Malik took a moment out of his Stairway to the Sky tour set to dedicate the song “iT’s YoU” to Payne, who died on Oct. 16 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “So, I’ve been doing something at the end of the show every night, and it’s being dedicated to my brother Liam Payne. Rest in peace. I hope you’re seeing this in your hometown tonight, Wolverhampton. This is for you Liam,” Malik said in a fan video . the sweetest speech for liam tonight🥺 na i’m crying #fyp #zayn #wolverhampton #zayntour #zaynsttstour #liampayne #liam #zayntribute The former One Direction member previously honored Payne in his Leeds show earlier in the week when he displayed the words, “Liam Payne, 1993-2024. Love you, bro,” on a screen with a heart. The show comes just a few days after Malik, Harry Styles , Louis Tomlinson , and Niall Horan attended Payne’s funeral in Wolverhampton. The singer was laid to rest one month after he died of multiple traumas, internal and external bleeding, and a cranial injury as a result of his fall from the third story of the CasaSur hotel in Palermo on Oct 16. Three people — a friend of Payne, a hotel worker, and an alleged drug dealer — have been charged with supplying the singer with the drugs twice before his death. Following Payne’s death, Tomlinson, Malik, Horan, and Styles each published individual tribute posts on social media. They also penned a joint statement that was published on One Direction’s official Instagram account. It marked the first post on the account since July 2020, as the band has been on an indefinite hiatus since 2016. “We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly,” the band wrote. “The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.” Prior to Malik’s shows in England, he postponed the U.S. leg of the tour to mourn the loss of his friend. “Given the heartbreaking loss experienced this week, I’ve made the decision to postpone the US leg of the STAIRWAY TO THE SKY Tour,” he wrote on his Instagram Story three days after Payne’s death. “The dates are being rescheduled for January and I’ll post them as soon as it’s all set in the next few days. Your tickets will remain valid for the new dates, love you all and thank you for your understanding.”

The leader of Sinn Fein has expressed determination to form a government of the left in Ireland as she insisted her party’s performance in the General Election had broken the state’s political mould. Despite Mary Lou McDonald’s confidence around shaping a coalition without Fine Gael and Fianna Fail – the two parties that have dominated the landscape of Irish politics for a century – the pathway to government for Sinn Fein still appears challenging. With counting following Friday’s election still in the relatively early stages – after an exit poll that showed the main three parties effectively neck-and-neck – there is some way to go before the final picture emerges and the options for government formation crystalise. Taoiseach and Fine Gael leader, Simon Harris, has dismissed talk of a Sinn Fein surge and said he was “cautiously optimistic” about where his party will stand after all the votes are counted. Meanwhile, Ireland’s deputy premier and Fianna Fail leader, Micheal Martin, insisted his party has a “very clear route back to government” as he predicted seat gains. The counting process could last days because of Ireland’s complex system of proportional representation with a single transferable vote (PR-STV), where candidates are ranked by preference. The early indications have turned the focus to the tricky arithmetic of government formation, as the country’s several smaller parties and many independents potentially jockey for a place in government. Ms McDonald told reporters at the RDS count centre in Dublin that she would be “very, very actively pursuing” the potential to form a government with other parties on the left of the political spectrum. The smaller, left-leaning parties in Ireland include the Social Democrats, the Irish Labour Party, the Green Party and People Before Profit-Solidarity. Ms McDonald said her party had delivered an “incredible performance” in the election. “I think it’s fair to say that we have now confirmed that we have broken the political mould here in this state,” she said. “Two party politics is now gone. It’s consigned to the dustbin of history and that, in itself, is very significant.” She added: “I am looking to bring about a government of change, and I’m going to go and look at all formulations. “If you want my bottom line, the idea of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael for another five years, in our strong opinion, is not a good outcome for Irish society. “Obviously, I want to talk to other parties of the left and those that we share very significant policy objectives with. So I’m going to do that first and just hear their mind, hear their thinking. But be very clear, we will be very, very actively pursuing entrance into government.” In Friday night’s exit poll, Sinn Fein was predicted to take 21.1% of first-preference votes, narrowly ahead of outgoing coalition partners Fine Gael and Fianna Fail at 21% and 19.5% respectively. Prior to the election, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael both ruled out entering government with Sinn Fein. Fine Gael leader Mr Harris rejected suggestions Sinn Fein had broken new ground. He told reporters in his count centre in Greystones, Co Wicklow: “Certainly we haven’t seen a Sinn Fein surge or anything like it. “I mean, it looks likely, on the figures that we’ve seen now, fewer people, many fewer people would have voted Sinn Fein in this election than the last one. “In fact, I think they’re down by around 5% and actually the parties, particularly the two parties, the two larger parties in government, are likely to receive significant support from the electorate. So definitely, politics in Ireland has gotten much more fragmented.” He said it was too early to tell what the next government would look like. “I think anybody who makes any suggestion about who is going to be the largest party or the construct of the next government, they’re a braver person than I am,” he said. “Our electoral system dictates that there’ll be many, many transfers that will go on for hours, if not days, before we know the final computations at all. “But what I am very confident about is that my party will have a very significant role to play in the years ahead, and I’m cautiously optimistic and excited.” Fianna Fail’s Mr Martin told reporters at a count centre in Cork he was confident that the numbers exist to form a government with parties that shared his political viewpoint. Mr Martin said it “remains to be seen” whether he would return to the role of Taoiseach – a position he held between 2020 and 2022 – but he expressed confidence his party would outperform the exit poll prediction. “It’s a bit too early yet to call the exact type of government that will be formed or the composition of the next government,” he said. “But I think there are, there will be a sufficiency of seats, it seems to me, that aligns with the core principles that I articulated at the outset of this campaign and throughout the campaign, around the pro-enterprise economy, around a positively pro-European position, a government that will strongly push for home ownership and around parties that are transparently democratic in how they conduct their affairs.” Asked if it would be in a coalition with Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Social Democrats, he said that would be “racing a bit too far ahead”. The final result may dictate that if Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are to return to government, they may need more than one junior partner, or potentially the buy-in of several independent TDs. Mr Martin said it was unclear how quickly a government can be formed, as he predicted his party would gain new seats. “It will be challenging. This is not easy,” he added. The junior partner in the outgoing government – the Green Party – looks set for a bruising set of results. Green leader Roderic O’Gorman is in a fight to hold onto his seat, as are a number of party colleagues, including Media Minister Catherine Martin. “It’s clear the Green Party has not had a good day,” he said. The early counting also suggested potential trouble for Fianna Fail in Wicklow, where the party’s only candidate in the constituency, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, is considered to have a battle ahead, with the risk of losing his seat. Meanwhile, there is significant focus on independent candidate Gerard Hutch who, on Saturday evening, was sitting in fourth place in the four-seat constituency of Dublin Central. Last spring, Mr Hutch was found not guilty by the non-jury Special Criminal Court of the murder of David Byrne, in one of the first deadly attacks of the Hutch-Kinahan gangland feud. Mr Byrne, 33, died after being shot six times at a crowded boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel in February 2016. A Special Criminal Court judge described Mr Hutch, 61, as the patriarchal figurehead of the Hutch criminal organisation and said he had engaged in “serious criminal conduct”. The constituency will be closely watched as other hopefuls wait to see if transfers from eliminated candidates may eventually rule him out of contention. In the constituency of Louth, the much-criticised selection of John McGahon appeared not to have paid off for Fine Gael. The party’s campaign was beset by questioning over footage entering the public domain of the candidate engaged in a fight outside a pub in 2018. The Social Democrats have a strong chance of emerging as the largest of the smaller parties. The party’s leader, Holly Cairns, was already celebrating before a single vote was counted however, having announced the birth of her baby girl on polling day.

The San Francisco 49ers' Week 12 game with the Green Bay Packers is close to a must-win for the defending NFC champions, but their star-studded roster appears in poor shape to attack the challenge of coming away from Lambeau Field with a victory. San Francisco practiced for the second time this week on Thursday, but seemingly did so without quarterback Brock Purdy, defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams. If you were listing the players most important to the 49ers' hopes of victory on Sunday, that trio would likely be at the top. Per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Purdy was throwing at the very start of the section of practice open to the media but left the field soon after. There was no Nick Bosa, Trent Williams or Brock Purdy at the start of practice. Purdy, who is dealing with a right shoulder injury, was throwing at the very start of the session but left the field soon thereafter. He has been dealing with shoulder soreness sustained in last Sunday's upset loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy did not throw in Wednesday's practice. Bosa suffered another hip/oblique injury in the defeat to Seattle, doing so on a third-quarter sack of Geno Smith. Williams, meanwhile, battled through an ankle injury in Week 11. Both Bosa and Williams sat out the opening session of the week on Wednesday. A second straight missed practice does not necessarily mean they will miss the Packers game, with head coach Kyle Shanahan insisting they will be given every chance to prove their fitness to play. "When it comes to a guy like Bosa, when it comes to a guy like Trent [Williams], their position, the veterans they are, how they play. Those guys have all the way until kickoff for me," said Shanahan. "Towards the end of the week I'll have a better feel and he'll have a better feel and that's when we'll discuss." The likelihood is that the 49ers are being cautious with Purdy ahead of the most important game of the season so far. Still, it is far from an ideal turn of events for the Niners and, if they are put in a situation when they are starting Brandon Allen at quarterback without Williams and Bosa, then Shanahan's team may soon find themselves in too deep of a hole from which to climb out and rescue their season.

Depressed Teenage Girl Lying On Bed At Home Looking At Mobile Phone A recent Australian social media ban might impact the tech industry more than we think. The recent measure, which will level fines against companies like Meta and X for violations , impacts anyone 16 years of age and younger. Tech companies have a year to figure out how to protect underage users from accessing the app, beyond the nominal measures they use today. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spoke to reporters and said: “Platforms now have a social responsibility to ensure the safety of our kids is a priority for them.” The Senate passed the law in Australia on Thursday this last week with 34 in favor and 19 against. The House passed the law with 102 “yes” votes to just 13 against. The ripple effects of these bans ( like the one for TikTok ) are clear: Social media companies will bear the burden for ensuring that underage users need more than an email and the ability to check a box saying they are over a certain age limit to access the apps. Yet, that’s not even the biggest takeaway of this new social media ban. Apart from the technological challenges, social media companies will need to grapple with how the ban could lead to further legal action related to how social media impacts mental health. Refresh Your Wardrobe And Home With Quince’s Black Friday Deals The Best Black Friday Deals On TVs, According To Our Tech Editor How the Australian social media ban addresses teen mental health One of the most recent reports explains how social media can impact teenagers. While the findings did mention a few benefits such as increased socialization, there’s clear evidence that social media can cause stress and mental health issues for teens. Excessive use (about three hours a day) can lead to low self-esteem, for example. An even more alarming stat has to do with teens feeling depressed. A recent study found that 40% of teens who use social media struggle with feelings of sadness. Even worse, the same study found that teenage girls are twice as likely as boys to have suicidal thoughts if they are frequent social media users and are also more likely to be bullied in school and online. Another finding has to do with obsessive social media use which has led to tech addiction. It’s becoming more common, especially among teens. The Australian social media ban is obviously a reaction to all of these reports, and addresses a concern that there are inadequate age-gating systems. Has the social media ban taken things too far? A good question to ask at this juncture is whether leveling fines against the tech companies is the best course of action. Some experts even question whether the studies about mental health are accurate or if they can be proven for the general populace, outside of those surveyed. And, while the Australian social media ban is one of the most far-reaching measures we’ve seen so far, enforcement is going to be a challenge. Short of requiring that a teen scan their identification and submit for inspection, age-gating is difficult because there’s no way to prove whether the teen has found a workaround. It’s thorny because, holding the social media companies liable in these cases means there has to be some way to prove the technology is faulty or flawed. While we can all agree that excessive social media use is not good for anyone in all age groups, the real impact of this Australian social media ban might be further discussion and debate about how to handle the issue for everyone.(The Center Square) – Eleven states, led by Texas, have sued the three largest institutional investors in the world for allegedly conspiring to buy coal company stocks to control the market, reduce competition and violate federal and state antitrust laws.
