PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron expressed “gratitude” Saturday to those who saved, helped and rebuilt Notre Dame Cathedral. “I stand before you ... to express the gratitude of the French nation,” Macron said at the reopening ceremony. “Tonight, the bells of Notre Dame are ringing again. And in a moment, the organ will awaken,” sending the “music of hope” to Parisians, France and the world. Macron spoke in front of 1,500 guests invited to celebrate the restoration of Paris’ 12th-century cathedral which was nearly destroyed by a fire in 2019. They included world leaders like President-elect Donald Trump , U.S. first lady Jill Biden, Britain’s Prince William and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. PARIS (AP) — Howling winds couldn’t stop Notre Dame Cathedral ’s heart from beating again. With three resounding knocks on its doors by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, wielding a specially designed crosier carved from fire-scorched beams, the monument roared back to life Saturday evening. For the first time since a devastating blaze nearly destroyed it in 2019, the towering Gothic masterpiece reopened for worship, its rebirth marked by song, prayer, and awe beneath its soaring arches. The ceremony, initially planned to begin on the forecourt, was moved entirely inside due to unusually fierce December winds sweeping across the Île de la Cité, flanked by the River Seine. Yet the occasion lost none of its splendor. Inside the luminous nave, choirs sang psalms, and the cathedral’s mighty organ, silent for nearly five years, thundered to life in a triumphant interplay of melodies. The restoration, a spectacular achievement in just five years for a structure that took nearly two centuries to build, is seen as a moment of triumph for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline — and a welcome respite from his domestic political woes . The evening’s celebration, attended by 1,500 dignitaries, including President-elect Donald Trump, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, underscored Notre Dame’s enduring role as both a spiritual and cultural beacon. Observers see the event as Macron's, and his intention to pivot it into a fully fledged diplomatic gathering, while highlighting France’s ability to unite on the global stage despite internal political crises. Monumental feats of restoration Inside, 42,000 square meters of stonework — an area equal to six soccer pitches — were meticulously cleaned, revealing luminous limestone and intricate carvings. Overhead, 2,000 oak beams, nicknamed “the forest,” were used to rebuild the spire and roof, restoring the cathedral’s iconic silhouette. The thunderous great organ, with 7,952 pipes ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide, resounded for the first time since the fire. Its newly renovated console, boasting five keyboards, 115 stops, and 30 foot pedals, was a marvel of restoration, reawakening a cornerstone of Notre Dame’s identity. Guests gradually filing into the cathedral for the evening reopening ceremonies were awestruck by the renovated interiors, many whipping out cellphones to capture the moment. “It’s a sense of perfection,” said François Le Page of the Notre Dame Foundation, which raised nearly half of the €900 million ($950 million) in donations for the restoration. He last visited in 2021, when the cathedral was cloaked in scaffolding. “It was somber,” he said. “It’s night and day.” The Rev. Andriy Morkvas, a Ukrainian pastor who leads the Volodymyr Le Grand church in Paris, reflected on his first visit to Notre Dame in over a decade. “I didn’t recognize it,” he said. “God is very powerful; He can change things.” He expressed hope that the cathedral’s revival could inspire peace in his homeland, drawing strength from the presence of Ukraine’s president. “I think that will have a big impact,” he said. “I hope Notre Dame and Mary will help us resolve this conflict.” The reopening of Notre Dame comes at a time of profound global unrest, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East. For Catholics, Notre Dame’s rector said the cathedral “carries the enveloping presence of the Virgin Mary, a maternal and embracing presence.′′ “It is a magnificent symbol of unity,” Dumas said. “Notre Dame is not just a French monument—it is a magnificent sign of hope.” The international range of dignitaries coming to Paris underline the cathedral’s significance as a symbol of shared heritage and peace. Canadian visitor Noelle Alexandria, who had traveled to Paris for the reopening, was struck by the cathedral’s ability to inspire. “She’s been nearly ruined before, but she always comes back,” Alexandria said. “Not many of us could say the same after such tragedy, but Notre Dame can.” Historical details enrich the occasion Guests entered through Notre Dame’s iconic western façade, whose arched portals adorned with biblical carvings were once a visual guide for medieval believers. Above the central Portal of the Last Judgment, the Archangel Michael is depicted weighing souls, as demons attempt to tip the scales. These stone figures, designed to inspire both awe and fear, set the stage for a ceremony steeped in history. Inside, the hum of hundreds of guests awaiting the service filled the cathedral with human sounds once more — a stark contrast to the construction din that echoed there for years. Tuners restoring the great organ often worked through the night to find the silence needed to perfect its 7,952 pipes, ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide. Notre Dame echoed to the sound of a sustained standing ovation after the showing of a short movie that documented the gargantuan rebuilding effort. Outside, the word “MERCI” — thank you — was projected against the cathedral’s iconic western facade. The movie showed the terrible wounds left by the inferno — the gaping holes torn into its vaulted ceilings and the burned roof. But that was followed by images of all types of artisans, many using traditional handicraft techniques, who collectively restored Notre Dame to look better now than ever. "We went from night to light," said one of the workers in the movie. Macron's political woes The celebration is expected to give a much-needed boost to embattled Macron, whose prime minister was ousted this week , plunging the nation’s politics into more turmoil. The French president, who has called Notre Dame's reopening “a jolt of hope,” will address the gathering. He had hoped the occasion would briefly silence his critics and showcase France’s unity and resilience under his leadership. Macron's presidency now faces its gravest crisis after the government's collapse this week in a historic no-confidence vote that toppled Prime Minister Michel Barnier. The vote followed months of political gridlock after snap elections in June. Calls are now growing louder from opposition forces for Macron to resign. But he vowed Thursday to remain in office until the end of his term in 2027, and said he'll name a new prime minister within days. As France struggles with economic woes and social unrest, Notre Dame's rebirth celebrations form a stark contrast. Security is tight for this global event Security will be high through the weekend, echoing measures taken during the Paris Olympics earlier this year. The Île de la Cité — the small island in the River Seine that is home to Notre Dame and the historic heart of Paris— is closed to tourists and non-residents. Police vans and barriers blocked cobblestoned streets in a large perimeter around the island, while soldiers in thick body armor and sniffer dogs patrolled embankments. A special security detail is following Trump. Public viewing areas along the Seine’s southern bank will accommodate 40,000 spectators, who can follow the celebrations on large screens. For many, Notre Dame’s rebirth is not just a French achievement but a global one — after the reopening, the cathedral is set to welcome 15 million visitors annually, up from 12 million before the fire. ___ Sylvie Corbet, Yesica Brumec, Marine Lesprit and Mark Carlson in Paris contributed. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through The AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. President Biden has pardoned his son out of the love that a father has for his son. In the political turmoil of the recent past, what harm is it that Hunter Biden is pardoned? President-elect Trump has pardoned many of his political friends to reward their loyalty. Presidents have done this religiously in the past, why not President Biden pardoning his son? It may seem narrow-minded that one can condone events or acts that please them, at the same time chastising the events or acts that they do not agree with. Opposite opinions will always be in our being, that is human. Do we execute the vanquished 50% of our population as was done in biblical times? If so, there will be little left of us to carry on. The glass that is half empty is the same glass that is half full. The glass is full of Americans. Ed LeGendre East side Disclaimer: As submitted to the Arizona Daily Star.

Just don't count Dickerson among them. "I don't think he'll break it. But if he breaks it, he breaks it," the former said in an interview with the published Thursday. "Do I want him to break it? Absolutely not. I don't pull no punches on that. "But I'm not whining about it. He had 17 games to do it? Hey, football is football. That's the way I look at it. If he's fortunate to get over 2,000 yards and get the record, it's a great record to have." Barkley is up to 1,838 rushing yards through 15 games this season. He needs 268 yards in the ' final two games of the season – against the and – to break Dickerson's single-season mark of 2,105, which he set in 1984. The Philadelphia running back's stellar season already ranks 19th all-time in single-season rushing yards, one spot ahead of Dickerson's league-leading tally of 1,821 in 1986. Barkley is currently on pace for 2,083 rushing yards, which would fall behind both Dickerson's 1984 record total and the next-highest mark: Adrian Peterson's 2,097-yard season in 2012. But Barkley could help his case with a strong outing in . The Eagles have already , which could mean a heavier workload for the star tailback. As fortune would have it, if Barkley stays within reach after the first divisional matchup, he could have a chance to break Dickerson's record against the , his former team. "How ironic would it be for him to break the record on them, the team that let him go," Dickerson said in the aforementioned interview. "A true slap in the face."

While quarterback ' long-term future with the remains a question mark, the short term is clear. Rodgers will "absolutely" start Sunday against the , according to interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, who said Monday there has been no internal discussion about shutting him down for the remainder of the season. The Jets (3-8), coming off their bye week, are close to mathematical elimination. That, coupled with Rodgers' subpar season and various leg ailments from early in the season, has prompted reports about the possibility of him being benched or placed on injured reserve. "All I can say -- and you'd have to ask Aaron if he's fully healthy -- but he's better off today than he's been as of late," Ulbrich said. "So he's definitely feeling healthier than he has for probably the past month. And a healthy Aaron Rodgers is an Aaron Rodgers we all love. So I'm excited about what that looks like." Rodgers battled knee, hamstring and ankle injuries in September and October, but he practiced fully before the past two games. One report over the weekend said the four-time MVP refused medical imaging tests so he could keep playing. Ulbrich shot down that report, saying, "News to me." The Jets' once-promising season has taken an ugly turn, with owner Woody Johnson firing coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas. That has shifted the focus to Rodgers, who turns 41 on Monday. He said recently that he'd like to play in 2025, though his return to the Jets appears unlikely. One source told ESPN last week that he'd be "shocked" if Johnson signs off on Rodgers' return, though the owner could leave it up to his new GM and new coach. Rodgers will have a say, too, and he may not want to come back to play for a new coaching staff. He's under contract for 2025, but none of his salary is guaranteed. The Jets' backup is , who is signed for 2025. Amid the speculation about Rodgers' future, Ulbrich didn't feel the need to clear the air with Rodgers on Monday, their first day back from the bye week. "No, I feel like we are on the same page," Ulbrich said. "I think we're both people that are -- not to say I'm completely void of the knowledge of what's going on outside this building -- but my focus is here and what I can control. I think he feels the same way. From that standpoint, we've been on the same page from the beginning of this." Rodgers, who has started every game, is ranked 24th out of 33 qualified passers in Total QBR -- a below-average 51.4. He has no 300-yard passing games, extending his drought to 33 straight, and the offense has yet to reach the 30-point mark. "I want to be very clear about his work ethic and his process this year," passing game coordinator Todd Downing said Monday. "He's worked extremely hard. That did not change coming back from the bye." The Jets have a 0.7% chance of making the playoffs, according to ESPN analytics. Perhaps the Rodgers dynamic will change once they're eliminated. The quarterback hasn't commented in eight days, following their 28-27 home loss to the . In his postgame news conference, he repeatedly expressed his disappointment with the season. The franchise is one loss away from its ninth straight losing season. Linebacker , a captain, doesn't expect any quit. "You really have to not care about anybody in this building if your mindset goes to, 'We're 3-8, I'm done. I'm out of here. I'm checked out. I don't want to play anymore.' ... If anybody is on our team thinking that way, it's going to show really fast and I know I'm going to call it out."

(Reuters) : Nicaragua’s parliament on Monday approved a law that seeks to nullify foreign sanctions issued against President Daniel Ortega’s vice president and wife Rosario Murillo, several of their children and some 50 high-ranking state officials. The legislation, although unable to curb the impact of sanctions outside the country, aims to nullify their reach within Nicaragua by forcing local banks and other institutions to ignore them. It was unanimously approved by all 91 pro-government deputies in the Central American nation’s ruling Sandinista Front-dominated parliament after Ortega sent the bill to parliament last week. Walmaro Gutierrez, a deputy from Ortega’s Sandinista party who has been sanctioned by the United States since 2020, said the law enshrines the country’s sovereignty and independence. “We are tired of having the sword of Damocles always hanging over us or a boot always pressing against our neck,” he said. The law will become effective once it is published in the official gazette, which could happen within days. The “law to protect Nicaraguans from foreign sanctions and aggressions” declares sanctions imposed by foreign states, groups of states and organizations that violate international law as “null and void without any legal effect.” While Ortega cannot prevent foreign entities from issuing sanctions, the legislation seeks to block their impact within Nicaragua and puts pressure on bankers, who could face severe repercussions. It rules that no person or entity can suspend goods or services to sanctioned individuals or companies or they could face fines, a temporary or definitive suspension of operations and potential imprisonment under treason charges. Treason is often punished by around 10 years in prison, but prominent government critic Bishop Rolando Alvarez was stripped of his citizenship and sentenced to 26 years last year. He was later expelled to the Vatican. The United States, European Union, Switzerland and Canada have sanctioned some 50 top officials, including Murillo, some of Ortega’s children and police and army chiefs, accusing them of serious human rights violations during the repression of anti-government protests in 2018. Ortega has since cracked down on dissent. More than 200 political prisoners were freed last year and expelled to the United States, including five jailed former presidential hopefuls. Government critics warned the legislation pins Nicaragua’s financial system “up against the wall” as banks would be obliged to ignore foreign sanctions and reactivate accounts and transactions for those sanctioned. The vote comes days after Nicaragua’s parliament approved a constitutional reform that expands Ortega and Murillo’s influence, granting more power over the media, naming them co-presidents and increasing the presidential term to six years.New Delhi, Nov 22 (PTI) A total of 921 degrees was awarded at the seventh convocation ceremony of Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW) on Friday.

Cochin Shipyard (₹1,680.35) Rallies past a barrier The price of the stock of Cochin Shipyard saw a steady decline in price between early July and mid-November. However, before few weeks, it found a support at ₹1,250. On the back of this, the stock formed a morning star candlestick pattern. This chart set up indicates a bullish reversal and so, the probability of a rally from the current level is high. Over the medium-term, we anticipate the scrip to rally towards ₹2,850. Therefore, one can buy the stock at ₹ 1,680 and accumulate at ₹1,450. Place stop-loss at ₹1,230 at first. When the stock hits ₹2,100, trail the stop-loss to ₹1,900. When the upside stretches further to ₹2,500, tighten the stop-loss to ₹2,300. Exit at ₹2,850. Hindustan Aeronautics (₹4,562.65) Bulls gain traction The stock of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), since early July, has been in a downtrend. But three weeks back, the stock found a support at ₹4,000, where the 50-day moving average (DMA) coincided. It rebounded on the back of this and surpassed an important level of ₹4,500, its 20-DMA, last week, turning the outlook positive. We expect it to retest the resistance at ₹5,600 in the near-term. Go long now at ₹4,560 and buy more shares if the price softens to ₹4,300. Keep stop-loss at ₹3,850. When the price rises to ₹5,000, alter the stop-loss to ₹4,600. Move the stop-loss further up to ₹5,000 when the stock hits ₹5,300. Book profits at ₹5,600. Power Finance Corporation (₹513.75) Trend turning positive The stock of Power Finance Corporation (PFC) saw its price drop from ₹565 to ₹430 between early September and mid-October. But then the bears lost traction, leading to a sideways movement in price. Over the past three weeks, the stock has been gaining good positive momentum. Consequently, it moved past the hurdle at ₹475, indicating that the trend has turned bullish. We expect the scrip to appreciate to ₹650 over the next few months. Buy at ₹510 and accumulate if the price dips to ₹475. Place stop-loss at ₹425. When the stock touches ₹565, revise the stop-loss to ₹520. Tighten the stop-loss to ₹590 when the price hits ₹620. Liquidate the longs at ₹650.

Global Payments Inc. stock underperforms Wednesday when compared to competitorsThe launch of O-Train service will be delayed for more than four hours on Sunday, Dec. 1, as OC Transpo continues preparation for the launch of O-Train service in Ottawa's east end. OC Transpo general manager Renee Amilcar says the O-Train will be closed from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 1, to allow for testing of the Stage 2 software integration. "This temporary closure is required to perform testing of the Train Control System along with high-speed data radio, camera, and passenger information systems," Amilcar said. "Testing the integration of Stage 2 software with the existing O-Train system is a key step in preparing for the extension of O-Train Line 1 to Trim Station in 2025." The Line 1 extension will see the O-Train run between Blair Station and Trim Station. The Confederation Line normally opens at 8 a.m. on Sundays.
