777 super ace jili ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani police arrested thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of a rally in the capital to demand the ex-premier’s release from prison, a security officer said Sunday. Khan has been behind bars for more than a year and has over 150 criminal cases against him. But he remains popular and his political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf or PTI, says the cases are politically motivated. Shahid Nawaz, a security officer in eastern Punjab province, said police have arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters. They include five parliamentarians. Pakistan has sealed off Islamabad with shipping containers and shut down major roads and highways connecting the city with PTI strongholds in Punjab and northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. Tit-for-tat teargas shelling between the police and the PTI was reported on the highway bordering Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Earlier on Sunday, Pakistan suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns.” The government and Interior Ministry posted the announcement on the social media platform X, which is banned in Pakistan. They did not specify the areas, nor did they say how long the suspension would be in place. “Internet and mobile services will continue to operate as usual in the rest of the country,” the posts said. Meanwhile, telecom company Nayatel sent out emails offering customers “a reliable landline service” as a workaround in the areas suffering suspended cellphone service. Khan's supporters rely heavily on social media to demand his release and use messaging platforms like WhatsApp to share information, including details of events. PTI spokesperson Sheikh Waqas Akram said Khan's wife Bushra Bibi was traveling to Islamabad in a convoy led by the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur. “She cannot leave the party workers on their own,” said Akram. There was a festive mood in Peshawar, with PTI members dancing, drumming and holding up pictures of Khan as cars set off for Islamabad. The government is imposing social media platform bans and targeting VPN services , according to internet advocacy group Netblocks. On Sunday, the group said live metrics showed problems with WhatsApp that were affecting media sharing on the app. The U.S. Embassy issued a security alert for Americans in the capital, encouraging them to avoid large gatherings and warning that even “peaceful gatherings can turn violent.” Last month, authorities suspended the cellphone service in Islamabad and Rawalpindi to thwart a pro-Khan rally. The shutdown disrupted communications and affected everyday services such as banking, ride-hailing and food delivery. The latest crackdown comes on the eve of a visit by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko . Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said authorities have sealed off Islamabad's Red Zone, which houses key government buildings and is the destination for Khan's supporters. “Anyone reaching it will be arrested,” Naqvi told a press conference. He said the security measures were in place to protect residents and property, blaming the PTI for inconveniencing people and businesses. He added that protesters were planning to take the same route as the Belarusian delegation, but that the government had headed off this scenario. Naqvi denied cellphone services were suspended and said only mobile data was affected. Associated Press writers Riaz Khan in Peshawar and Asim Tanveer in Multan contributed to this report.

Netanyahu ousted Defense Minister Yoav Gallant earlier this year. Also Read Which countries to arrest Netanyahu and which offered asylum following ICC arrest warrant? Netanyahu denied security document leaks from his office in a Saturday broadcast address, calling the situation a “political smear campaign” against him and his allies. The Prime Minister claimed security officials withheld vital information for political reasons. Netanyahu defended his spokesperson, Eliezer Feldstein, for leaking a fake document alleging a Hamas escape scheme, calling it a coordinated attack on his political base. Halevi's recommendations to change Gaza military operations have sparked right-wing criticism and media coverage over the past year. Right-wing newspapers like Mida have accused Halevi of undermining government goals by supporting a Hamas hostage deal and opposing extended military battles. According Israeli reports, Halevi and Netanyahu have had issues since the war began. Offensive efforts were delayed due to military strategy disagreements, particularly Halevi's preference for limited ground operations instead of a full-scale invasion of Gaza.

In April, Halevi advocated a hostage agreement in a speech, but Netanyahu refused, citing “red lines.” Halevi reportedly blamed the administration for unnecessary Jabalia casualties in military operations. The transitional administration of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid nominated Halevi Chief of Staff in September 2022. Halevi has been seen as an outsider by some in the administration since Netanyahu's return.

(CNN) — President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to impose massive tariffs was an early warning shot to try to force the hand of allies and adversaries to come to the negotiating table on immigration and trade issues, a transition official told CNN. Trump on Monday vowed hikes in the taxes American companies must pay on goods imported from Mexico, Canada and China starting on his first day in the White House, unless those countries comply with his demands to crack down on migration and drugs flowing into the United States. “Why not? No surprises,” the transition official told CNN. “We know what works.” Trump’s posts Monday on Truth Social appeared to be the opening act in a long-promised trade war with China and North American countries – as well as the latest illustration of how the president-elect plans to force other countries to help the United States stem the flow of migrants and drugs into ports and across borders, as he often vowed on the campaign trail. It comes despite warnings that tariff hikes, if they come to fruition, could increase inflation. A Goldman Sachs analysis on Tuesday projected that Trump’s proposed hikes would increase the core personal consumption expenditures index — a key inflation gauge that excludes food and energy costs — by 0.9%. And Matt Priest, the president of the leading footwear industry trade group Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America, warned that Trump’s proposed tariffs would “directly increase costs for retailers and consumers, leading to higher prices on everyday essentials like shoes.” But it’s a strategy that stems from a belief that similar threats worked in Trump’s first term in the Oval Office, the transition official said. During those four years, Trump took a hardline — and at times, scattershot — approach toward Latin America, which was largely the source of migration to the United States. That approach included levying consequences, like sanctions, and threatening and imposing tariffs. The Goldman Sachs analysis also described Trump’s tariff announcement as “more reminiscent of the first Trump administration, when such tariffs were announced as a negotiating tactic.” Trump ultimately declined to impose some of his proposed tariffs. In 2019, tariff threats ultimately resulted in Mexico giving in to the expansion of one of the Trump administration’s key immigration policies, known as “remain in Mexico,” according to two sources familiar with the matter. The unprecedented policy required migrants to stay in Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings in the United States. At that time, Trump’s 25% tariff threat on Mexico was short-lived and resulted in a deal within a matter of weeks, spurred by a delegation of Mexican officials that traveled to Washington for urgent talks. Trump’s then-senior adviser Stephen Miller and top aides to then-Vice President Mike Pence led the negotiations on behalf of the United States. If the talks had dragged out, prominent business lobbies had prepared to sue the Trump administration, alleging that the tariffs were not an adequate response to a non-trade issue. CNN previously reported that Trump’s team is gaming out a similarly aggressive strategy toward Latin America that will be a crucial element to plans to deport migrants and stem migration. The president-elect is moving forward with that approach despite the leaders of neighboring countries responding that it won’t achieve Trump’s stated goals, and would trigger a mutually destructive trade war. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a news conference Tuesday that “neither threats nor tariffs will solve the issue of migration or drug consumption.” “Imposing one tariff would mean another comes in response, continuing like this until we put shared companies at risk,” she said. “For example, some of the largest exporters from Mexico to the United States are General Motors, Stellantis and Ford Motor Company, which arrived in Mexico 80 years ago,” Sheinbaum said. “Why impose a tax that puts them at risk? It’s unacceptable and would cause inflation and job losses in Mexico and the United States.” The timing of Trump’s social media posts might have been a surprise, but their content was not. On the campaign trail, he frequently pledged to use tariffs as a negotiating tool to bend China and North American countries’ policies to his will. His advisers have acknowledged privately that tariffs could be more urgently slapped on Canada and Mexico, as Trump seeks to fulfill his campaign pledge to renegotiate his own free trade agreement. In July, Canada implemented a 3% tax on the profits of large foreign technology companies operating in the country — a move that both President Joe Biden’s outgoing administration and the incoming Trump team view as discriminatory and in violation of a 2018 trade deal between the United States, Canada and Mexico. During Trump’s first term, the three countries spent more than a year hammering out that deal — the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement — to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, which went into force in 1994. The new deal requires all three countries to renew it by July 1, 2026, to keep it in force — and Trump’s team is expected to call for renegotiating parts of the deal. Advisers see the new tariff threat as a way to build leverage for Trump going into those talks. Trump telegraphed that approach in an October speech at the Detroit Economic Club, where he said that upon taking office, he would “formally notify Mexico and Canada of my intention to invoke the six-year renegotiation provision of the USMCA that I put in.” Trump is said to want to open trade negotiations with Canada as quickly as possible after taking office. Howard Lutnick — the co-chair of Trump’s transition effort and his pick for Commerce secretary — said in a CNBC interview before the election that “of course” tariffs are a “bargaining chip,” and would help remove barriers to American-made goods in other countries. “This is just negotiating,” he said. But Lutnick added that Trump wouldn’t seek to slap price-raising tariffs on goods that aren’t made in the United States. “Do we make a lot of money on tariffs? Or we bring productivity here and we drive up our workers here?” Lutnick said. “So it’s a win-win scenario.” CNN’s Matt Egan and David Goldman contributed to this report.

It's been a whole year since Marvin Humes , the radio and TV sensation, bravely took the plunge from 15,000ft into the I'm A Celebrity jungle despite his fear of heights. Marvin, 39, endured three weeks on a basic diet alongside celebs like Sam Thompson , Josie Gibson , and Nigel Farage . But in a candid chat with OK! magazine, Marvin gushes about the thing he's most proud of his - his kids - and opens up on the discussion he and his wife Rochelle have had about adding a fourth to their brood. The couple, who married in 2012 and renewed their wedding vows after a decade , are already parents to their "amazing" children, Alaia-Mai, 11, Valentina, seven, and Blake, four, and Marvin says they're entering a new stage of their life. "We’re super proud parents and we’re lucky to have three wonderful children," he revealed, before addressing whether they want another. "I can safely say we’re done. As I said, we’re very lucky that we’ve been very blessed with three beautiful children. We are at the point now where we can leave the house with just the children, nothing else – no buggies, no bags, no this, no that." As a fresh batch of stars get to grips with a less civilised existence in the jungle on series 24, Marvin has some "really boring" but sage advice. some sage advice. "They've got to make the food stretch," he revealed. "I can't tell you how much we take for granted things like salt and pepper and sugar and seasoning. The food is so, so bland. We would get a camel's foot to eat and we would keep the skin just to flavour the rice! ". Marvin, who just released a 15th anniversary album with JLS, has teamed up with Fairy for its #LoadsOfKindness, which he says is especially important in the Humes household, and at the kids' school. " When Rochelle and I have parents’ evening the most important thing we want to hear is that our children are kind," he said. "It can be simple manners or asking how someone is and being polite. There is no magic handbook to parenting, we are all winging it and doing the best we can, but we want to instil kindness in our children like our parents did with us."

I recently asked readers of this column if they could recommend nurseries that more of us should know about. In response, Peggy Neiman suggested I visit the San Gabriel Nursery & Florist in San Gabriel, “The employees are delightful and knowledgeable with a wonderful variety of plants and flowers,” she wrote, noting the nursery’s “very interesting history.” The story is indeed interesting, and I’m going to share a summary of that history here that I got from the nursery’s website, but you can read it in full at sgnursery.com . Before doing so, I should mention that I have visited this nursery and can testify to its vast selection of fruit trees, roses and ornamental plants that’s second to none. If you are looking for cut flowers, this is also the place to go since they have a wide selection of exotic flora from which to choose. Garden accessories are also available in generous supply. Unfortunately, San Gabriel is in the citrus quarantine zone so you will have to look elsewhere for these trees. The story of today’s San Gabriel Nursery & Florist begins in 1917, with the arrival by boat of 21-year-old Fred Yoshimura in San Francisco. He had come to America with the dream of starting a business that would enable him to support his family in Japan. The following year brought Yoshimura to San Gabriel, where he lived in a boarding house while working in the gardens that were being planted in San Marino and Pasadena. The enterprising young gardener took cuttings from the plants and with money saved from his gardening jobs was soon able to rent a piece of land and establish Mission Nursery, from which he could sell nursery stock that developed from his cuttings. At this time, sprinkler systems were being installed for the first time and Yoshimura became an expert in this technology, adding to his skills as a gardening professional. Soon afterward, Yoshimura met Mitoko Naito. At the age of 15, she had come to South Pasadena to work in a home as a domestic helper. In 1924, the two young immigrants were married. At the suggestion of one of their customers, Mrs. Yoshimura became one of the first florists in the area, learning flower-arranging skills from this same customer. As their business grew, so did their family, with the Yoshimuras having two boys and two girls, all of whom would help to expand the thriving family business. By the early 1930s, Mission Nursery had 60 employees and business was booming. In addition to selling plants, the nursery installed irrigation systems, fish ponds, and rock gardens. The nursery also imported stone lanterns and benches from Japan which became quite popular, even hiring a man who had spent time in Japan learning how to craft these special Japanese garden accessories. Fred Yoshimura was proud of his heritage and helped those around him gain a better understanding of his culture. He was active in the Chamber of Commerce and president of the Nurserymen’s Association. His charitable nature came to the fore in donating truckloads of plants to military bases throughout California. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Fred Yoshimura, along with 120,000 other Japanese Americans, was sent to an internment camp even as his oldest son would be drafted and serve in the United States Army. Once the internment of Japanese Americans began, it was assumed that the nursery would have to be sold. Mrs. Yoshimura was approached by several buyers but rejected their offers which were too low. Finally, Manchester Boddy, publisher of the Los Angeles Daily News, presented a fair offer that was accepted by Mrs. Yoshimura. Not only would Boddy’s offer allow the Yoshimuras to pay off their bank loans, but they would receive monthly payments throughout their internment that made it possible for them to start another nursery business in the future. It should also be noted that while Mrs. Yoshuimura was in the camp, she was hired by the government to run a flower shop. She grew the plants and flowers that were used in floral arrangements for weddings and other events. When the war ended in 1945, the Yoshimuras returned to San Gabriel and established San Gabriel Nursery & Florist across the street from where Mission Nursery stood. That nursery was soon closed when Manchester Boddy took all the inventory to his estate where he started his own nursery business. That estate eventually became Descanso Gardens and visitors there will set their eyes on camellias, azaleas, and Japanese lanterns that were from the stock Boddy acquired when purchasing Mission Nursery from the Yoshimuras. On the nursery’s website, there is a compelling photo of a field of pansies on the San Gabriel Nursery property at that time. In those days, pansies (and other flowers, I am sure) were not purchased in plastic containers. You would go to the nursery and point to the flowers you wanted and they would be dug up for you to take home and transplant into your own garden. It should be noted that Bellefontaine Nursery, in Pasadena, was started in the 1930s by the Uchidas, another Japanese American family. They too were interned during World War II, but with the assistance of friends were able to keep possession of the nursery during the war. You can read the complete history of the nursery and the family behind it at bellefontainenursery.com . California native of the week : Foliage, flowers and hips (fruit) of California wild roses (Rosa californica) are all fragrant and the hips are recommended for making tea. California wild roses will appreciate a bit more moisture than other native plants. While growing in full sun close to the coast, they will benefit from partial shade in hotter, more inland environments. California wild roses make a fine natural barrier because of their nasty thorns that will keep out meandering urban wildlife. Individual plants will grow in a thicket, with each rose bush reaching up to 6 feet tall with a spread of 10 feet. There is a wonderful display of these roses in a planter at the entrance to the Los Angeles Zoo. Related Articles
