British publication apologises to PM

LONDON: British conservative newspaper Mail on Sunday, on Thursday, issued an apology to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif over a 2019 article, in which it had alleged that he had siphoned off British aid money meant for earthquake victims. The publication took these actions soon after informing the court that it had decided against going to trial and would settle the case initiated by Mr Sharif. Mr Sharif sought the withdrawal of the allegations and an unreserved and unambiguous apology from the Mail’s publisher. Mr Akbar had also claimed there is “ample evidence” in the reference filed against mr Sharif.

FTC looks to block Microsoft’s blockbuster acquisition of Activision Blizzard

WashingtonCNN—The Federal Trade Commission on Thursday sued to block Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, challenging one of the largest tech acquisitions in history. “We have been committed since Day One to addressing competition concerns, including by offering earlier this week proposed concessions to the FTC. Microsoft’s proposed deal would give it control over key video game franchises, including “Call of Duty,” “World of Warcraft” and more. But the FTC complaint marks the first attempt by an antitrust regulator to block the deal outright. The list included a promise, which would cover the proposed Activision deal, not to give preferential treatment to its own published games on digital marketplaces it runs.

Newly elected West Vancouver mayor loses bid for anonymity in law society misconduct case

West Vancouver's mayor has lost his bid to have a misconduct citation from the province's Law Society published anonymously, with a tribunal rejecting his argument that his recent election constituted an "exceptional circumstance." "The allegations it contains are inaccurate and unfair, and I look forward to proving that to the Law Society at my hearing," he writes in an email to CTV News. PRIOR MISCONDUCTArguing against Sager's application for anonymity, the Law Society pointed to two instances of prior, similar misconduct from the lawyer that resulted in a $20,000 fine. These published, substantiated allegations of misconduct, the society said, are available to anyone who searches them out. The Law Society cannot be seen as creating different categories of transparency – especially those that may hold public or high-profile office."

Darren Till says Alex Pereira vs. Israel Adesanya 4 warranted, but doesn't see Adesanya winning

LAS VEGAS – Darren Till isn’t sure if Israel Adesanya can get past the challenge of beating Alex Pereira. Pereira (7-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) dethroned Adesanya (23-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) with a come-from-behind TKO in Round 5 at UFC 281 to capture the middleweight title. The win marked the third time Pereira has defeated Adesanya, with the other two times coming in kickboxing. But in Pereira’s past two wins over Adesanya, he was losing the fight up until he rallied to score the finish. “I’ve watched all three fights and the two fights he (Adesanya) was just absolutely winning comfortably,” Till told MMA Junkie.

It will take some complex math for McCarthy to actually be elected speaker of the House

It’s possible House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., may never clasp the gavel and become Speaker of the House on January 3. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., tapped Johnson to become clerk of the House in late 2018. Then, since the House still hasn’t picked a speaker, Johnson will preside from the dais over actual vote for Speaker. Each member will rise from their seat — or perhaps holler from the back rail of the chamber — the name of their preferred speaker candidate. Most Republicans will announce their support for McCarthy, although there could be names of other House members or even non-members.
