Nepal protest top updates: Army to take charge of security after PM Oli’s resignation

0

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he was “anguished” by the loss of lives in the neighbouring country amid violent demonstrations.
The Nepali Army on Tuesday said that it will assume control of security operations in the country from 10 pm as violent unrest continued for a second day in Kathmandu and other cities, PTI reported.
This came hours after Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned from his post amid widespread protests against corruption and his government.
In a statement following Oli’s resignation, the Army’s Directorate of Public Relations and Information said that some groups were taking “undue advantage of the difficult situation and causing severe damage to ordinary citizens and public property”.
All security agencies, including the Army itself, would be fully mobilised if violence continued, the statement added. It also urged citizens to refrain from destructive acts and help restore order.
The agitation was sparked by the Nepali government’s ban on 26 social media platforms, but evolved into a broader protest against alleged corruption and misgovernance. On Monday, protesters clashed with security forces, leading to the deaths of 19 persons. Around 400 protesters were injured in the clashes.
Amid pressure from the public, the Oli government lifted the social media ban on Monday night.
The demonstrations have been described as a protest by “Gen Z”, generally referring to persons born between 1995 and 2010.

Red Bull Racing Seals Major Deal with Global Investment Firm

0

The Red Bull F1 team announced a fresh partnership after its recent win at Monza.
Red Bull Racing Formula One team has announced a new multi-year partnership with global investment firm Carlyle. The news arrives days after Max Verstappen secured a dominant victory at the Italian GP at Monza.
Through the deal, Carlyle will gain access to Red Bull’s platform in reaching out to clients, communities, and business partners. The collaboration aims to open up further avenues for both parties in the private market as they experience a period of significant growth.
As a result of this new deal, Red Bull will sport the Carlyle branding on the “Red Bull Racing RB21 challenger and across key team assets, including the car chassis, drivers’ team kit, pit wall and garage environment.” Addressing the partnership, Red Bull CEO and team principal Laurent Mekies said in a statement:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Carlyle to the team. Both of our organisations are build on world-class talent, bold thinking, and a drive to perform at the highest level.
“As an iconic firm in global finance, Carlyle brings a long-term perspective with an expansive network, and we look forward to building a powerful partnership on and off the track. Formula 1 demands relentless focus and precision, and we see clear alignment with Carlyle’s approach to investing.”
Harvey Schwartz, CEO of Carlyle, said:
“Our industry is undergoing an extraordinary transformation, fueled by greater access to private markets and growing interest from a new generation of investors. That same spirit of growth and inclusivity is reshaping Formula 1®, as Oracle Red Bull Racing leads the way in expanding the sport to new audiences globally.
“This partnership unites two high-performing teams driven by innovation and excellence. We’re excited to partner with one of the most illustrious brands in global sport to engage new audiences and create long-term value together.”
The deal with Carlyle could be seen as a major move by Red Bull, a team that has gone through many ups and downs through the 2025 season thus far. However, Verstappen’s win from last weekend at Monza proved that the team is capable of securing dominant wins when the RB21 is set up as per the four-time world champion’s preferences. Speaking about his victory at the ‘Temple of Speed’, Verstappen said:
“It was a great day for us. Lap 1 was a bit unlucky but after that we were flying. The car was really enjoyable. I could manage the pace quite well throughout that first stint and we pitted at the right time.
“With the hard tyres at the end, you can push a bit more, it’s more resilient. Fantastic execution by everyone by the whole team. The whole weekend, we were on it. It’s super enjoyable to win here.”
Speaking about the superior pace of his RB21 F1 car, Verstappen said:
“I could see the pace was good, I just needed to settle in. I could see the pace was there and quite quickly we were back in the lead. This was an unbelievable weekend.”

Ініціатива PURL: Латвія виділить для України 5 млн євро

Міноборони Латвії за механізмом PURL для України виділить 5 млн євро
Уряд Латвії ухвалив проєкт постанови про надання фінансової підтримки Україні за ініціативою НАТО та США, відому як PURL (Prioritized Ukraine Requirement List/Список пріоритетних вимог України).
Про це йдеться у повідомленні Міністерства оборони Латвії.
У Міноборони країни зазначили, що проєкт постанови, який підтримав уряд, передбачає виділення для ЗСУ 5 млн євро.
Згідно з рішенням, загалом внесок країни цього року становитиме вищевказану суму, з яких 3 млн євро виділять з бюджету оборонного відомства, а 2 млн євро — з бюджету Міністерства закордонних справ.
“Ми повинні продовжувати підтримувати Україну всіма можливими способами, оскільки це єдиний спосіб посилити її здатність захищати свій суверенітет і територіальну цілісність, а також перемогти в боротьбі проти держави-агресора, Росії”, — повідомили в Міністерстві оборони.
Там наголосили, що ініціатива PURL є способом надати ЗСУ американську зброю, яка “вже підвищила бойові можливості в критичні моменти для утримання лінії фронту, проведення контрнаступу і продемонструвала підтримку України з боку Сполучених Штатів”.
У МЗС Латвії повідомили, що фінансовий внесок у купівлю американської зброї для підтримки української армії є чітким сигналом про готовність НАТО та його партнерів задовольнити пріоритетні військові потреби України та зміцнити колективну безпеку в країнах Європи.
“Внесок Латвії є політичною та практичною демонстрацією солідарності, що підтверджує готовність Латвії разом із союзниками захищати міжнародний порядок від російської агресії”, — додали у відомстві.

Supreme Court allows Trump to temporarily withhold nearly $5B in foreign aid payments

0

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the administration to freeze nearly $5 billion in foreign aid payments that President Trump moved to cancel in a rare “pocket rescission” last month.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the administration to freeze nearly $5 billion in foreign aid payments that President Trump moved to cancel in a rare “pocket rescission” last month.
In a one-page order, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts granted the Trump administration’s emergency request to block a federal judge’s Sept. 3 ruling that required $11.5 billion in funds previously appropriated by Congress to be dispersed.
Roberts partially stayed Washington, DC-based District Judge Amir Ali’s order for foreign aid spending “subject to the President’s August 28, 2025 recission [sic] proposal currently pending before Congress.”
Trump notified House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) last month of his request to cancel $3.2 billion in United States Agency for International Development (USAID) development assistance, $322 million from the USAID-State Department Democracy Fund, $521 million in State Department contributions to international organizations, $393 million in State Department contributions to peacekeeping activities and $445 million in separately budgeted peacekeeping aid.
The request, known as a pocket rescission, was presented to Congress so late in the fiscal year – which ends Sept. 30 – that it would take effect regardless of whether lawmakers approve.
The procedural move has not been used by a president in nearly 50 years.
The nearly $5 billion in funds had been bound for several nonprofit organizations and foreign governments.
Ali, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, ruled last week that Congress would have to approve the rescission proposal for the Trump administration to withhold the money.
“To date, Congress has not responded to the President’s rescission proposal by rescinding the funds,” Ali wrote. “And the [Impoundment Control Act] is explicit that it is congressional action — not the President’s transmission of a special message — that triggers rescission of the earlier appropriations.”
Nonprofit groups suing the Trump administration over the funding freeze argued that it violated federal law and threatened to shutter urgent, lifesaving programs abroad.
Solicitor General D. John Sauer pleaded with the high court that Ali’s ruling was “an unlawful injunction that precipitates an unnecessary emergency and needless interbranch conflict.”
Roberts asked the nonprofits behind the lawsuit, led by Global Health Council, to file a response by Friday as the high court reviews the case.

Apple Unveils iPhone 17, But Super-Slim iPhone Air Takes Center Stage

0

The Plus is out and the Air is in. Apple’s trim smartphone launches next week alongside the standard iPhone 17 and new 17 Pros.
Apple loves a super-slim smartphone, and it continued that trend today with the iPhone Air, the standout of its newest flagships that replaces the Plus and debuts alongside a standard iPhone 17 and two premium Pro devices.
The full lineup will be available for preorder on Friday, Sept. 12 ahead of a Sept. 19 launch.iPhone Air
The iPhone Air lands at a barely there 5.6 millimeters. (The iPhone 16 is 7.8mm, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 8.25mm.) At 6.5 inches, the Air’s screen is still somewhat sizable, however, landing between the 6.3-inch iPhone 17 Pro and 6.9-inch 17 Pro Max.
You’ll find Apple’s ProMotion variable refresh rate display previously limited to Pro models, which can range from 1Hz to save power up to 120Hz for smoother performance.
Despite the slimmer profile, Apple says the iPhone Air will deliver up to 27 hours of battery life with video playback. It’s eSIM-only worldwide to make room for other components, like the new A19 Pro chip with a 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU, Apple-built N1 Wi-Fi chip, and updated C1X modem. The N1 supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread.
There’s one camera on the back. Apple says it “works like multiple advanced cameras in one,” but we’ll have to put it through its paces to see how that shakes out. There’s a 48MP Fusion main camera and an 18MP Center Stage front camera, which will keep you in view for images and video; a square sensor should provide a wider field of view.
The iPhone Air retains the titanium frame from earlier Pro models and includes an Action Button with Camera Control.
The iPhone Air starts at $999 for 256GB model, making it $100 more expensive than the Plus version it replaces. If you need more space, 512GB ($1,199) and 1TB ($1,399) variants are also available. It comes in space black, cloud white, light gold, and sky blue.iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max
The Pro models get a slight makeover: the titanium frame is out and aluminum is back in. Though the iPhone 16 Pros included an impressive heat-resistant titanium design, they still got warm when we ran benchmarks in testing. Not as hot as the iPhone 15 Pro models, but a return to aluminum and a new internal vapor chamber might put overheating concerns to bed.Recommended by Our Editors
On the back, the bump—or “plateau,” as Apple refers to it—leaves room for a bigger battery and eSIM support. Apple promises up to 39 hours of video playback. For the first time, Apple also added the Ceramic Shield to the back of the phone for added protection.
The Pro and Pro Max come in 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch sizes, respectively, with ProMotion up to 120Hz, an always-on display, and 3,000 nits of peak outdoor brightness.
The Pro models also run the A19 Pro chip, but feature a 6-core CPU and 6-core GPU. The N1 is here too, but no Apple-built C1 modem, suggesting it’s sticking with Qualcomm.
Camera upgrades, meanwhile, include a jump from 12MP to 48MP for the telephoto lens on the 48MP Pro Fusion camera system (main, ultra wide, and telephoto), with up to 8x optical zoom at 200mm. It also has the 18MP Center Stage front camera. It will auto-adjust depending on the shot; no need to flip to landscape mode to get everyone in a group selfie.
The iPhone 17 Pro starts at $1,099 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at $1,199 for 256GB, with 512GB, 1TB, and a new 2TB variant available. Get it in deep blue, silver, or a new cosmic orange.iPhone 17
The standard iPhone 17 gets a small display boost from 6.1 to 6.3 inches. You’ll also find Apple’s ProMotion variable refresh rate and an always-on display. It runs the A19 and N1 chips, but no C1 modem. It sticks with an aluminum frame.
Expect up to 30 hours of video playback, up from 22 on the iPhone 16. There’s a 48MP Dual Fusion camera system with up to 2x optical zoom and an 18MP Center Stage front camera. It also gets the square sensor and selfie tricks.
The 256GB iPhone 17 starts at $799 and comes in lavender, mist blue, sage, white, and black.

James McAvoy attacked by stranger at bar during Toronto Film Festival

0

James McAvoy was sucker-punched by an intoxicated patron while out celebrating his directorial debut, “California Schemin,'” at TIFF on Monday, Sept. 8.
James McAvoy was assaulted by a random man at a bar during the Toronto Film Festival.
The “X-Men: First Class” actor, 46, was sucker-punched by an intoxicated patron while out celebrating his directorial debut, “California Schemin’,” on Monday, Sept. 8, The Post can confirm.
People was first to report the news, with eyewitnesses revealing the incident happened at Toronto bar Charlotte’s Room around 11:55 p.m.
The “Split” star was caught off guard when he was struck by the stranger from behind. He tried to de-escalate the situation while others jumped in to remove the man from the late-night establishment.
“James was having a casual get-together with the producers of his movie and, as he later learned when speaking with the staff, there was a man who drank too much who was getting escorted out,” a source close to the actor told the outlet, noting McAvoy’s “back was to him and the man just punched him.”
He was not hurt from the punch.
McAvoy stayed at the bar and later learned that bar staffers had asked the intoxicated man to leave before he took his frustration out on the star.
The “Glass” actor had a good laugh about the incident with other patrons and continued enjoying his time at the bar, The Post can reveal.
McAvoy’s reps were not immediately available for comment.
“California Schemin’” debuted at TIFF on Saturday, Sept. 6.
McAvoy’s musical biographical film is based on the true story of Silibil N’ Brains, the Scottish hip-hop duo consisting of Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, who posed as Americans to fulfill their dreams of becoming superstars.
Séamus McLean Ross plays Bain alongside Samuel Bottomley, who stars as Boyd. McAvoy also has a small part in the film. Other cast members include Lucy Halliday and Rebekah Murrell.
McAvoy recently discussed his experience as a first-time director.
Calling the task “stressful” but “amazing,” he told People, “It’s the most creative thing I’ve ever done.”
He said it was a refreshing experience to flip the script.
“I’ve loved telling stories as an actor for 30 years. It’s an extension of that. I now love telling stories as a director because I get more tools with which to tell those stories. It was a privilege,” McAvoy shared during the interview held at TIFF on Sunday, Sept. 7.
He explained how his decades-long acting career helped him in the director’s chair.
“I want them to give me them. And you can’t tell somebody how to be them,” McAvoy explained. “Yeah, they’re playing a character, but really what I want is them — bare, open, vulnerable as a performer and as a person so the audience can see inside them. You can’t direct them to that. So you’ve gotta make the space to let them become that.”
The Scottish star also revealed how he knew this was the right story for his directorial debut.
“I realized I needed to tell a story about a hometown that felt like my hometown, an economic background that felt similar to mine,” McAvoy said. “People who had a lack of opportunities like the people in my neighborhood had, who had very confined, close horizons that you couldn’t physically get out of. But art can get you beyond them.”

South Koreans detained in Georgia to return home Wednesday

0

A chartered plane will ferry hundreds of South Koreans home from Atlanta after they were detained for illegally working at a Hyundai electric battery plant.
Sept. 9 A chartered plane will ferry hundreds of South Koreans home from Atlanta after they were detained for illegally working at a Hyundai electric battery plant in Georgia.
About 300 South Korean nationals were among 475 people detained by federal agents on Thursday at the under-construction electric battery plant in Ellabell, Ga.
The South Korean government is sending a chartered plane to Atlanta on Wednesday morning to remove those who want to return to South Korea, according to CNN.
The aircraft likely will depart Atlanta during the afternoon.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, during a Tuesday cabinet meeting, expressed a “profound sense of responsibility” and his “deepest sympathy” to South Koreans who were affected, NBC News reported.
Some of those who were detained said they will stay in the United States to challenge their detainments in court.
Lee called the matter an “unjust infringement upon the activities of our people and companies in pursuit of the shared development of South Korea and the United States.”
The South Korean government will work closely with the U.S. government to make “reasonable institutional improvements” to prevent further occurrences, Lee said.
Homeland Security Investigations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement conducted the raid and said those who were detained are not authorized to work in the United States.
Three of those who were detained are from Japan, and others were from Central and South American nations.
The electric battery plant is a joint project by Hyundai and LG Energy Solution and is to provide batteries for Hyundai electric vehicles.
Many of those working at the plant had B-1 visas, which are issued for short-term business travel, The Korea Herald reported.
Many others received electronic travel authorization to visit the United States, but neither B-1 visas nor the travel authorizations allowed their respective holders to work.
ICE officials agreed to allow the South Koreans and others to voluntarily leave the United States, which Wednesday’s planned flight will enable them to do.
