Irish premier praises Dublin woman who won civil case against Conor McGregorTaoiseach Simon Harris said he also wanted to tell Nikita Hand, a hair colourist from Drimnagh, that her case had prompted an increase in women coming forward to ask for support. Ms Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the Irish capital on Friday. The total amount of damages awarded to Ms Hand by the jury was 248,603.60 euro (£206,714.31). Mr McGregor said in a post on social media on Friday that he intends to appeal against the decision. That post has since been deleted. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Mr Harris said he told Ms Hand of the support she has from people across Ireland. “I spoke with Nikita today and I wanted to thank her for her incredible bravery and her courage,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that she knew how much solidarity and support there was across this country for her bravery. “I also wanted to make sure she knew of what the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre had said yesterday – that so many other women have now come forward in relation to their own experiences of sexual abuse as a result of Nikita’s bravery.” The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre said the case has had a “profound effect” on the people the charity supports, and that over the first 10 days of the High Court case, calls to its national helpline increased by almost 20%. It said that first-time callers increased by 50% compared to the same period last year, and were largely from people who had experienced sexual violence who were distressed and anxious from the details of case and the views people had to it. Mr Harris said: “I wanted to speak with her and I wanted to wish her and her daughter, Freya, all the very best night, and I was very grateful to talk with Nikita today. “Her bravery, her courage, her voice has made a real difference in a country in which we must continue to work to get to zero tolerance when it comes to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. “I don’t want to say too much more, because conscious there could be further legal processes, but I absolutely want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her courage, for using her voice.” Justice Minister Helen McEntee praised Ms Hand’s bravery and said she had shown “there is light at the end of the tunnel”. She said: “I just want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her determination and the leadership that she has shown in what has been – I’ve no doubt – a very, very difficult time for her and indeed, for her family. She added: “Because of wonderful people like Nikita, I hope that it shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that there are supports available to people, and that there is justice at the end of the day.” Ms Hand said in a statement outside court on Friday that she hoped her case would remind victims of assault to keep “pushing forward for justice”. Describing the past six years as “a nightmare”, she said: “I want to show (my daughter) Freya and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served.” During the case, Ms Hand said she was “disappointed and upset” when the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided not to prosecute the case after she made a complaint to the Irish police. In a letter to her in August 2020, the DPP said there was “insufficient evidence” and there was not a reasonable prospect of conviction. Ms Hand asked the DPP to review the decision, saying she felt she was being treated differently because one of the suspects was famous. Asked about the DPP’s decision not to prosecute, Mr Harris and Ms McEntee stressed the importance of the DPP’s independence on whether to prosecute. “There are obviously structures in place where the DPP can meet a victim and can outline to them their reasons for not taking the case,” Mr Harris said. “But there’s also always an opportunity for the DPP in any situation – and I speak broadly in relation to this – to review a decision, to consider any new information that may come to light, and I don’t want to say anything that may ever cut across the ongoing work of the DPP.” Ms McEntee stressed that there should “never be any political interference” in the independence of the DPP’s decisions. “I have, since becoming minister, given priority to and enabled a new office within the DPP to open specifically focused on sexual offences, so that this issue can be given the focus and the priority that it needs,” she said.

SIOUX CITY -- Regina Roth has donated $1 million to Morningside University for a new animal science and food safety lab on campus. The lab will be located in the Walker Science Center and used by students in the Regina Roth Applied Agricultural and Food Studies Department. It is expected to start construction in 2025. The lab will feature cutting-edge technology to advance research and provide hands-on learning experiences, preparing students for leadership roles in industries essential to community well-being and global food system sustainability, according to a news release. "With agriculture and food production being two of Siouxland’s largest industries, the Regina Roth Applied Ag and Food Studies Department at Morningside will play a pivotal role in preparing students to meet the growing demands of these fields, ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for the region,” said Morningside President Albert Mosley. Regina Roth is a local business leader and philanthropist. She is the co-founder of empirical foods, a Dakota Dunes-based meat company. “Regina exemplifies exceptional business acumen and an unwavering dedication to community development. Her contributions to the Siouxland community have left a lasting legacy of innovation and progress. This transformative gift reflects her strong commitment to advancing education and improving lives," Mosley said. In fall of 2014, Morningside University launched the Regina Roth Applied Agricultural and Food Studies Program. Morningside named the program for Regina Roth to recognize the generous contribution she made to the new academic major. The program started in 2015 with just nine students, a conference room in Buhler Rohlfs Hall and an externship program to place students in the community. Since, the university added a garden program to provide fresh produce for the dining center, The Lags Greenhouse, The Cargill Outdoor Classroom and test plot area, and the Lags Farm.Angela Rippon’s legs span generations. Boomers remember them from the 1976 Christmas special, emerging from behind a news desk to perform surprise high-kicks. Later generations are more familiar with them from her stint on last year’s , during which their flexibility made Angela a one-woman meme machine. But Britain’s is so much more than a pair of pins. Fresh-faced and razor sharp on the other end of a Zoom call, it’s still easy to forget that she is 80. Angela is full of purpose, razor sharp, eloquent and glowing with youthful energy. But at the moment she’s got death on her mind. She is on a mission to encourage everyone to leave a gift to charity in their will, and is fronting the campaign. “Charities are totally dependent on the generosity of individuals,” she says. “If you’re passionate enough about the work that a charity does during your lifetime, it’s not rocket science to think that when you’re gone, it would be a good thing if you could still support them.” Angela supports a range of charities, including the Alzheimer’s Society, Support Dogs, the Carers Trust and Action for Children and several causes close to her heart will benefit from the money she leaves when she dies. “It’s a wonderful legacy to know that my involvement with that charity can exist long after I’ve gone,” she says. Not that she has plans to go anywhere just yet. “I’ve made it to 80. Did I assume that I would? I don’t know that I did, except that my parents lived until they were very old,” she says. “In my mind, I’m still 30.” Her energy and zest for life was nowhere more evident than during her spell on Strictly last year when she was partnered with Kai Widdrington and made it to the Blackpool heats. “I just loved it,” beams Angela, who presented BBC’s from 1988 to 1991. “I had the best time, and I had the best possible partner. It is a joyous programme. I don’t know of any other television programme that brings such joy and happiness to people.” Following last year’s series, the flagship BBC show was clouded in controversy after one of the celebrity contestants, actress , complained about her dance partner, Giovanni Pernice. After an investigation, the BBC apologised to Abbington and upheld verbal bullying and harassment complaints against Pernice, but cleared him of the most serious allegations of physical aggression. “The whole thing was blown out of proportion in some aspects online,” explains Angela. “It was unpleasant for everyone who was involved. But the program is bigger than that. You may have one or two stories that are negative, but you have 2,000 stories that are positive. It doesn’t mean to say that everybody who works on Strictly has those same kinds of accusations made against them.” Any negative stories about a show as big as are bound to become clickbait, she explains. “The majority of people who work on Strictly are fabulous. It’s unfortunate that there have been negative stories, but the negative stories are in the minority compared to what happens with the programme as a whole. And it’s the programme as a whole that will survive.” Since appearing on the show Angela reveals that her love of dance has led her on a mission to get the nation moving. She even hopes to get dance sessions prescribed on the NHS, having created a consortium of dance organisations called Let’s Dance. “It’s now so big that I’m working with the government to try and get dancing socially prescribed, and to recognise that dance really is valuable for the nation’s health,” she says. The campaign will launch next year and involves a National Day of Dance ‘to persuade people that dance isn’t just something that you watch on the telly or go to a theatre to see’. Kai is also involved. “He’s very keen to get dance back into schools,” says Angela, who explains that if more people take up dancing, the physical benefits, which include better core strength and balance, could reduce the £14 billion cost of falls to the NHS each year. Recently photographed looking resplendent at the Oldies Awards, Angela says the ability to use her profile to raise awareness of causes close to her heart gives her purpose. One of those causes is dementia. Angela became an ambassador for the after she lost her mother, Edna, to the disease in 2009. “If me being involved has, in some part, helped more people to be aware of dementia and brought it out of the shadows, that’s a positive thing to do,” she says, and explains that there are misconceptions about the disease. “It is not all horrific,” she corrects. “There are moments of joy in it as well. When my mum was going through it, my hairdresser, who was a part of a huge Italian family, had a family wedding and told me they had decided not to bring granny because she had dementia and wouldn’t recognise anyone or remember it. I said, you’ve got to invite her because she will enjoy the moment. They invited her and afterwards said they were so glad because although she didn’t remember it, or recognise many of the people, she had the best time and was singing along to the music, dancing, and having fun. For that moment, it was wonderful.” Angela is mindful of her own mental health and does a range of things to keep her including Sudoku, jigsaw puzzles and learning French. She also takes turmeric supplements, cod liver oil and for her gut health, because she has intolerances to dairy and gluten following a severe episode of food poisoning several decades ago. She first became a public figure in the mid-seventies when her appearance on the made headlines. She was the first female newsreader to gain acceptance on the BBC as a regular news presenter. “I was one of the only women in the newsroom and I remember the reaction when I started,” she recalls. “Women were previously excluded from the newsreader job because it was felt they didn’t have the authority and the gravitas, the integrity or the experience to be taken seriously as newsreaders, which is bonkers.” Would it be fair to say then that she’s experienced misogyny in her career? “There were misogynistic attitudes in some quarters,” she nods. “But my male colleagues in television news were always very supportive, so it was not universal. It might have been misogynistic in certain boardrooms, but it was not at the coalface. “There is much more of an acceptance that the women who are doing certain jobs, perhaps once seen as jobs for men, are doing them because they’re good at them. The people at the top in broadcasting no longer think, should I be appointing a woman into that job to bring my quota up? They just say, who’s the best person for the job?” The journalistic professionalism she has adhered to all her life is reflected less in modern media, however, especially on social media where ‘too many non-journalists are opinionated and make assumptions and present them as facts’. “Which for me is the cardinal sin,” she says. “So much social media is misinformed, badly informed or invented, whereby most journalists still working in newspapers, radio and television still have standards that they live by.” Although she has no plans to slow down, Angela does sometimes consider time’s ceaseless march. “I’ll be happy to be able to look back and say overall I was a pretty decent human being,” she says. And a national treasure? “They only call me that because I’ve been around so long,” she laughs.
An interview of an alleged worker of Area 51, a highly classified United States Air Force base in Nevada, from 199 containing an ominous prediction about the year 2025 is going viral. In the video, the alleged Area 51 worker describes a conversation with another worker who worked at the Groom Lake, a highly classified Air Force base in the Nevada desert, part of Area 51. "About a year later, we were talking about, again, activities at Groom Lake," the former Area 51 worker says. "And I asked him, I said, can you really tell me what's happening out there? And he said, well, there's a lot of things that are going on there that I won't be able to tell you until the year 2025." "But we have things in the Nevada desert that would make George Lucas envious," he adds. Here's the video: Notably, the video had a watermark revealing that it was taken by Jim Goodall, an expert on military aviation, the SR-71 Blackbird, stealth technology, and Area 51. However, conservative accounts on X are sharing that video as the 'real Project 2025' - a reference to the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 that attracted a lot of criticism on for the policies it advocated.

"When I asked him, I said, first of all, I said, do you believe in UFOs?" he says in the interview. "And he looked at me with a straight face and one-on-one, he said, absolutely, positively, they do exist."

Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens said the move means a fund to support businesses across Wales heavily reliant on Tata steel will be increased to £30 million. She also announced that more businesses will be able to apply for the funds, and the value of individual grants is increasing to up to £250,000 for businesses to invest in equipment, property, technology. The Government said there has been “significant demand” on the existing funding, with almost 40 businesses employing 2,000 people having begun the application process. Grants worth millions of pounds are expected to be released in the new year. The increase in funding is in anticipation of more people leaving Tata in early 2025 through the company’s voluntary redundancy scheme. Ms Stevens said: “This Government is acting decisively to support workers and businesses in Port Talbot. “We are doubling the funding available to businesses and workers and widening access to grants to ensure we support as many people as possible. “In just four months we have announced more than £40 million in investment. We said we would back workers and businesses affected by the transition at Port Talbot and we are doing exactly that. “While this remains a very difficult time for Tata workers, their families and the community, we are determined to support workers and businesses in our Welsh steel industry, whatever happens.”
