He is not yet in power but President-elect Donald Trump rattled much of the world with an off-hours warning of stiff tariffs on close allies and China -- a loud hint that Trump-style government by social media post is coming back. With word of these levies against goods imported from Mexico, Canada and China, Trump sent auto industry stocks plummeting, raised fears for global supply chains and unnerved the world's major economies. For Washington-watchers with memories of the Republican's first term, the impromptu policy volley on Monday evening foreshadowed a second term of startling announcements of all manner, fired off at all hours of the day from his smartphone. "Donald Trump is never going to change much of anything," said Larry Sabato, a leading US political scientist and director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "You can expect in the second term pretty much what he showed us about himself and his methods in the first term. Social media announcements of policy, hirings and firings will continue." The first of Trump's tariff announcements -- a 25 percent levy on everything coming in from Mexico and Canada -- came amid an angry rebuke of lax border security at 6:45 pm on Truth Social, Trump's own platform. The United States is bound by agreements on the movement of goods and services brokered by Trump in a free trade treaty with both nations during his first term. But Trump warned that the new levy would "remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country" -- sowing panic from Ottawa to Mexico City. Seconds later, another message from the incoming commander-in-chief turned the focus on Chinese imports, which he said would be hit with "an additional 10% Tariff, above any additional Tariffs." The consequences were immediate. Almost every major US automaker operates plants in Mexico, and shares in General Motors and Stellantis -- which produce pickup trucks in America's southern neighbor -- plummeted. Canada, China and Mexico protested, while Germany called on its European partners to prepare for Trump to impose hefty tariffs on their exports and stick together to combat such measures. The tumult recalls Trump's first term, when journalists, business leaders and politicians at home and abroad would scan their phones for the latest pronouncements, often long after they had left the office or over breakfast. During his first four years in the Oval Office, the tweet -- in those days his newsy posts were almost exclusively limited to Twitter, now known as X -- became the quasi-official gazette for administration policy. The public learned of the president-elect's 2020 Covid-19 diagnosis via an early-hours post, and when Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani was assassinated on Trump's order, the Republican confirmed the kill by tweeting a US flag. The public and media learned of numerous other decisions big and small by the same source, from the introduction of customs duties to the dismissal of cabinet secretaries. It is not a communication method that has been favored by any previous US administration and runs counter to the policies and practices of most governments around the world. Throughout his third White House campaign, and with every twist and turn in his various entanglements with the justice system, Trump has poured his heart out on Truth Social, an app he turned to during his 20-month ban from Twitter. In recent days, the mercurial Republican has even named his attorney general secretaries of justice and health via announcements on the network. "He sees social media as a tool to shape and direct the national conversation and will do so again," said political scientist Julian Zelizer, a Princeton University professor. cjc/ft/dw/bjtHospitals and corruptionA wild first season of the expanded Big 12 is down to what should be a chaotic final weekend. Through all the upsets, unexpected rises and falls, there are nine teams still in the mix to play in the conference championship game. No. 14 Arizona State and No. 17 Iowa State have the best odds, yet a multitude of scenarios could play out — 256 to be exact. There's even the possibility of an eight-team tie. It may take a mathematician to figure out which teams are in the Dec. 7 game in Arlington, Texas — even for the ones who win. Travis Hunter, Colorado. The Buffaloes' two-way star has excelled on both sides of the field, making him one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy. Cam Skattebo, Arizona State. The senior running back can do a little of everything, but excels at punishing would-be tacklers. He's one of the nation's leaders in yards after contact and the focal point of the Sun Devils' offense. Shadeur Sanders, Colorado. If it weren't for Hunter, Sanders might be the Heisman favorite. The son of coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur is fifth nationally with 3,488 yards passing and has been a big part of the Buffaloes' turnaround. DJ Giddens, Kansas State. The Wildcats' running back is one of the nation's most versatile players. He is ninth nationally with 1,271 rushing yards and has added 21 receptions for 258 yards. Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona. The Wildcats have struggled this season, but McMillan has not. He is third nationally with 1,251 receiving yards with seven touchdowns on 78 catches. Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech. The Red Raiders' junior linebacker leads the Big 12 with 68 tackles, averaging 10.2 per game. He also has four sacks. Brendan Mott, Kansas State. He's a menace to opposing quarterbacks, leading the Big 12 with 8 1/2 sacks. The Big 12 has nine teams already bowl eligible and two more a win away. The winner of the Big 12 championship game will be in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot. Arizona State, Iowa State, No. 19 BYU, Colorado, Kansas State, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech and West Virginia have already clinched bowl berths. Kansas and Cincinnati can get into the postseason with wins this weekend. Gus Malzahn, UCF. Despite successes in recruiting, the Knights are 10-14 in two seasons since moving to the Big 12. Maybe not enough to get shown the door this year, but another mediocre season could lead UCF to make a change. Kyle Whittingham, Utah. Whittingham was one of the Pac-12's best coaches, leading the Utes to consecutive conference titles. Utah was expected to contend for the Big 12 title its first year in the league, but enters the final weekend 1-7 in conference play, which could push Whittingham toward retirement since it's doubtful he'd be fired. Neal Brown, West Virginia. The Mountaineers' coach was in a precarious spot at the end of last season and West Virginia hasn't lived up to expectations this season. The Mountaineers are eligible to go to a bowl game for the second straight season, but Brown could be on the hot seat even after signing a contract extension before the season. Josiah Trotter, West Virginia. The redshirt freshman is the latest Trotter to have success at the linebacker position, following the footsteps of his father, former Philadelphia Eagles player Jeremiah Trotter, and brother Jeremiah Trotter Jr., a current Eagles linebacker. Sam Leavitt, Arizona State. The Michigan State transfer has been just what the Sun Devils' needed: an agile quarterback who extends plays with his legs and rarely makes bad decisions. Bryson Washington, Baylor. The Bears' running back has rushed for 812 yards — 196 against TCU — and 10 TDs. TCU has the Big 12's highest rated 2025 recruiting class with six four-star players among 26 commitments, according to the 247 Sports composite. Receiver Terry Shelton of Carrollton, Texas, is the highest-rated recruit at 71st nationally. Baylor is next with five five-star players among its 20 commitments, including running back Michael Turner, rated 13th at his position out of North Richland Hills, Texas. Texas Tech is ranked seventh in the Big 12, but has four four-star recruits. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

Winner of NCP 'Pawar Struggle' And A Political Survivor: A Look At The Ups And Downs In Ajit's Career - News18
NoneAn 8-year-old boy with Down syndrome is being hailed as a hero after he rescued his 14-year-old sibling from a raging fire that destroyed their Colorado home Sunday. Grayson was home alone with his sister Ava Grace when the vicious blaze erupted around noon, with thick black smoke quickly engulfing their family residence in Centennial. With their parents just a few miles down the road, Grayson called out to his sister, who was a floor below, to get out of the burning house. She then called the police and her mother as Grayson escaped out a side door and she jumped out of a window. “He was yelling Ava, Ava! And kept yelling Ava, Ava,” the kids’ mother, Renee Unruh, told KCNC-TV , during an emotional interview. “He kind of saved her life. He’s our hero.” Police responded to the blaze and heard the children screaming and crying for help behind a wooden fence in their backyard, according to dramatic bodycam footage released by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Unable to reach the terrified children, the deputies jumped into a neighbors yard and tore a hole through the fence with their bare hands before carrying the kids, who were both barefoot and wearing shorts and a t-shirt, to safety in the piercing snow. “My room is on fire,” Grayson screamed as he was carried away from the burning home on South Gibraltar Lane, according to the footage. “Help me.” His sister, while crying, thanked the deputies following the harrowing rescue. “Anywhere there was a hole in the house, there was smoking coming out of it,” Deputy Ryan McConnell said in a video posted to social media. “As I got near the house, I heard the kids screaming. My first thought was they were still inside. Obviously, they were terrified, had no idea what was going on. It was a good feeling getting them out of there, especially knowing they were so young.” McConnell added the department was grateful nobody else was in the house as the menacing smoke was pouring out of the doors and vents prevented them from getting inside. Unruh said she was visiting her mother, who was also victimized by a house fire a year prior, when she received the dreaded phone call from her daughter and saw the smoke in the sky. She and her husband raced back to their charred home and were thankful and relieved to see their children alive. “I couldn’t let them go. I don’t ever want to be apart from them.” she said, according to KCNC-TV. “He (Grayson) does brighten everyone’s day and he obviously can save lives.” The Red Cross came to the family’s aid following the fire and got them temporary lodging, the outlet reported, with community members also offering their help. Officials said smoke could be seen for miles as firefighters spent an hour extinguishing the blaze. Two deputies suffered smoke inhalation and were treated at the scene by paramedics, with two other children also treated, according to South Metro Fire Rescue. “One SMFR firefighter was treated on-site and transported to a local hospital for further evaluation,” the department said in a statement on Facebook. “Sadly one dog and one cat did not survive the fire while 4 cats remain unaccounted for.” The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Billy is co-founder of a company specialising in biohacking and regenerative medicine, with clinics in London , Canada and Greece . The Sun first told how Billy and Arabella were spotted on a date in August and sources said things between the pair were getting very serious, very quickly. An insider said at the time: “Arabella has made no secret of wanting to find the one and it looks like Billy could be that man. “He clever, handsome and has a jet setting lifestyle, which she loves. “It was a big step putting him on her socials – she didn’t tag him but she’s happy for people to see her happy and in love.” Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 - and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around. After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: "Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards. "We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out. "I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars." One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker . Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon 'stole' Grace Jackson after making his debut. Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca . Despite the hunk's brief stint, viewers have called for Harry's return. One upset fan wrote: "Get you in All Stars next", to which Harry cryptically replied by posting 'shrugging' emojis. Arabella first found fame in Love Island in 2019. This year, she returned to the villa and formed a connection with Adam Maxted on Love Island All Stars. They lasted five weeks on the outside world. Adam later said on fellow Islander Anton Danyluk 's podcast: "I can't even call it a break up because we weren't officially together. "The public put a lot of pressure on your situation, your couple - we never announced that we were boyfriend and girlfriend. "I knew Arabella like nine days, 10 days, nothing in there is fake, I vibed with her and I can't fake that stuff." He added: "I think we were just at different stages in life. She'd just come out of a high-profile relationship and I remember saying to her, 'I think you need to go and figure out what it is you want to do and heal from that as well'."
