Factors such as age, lifestyle, and health conditions all play a role in determining how much sleep a person requires. By paying attention to their own sleep patterns and prioritizing quality rest, individuals can ensure that they are getting the amount of sleep that is best for them. Remember, 7 hours of sleep may not be suitable for everyone, so listen to your body and adjust your sleep routine accordingly.

Anthony Albanese's nemesis breaks down on live TV - as Greens suffer a major blow Greens MP breaks down over housing Says he has friends evicted over rent READ MORE: Anthony Albanese's nemesis issues fresh ultimatum By DAVID SOUTHWELL FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 23:23, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 23:28, 25 November 2024 e-mail View comments Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather became emotional as he spoke about how the housing crisis is impacting his generation after being accused of 'letting down young voters' by capitulating to Labor. Mr Chandler-Mather, 32, was questioned by interviewer Sarah Ferguson on Monday night's episode of ABC's 7.30 Report about whether the Greens, by agreeing to pass two Labor housing bills, had failed the party's base of younger voters. 'Everyday we don't solve the housing crisis I feel like I have let them down a little bit,' an emotional Mr Chandler-Mather said. 'My generation for the first time are probably going to be worse off than our parents. I feel that acutely.' Mr Chandler-Mather's voice wavered as revealed he had 'friends who have been kicked out of their homes because they can't afford the rent or have given up on ever being able to buy a home'. 'And it hurts me a lot, actually, to see that. I find it really hard,' he said. The Greens delayed the Albanese government’s Help to Buy and Build-to-Rent bills for months, pushing for changes to property investor tax concessions and rent rise caps. However, they ultimately supported the bills despite these demands not being met. Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather grew emotional talking about his generation's housing prospects. Ferguson pressed Mr Chandler-Mather, who is the Greens spokesperson on housing, whether the minor party had dropped the demands because they feared electoral backlash for not supporting the Bills. Mr Chandler-Mather, who has been a consistent thorn in Mr Albanese's side, denied this. 'There comes a point when you realise you have pushed as hard as you can,' he said. 'What we have decided is to pass these two Bills and take this fight to the next election.' Although the Greens secured no concessions, Mr Chandler-Mahler said they pressured Labor into questioning negative gearing, the tax break housing investors get for rental properties that many argue dries up homes for first-time buyers. 'We also got close on negative gearing they costed that policy and that would have been the most positive genuine shift of housing policy in generations in Australia,' he said. Mr Chandler-Mather has proven a thorn in the side of the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Read More Anthony Albanese was riding high - then a single taunt about his $115,000 investment property portfolio got under his skin... Housing Minister Clare O'Neil said the two Bills 'have now got a really clear passage through the parliament'. 'I'm glad (the Greens) have finally seen the light,' she said on Monday. 'But it doesn't excuse the fact that they have played politics on housing for two-and-a-half years, and the net effect of the Greens in this term of parliament is to delay action on housing.' The proposed Help to Buy scheme would see the government to contribute 30 per cent of the purchase price of a home or 40 per cent for a new build for those earning under $90,000 for a single applicant or $120,000 for a couple. The government share reduces the cost for the homebuyer, although it must be paid back upon sale. Under the Build to Rent bill tax concessions would encourage the constructing properties for rent. Last year the Greens were able to secure an extra $3 billion of investment for social housing in negotiations for the Housing Australia Future Fund.

They will be quizzed about possible missed clues and security failures before the December 20 attack in the eastern city of Magdeburg, where police arrested the 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist Taleb al-Abdulmohsen at the scene. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, Saxony-Anhalt state officials, and the heads of Germany's domestic and foreign intelligence services are expected to face a closed-door committee hearing in parliament from 1200 GMT. Abdulmohsen is the only suspect in the attack in which a rented BMW sport utility vehicle ploughed through the crowd of revellers at high speed, leaving a trail of bloody carnage. Investigators have yet to declare a suspected motive in the assault that used a motor vehicle as a weapon, which recalled past jihadist attacks, including in Berlin and in the French city of Nice in 2016. Abdulmohsen, by contrast, has voiced strongly anti-Islam views, sympathies with the far right, and anger at Germany for allowing in too many Muslim war refugees and other asylum-seekers. According to unconfirmed media reports citing unnamed German security sources, he has in the past been treated for mental illness and tested positive for drug use on the night of his arrest. The Saudi suspect has been remanded in custody in a top-security facility on five counts of murder and 205 counts of attempted murder, prosecutors said, but not so far on terrorism-related charges. Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who faces elections in February, has declared that Germany needs to "investigate whether this terrible act could have been prevented". "No stone must be left unturned," he told news portal t-online on Friday, echoing similar comments by Faeser. Scholz said that "over the years, there have been repeated clues" about the suspect, adding that "we must examine very carefully whether there were any failings on the part of the authorities in Saxony-Anhalt or at the national level". German media digging through Abdulmohsen's past and his countless social media postings have found expressions of anger and frustration, and threats of violence against German citizens and politicians. Saudi Arabia said it had repeatedly warned Germany about Abdulmohsen, who came to Germany in 2006 and was granted refugee status 10 years later. A source close to the Saudi government told AFP that the kingdom had in the past sought his extradition. Germany has not officially commented on this claim, but would usually deny requests to send people granted asylum back to the country they fled. Abdulmohsen had a history of brushes with the law and court appearances in Germany, media have reported, including for threats of violence. German police have said they had contacted Abdulmohsen in September 2023 and October 2024, and then repeatedly tried but failed to meet him again in December. Police hold such meetings with people deemed a potential threat to make clear they are under close watch and to deter misconduct. Ahead of the German elections, the Christmas market bloodshed has reignited fierce debate about immigration and security, after several deadly knife attacks this year blamed on Islamist extremists. The head of the conservative opposition, Friedrich Merz, wrote that, whether the attacker was a jihadist or an anti-Islam activist, "conflicts are being fought out on German soil... We have to stop this!" bur/fz/bc

The move could usher in an end to a protracted political crisis in the European Union country following the annulment of a presidential election by a top court. Parliament approved the new administration in a 240-143 vote in Romania's 466-seat legislature. The new coalition is made up of the leftist Social Democratic Party, or PSD, the center-right National Liberal Party, PNL, the small ethnic Hungarian UDMR party and national minorities. It caps a month-long period of turmoil in which far-right nationalists made significant gains in a Dec. 1 parliamentary election , a week after a first-round presidential race saw the far-right outsider Calin Georgescu emerge as the front-runner. “It will not be an easy mandate for the future government,” Ciolacu, whose PSD party topped the polls in the parliamentary election, said in a statement Monday. “We are aware that we are in the midst of a deep political crisis," he said. "It is also a crisis of trust, and this coalition aims to regain the trust of citizens, the trust of the people.” Romani's 16 ministerial positions will be shared among the parties, which will hold a slim majority in the legislature. It's widely seen as a tactical partnership to shut out far-right nationalists whose voices found fertile ground amid high living costs and a sluggish economy. President Klaus Iohannis was expected to swear in the new government later Monday. Ciolacu, who came third in the first-round presidential ballot despite polls indicating he would win the most votes, has served as prime minister since June 2023. Romania was plunged into turmoil after Georgescu’s surprise success in the presidential race, after allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference emerged. Days before the Dec. 8 runoff, the Constitutional Court made the unprecedented move to annul the presidential race . “We go through complicated times, but I think we all learned from mistakes of the past,” Ciolacu said. “I hope that together with my colleagues in the coalition, we’ll find the best solutions to get past the challenges we have in front of us.” Ciolacu said that the new government would aim to quickly organize the rerun of the presidential election in which the new coalition has agreed to put forward an agreed common pro-European candidate. George Simion, the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, which came second in the parliamentary election, said that all lawmakers from his party on Monday would vote against the Ciolacu government. In 2021, the PSD and the PNL also formed an unlikely but increasingly strained coalition together with UDMR, which exited the Cabinet last year after a power-sharing dispute.

El Ejido: Spain’s Poinsettia capital With more than 2 million of these festive flowers produced each year, the town has truly earned its place as Spain’s Christmas Poinsettia capital.

Semilleros Laimund first began growing Poinsettias in 1989, starting with just 2,000 plants. Today, it produces around 350,000 of these iconic Christmas flowers annually at its El Ejido and Níjar facilities. Supporting local: The economic impact of Poinsettia farming Mayor Góngora encouraged local residents to bring the holiday spirit into their homes by purchasing Poinsettias grown right in their own town. With 17 producers in El Ejido, the town leads the way in ornamental flowers, and supporting local production helps strengthen the community’s economy. Poinsettias with purpose: Empowering communities through AgroIntegra The mayor also visited ‘AgroIntegra,’ a workshop run by the Down El Ejido association, where participants gain skills in this industry. This plan helps boost their independence and social skills, making a real difference in the lives of those involved, especially as the Christmas season draws near. The History Behind Decorating with Poinsettias at Christmas Poinsettias have become a popular symbol of Christmas, thanks to their red and green leaves, which evoke the colors of the holiday season. The connection between Poinsettias and Christmas dates back to 16th-century Mexico, where the plant was known as ‘Nochebuena’ or ‘Holy Night,’ referring to Christmas Eve. According to legend, a poor girl who had no gift to give to the Christ child on Christmas Eve gathered weeds from the side of the road. When she placed them at the altar, the weeds miraculously transformed into beautiful red flowers. The plant was later named after Joel Poinsett, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico in the early 1800s, who brought the plant to the United States and began cultivating it. Today, the Poinsettia remains a beloved decoration during the holiday season, symbolising the spirit of giving and the beauty of Christmas. Read more Almeria news, articles and events here
