infrastructure problems, building collapses or roadway issues, and no major injuries or deaths have been reported, he said. Honsal said he was in his office in the 75-year-old courthouse in downtown Eureka when he felt the quake. “We’re used to it. It is known as ‘earthquake country’ up here,” he said. “It wasn’t a sharp jolt. It was a slow roller, but significant.” Michael Luna, owner of a Grocery Outlet in Eureka, said that besides a few items falling off shelves, the store on Commercial Street was unscathed by the earthquake. “We didn’t have any issues but a couple of deodorants fall off.... I think the way the earthquake rumbled this time, it was a good thing for our store because the last earthquake was a huge mess," he said. They evacuated customers and closed their doors temporarily until officials lifted the tsunami warning, he said, rushing off the phone to attend to a growing line of customers at check-out. The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, known as BART, stopped traffic in all directions through the underwater tunnel between San Francisco and Oakland, and the San Francisco Zoo’s visitors were evacuated. Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator for the Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska, said the computer models indicated that this was the type of earthquake that was unlikely to cause a tsunami and gauges that monitor waves then confirmed it, so forecasters canceled the warning. This quake was a strike-slip type of temblor that shifts more horizontally and is less prone to cause tsunamis, unlike the more vertical types, said National Weather Service tsunami program manager Corina Allen in Washington state. The California Geological Survey says the state’s shores have been struck by more than 150 tsunamis since 1800, and while most were minor, some have been destructive and deadly. On March 28, 1964, a tsunami triggered by a powerful earthquake in Alaska smashed into Crescent City hours later. Much of the business district was leveled and a dozen people were killed. More recently, a tsunami from a 2011 earthquake in Japan caused about $100 million in damages along the California coast, much of it in Crescent City. Dazio reported from Los Angeles.

Insurgents reach gates of Syria’s capital, threatening to upend decades of Assad rule

Summit County ski areas gear up for Thanksgiving holiday with myriad of new terrain openingsMumbai: The chief of the Maharashtra unit of the Samajwadi Party Abu Asim Azmi on Saturday announced his party’s withdrawal from the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance in the state over a post by a close aide of ally Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray’s and a related newspaper advertisment hailing the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992. The move by the Samajwadi Party(SP), which has two members in the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly, is seen as another sign of the growing discontent among regional parties within the opposition INDIA bloc of which the Congress is a leading constituent. Hours after Azmi’s announcement to pull out of the MVA alliance, another SP leader Fakhrul Hasan Chaand appeared to distance the party’s national leadership from the remarks of the chief of its Maharashtra unit. Chaand said the SP’s national leadership will take a decision on continuance of the SP in the MVA. While the impact of the SP’s exit is expected to be minimal for the MVA, which was routed in the recent assembly elections securing only 50 out of 288 seats at stake, the NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar sought to play down Azmi’s announcement, saying the SP’s central leadership is firm on opposition unity. The main constituents of the MVA are the Congress, the Shiv Sena faction headed by former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray and the NCP(SP). Political analysts feel that while the SP’s exit is unlikely to harm the MVA directly due to its limited presence in the state, it could be a strategic move ahead of upcoming civic body elections. The announcement of the SP withdrawal was made by Azmi, who is also an MLA, after a local newspaper published an advertisement congratulating those involved in the Babri Masjid demolition on a disputed site in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh on December 6, 1992. Additionally, a post by a close aide of Uddhav Thackeray, MLC Milind Narvekar, celebrated the act further aggravating tensions between the SP and the MVA partners. Narvekar also posted a photo of the demolition of the mosque accompanied by Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray’s quote “I am proud of those who did this”. “An advertisement was given by Shiv Sena (UBT) in a newspaper congratulating those who demolished Babri masjid. His (Uddhav Thackeray) aide has also posted on X hailing the demolition of the mosque,” Azmi said. “We are quitting the MVA. I am speaking to (Samajwadi Party president) Akhilesh Yadav,” Azmi told PTI. Expressing his displeasure, Azmi said, “If anyone in the MVA speaks such language, what is the difference between the BJP and them? Why should we stay with them?” He criticised the reopening of old wounds, emphasising that no one has been held accountable for the mosque’s demolition. “The Congress has to decide whether it can ally with someone who speaks like this”. SP leader Chaand later said that SP’s national leadership will decide on his party’s alliance with others. “Abu Asim Azmi is a senior leader of Samajwadi Party in Maharashtra, but it is upon the national leadership to decide about party’s alliance with others. Abu Asim Azmi has said something, but the national leadership of the party will decide about it,” Chaand told PTI Videos. Chhand further said the INDIA bloc should remain united to take on the BJP. Azmi also said there was no coordination with parties like the SP during the Maharashtra assembly polls. The SP had contested eight seats and won two and had a friendly contest on six. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Bhaskar Jadhav responded to Azmi’s criticism, questioning the SP’s realisation of Shiv Sena’s stance after 32 years. He also accused the SP of leaning toward the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti coalition. In response to the SP’s exit, senior Congress leader Nitin Raut said, “We will discuss with the Samajwadi Party about its decision and understand what the problem is.” The move by the SP highlights the broader tensions within the national INDIA bloc, which has been witnessing increasing dissatisfaction from various regional parties in the country. This also follows recent comments from West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee, who has expressed her intent to take a more prominent role within the alliance amid the recent electoral setbacks for the Congress in several states including Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir and now Maharashtra.In a dramatic shift in Syria's longstanding conflict, Syrian rebels announced their capture of the key city of Homs early Sunday, posing an immediate threat to President Bashar al-Assad's regime. Thousands flooded the streets in celebration as government forces withdrew. The fall of Homs provides insurgents control over Syria's heartland, crucially cutting off Damascus from the coastal region, a stronghold for Assad's Alawite sect. This territorial gain marks a significant comeback for the rebels, highlighting their resurgence after years of intense fighting. The conflict now threatens to advance towards the capital, with protests erupting in various districts of Damascus. The international community remains on edge, observing the rapidly evolving situation, with potential ramifications echoing across the region and beyond. (With inputs from agencies.)

Of course, they talked about their careers and their experiences a lot, as she mentioned a film she worked on in which she played a younger female character involved with an older man. "You like them older, huh?" Sharpe joked, which led to cackles from them both before Keke hit him with the ultimate clap-back: " That’s what Michelle said! " The interviewer and his colleagues started going ballistic, and she seemed quite proud of herself for the quip. For those unaware, Keke Palmer referred to Shannon Sharpe's viral and now infamous sex tape scandal that happened on Instagram Live. There are a few different possible interpretations of this, but basically, he accidentally went Live on the social media platform while he was having intimate relations with a woman he referred to as Michelle. They didn't actually show up on the screen, but you could hear them in the livestream. Some thought it was fake, others thought he was being honest, but pretty much everyone found the Internet discussion that it provoked at least a little funny.

Way back in January, when the stink of a 5-7 season was still lingering on South Carolina, Shane Beamer held his first team meeting for the 2024 Gamecocks. He made a comment about a bowl game at the end of the season, how South Carolina was going to get back to the postseason after missing it for the first time in Beamer’s tenure. Right after the meeting, five-star freshman edge rusher Dylan Stewart — who might have been on campus for 48 hours — walked up to his new coach with a declaration. “Enough of this bowl stuff,” Beamer said Stewart told him. “We have higher expectations that that.” On Saturday afternoon in the bowels of Memorial Stadium, Beamer sat behind the podium after South Carolina’s 17-14 win over No. 12 Clemson , having earned the chance to make his case for the Gamecocks as a College Football Playoff team. “I do believe we deserve a spot in the 12-team playoff,” Beamer said. “I get it, the committee has a really tough job. They have to choose the 12 best teams. I get it, we’ve got three losses. “When you look at our strength of schedule (No. 15 in FBS), our wins on the road (4-1) in tough environments,” he continued, “we aren’t playing in front of 20,000 people like some teams do. We go into hostile environments every single week. Our only loss on the road is a two-point loss” at Alabama. The No. 15 Gamecocks (9-3) went into Saturday in the playoff picture but, per ESPN’s Playoff Predictor, had just a 58% chance of making the 12-team field with a win over Clemson (9-3). But then they actually beat the Tigers, defeating another ranked team to finish the season on a six-game winning streak. If the playoff is about finding the true top dozen teams, Beamer argued, how could South Carolina be left out? “If the committee’s job is to pick the 12 best teams,” Beamer said, “you tell me on selection Sunday, if South Carolina pops up in that bracket, I don’t know anyone that would be excited about playing this team the way we’re playing. That is what I judge it on.” Whether or not it will be a part of the selection committee’s decision when they choose the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff field next Sunday, Beamer made a pretty convincing point. To look across college football is to see a bunch of mercurial teams. On Friday, Georgia needed eight overtimes to beat a 7-5 Georgia Tech team . Just as the Clemson-South Carolina game went final, Michigan (7-5) knocked off No. 2 Ohio State. And that all comes just a week after six teams ranked in the Top 16 lost. Yet, South Carolina just keeps winning. The Gamecocks have not faltered since Oct. 12 . While they do have three blemishes on their record — losses to LSU, Ole Miss and Alabama — there’s no truly ugly loss. “I don’t know if there is a hotter team in America than what we are,” Beamer said. “Six wins in a row, four over ranked opponents, on the road for two of them. Outside of the Alabama loss, this was the first close road game we had all season. “We are hot,” he added. “You want to be a team that is playing their best football at the end of the season. We sure are.” When is the next College Football Playoff rankings release? The next College Football Playoff show and Top 25 release is 7 p.m. Tuesday on ESPN. The final CFP selections and playoff bracket will be revealed at noon next Sunday, Dec. 8.

Daily Post Nigeria PDP NWC dismisses Ikenga Ugochinyere’s expulsion by ward EXCO Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Politics PDP NWC dismisses Ikenga Ugochinyere’s expulsion by ward EXCO Published on December 7, 2024 By Seun Opejobi The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the expulsion of the House of Representative member from Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency of Imo State, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, as null and void. PDP National Working Committee, NWC, said Ugochinyere’s expulsion by his Ward chapter of the party was of no effect. The PDP Umuopia/Umukegwu Ward chapter of the PDP had expelled Ugochinyere for gross indiscipline, insubordination and anti-party activities. Ugochinyere’s expulsion was contained in a letter from the Ideato LGA chapter of PDP, dated December 5, 2024. The letter was signed by the LG party chairman, ThankGod Okeke, and the secretary, Onyebuchi Umeh. Ugochinyere’s expulsion followed the report of the party’s disciplinary committee, dated November 27, 2024, which investigated misconduct charges against him in line with Section 57 (1-4) of the PDP Constitution, 2017, as amended. The lawmaker was initially suspended at his Umuopia/Umukegwu ward on October 14, 2024, after failing to honor an invitation to appear before the ward executive committee on October 5, 2024. He was summoned to answer allegations of disciplinary offenses, and ignoring reminders and further invitations sent to him on October 7, 2024. However, in a statement on Saturday, the PDP NWC insisted that Ugochinyere is a bonafide member of the party with all rights and privileges. Parts of the statement, signed by PDP spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, read: “The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) @OfficialPDPNig has been drawn to the purported expulsion of Hon. Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu @IkengaImo from the Party by the Umuopia/Umukegwu Ward Chapter of the PDP in Imo State. “The NWC declares the said purported expulsion as null and void and of no effect, not being consistent with the express provision of Sections 57 (7) and 59 (3) of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) and laid down Rules of our great Party.” The party relied on Section 57 (7) of its Constitution to affirm Ugochinyere’s continued membership. Meanwhile, the LG chairmen of the PDP in Imo State at the weekend named Ugochinyere the leader of the party in the state. Ugochinyere is the highest ranking government official elected on the PDP platform in Imo State. The Imo PDP local government leaders, who passed vote of confidence on Ugochinyere, also insisted that the party’s acting national chairman, Umar Damagun, and national secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, should be immediately removed to pave way for the reinvigoration of the opposition party.

All countries, no matter their development status, are affected by climate change. For example, this month has seen floods in Valencia, Spain, claiming more than 200 lives, and flooding in Colombia causing a state of emergency affecting over 200,000 people. In China, the rated precipitation in the first three quarters of this year was 10.5 percent higher than in the same period of a normal year, with extreme rainfall, and sudden and frequent floods and climate-related disasters resulting in a large number of casualties, relocation of people and economic losses. Multilateral talks at the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, have delivered some progress, especially on climate finance. The just-concluded Baku conference was “finance COP” where a new goal for climate finance was negotiated. According to the deal, developed countries have promised to contribute $300 billion as climate finance per year by 2035. Though it was far short of the trillion dollars sought by the least- and less-developed countries, it was a hard-won achievement for developing countries. For the first time the total climate finance includes a possible voluntary contribution from China, which acknowledges its position both as a major economy and a major investor in green technology in developing countries. The participating countries also agreed to the rules of the carbon market, which should boost market-oriented cooperation on climate and enable businesses to support the recovery of nature and promotion of carbon removal technologies in other countries. However, there was less progress on climate mitigation aspects. At the COP28 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, last year, the participating countries agreed to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 and transition away from fossil fuels. Yet it was difficult to reach a consensus on the mitigation work program which would continue this progress in Baku, with the participating countries eventually deciding to revisit the issue next year and continue talking meanwhile. The slow progress on multilateral issues means there is increasing focus on bilateral, sub-national and country-group dialogues that can offer ways to further progress. Amid rising political tensions worldwide, strong bilateral cooperation between the United Kingdom and China can provide the international leadership needed to boost the fight against climate change this decade. During the COP29 talks in Baku, British and Chinese leaders met at the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and agreed to cooperate on areas such as clean energy and climate change as part of their efforts to address shared global challenges. Following this meeting, and to support both multilateral and bilateral cooperation, we propose that our expert climate change committees advance our interactions. Our committees have different mandates and institutional structures. Nevertheless, we can collaborate effectively to better advise our countries on how to decarbonize and achieve green transition in a way that creates jobs and boosts the economy. The UK climate committee recently advised the UK government on its 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution, while the Chinese climate committee is advising the Chinese government on how to achieve its dual carbon goals and minimize climate risks, as well as support the international climate negotiations. Both countries could reach a broader and more practical consensus with support from their respective climate committees. Supported by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment and Chatham House, the UK climate science community and policy experts have been collaborating since 2013 in order to better understand the risks posed by climate change, and the policies needed to improve resilience against climate change. In the last two years, this collaboration has deepened. The two countries’ climate committees have jointly explored how to provide constructive advice to our governments across a range of agreed issues of common interest and relevance to our respective national context. We, hereby, propose that our expert committees advance the interaction within their current institutional structures to help us better advise our respective governments. There is a need to support our countries’ efforts to decarbonize their energy supply while ensuring energy security. Both countries have ambitious plans to increase renewable energy generation and our committees can support this effort through their work. The committees can further deepen their collaboration on evaluating climate risks, especially in urban and regional areas, and river basins. We also need to better understand and link climate governance with nature governance. Piers Forster, interim chair of the UK Climate Change Committee, presented the results from the London Climate Resilience Review at two China-led events on the sidelines of COP29, and the UK climate committee is preparing a report on how well can the UK adapt to climate change. As an expert in the Chinese delegation, Wang Yi, vice-chair of China Expert Panel on Climate Change, was invited to the “China Pavilion” on the sidelines the official events of the UNFCCC, and various events organised by the business communities and social organisations at COP29, to speak on the progress of the climate conference, share China’s experience in energy transition, and policies to address climate change and overcome common challenges. Experts and scholars from the UK and China, who have been engaged in cooperation and have attended several UN climate change conferences, shared their research findings and assessment of climate risk assessment, asserting the need to link climate governance with nature management. And by deepening their cooperation, they can improve our climate risk assessments and response. In order to build a greener, more climate-resilient and inclusive sustainable society, the UK and China should take full advantage of their successful climate cooperation over the past decade to further deepen our cooperation. The two countries could also consider issuing a joint statement to promote the multilateral climate agenda. And workstreams could be set up with focus on clean energy transition, co-governance of climate and nature, reducing climate risks, strengthening climate-resilience, green finance to work together with other countries to promote the green transition in an equitable, just and orderly manner, and facilitate sustainable economic development. We look forward to the UK and China formally submitting comprehensive and strong NDCs for 2035. By progressing toward these targets, the two sides can set an example for the rest of the world to follow.Ghana’s love for music is a vibrant blend of local and global rhythms.
