As Lawmakers Vow to Protect ‘California Values,’ New Los Angeles County Chair Calls for Bipartisan Approach
The Journalist For Christ (JFC), in collaboration with the World Association For Christ Communication (WACC) and other relevant stakeholders, on Thursday formally activated the #EndMisogynyNG advocacy campaign in Lagos, Nigeria. The event held at the Sir Kensington Adebutu Media Resource Centre, Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ), Ogba Lagos focuses on trends and contexts of Misogyny and Tech Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFG-BV) in Nigeria. In the spirit of the #16DaysOfActivism to end all forms of Gender-Based Violence in society, the keynote speaker, Mr Femi Adesina, former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the immediate Past President, Muhammadu Buhari urged participants to propagate the JFC report on Misogyny. According to him, this will enable guilty perpetrators who are involved to stop all forms of antisocial and dehumanizing acts before they become an uncontrollable vice in society. Correspondingly, the Provost of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ), Mr Gbenga Adefaye who applauded the advocacy initiative of JFC founding President and Project Coordinator, Mr Lekan Otunfodunrin said, “This is a very good thing, and I would love to see and read this report because some of us may be an unconscious misogynist, acting unplanned or not being deliberate as agents who are mad at women.” Speaking further, he emphasised how he is interested and eager to read the JFC report in order to learn and reflect if he was a misogynist or not. The Project Officer and Publisher of BoNews, Ms Blessing Oladunjoye who spoke on the theme, “Understanding the Issues in Monitoring Social Media On the Trends of Misogyny and Tech-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence,” stressed how TFGBV is a form of GBV which is predominantly carried out online on digital spaces. “This act usually targets women with the purpose of harassing them through electronic means or technological devices and is carried out via online channels or platforms,” she said. She, however, mentioned various forms and categories of TFGBV that include cyberbullying, doxxing, trolling, online sexual harassment and revenge porn while explaining the findings from the social media monitoring on the trends of Misogyny and TFGBV in Nigeria. She said, “We discovered 49 cases of TFGBV on Facebook, 8 on X and Instagram, and 1 case on TikTok of a total of 66 cases found online.” According to her, the percentage of male perpetrators of Misogyny is 28.8% which comprises 19 posts, while female perpetrators comprise 25.8% of 17 posts, and Bloggers and Skit Makers with 22.7% of 15 posts and social media influencer/ public figure and other were 4.6% with 3 posts and some unascertained account holder with unclear identity to be 13.6% with 9 posts respectively.” Blessing emphasized. She vividly gave examples of women who were victims of Misogyny and TFGBV with reference to how the announcement of Umeogi as the CEO of Zenith Bank sparked various misogynistic reactions online. Sharing from a post on X by @Olabode_ifeanyi on March 19, 2024, sparked 1.8 million views, 3,000 quotes and almost 9,000 likes as the post read thus- “The new Zenith Bank CEO’s profile gives me orgasm.” The author and poster sexualized the CEO’s professional achievement through a sexual. Though he later apologized, the damage has been done. But other social media users had reacted that the writer would not have used the term “orgasm” if a man with a similar profile were to be appointed as the CEO. Another example of Misogynistic content on social media was from one Azolike Nonso Afameduna who wrote: ” Adaora Umeoji, the woman appointed as Zenith Bank Plc’s first female CEO, looks like a hookup girl. I will never take that bank seriously again.” Sadly, the post which tends to trivialize women’s career success reinforces harmful stereotypes and downgrades women’s achievement as they are judged by their looks instead of their professional competence ultimately exemplifying some of the Misogynistic acts perpetrated on the digital space. Also, the JFC Vice President, Ugonma Cokey spoke on “Key Highlights from Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Trends of Misogyny and Tech-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence in Nigeria. She revealed that the FGDs had 8 different groups ranging from female students in tertiary institutions, women Professionals, female Journalists across the country, social media enthusiasts, people living with disability and a special session for the males, to generate insights for the dissemination of digital counter-narrative and strategic advocacy interventions to mitigate Misogynistic attitudes and Gender-based cyber violence in Nigeria. Ugonma reiterated how the focus group discussion for men was fascinating and became essential, because it serves as an avenue to orientate more men, in silencing various misogynistic activities in the society. She further revealed some highlights from the discussion, which include how WhatsApp groups have been used as a platform for shaming women, with men posting sexually explicit pictures of women. Some men are attracted to women living with disabilities, using their vulnerability to take advantage of them, by pretending to offer assistance, but end up sending unsolicited sexual images and posts to them. The patriarchal nature of the society, including inherent tradition and religious beliefs encourages Misogyny and TFGBV. Violence against women exists both offline and online. While offline has to do with physical assault, online has to do with cyber assault. Some men are misogynistic in nature as a result of skewed and dysfunctional family/ home structure. Though men are often the perpetrators of Misogynistic and TFGBV, men are also very strategic and important in playing key roles in efforts to curb Misogyny and TFGBV. The highlighted points led to a clarion call for men to help champion this course while describing the need to change the narratives, as this quote helps to summarize the highlighted points thus- “I have a daughter and I don’t want her to grow up in a world where she is constantly belittled and objectified”

Sanders helped the Wolfpack (6-1) earn a second win following one-possession games against Vanderbilt and VCU. After hitting the decisive 3-pointer with five seconds left in Friday's 64-61 win over VCU, Sanders made 7 of 10 shots, hit three 3s and sank 10 of 13 free throws Sunday. Nick Davidson added 223 points as Nevada led by as many as 19 and shot 58.9 percent. Brandon Love contributed 11 on 5-of-5 shooting as the Wolfpack scored 46 points in the paint and scored at least 85 for the fourth time this season. Marchelus Avery led the Cowboys (4-2) with 15 points and Arturo Dean added 13. Robert Jennings and Abou Ousmane added 11 apiece but leading scorer Bryce Thompson was held to seven points on 1-of-9 shooting as Oklahoma State shot 42 percent and 73.2 percent (30-of-41) at the line. After Avery's 3 forged a 12-12 tie with 13:41 remaining, Nevada gradually gained separation. The Wolfpack took a 24-15 lead on Chuck Bailey's jumper in the paint with 8:28 left but the Cowboys inched back, getting within 33-31 on a dunk by Avery with 4:11 left. Another Bailey jumper staked Nevada to a 40-33 lead by halftime. Nevada began pulling away early in the second half as it scored eight in a row for a 52-40 lead on a basket by Love with 16:44 left. A 3 by Sanders opened a 62-43 lead with 14:06 remaining before Oklahoma State charged back. After Nevada made eight straight shots, the Cowboys countered with 11 straight points and trailed 62-54 with 11:19 left on a 3-pointer by Avery. Thompson made his first basket by sinking a jumper with 10:37 left to get Oklahoma State within 64-56 left, and Keller's triple cut the margin to 70-64 nearly three minutes later. The Cowboys were within 78-72 on a basket by Avery with 3:56 remaining, but he fouled out about a minute later and the Wolfpack outscored Oklahoma State 12-6 the rest of the way as Sanders sank five free throws. --Field Level Media

Syrian government services come to a 'complete halt' as state workers stay homeALTOONA, Pa. — After UnitedHealthcare’s CEO was gunned down on a New York sidewalk, police searched for the masked gunman with dogs, drones and scuba divers. Officers used the city's muscular surveillance system. Investigators analyzed DNA samples, fingerprints and internet addresses. Police went door-to-door looking for witnesses. When an arrest came five days later, those sprawling investigative efforts shared credit with an alert civilian's instincts. A Pennsylvania McDonald's customer noticed another patron who resembled the man in the oblique security-camera photos that New York police had publicized. Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry speaks during a press conference regarding the arrest of suspect Luigi Mangione, Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, in Hollidaysburg, Pa., in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. (AP Photo/Ted Shaffrey) Luigi Nicholas Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family, was arrested Monday in the killing of Brian Thompson, who headed one of the United States’ largest medical insurance companies. He remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. By late evening, prosecutors in Manhattan had added a charge of murder, according to an online court docket. He's expected to be extradited to New York eventually. It’s unclear whether Mangione has an attorney who can comment on the allegations. Asked at Monday's arraignment whether he needed a public defender, Mangione asked whether he could “answer that at a future date.” Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after the McDonald's customer recognized him and notified an employee, authorities said. Police in Altoona, about 233 miles (375 kilometers) west of New York City, were soon summoned. This booking photo released Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections shows Luigi Mangione, a suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. (Pennsylvania Department of Corrections via AP) They arrived to find Mangione sitting at a table in the back of the restaurant, wearing a blue medical mask and looking at a laptop, according to a Pennsylvania police criminal complaint. He initially gave them a fake ID, but when an officer asked Mangione whether he’d been to New York recently, he “became quiet and started to shake,” the complaint says. When he pulled his mask down at officers' request, “we knew that was our guy,” rookie Officer Tyler Frye said at a news conference in Hollidaysburg. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Manhattan news conference that Mangione was carrying a gun like the one used to kill Thompson and the same fake ID the shooter had used to check into a New York hostel, along with a passport and other fraudulent IDs. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione also had a three-page, handwritten document that shows “some ill will toward corporate America."

(AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura) A law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity said the document included a line in which Mangione claimed to have acted alone. “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to the official. It also had a line that said, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.” Pennsylvania prosecutor Peter Weeks said in court that Mangione was found with a passport and $10,000 in cash — $2,000 of it in foreign currency. Mangione disputed the amount. Thompson, 50, was killed last Wednesday as he walked alone to a midtown Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. Police quickly came to see the shooting as a targeted attack by a gunman who appeared to wait for Thompson, came up behind him and fired a 9 mm pistol. Investigators have said “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were written on ammunition found near Thompson’s body. The words mimic a phrase used to criticize the insurance industry. A poster issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows a wanted unknown suspect. (FBI via AP) From surveillance video, New York investigators gathered that the shooter fled by bike into Central Park, emerged, then took a taxi to a northern Manhattan bus terminal. Once in Pennsylvania, he went from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, “trying to stay low-profile” by avoiding cameras, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said. A grandson of a wealthy, self-made real estate developer and philanthropist, Mangione is a cousin of a current Maryland state legislator. Mangione was valedictorian at his elite Baltimore prep school, where his 2016 graduation speech lauded his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.” He went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesperson said. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media late Monday by his cousin, Maryland lawmaker Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” Luigi Nicholas Mangione worked for a time for the car-buying website TrueCar and left in 2023, CEO Jantoon Reigersman said by email. From January to June 2022, Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of Honolulu tourist mecca Waikiki. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. "There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, from surfing to romance, Ryan said. “He went surfing with R.J. once but it didn’t work out because of his back," Ryan said, but noted that Mangione and Martin often went together to a rock-climbing gym. NYPD officers in diving suits search a lake in Central Park, Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, in New York. (AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura) Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. Although the gunman obscured his face during the shooting, he left a trail of evidence in New York, including a backpack he ditched in Central Park, a cellphone found in a pedestrian plaza, a water bottle and a protein bar wrapper. In the days after the shooting, the NYPD collected hundreds of hours of surveillance video and released multiple clips and still images in hopes of enlisting the public’s eyes to help find a suspect. “This combination of old-school detective work and new-age technology is what led to this result today,” Tisch said at the New York news conference. ___ Scolforo reported from Altoona and Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.

ALEX BRUMMER: Miliband is missing the nuclear button By ALEX BRUMMER Updated: 21:50 GMT, 6 December 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Finger on the pulse?: Ed Miliband Until now, Ed Miliband largely has been silent on new nuclear. Addressing nuke industry bigwigs this week, the Energy Secretary declared that 'nuclear offers huge opportunities for our clean energy mission'. All that is splendid. However, the snail's pace of British administration, highlighted by the Prime Minister in his 'targets' speech on December 5, always gets in the way. There are real questions as to how hard Miliband is driving the atomic power agenda. If the UK is to have security of energy supplies, and persists with demonisation of the North Sea, then it is going to need a nuclear baseload. That is required to keep the lights on, and the electric vehicle network powered up. In addition, it is also going to entail huge amounts of new electricity to power data centres if Britain is to embrace artificial intelligence and the digital world. Miliband has bought time by extending the life of old kit at Heysham, Hartlepool and Torness. That is necessary, because decision making on new nukes has been so slow. The country is dependent on rackety older plants, often subject to closures for safety reasons. The Energy Secretary made it sound as if Sizewell C was certain to get the £2.7billion of government funding, mentioned in the Budget, to push ahead with development. Authorisation will have to wait until Rachel Reeves' spending review which is delayed until June 2025. Meanwhile, the government in Prague is pushing ahead with Rolls-Royce on deploying Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), using turbines pioneered in the UK's submarine fleet. Britain is in the slow lane persisting with a global auction before giving a domestic champion the go ahead. SMRs represent a sector where a UK green manufacturing revolution is attainable. The horse has already has bolted to Denmark for windfarms, Sweden and Poland for heat pumps and China for solar panels. If SMRs are to power a fourth industrial revolution, Britain should take a leaf out of the Czech and US approach and get on with the job. A decision is promised in the spring. Why are we waiting?

If regulatory approvals are won, Aviva will rapidly secure the reins at the motor insurance pioneer, which was the first UK insurer to spot the opportunity of going directly to the consumer rather than using brokers. Aviva is to fund the £3.61billion deal using £1.75billion of cash resources and the company's shares. In contrast to so many recent bids in the UK, the transaction does not involve taking on a debt mountain. Details of how the offer will be implemented are sketchy, but Direct Line HQ is expected be axed, and policies and administration moved onto capable Aviva platforms. There is unlikely to be any room for Direct Line chief executive Adam Winslow and senior colleagues, emigres from Aviva. Winslow can comfort himself in the fact that his incentive shares will vest and could be in line for a payout of £3m. The Aviva-Direct Line deal will face scrutiny by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) amid justified concern that the presence of much bigger beast in the marketplace could mean higher premiums. There is confidence at Aviva that it can demonstrate to the CMA that there is already ferocious competition in the markets for motor and home insurance. When examined on a segmented basis, such as EVs, women and younger motorists, there should be no problem. But caution is called for. Rayner win In August last year, I was given a forensic tour of Marks & Spencer's flagship Art Decor store on Oxford Street. I had earlier suggested Britain's favourite retailer was engaged in an act of architectural vandalism. After viewing the site, with its layers of industrial archaeology and leaking storage rooms, it was obvious that it was no longer fit for purpose. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner deserves praise for giving a three-year delayed rebuilding project the go-ahead. M&S's next task is to find new premises for a food hall and for its fashion when one of its highest turnover outlets is dismantled.
