Scottish Government to issue first bonds after receiving credit rating update, as independence warning given

Finance Secretary Shona Robison has described Scotland as a “safe bet” for investors as the Scottish Government prepares to issue its first financial bonds. The Scottish Government has been given the same credit rating as the UK. Credit rating company Mood’s gave the Government an Aa3 rating and S&P Global rated it as AA. Ms Robison told the BBC: “This focuses on the Scottish economy and the Scottish Government’s financial stewardship and Scotland’s ability to be a safe bet for investors. “It’s creating a gateway on a global stage to encourage investment in Scotland and persuade investors that Scotland is a safe place to invest, and that is good for our economy.” The Government wants to issue bonds which will allow it to borrow money from investors, who will receive regular interest payments in return. This will raise money for infrastructure projects. First thing Monday to Friday, The Steamie newsletter bring you the best political news and analysis Moody’s praised the Scottish Government’s “prudent fiscal management” and the country’s economic stability. S&P Global said the Scottish economy was “strong” and operating “within a stable and predictable institutional framework that provides strong oversight and well-defined arrangements with the UK central government”. However, both agencies said their ratings could be cut if Scotland becomes independent. Ms Robison said: “Two global credit rating agencies have rated Scotland the same as the UK and better than Spain, Italy and Japan, and points to the strength of our economy, the strong institutional framework and the prudent financial management of the Scottish Government.” The Scottish Government has had the power to issue bonds since 2014. However, it has instead borrowed money from the UK national loan fund, which is seen as a cheaper way to raise money. Bonds could offer better value for money under certain circumstances and greater flexibility. The Scottish bonds are being nicknamed “kilts” - a play on the word gilt which refers to the bonds issued by the UK government. The Scottish Government is allowed to borrow up to £472 million for capital investment over the next year. This would take its capital borrowing to £2,7 billion, close to its legal limit of £3.1bn.

EU ‘will do everything it can’ for interconnector

The European Commission will “continue to do everything it can” to promote the planned Great Sea Interconnector project, European energy commissioner Dan Jorgensen said on Thursday. He was speaking to the Cyprus News Agency after a meeting with the energy ministers of Cyprus and Greece, George Papanastasiou and Stavros Papastavrou, over the project, which, if completed, will connect the electricity grids of Cyprus, Greece, and Israel, and described that meeting as “productive”. “We discussed key energy initiatives, such as the Great Sea Interconnector, a project which the EU strongly supports,” he said, before making reference to the “energy highways” mentioned by European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen during her “state of the European Union” address in September. Those “energy highways”, he said, “include the electrical interconnection of Cyprus with mainland Europe, thus ending the island’s electricity isolation”. “The European Commission will continue to do everything it can to promote this project. I look forward to continuing to work with Greece and Cyprus to make it a reality … Better and enhanced interconnection is essential for the EU, to lower energy prices for people and businesses and to secure our energy independence,” he said. His comments came after the governments of Cyprus and Greece had agreed to “update the economic and technical parameters” of the project during an intergovernmental summit in Athens on Wednesday. Papanastasiou explained later on Wednesday night that this would include an update to the project’s feasibility studies. “We have concluded that the … project must undergo an update, even in the financial aspect. The most important parameter of this study is to attract strong investors, who will have the ability to implement the project, so that the challenges surrounding the financial and possibly the technical aspects are sustainable,” he said. He added that “with this logic, we are moving in the direction” of a new feasibility study, “so as to integrate the techno-economic aspect into the new environment, which aims to find strong players and funds which will be able to financially strengthen the project”. Papastavrou, too, said the plans for a new feasibility study and updated “economic and technical parameters” are now afoot “in view of the potential investment interest”. “We highlighted the need for Europe to move quickly, to strengthen interconnection projects, and to further de-escalate the price of energy for households and businesses,” he said. Earlier in the day, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the move will allow the project to be “strengthened with the entry of new, strong investors, which is to the benefit of all of us”. Meanwhile, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides said the two countries are “moving forward in full coordination in expanding our mutual and regional energy cooperation and interconnectivity”. “I will agree with Mitsotakis that our common goal is to take essential actions for the effective implementation of projects which will have tangible economic benefits as well as a geopolitical footprint, and it is precisely in this context that we have agreed with [Mitsotakis] to update the economic and technical parameters,” he said. Opening the project to further investment may soothe the rift between the Cypriot and Greek governments which has been rumbling for months over the Cypriot government’s initial agreement to make five annual payments of €25 million to Greece’s independent transmission system operator Admie for the project. The payments would be made in advance of the project’s completion, and ould in effect help finance the project and ensure that Admie, its 51 per cent shareholder and implementing body, will have a stable income while investing in the project before it turns a profit. However, the Cypriot government has thus far withheld the funds, cited a lack of tangible progress on the project and differences in opinion regarding how the money should be sourced as its reasons behind not paying the money. Cypriot Energy Minister George Papanastasiou had said in September that Cyprus will pay the first €25m instalment when the project is being “implemented in its entirety”, and that the construction of cables alone is “not enough” to meet this criterion. Differences between the two governments became further entrenched Cypriot Finance Minister Makis Keravnos accused Papastavrou of “fake news” over the matter, with Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis calling for clarity regarding Cyprus’ position the following day. Keravnos’ comments had come after Papastavrou had said that he “does not show” the studies which he claimed demonstrate the project is not sustainable. In response, he said the studies had been commissioned by Papanastasiou, that they were “properly delivered” to the Greek energy ministry, and that they had even been sent to Papastavrou’s predecessor Theodoros Skylakakis. Papastavrou had previously decried what he described as “constantly conflicting messages from the Cypriot side” over the matter. In more positive news for the interconnector, Papanastasiou attended a ‘3+1’ meeting of the energy ministers of Cyprus, Greece, Israel, and the United States last week, where the four ministers present – Papanastasiou, Papastavrou, Eli Cohen of Israel, and Chris Wright of the US, had also made reference to electrical interconnection projects. The four had committed to “use the 3+1 format to support the goal of diversifying the region’s energy supplies by reducing reliance on malign actors and improving connectivity between likeminded regional partners”, with the statement also declaring their aim to meet again in Washington DC between April and June next year.

Robins will flock to your garden if you put out one fruit

Many of us love seeing robins in our gardens, and there's actually a simple trick you can use to make sure they keep coming back to your outdoor space. They're common at this time of year and, with most of us associating them with Christmas, it's lovely to see them popping by throughout November and December. According to Kingsyard Official, a company that makes bird feeders , adding one simple fruit to your feeder can help attract them to your garden this winter. What's even better is that you likely already have this everyday fruit at home, making it really easy to do. After all, it's important to look after wildlife and support them as much as we can. This is exactly why you should do your part to help robins this winter, and leaving certain items outside can make a difference. However, if you want to attract them, there's a simple approach you can take. Kingsyard Official shared on Instagram: "How to attract robins to your feeders? American robins aren't typical feeder visitors, but they love open ground and platform feeders. "Try adding apple slices, raisins, suet, mealworms or peanut hearts to draw them in. As winter approaches, robins will be looking for fresh water.", reports the Mirror . "Consider setting up a heated bird bath to welcome these beautiful birds during the colder months". Robins become much more visible throughout the winter months as natural food sources dwindle, making them more likely to appear in gardens and at bird tables whilst foraging for food. The lack of dense foliage on trees and bushes also makes these small creatures easier to spot. Interestingly, some robins from mainland Europe actually migrate to the UK for the winter, increasing local populations. As autumn sets in, their natural food supplies start to decrease and they begin establishing winter territories. This explains why they're already starting to reappear and you might even hear their distinctive "autumn song". What many people may not know is that these charming birds became associated with Christmas due to Victorian-era postmen. In those days, postmen wore bright red uniforms and earned the nickname "robins". From then on, these delightful creatures have been linked to the festive season. Today, numerous people look forward to spotting them in their gardens throughout the winter months. Many might not be aware that robins have a particular fondness for apples, especially during the autumn and winter months when their diet shifts from insects to fruits and berries. To attract them, you can offer small, fresh apple slices or place them on a bird platform feeder. Robins naturally gravitate towards berries and fruits from trees and shrubs, which explains their attraction to fruit. As the temperature falls and insects become less abundant, fruit becomes a crucial part of their diet. The key is to ensure the fruit remains in prime condition and doesn't develop mould. If it does, discard it and replace it with fresh fruit. Some experts advise against offering them high-sugar fruits like grapes. However, if you're short on apples, there are other alternatives you can provide. Dried fruits such as raisins could also be left out for them. They're also partial to pears and peanuts, provided they're chopped up small. There are a few odds and ends you can leave out for them to help the birds through the winter.

The great cash crash: ATM explosions drop in Germany, pop up in Austria

ATM attacks have dropped to 115 so far this year, less than a quarter of their peak of more than one a day – 496 – in 2022, according to German police data provided to Reuters. The spree of explosions has terrorized residents throughout Germany, where – in contrast to other countries – cash remains popular and ATMs are often built directly beneath apartments and in pedestrian zones. The damage has amounted to more than 400 million euros ($466.48 million) since 2020. “The threat level in Germany remains high, particularly in light of the use … of extremely unstable explosives,” according to a September report by Germany’s top crime-fighters at the federal criminal police, or BKA. Now the gangs are driving a bit further to Austria, where using cash is still widespread. Attacks in Austria have doubled this year in what the BKA told Reuters was likely “a squeezing-out effect from Germany”. Dutch police have suspected hundreds of men are responsible, working in ever-evolving groups as new recruits replace those caught. GERMANS STILL LOVE TO USE CASH Underscoring the shift to Austria, prosecutors said a Dutchman who stole 220,000 euros from cash machines near Frankfurt in 2023 blew up ATMs in Vienna earlier this year, getting away with 89,000 euros in booty and causing 1.5 million euros in damage. The person was taken into custody on a European arrest warrant and is awaiting trial. Over the years, this modern twist on the old-fashioned bank heist arose out of two distinctly German factors, investigators say. First, Germany is a wealthy nation whose residents love to use cash for purchases, meaning ATMs are aplenty. And second, Germany’s famous highway network makes for a quick getaway. German banks have also invested more than 300 million euros in security in recent years, according to the most recent figures from Deutsche Kreditwirtschaft, an umbrella group for financial institutions, a drop in the ocean for a sector where profits collectively top 50 billion euros annually. The measures include mechanisms that blow a thick fog when machines are tampered with or emit dyes that render bills unusable. Many banks now lock lobbies around ATMs at night. The thefts are less sophisticated than many online scams, where law enforcement in Germany and across the globe are battling a surge. Last week, Germany announced arrests after a years-long probe of fraudsters who – with the help of German payment providers, sham websites and fictitious companies – stole more than 300 million euros from people in 193 countries. CASES FALL IN GERMANY, RISE IN AUSTRIA Cases fell this year in all but three of Germany’s 16 states, according to police statistics. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which borders the Netherlands, was one of the hardest hit in 2022 with 182 attacks. So far this year, they are down to just 25. Despite the decline, collateral damage is still significant, police there pointed out, with one attack in January near Cologne causing 1.8 million euros in damage. Police credit cooperation with Dutch investigators to locate and nab suspects. The majority of culprits have been Dutch, but some are German, French and Moldovan. Dutch police did not respond to questions from Reuters but in the past have acknowledged the trend. Police in the state of Hesse, home to Germany’s banking capital Frankfurt, created a tool that generates a probability forecast of an ATM getting hit, based on make, location and other variables. Last week, Germany’s parliament voted to increase prison sentences for such attacks. In Austria, cases have risen to 29 so far this year, up from 13 in 2024, according to figures from the interior ministry, which said they first detected the Dutch gangs in 2023. Austrians have the highest preference for paying in cash in the euro zone, a 2024 European Central Bank study found, meaning plenty of ATMs. Police there said they are cooperating closely with the police in Germany and the Netherlands.

देश एउटा विषम परिस्थितिमा थियो । निर्वाचित प्रधानमन्त्रीले राजीनामा दिएको अवस्था थियो । ठूलो जनधनको क्षतिका कारण मानिसहरू आफूलाई असुरक्षित महसुस गरिरहेका थिए । राष्ट्रपतिज्यूबाट आगामी २१ फागुनमा निर्वाचनको अभिभारासहित नयाँ सरकारको गठन भएको यहाँहरू सबैमा अवगतै छ । त्यस विषम परिस्थितिमा सरकारलाई अवस्थालाई सामान्यीकरण गर्ने, जेन–जी पुस्ताका सुशासन, भ्रष्टाचार नियन्त्रण लगायतका मागलाई अघि बढाउँदै निर्वाचनसम्पन्न गर्नुपर्ने दायित्व थियो । त्यही अभिभारालाई आत्मसात् गर्दै गृह मन्त्रालयले आफ्ना कार्यहरू अगाडि बढाइरहेको छ । हामीले सरकार सम्हाल्दा अन्योलको अवस्था थियो । फेरि पनि यस्तै रक्तपातपूर्ण अवस्था आउँछ कि भन्ने त्रास थियो । हामी त्यस्तो अवस्था नआउने तर्फ लाग्यौं । सुरक्षा निकायका पूर्वाधारहरू क्षति भएका थिए । उनीहरूको मनोबल कमजोर रहेको अवस्था थियो । नेपाल प्रहरीको मात्र ४६५ युनिटहरूमा क्षति पुगेकोमा हालसम्म ४४८ वटा संचालनमा आइसकेका छन् । त्यस्तै, क्षति पुगेका १० जिल्ला प्रशासन कार्यालय र ४ वटा इलाका प्रशासन कार्यालयहरूको सेवालाई सूचारु गरिएको छ । जेन–जी युवाहरूसमेतको सहभागितामा गृह मन्त्रालयमा सहायता कक्षको स्थापना गरी सुरक्षा जोखिम भएका व्यक्तिहरूलाई सहजीकरण गरिएको थियो, जसलाई हालसम्म निरन्तरता दिइएको छ । करिब २ महिनाको अविधमा हामीले शान्ति सुरक्षालाई सामान्य अवस्थामा ल्याउन

हतियार फिर्ता ल्याउन सुरक्षा निकायहरूबाट संयुक्त अपरेशन संचालनगरी खोजी कार्यलाई तीव्र बनाइएको छ । प्रदर्शनको क्रममा मृत्यु भएका परिवारलाई १५ लाख राहत उपलब्ध गराइएको छ । प्रदर्शनमा सहादत प्राप्त गर्ने ३ जना अमर प्रहरी र ४२ जना जेनजी सुशासन योद्धा गरी कूल ४५ जनालाई शहीद घोषणा गरिएको छ । घाइतेहरूको पहिचान र उपचारलाई सहजीकरण गर्न परिचयपत्र वितरण गर्ने, घाइतेहरूको नि:शुल्क उपचारको व्यवस्था मिलाइएको, घाइतेहरूलाई तत्काल राहतको लागि भैपरी खर्च उपलब्ध गराइएको, पुन: चेकजाँचमा जानुपर्ने अवस्थामा नि:शुल्क एम्बुलेन्सको व्यवस्था मिलाइएको छ । त्यसैगरी, घाइतेहरूलाई राहतका लागि निजहरूको वर्गीकरण गर्ने कार्य अन्तिम चरणमा पुगेको छ । घाइतेहरूको उपचारमा आवश्यक समन्वय गर्न घाइतेहरूको समेत सहभागितामा गृह मन्त्रालयका सहसचिवको संयोजकत्वमा समन्वय समिति गठन गरी कार्य गर्दै आइएको छ । भाद्र २३ र २४ को घटनामा देशका विभिन्न कारागारबाट कुल १४, ५५४ कैदीबन्दीहरू फरार भएकोमा हालसम्म ९, ५४१ जना फिर्ता ल्याइसकिएको र ५,०१३ जना पक्राउ गर्न बाँकी रहेको छ । फरार कैदीहरू पक्राउ गर्न निजहरूको सूची सार्वजनिक गरिएको छ । त्यस्ता फरार कैदीहरू सार्वजनिक निकायमा सेवा लिन आएमा सेवा प्रदान नगर्न सबै निकायहरूमा पत्राचार गरिएको छ । सबै जिल्ला प्रशासन कार्यालयहरूमा सहायक प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारीको संयोजकत्वमा कार्यदल गठन गरी खोजतलासलाई तीब्रता दिइएको छ । त्यस्तै, सुरक्षा निकाय मार्फत फरार कैदी बन्दीको खोजिको लागि विशेष अपरेसन चलाउने कार्यलाई अघि बढाइएको छ । फरार कैदी बन्दी र लुटिएका हतियारलाई प्रमुख सुरक्षा चुनौतीको रूपमा लिई सरकार गम्भिरतापूर्वक अघि बढेको छ । सम्पूर्ण चुनौतिहरूलाई परास्त गरी स्वच्छ, निष्पक्ष र भयरहित वातावरणमा निर्वाचन सम्पन्न हुनेमा सरकार विश्वस्त छ र यसमा सर्वसाधारण सबैको साथ, सहयोग र सहकार्य अपरिहार्य रहेको व्यहोरा समेत अनुरोध छ । आगामी फागुन २१ मा निर्वाचन सम्पन्न गर्नु वर्तमान सरकारको प्राथमिक जिम्मेवारी हो । हामीलाई प्राप्त जिम्मेवारी अनुसार समयमै निर्वाचन सम्पन्न गरेर छिटो भन्दा छिटो जनताबाट निर्वाचित प्रतिनिधिलाई सुम्पन हामी आतुर छौं । युवा पुस्तालाई मतदानको अवसर प्रदान गर्न मतदाता नामावली ऐन २०७३ लाई संशोधन गरिएको छ । निर्वाचनको आयोगको तथ्यांक अनुसार यसबाट २ लाख बढी मतदाता थप भएका छन् । निर्वाचनको लागि सुरक्षा निकायका लागि आवश्यक पर्ने श्रोत र साधनको कतिपय व्यवस्थापन भैसकेको र कतिपय व्यवस्थापन हुने क्रममा रहेको छ । निर्वाचन तयारीका सम्बन्धमा भैरहेका थप कार्यहरू देहाय बमोजिम रहेका छन् : ▪ स्वच्छ, निस्पक्ष, निर्वाचन सम्पन्न राजनैतिक दलहरू, कुटनीतिक नियोगका प्रमुखहरू लगायतसँग विभिन्न तहमा छलफल एवं परामर्श गरिएको, ▪ सबै सुरक्षा निकायको समन्वयमा संयुक्त सुरक्षा गस्ती शुरु गरिएको, ▪ निर्वाचन सुरक्षा योजना तयार गर्न गृह मन्त्रालयका सहसचिवको संयोजकत्वमा सबै सुरक्षा निकायका प्रतिनिधि रहेको कार्यदल गठन भएको र सो समितिले आफ्नो प्रतिवेदन पेश गरेको छ, जसलाई केन्द्रीय सुरक्षा समितिबाट स्वीकृत गरी कार्यान्वयमा ल्याइनेछ, ▪ विदेशमा रहेका नेपालीलाई समेत मताधिकारको अधिकार प्रदान गर्ने सम्बन्धमा कानून संशोधनको गृहकार्य अगाडि बढेको छ भने यसको प्राविधिक र व्यवस्थापकीय सम्भाव्यताको अध्ययन गरी सुझाव दिन नीति अनुसन्धान प्रतिष्ठानलाई जिम्मेवारी सुम्पिएको छ । प्रतिष्ठानले सरोकारवालाहरूसँग छलफल गरी अन्तराष्ट्रिय अभ्यास समेतका आधारमा आफ्नो प्रतिवेदन पेश गर्नेछ । ▪ जिल्ला सुरक्षा समिति मार्फत मतदान केन्द्रहरूको जोखिम मूल्यांकनगरी प्रतिवेदन पेश भएको छ । साविकमा रहेका तर हाल क्षतिग्रस्त मतदान केन्द्रको स्थानीय पालिकासँगको समन्वयमा पुनर्निर्माणको कार्य गरिएको छ । यस सरकारसँग सबैको उच्च अपेक्षा रहेको छ । छोटो अवधिको बावजुद हामी जनताका आकांक्षाहरूलाई कानूनको परिधिभित्र रही अधिकतम हासिल गर्न प्रयासरत रहने छौं । हामीलाई असफल हुने छुट नभएको हुँदा सबैबाट आगामी दिनमा हालको जस्तै साथ र सहयोग रहने कुरामा हामी विश्वस्त छौं । (राष्ट्रिय सभा अन्तर्गतको संघीयता सवलीकरण तथा राष्ट्रिय सरोकार समितिमा बिहीबार गृहमन्त्री अर्यालले दिएको अभिव्यक्तिको सम्पादित अंश) गृहमन्त्री

Von der Leyen pitches EU joint debt as backup plan to finance Ukraine

The stakes are high for Belgium because it hosts the financial firm Euroclear that holds the bulk of the immobilized assets, and fears the initiative might create legal and financial risks. The assets were frozen by the EU after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. If the assets plan does not come to fruition, von der Leyen suggested issuing common EU debt that will be eventually repaid by national capitals, as POLITICO previously reported. Another option involves tasking each country to individually fund Ukraine through their national budgets. Both alternatives, however, are unpalatable for highly indebted countries such as France and Italy, which have little means to finance Ukraine. Von der Leyen said during Parliament’s plenary session that using the frozen Russian assets “is the most effective way to sustain Ukraine's defence and its economy. And the clearest way to make Russia understand that time is not on its side.” Her comments to Parliament come as the EU's finance ministers are set to discuss the topic in Brussels on Thursday. The EU is facing pressure to reach a rapid agreement as Ukraine is expected to run out of money next spring.

Do you feel like you have successfully adapted to Spanish culture and society?

Moving to Spain sparks a range of emotions, from excitement to uncertainty, and one of the biggest questions for newcomers is whether they will truly feel at home. For some, adapting to Spanish life comes naturally, while for others the process is gradual, challenging, or even optional. When we asked our readers whether they feel they have successfully adapted to Spanish culture and society, their replies highlighted just how varied the experience can be. For many, mastering the language and embracing everyday life is key. As Judith D Altavista put it, “Yes of course. It is simple: do not live in a ‘whatever’ speaking bubble; do not live in the middle of a tourist resort. Settle in an authentic environment and, of course, speak the language at least up to a certain level, so you can master your everyday life.” Several readers described full immersion, often rooted in personal relationships. Dennis Norton Maidana shared, “Totally. Married to Spaniard who doesn’t speak a word of English and all my friends are Spanish. Changed nationality many years ago and now hold a Spanish passport.” Others emphasised long-term commitment. Deb Horses said, “Indeed. Been here for 50+ years. In fact, have Spanish nationality for decades!” Christine Docherty also highlighted the linguistic side of integration: “I have lived in Spain near Barcelona for 50 years. I speak Spanish as if I were speaking English.… I also speak Catalán… I have been completely integrated into Spanish society for years now. It’s not difficult – you just have to want to.” Some responses showed a more relaxed or humorous take, with Michael Bath quipping, “I have given it a good go… eight bottles of San Miguel, one bottle of vino tinto, a four-hour siesta, and leave everything till mañana.” For some, barriers remained. Stephen Cosgrove noted efforts on both sides matter: “We are very friendly with our Spanish neighbours […] but they are not ones to want to take it further. It takes two to tango.” Gloria Hammett added, “No, but working on it. The responsibility is mine.” Some simply responded “Yes”, including Marian Morgan Visockis, Parnell, Antonio Reseco, and Clare Embrey, while Pilar Gomez offered a thoughtful reminder: “Integration means different things to different people… A community which is functioning properly willingly accepts and even welcomes a level of difference and diversity.” Overall, most respondents felt integrated to some degree, particularly those who embraced the language, local customs, and community life. However, many agreed that integration is personal, multifaceted, and not a one-size-fits-all journey.

Breakfast Blunder: McDonald’s Coffee Drama Unfolds After Order Mishap

In Michigan, a McDonald’s manager found herself at the center of an unsettling incident when a customer, frustrated by a mistake in her breakfast order, allegedly threw a hot cup of coffee at her. This information comes from the police’s account of the incident. Buena Vista Township Police Detective Russ Pahssen remarked to the local CBS affiliate, WNEM, that the situation “probably could’ve been settled a little bit different.” His comments came about a week after a cellphone video capturing the alleged altercation gained widespread attention online. In the video, a woman identified as Casharra Brown can purportedly be heard exclaiming, “Catch that hot a— coffee!” She allegedly follows this with further expletives directed at the manager. In an effort to resolve the matter, the Buena Vista Police Department took to Facebook, sharing footage of the incident and appealing to the public for help in identifying Brown. The call for assistance was met with a significant response, resulting in numerous tips and the issuance of an arrest warrant for Brown last week. As of Tuesday evening, Brown remained at large, with authorities continuing their search for her. She was still being sought as of Tuesday evening. “We will be requesting that she gets jail time out of this,” Pahssen told WNEM. The manager allegedly told police that the female customer had ordered some breakfast sandwiches and coffee on the McDonald’s app. She came in to try and get a refund, the manager says, despite there being no name given on the app. “It was just left blank,” Pahssen recounted, noting how a dispute broke out. “The lady came in and tried to return two sandwiches,” the detective alleged. “She wasn’t happy about the breakfast sandwiches, and that’s when they continued to argue. And next thing you know coffee was being thrown.” Pahssen said the employee suffered minor injuries, leading to a misdemeanor assault and battery warrant being obtained for Brown’s arrest. He told WNEM that he had never seen a case like this in his 22 years as a law enforcement officer. “Once it goes through the court system, we’ll see what happens when she goes to court,” Pahssen said. “But we will be requesting that she gets some jail time out of this.”

Tariq Bhat: The storyteller who shaped my story

Some people enter our lives quietly, leaving behind footprints that never fade. My maternal uncle, Tariq Bhat, was one such soul—a man whose pen carried truth, whose voice resonated with reason and whose very presence shaped my life in ways words can barely describe. To the world, he was Tariq Bhat, THE WEEK's senior special correspondent in Jammu and Kashmir—a seasoned journalist whose commitment to accuracy, balance, and empathy made him one of the most respected media professionals in Jammu and Kashmir. But to me, he was Mamu, Brotherji, as I would lovingly call him—my mentor, my guide, my closest confidant. His sudden departure has left a silence that feels permanent. But, in that silence, every word of wisdom he ever shared echoes. ALSO READ: Remembering Tariq Bhat, THE WEEK's fearless voice from Kashmir I was born in Nawakadal, Srinagar, but destiny had its own plan for me. Just six months into my life, my maternal grandfather, the late Ghulam Nabi Bhat, a policeman by profession, adopted me with my father's consent. My childhood unfolded in Chotta Bazar, Kani Kadal, under the loving care of my grandparents, uncles, and aunts. Among them, the youngest—Tariq Mamu—stood out. Since my mother was the eldest in the family, I was treated like royalty, and he, my young uncle, became my world. As a child, I would see him come home late, often long after midnight, carrying newspapers and scribbled notes. I didn't understand what he did then—I only knew he worked with words. I still remember the year 1994, when I first used an old newspaper as a cover for my school notebook—little realising that one day, I would make my living through those very words printed on paper. He began his journalistic journey in 1997, first with Submission, then Indian Express, and finally, THE WEEK. By the time I was in class 12, around the year 2002, I began to understand what my Mamu truly did — chasing truth, shaping narratives, and giving voice to people who otherwise went unheard. I would watch him leave home early, only to return when the city had gone to sleep, still alert, still thoughtful, still curious. When I graduated in commerce, life took a turn. My father faced financial difficulties, and once again, it was Brotherji who appeared like an angel. He offered me a 'small job' as an office assistant in his newsroom, but it turned out to be the greatest classroom of my life. He made me sit beside him, observe how he drafted stories, talked to officials, cross-checked facts, and turned chaos into clarity. Soon, he urged me to pursue Post-Graduation in Mass Communication from IGNOU, paying my fees himself. He said, 'If you want to understand life, learn to tell its stories.' Those two years, from 2007 to 2008, were transformative. Every day was a lesson in journalism—not just how to report, but how to feel what others felt. After I completed my course, I joined the daily, Rising Kashmir, soon after its launch in 2008. Later, I spent almost a decade with Greater Kashmir as Senior Special Correspondent before returning to Rising Kashmir. In every phase, in every story I wrote, there was an invisible hand guiding me—his hand. Brotherji had an extraordinary way of teaching. He never imposed lessons; he simply lived them. He taught by example—his humility, patience, and work ethic were unmatched. He often reminded me, 'Good journalism begins when you stop chasing fame and start chasing facts.' ALSO READ: With Tariq Ahmad Bhat's departure, journalism in Kashmir has lost one of its sincere guardians What set him apart was not just his professionalism but his humanity. In a field often consumed by competition and cynicism, he carried empathy like a badge of honour. He was known for his calm temperament, balanced reporting, and deep understanding of Kashmir's social fabric. Yet, at home, he was a gentle soul—a man who made everyone feel valued. Whether it was a colleague seeking advice or a neighbour needing help, Brotherji was always there, ready to listen, ready to act. He was more than a journalist; he was a bridge—between generations, between ideologies, between silence and understanding. He had that rare gift of making even the most complex issues seem simple, both in his writing and in life. When I look back today, I realise that every step of my journey was quietly mapped by him. My first byline, my first interview, my first political story—he celebrated them as if they were his own. And whenever I faltered, his words echoed in my mind: 'Don't write to impress, write to express.' November 4, 2025, will remain the darkest day of my life. His sudden passing from a heart attack at our ancestral home in Chotta Bazar shattered me completely. It wasn't just the loss of an uncle; it was like losing my second father, my mentor, my dearest friend. For days, I couldn't pick up my pen. The very tool he had taught me to wield, felt heavy without him around. Yet, even in his absence, he continues to guide me. Each time I file a story, each time I edit a line, I imagine him sitting beside me, smiling softly, saying, 'Now that's how you tell it.' His legacy is not limited to the stories he wrote for THE WEEK—it lives through the countless journalists he inspired, the principles he upheld, and the family he nurtured with boundless love. Brotherji, as I would lovingly call him, wasn't just the man who taught me journalism, he was the man who taught me life. His ink runs through my veins, his ideals through my conscience, and his voice through every word I write. The author is the nephew of Tariq Bhat and a journalist working with Rising Kashmir as senior special correspondent.

DCLM Daily Manna 13 November 2025 — How Not To Pervert Forgiveness

DCLM Daily Manna 13 November 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — How Not To Pervert Forgiveness TOPIC: How Not To Pervert Forgiveness (DCLM Daily Manna 13 November 2025) KEY VERSE: “Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away” (Ezra 10:6). TEXT: Ezra 10:6-8 (KJV) 6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away. 7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem; 8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE: People often forget the cost of forgiveness. Consequently, they treat sin with levity. But with God, sin is serious, and He deals with it seriously! The Cross is an awful reminder of what it cost God to procure forgiveness for mankind. Sin sent man out of Eden’s delight and caused God’s only Son to die on the Cross. So, don’t ever trivialise sin or pervert God’s forgiveness. Today’s text describes Ezra’s attitude and drastic response to the sins of the Israelites who returned from exile. No sooner had the people returned from captivity than they began to walk again, the path that led them to exile. They got into mixed marriages with the heathen and adopted pagan practices in violation of God’s commandments. Ezra responded promptly and took steps to rectify the situation. He fasted and mourned over the people’s unfaithfulness and assembled them to make proper restitution. Ezra was troubled and showed deep remorse when he heard that the priests, Levites, and leaders of Israel were ringleaders in this sin. Though he interceded for the people and asked God to forgive them, he took drastic action to deal with their sins. Ezra knew it was futile to expect forgiveness without leading the people to repent and make necessary restitution. Ezra’s response to the sins of the people challenges us to examine ourselves concerning our attitude to sin. If we allow sin to linger in our lives and the congregation or treat it with kids’ gloves, we risk becoming hardened by its deceitfulness. Before long, we may begin to tolerate and make excuses for evil. This is how some people get to a point where they think they can obtain God’s forgiveness by glibly confessing their sins without forsaking them or making necessary restitution. That is nothing but perverted forgiveness. However, the appropriate way to deal with sin is to repent, confess, and forsake it. Genuine conviction compels you to put away your sin and make appropriate amends. THOUGHT FOR THE DAYBe urgent; deal with sin drastically and promptly. THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:Ezekiel 6-8 Deeper Life Daily Manna For Today 2025 was written by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi; is the founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church situated at KM 42 on the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Nigeria.

Are water bottles not allowed inside Dhaka metro trains? Here's why lighters are confiscated from passengers at stations

Gas-based pocket lighters and water bottles were being confiscated in plenty after authorities tightened security checks of Dhaka Metro passengers on Thursday morning. The security at every metro station has been beefed up, and Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited's (DMTCL) Managing Director (MD) Faruk Ahmed was personally leading inspections to see if the tightened security measures were being followed, Bangladeshi media reported. The backpacks and other belongings of passengers were being thoroughly checked across metro stations, with even water bottles being asked to be left behind to ensure 'public security,' Prothom Alo said in a report. Photos shared on X showed piles of pocket lighters at stations after being confiscated from passengers. The security procedures were increased to ensure no untoward incident happens ahead of the announcement of the verdict date of a case of crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT). The accused in the case include ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan, and former IGP (Inspector General of Police) Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun (Approver or Rajsakshi). The tribunal has set Monday as the date for the verdict in the case. 17 buses have been set on fire across the country in the wake of the Awami League's online 'lockdown', Prothom Alo said, adding that 16 of the incidents occurred in Dhaka and its surrounding areas. It is likely that the security personnel are taking no chances with inflammable substances and liquid containers inside the metro trains.
