Amy Dowden left Strictly Come Dancing fans delighted after she made an unexpected early return to the show following her shock departure two weeks ago. The beloved Welsh dancer, who was paired with JLS star JB Gill before she was forced to withdraw from the competition, was seen in the background of several shots mingling with her professional dancer co-stars during host Claudia Winkleman's post-dance interviews in Saturday night's live show. Fans quickly took to social media to share their surprise at seeing Amy, who dazzled in a hot pink glittering dress. "So good to see the lovely Amy back on screen," penned one fan, as another wrote: "Loved seeing Amy in the auditorium tonight. In awe of her beauty. Also how gorgeous is her dress? So stunning." Showing her support for her former co-star after the show, Amy wrote: "So PROUD of you @jbgill. Would do anything in the world to be out there on the floor with you but you are shining and everyone is seeing your talent!" It was announced on Monday 4 November that Amy would not be continuing with the competition due to an injury.The news came after the Welsh dancer collapsed shortly after a live performance, for which paramedics had to be called to Elstree Studios. An East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called just after 21.00 BST on Saturday to attend a medical emergency at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood. "An ambulance was sent to the scene. One patient, an adult female, was transported to Barnet hospital for further care." Following the incident, it was confirmed on Strictly: It Takes Two that Amy would be withdrawing from the competition, with her co-star Lauren Oakley stepping in to continue JB's training on the show. "Sadly, Amy Dowden MBE will not be partaking in the rest of the competition this year. Whilst Amy focuses on her recovery following a foot injury, fellow professional dancer, Lauren Oakley, will step in as JB's dance partner. "The health and wellbeing of everyone involved in Strictly are always the utmost priority. The whole Strictly family sends Amy love and well wishes." The news came as a great heartbreak to Amy, who returned to the dancefloor this year after completing her treatment for breast cancer.WASHINGTON — It’s a short phrase in the Constitution, mentioned in passing. But it’s already taking on an outsize significance as President-elect Donald Trump charts his return to office. The withdrawal of Matt Gaetz as Trump’s nominee for attorney general dramatically affirmed that the Senate still maintains its “advice and consent” powers when it comes to vetting and installing a president’s Cabinet. Yet it may be only a brief reprieve from the intense struggles to come as Senate Republicans try to preserve their constitutional role. Trump has been making his Cabinet announcements at a rapid clip, often over social media, and frequently catching GOP senators off guard. Gaetz’s selection on Nov. 13, in particular, left Republicans shocked and momentarily dumbfounded. His withdrawal just over a week later came just as suddenly, leaving many grasping for words. Within hours, Trump had moved on, announcing on social media that he had selected another loyalist, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, to run the Justice Department. Over the weekend, Trump filled out the rest of his Cabinet selections. The dizzying speed of the picks has given Trump’s second term in office a bracing start, a show of force from a president-elect who has made clear he intends to fill his administration with officials who are willing to upend the ways of Washington. His desire to pack the government with loyalists and wield executive power in expansive ways seems certain to result in frequent clashes with Congress, even with Republicans in control. “From what I’m hearing from my Republican colleagues on everything from defense secretary to other posts, it sounds like they are ready to roll over for Mr. Trump,” Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Republican senators are choosing their words carefully as they size up Trump’s proposed Cabinet, while also issuing gentle reminders about their role in the confirmation process. “The constitutional directive is clear, and it does not change based upon the personalities involved,” said Sen. Mike Rounds, a South Dakota Republican. “The way I approach it, the president has a responsibility to make nominations, and we give him the benefit of the doubt, but we do have a responsibility for ‘advice and consent.’” Gaetz’s nomination was sunk after Republican senators had privately become wary of a volatile confirmation hearing amid allegations he had sex with an underage girl. As many as four to six GOP senators were signaling their reservations, according to one outgoing Republican senator, Mike Braun of Indiana, though the number was certainly higher. With Democrats ready to oppose Cabinet nominees they view as unqualified and extreme, Trump’s margin for error is narrow. Republicans are set to have a 53-47 majority in the next Senate, so defections from just four Republicans would mean defeat for any nominee that doesn’t enjoy bipartisan support. Other Cabinet picks also face a complicated path to confirmation. Trump’s transition team has so far not signed the requisite agreements that allow the FBI to screen his personnel choices, sending nominees before the Senate without the typical vetting that happens beforehand. So far, Trump’s nominees have included for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality who was accused of sexual assault, which he denies; for secretary for health and human services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has also faced allegations of sexual misconduct as well as concern about his opposition to vaccines; and for national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic House member who has echoed Russian propaganda and talking points. Those picks fall outside the Republican mainstream and are a notable departure from when Trump entered the White House the first time and mostly chose from the ranks of Republican officials well-respected across Washington. “The Constitution gives us a role in personnel called ‘advice and consent,’” said Sen. Mitch McConnell, the outgoing Senate Republican leader who will remain in office next year. “My view is that’s exactly what will unfold here when these nominees are actually sent forward, and we will treat them like we’ve treated all others with proper vetting.” Still, Trump’s allies argue that senators need to be ready to confirm the Cabinet, no matter who is chosen. “The president deserves to be able to put people in place who will do what he campaigned on, which is to disrupt, and the establishment is concerned, and they probably should be,” said Sen. Eric Schmitt, a Missouri Republican, adding, “I fully support President Trump’s ability to pick his people to go do that.” After Gaetz’s withdrawal, Trump supporters on social media and in activist circles circulated the names of Republicans they believed were holding out support. Charlie Kirk, whose conservative youth organization Turning Points Action worked closely with the Trump campaign, is already organizing a “grassroots army” to pressure senators to confirm his nominees. That might not even matter. Trump has also demanded that Senate Republicans agree to allow him to make recess appointments, a process whereby the Senate would adjourn so that Trump could use a constitutional power to make appointments while the chamber is in recess. Sen. John Thune, who will take over as Senate majority leader in January, has kept that option on the table, saying he would be inclined to use it if Democrats try to delay confirmations. It would be unprecedented in modern times for the Senate to step aside willingly to allow the president to make top-level Cabinet appointments. Experts say it would amount to surrendering the chamber’s constitutional power over Cabinet choices. “It’s crystallized the choices for Senate Republicans,” said Sarah Binder, a political scientist at George Washington University. “Who is your loyalty to and how far are you willing to put your loyalty to President Trump above your procedural rights and constitutional powers?” Yet some Trump allies have also discussed a scenario where the Republican-controlled House could vote to adjourn Congress. Even if the Senate declined to adjourn also, that could theoretically create a “disagreement” between the two chambers, which allows the president to tap a constitutional authority to adjourn Congress until a time he thinks is “proper.” Still, that constitutional provision has never been tried, and Binder asserted that it would still be within the Senate leaders’ ability to promptly call the chamber back into session. But it would also be a further test for the senators. “A constitutional system doesn’t work unless those in the institutions stand up and fight to maintain their constitutional rights of advice and consent,” said Binder.

Feeling devastated and overwhelmed by financial ruin, Mrs. Lin and Jane decided to seek help from the police, hoping to bring the scammers to justice and potentially recover some of their lost funds. However, instead of providing compassion and assistance, the officers they encountered brazenly belittled their situation and even made disparaging remarks about their decision to invest in the first place.Leicester could be snubbed by Graham Potter for a THIRD time as they begin search to replace sacked Steve Cooper, with two former Man United managers on their radar Steve Cooper was sacked on Sunday after managing just 15 games for Leicester Three managers have been earmarked to succeed the Welshman at the helm Liverpool correspondent LEWIS STEELE tells all on bombshell chat with Mo Salah - LISTEN NOW to It's All Kicking Off! New episodes every Monday and Thursday By TOM COLLOMOSSE and SAMI MOKBEL Published: 23:08, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 23:13, 25 November 2024 e-mail View comments Leicester have begun sounding out potential replacements for Steve Cooper with the club still hopeful they will have his successor in charge for Saturday’s match at Brentford . The Foxes are expected to make progress in their search on Tuesday, with the players due to resume training after 48 hours off. Coach Ben Dawson was due to lead the session as director of football Jon Rudkin attempts to appoint a permanent boss. David Moyes is thought to be among the names Leicester were keen to sound out, although it is unclear whether the former Everton and West Ham boss would want the job, given he would surely be a contender to return to Goodison Park if Sean Dyche fails to improve results. Mail Sport understands Leicester put out feelers to Graham Potter on Sunday night though yet again, Potter is thought to have been unconvinced. Potter was approached by Leicester after they sacked Brendan Rodgers 18 months ago, and after Enzo Maresca left for Chelsea at the end of last season. Steve Cooper was sacked after a 2-1 loss to Chelsea, amid a run of four games without a win David Moyes left West Ham in May after declining to enter negotiations over a new contract Graham Potter has not managed a club since April 2023, when he was sacked by Chelsea Ruud van Nistelrooy has been a manager since 2021 and has permanently managed two clubs Potter was reluctant to commit himself on both occasions and the signs are that he may swerve it a third time. That would leave former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who put himself forward for the job last summer. Van Nistelrooy impressed during his brief period in charge of United, between the sacking of Erik ten Hag and the appointment of Ruben Amorim. But it would be a gamble to appoint a coach who has such little Premier League experience.

For many older individuals, starting their own business or pursuing self-employment can be a viable alternative to traditional employment. Government policies can support older entrepreneurs by providing access to funding, mentoring programs, and business development resources. By fostering entrepreneurship among older workers, policymakers can help create a more dynamic and flexible labor market that accommodates the diverse needs and aspirations of older individuals.For Trey Dremel, much of life is dictated by his commute. Every weekday morning, he leaves Morgan Hill before dawn, driving at 4 a.m. to try and skip the traffic flowing north so he can make it to work on the Peninsula on time. Most nights, he is in bed by 7:30 p.m. so he can wake up again for the early drive. While the commute and the schedule is demanding, Dremel said it’s his best option to make ends meet, “beat traffic,” and “have some kind of life.” Dremel — who helps prepare buildings for when companies move in to offices from Mountain View to Sunnyvale — is one of tens of thousands of commuters who head north into Silicon Valley for work. A Mercury News analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau confirmed what many commuting into Silicon Valley already know: While jobs are to the north, affordable housing is to the south. But the squeeze between housing and jobs has led to an imbalance that is hurting the bedroom communities on the southern edge of Silicon Valley — taxing their residents with long commutes, disrupting communities and stretching city services to their limits. “Who wants to travel that far to work? If there was something closer with similar pay, I think everybody would jump on board,” said Dremel, a father of two. “I wasn’t paying the bills enough. That’s when I started commuting. ... Everybody’s close to the same situation: more people living down here and going up there for the money.” Northern Silicon Valley has more than 16 times the population of the bedroom communities to the south, and over 30 times as many jobs, according to a Mercury News analysis of 2022 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. This means that, in general, someone living in northern Silicon Valley — defined here as San Mateo County and northern Santa Clara County — is roughly twice as likely to find a job near where they live compared to someone living to the south. And that job is likely to pay much better. The average annual earnings for someone working in 2023 in Gilroy were $49,928, according to the Census Bureau. In San Jose, that number was $61,675, and in Palo Alto it was $128,779. Rent is, in general, less expensive farther south. Median monthly cost for rent and utilities in Palo Alto is $3,306 and in San Jose it is $2,574. In Gilroy and Hollister, those numbers are $2,270 and $1,846, respectively. Because of this, the communities on the southern edges of Silicon Valley have long attracted those looking for cheaper housing and become exporters of workers, sending tens of thousands to workplaces away from where they live and, largely, to jobs hubs in the north. Often, driving is the only viable option, since commuters to the south have only a fraction of the options for public transit . This means that someone living south of San Jose is three times as likely to be driving an hour or more to work than someone living further north. Gilroy native Deanna Jackson commutes two hours or more round trip every weekday to her job in San Jose. While she is glad to have affordable housing and a steady job, she said the drive can be taxing on her mental state and social life. “I can’t be there for people when I spend so much time in my car,” said Jackson. “To not be able to be a part of my niece’s softball games, or nurse for people when they’re sick, or go to choir performances ... it makes it so hard to feel connected to the people who are important to you.” Her concerns were echoed during several interviews with commuters and their families, who said their time on the road takes away from their opportunity to engage with their communities and their families. “You live in this rat race,” said Jackson. “Living in a commuter town, there’s not a big community feel.” The impact goes beyond social costs, however. For more suburban cities, property tax is a far less effective source of income than sales tax or other revenue that comes from business. This means that when the population grows without business growth, the money to serve that population doesn’t keep pace. That leaves communities with a poor jobs balance in a precarious position when it comes to providing for their residents. A mix of housing growth and lack of funding has strained their infrastructure — and, when paired with planning missteps, has led to disastrous breaking points. Hollister saw unchecked housing growth in the ’90s and early 2000s, which began to overburden its sewage system. This led to leaks from sewage ponds and reports of sewage backing up into people’s homes . In May 2002, the problem came to a head when a sewage treatment pond burst, spilling 15 million gallons of wastewater into the nearby San Benito River. The disaster triggered $1.2 million in fines from the state and a moratorium on growth until the city built another treatment plant — an effort that took six years and quadrupled sewer rates. Farther north, Gilroy has well-documented issues with funding and staffing its fire department . Along with flagging response times, an analysis of the department showed that, in case of a violent earthquake, certain fire stations would be liable to collapse on fire engines, leaving the department unable to respond in a time of dire emergency. This contrasts with Palo Alto, which has more than five times as many jobs per population than Gilroy, and nearly twice as many firefighters per capita than Gilroy. The blend of social and logistical woes has led many to call for their cities to hit the brakes on housing growth. Hollister saw every single incumbent on the City Council replaced by candidates who called for “slow growth,” and San Benito County — where Hollister is located — approved a restrictive measure that would require developers to get voter approval before building on farmland. Even so, many familiar with state housing laws say there are limits to what an individual city can do to slow growth, since the state requires regions to build a certain number of housing units as part of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation, or RHNA. Others say the solution lies in building more housing closer to the job centers. “The Bay Area has not produced enough housing for its workforce or its residents,” said Michael Lane, state policy director at the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association. “We need more housing where the jobs are and where the infrastructure is. ... Just outsourcing the housing doesn’t work and it has all kinds of negative impacts.” Several Bay Area housing experts and advocates echoed the sentiment that building more housing was the best tool to relieve the imbalance and its impacts. While all noted that the RHNA process was imperfect, they acknowledged that it was moving in the right direction by requiring job-heavy cities to pull their weight without leaving more suburban cities off the hook. For example, Palo Alto, which has the most jobs per capita in Silicon Valley, is asked to build three times as much housing as similarly sized Gilroy. Still, many local leaders throughout the region argue over how much housing should grow and where, and even if the new housing requirements fairly address the imbalance, they will take years to be put into practice. In the meantime, those farther to the south are attempting to address the jobs imbalance by focusing on bringing more jobs to their cities. In Gilroy, several candidates came into office riding a wave of pro-business sentiment , and others in Morgan Hill promised a city where residents could live and work . The candidates have proposed a series of measures ranging from improving tourism , revitalizing businesses and downtowns, and in Gilroy, trying to bring back the Garlic Festival . All the while, the housing-heavy cities and the commuters who live in them carry on making the best of their situations. That’s true at least for Miles Reese, who moved to Gilroy six years ago and now oversees security for Google’s campuses. Reese reflected what many commuters expressed: resigned acceptance of how things are. “I use it as time for myself,” said Reese of his commute. “It’s tough, but everybody’s got to make a living. ... It is what it is.”

Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, has died at 100 ATLANTA (AP) — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife Rosalynn then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most internationally engaged of former presidents. The Carter Center said he died peacefully Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family. Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’ PLAINS, Ga. (AP) — The 39th and longest-lived U.S. president, James Earl Carter Jr., died Sunday at the age of 100. His life ended where it began, in Plains, Georgia. He left and returned to the tiny town many times as he climbed to the nation’s highest office and lost it after four tumultuous years. Carter spent the next 40 years setting new standards for what a former president can do. Carter wrote nearly a decade ago that he found all the phases of his life challenging but also successful and enjoyable. The Democrat's principled but pragmatic approach defied American political labels, especially the idea that one-term presidents are failures.

Jetliner skids off runway and bursts into flames while landing in South Korea, killing 179 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A jetliner skidded off a runway, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames in South Korea after its landing gear apparently failed to deploy. Officials said all but two of the 181 people on board were killed Sunday in one of the country’s worst aviation disasters. The 737-800 operated by Jeju Air plane arrived from Bangkok and crashed while attempting to land in the town of Muan, about 290 kilometers (180 miles) south of Seoul. Footage of the crash aired by South Korean television channels showed the plane skidding across the airstrip at high speed, evidently with its landing gear still closed. Tornadoes in Texas and Mississippi kill 2 and injure 6 as severe weather system moves east HOUSTON (AP) — A strong storm system is threatening to whip up tornadoes in parts of the U.S. Southeast, a day after severe weather claimed at least two lives as twisters touched down in Texas and Mississippi. Strong storms moving eastward Sunday are expected to continue producing gusty, damaging winds, hail and tornadoes through Sunday. That is according to National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Pereira. So far, the line of severe weather has led to about 40 tornado reports from southeastern Texas to Alabama, Pereira said, but those reports remain unconfirmed until surveys of damage are completed. Israeli hospital says Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An Israeli hospital says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery. Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center said his prostate was removed late Sunday and that he was recovering. Netanyahu’s office had said Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, would serve as acting prime minister during the procedure. Doctors ordered the operation after detecting an infection last week. Netanyahu is expected to remain hospitalized for several days. With so much at stake, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world. Syria's de facto leader says it could take up to 4 years to hold elections BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s de facto leader has said it could take up to four years to hold elections in Syria, and that he plans on dissolving his Islamist group that led the country’s insurgency at an anticipated national dialogue summit for the country. Ahmad al-Sharaa, who leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the group leading the new authority in Syria, made the remarks in an interview Sunday. That's according to the Saudi television network Al-Arabiyya. It comes almost a month after a lightning insurgency led by HTS overthrew President Bashar Assad’s decades-long rule, ending the country’s uprising-turned civil war that started back in 2011. A fourth infant dies of the winter cold in Gaza as families share blankets in seaside tents DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — A fourth infant has died of hypothermia in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by nearly 15 months of war are huddled in tents along the rainy, windswept coast as winter arrives. The baby's father says the 20-day-old child was found with his head as “cold as ice” Sunday morning in their tent. The baby’s twin brother was moved to the intensive care unit of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Their father says the twins were born one month premature and spent just a day in hospital, which like other Gaza health centers has been overwhelmed and only partially functions. Musk causes uproar for backing Germany's far-right party ahead of key elections BERLIN (AP) — Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has caused uproar after backing Germany’s far-right party in a major newspaper ahead of key parliamentary elections in the Western European country, leading to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor in protest. Germany is to vote in an early election on Feb. 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalize the country’s stagnant economy. Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag, published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month he supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD.First and foremost, it is essential to consider the quality of the down jacket before making a purchase.
