North Macedonian political party demands ban on TikTok after at least 17 students injuredPresident-elect Donald Trump will return to power next year with a raft of technological tools at his disposal that would help deliver his campaign promise of cracking down on immigration — among them, surveillance and artificial intelligence technology that the Biden administration already uses to help make crucial decisions in tracking, detaining and ultimately deporting immigrants lacking permanent legal status. While immigration officials have used the tech for years, an October letter from the Department of Homeland Security obtained exclusively by The Associated Press details how those tools — some of them powered by AI — help make life-altering decisions for immigrants, including whether they should be detained or surveilled.

How Trump’s bet on voters electing him managed to silence some of his legal woesSEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his past negotiations with the United States only confirmed Washington’s “unchangeable” hostility toward Pyongyang and described his nuclear buildup as the only way to counter external threats, state media said Friday. Kim spoke Thursday at a defense exhibition where North Korea displayed some of its most powerful weapons systems, including intercontinental ballistic missiles designed to target the U.S. mainland, the North’s Korean Central News Agency said. While meeting with army officers last week, he had pledged a “limitless” expansion of his military nuclear program. Kim has yet to comment directly on Donald Trump's reelection as U.S. president. During his first term, Trump held three highly orchestrated summits with the North Korean leader in 2018 and 2019, before the diplomacy collapsed over disagreements in exchanging the release of U.S.-led economic sanctions and the North’s steps to wind down its nuclear program. During the speech at the exhibition, Kim touched on the failed summits without naming Trump. “We have already gone as far as possible with the United States with negotiations, and what we ended up confirming was not a superpower’s will for coexistence, but a thorough position based on force and an unchangeable invasive and hostile policy,” toward North Korea, Kim said.

Kim accused the United States of raising military pressure on North Korea by strengthening its military cooperation with regional allies and increasing the deployment of “strategic strike means,” apparently a reference to major U.S. assets like long-range bombers, submarines and aircraft carriers. He called for accelerated efforts to advance the capabilities of his nuclear-armed military, saying the country’s only guarantee of security to build up the “strongest defense power that can overwhelm the enemy.” Kim's expanding nuclear weapons and missile program includes various weapons targeting South Korea and Japan and longer range missiles that have demonstrated the range to reach the U.S. mainland. Analysts say Kim’s nuclear push is aimed at eventually pressuring Washington into accepting the North as a nuclear power and to negotiate economic and security concessions from a position of strength. In recent months, the priority of Kim’s foreign policy has been Russia, as he tries to strengthen his international footing, embracing the idea of a “new Cold War” and aligning with President Vladimir Putin’s broader conflicts with the West. Washington and its allies have accused North Korea of providing Russia with thousands of troops and huge amounts of military equipment, including artillery systems and missiles, to help sustain its fighting in Ukraine. Kim in return could possibly receive badly needed economic aid and possible Russian technology transfers that would possibly enhance the threat posed by his nuclear-armed military, according to outside officials and experts. Even with Trump returning to the White House, a quicky resumption of diplomacy with Pyongyang could be unlikely, according to some experts. North Korea's deepening alliance with Russia and the weakening sanctions enforcement against Pyongyang are presenting further challenges in the diplomatic push to resolve the nuclear standoff with Kim, who also would have a greater perception of his bargaining powers following a rapid expansion of his arsenal in recent years.How pop-up warnings and chatbots can be used to disrupt online child sex abusers

Clemson added a quarterback to its 2025 recruiting class on Tuesday with Chris Denson announcing his decision to flip from Coastal Carolina. The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder from Plant City High School in Florida had been committed to the Chanticleers since April and has yet to visit Clemson's campus. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney has been putting a push on to flip Denson in recent weeks following the decommitment of Blake Hebert last month. "I just feel like my development will be through the roof," Denson told On3.com about his decision to switch. "Playing under one of the best coaches in the country and knowing that I haven't reached my potential yet, I know that they will take me to that level." A three-star recruit, Denson is ranked as the No. 50 quarterback in the nation by the 247 Composite. He is the 14th player to commit to the Tigers, who have also seen six players decommit this cycle, according to The Greenville News. "What makes Clemson special is just the level of ball that they are playing at," Denson said. "And the way they compete. I'm a huge competitor, so that's the type of place and people I want to surround myself around." --Field Level Media

The Baltimore Ravens showed why they're in a different weight class than their AFC counterparts. Baltimore defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 on the road to conclude Week 12 on Monday Night Football . Los Angeles started strong behind an energetic offense led by Justin Herbert and defensive stops, but it didn't prove sustainable, especially after J.K. Dobbins was ruled out with a knee injury. Once Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Co. got going, the Chargers found out they didn't have enough lightning to strike back. The result moved Baltimore to 8-4, while Los Angeles fell to 7-4. Let's analyze the matchup further with winners and losers: While Jackson's passing completions and yards didn't light up the stat sheet, they didn't need to. Henry and Hill made things happen on the ground that allowed Jackson's game to be much simpler. Henry led the way with a robust 140 yards on 24 carries, while Hill chipped in 55 on four carries thanks to a 51-yard house call midway through the fourth. Jackson added a crafty rushing touchdown himself early on as the Ravens totaled 213 ground yards. Dobbins enjoyed a positive start to the game with 40 rushing yards on six carries before being ruled out with an injury. The onus shifted to Edwards, who is in his first season with Los Angeles after a five-year run with Baltimore. But the former Raven couldn't get revenge against his former team, mustering a poor 11 yards on nine carries. He scored a late one-yard touchdown that helped flatter the scoreboard. Herbert started off well, but the offense couldn't sustain enough long drives to maintain pace with Baltimore. Jackson's two touchdown throws were both brilliant hauls from the receivers. The first involved Rashod Bateman. With just under 30 seconds before halftime, Jackson heaved a deep ball into the end zone, where Bateman somehow brought it in despite heavy contact. The second came early in the fourth quarter. This time it was Mark Andrews on third-and-goal, who got up to "Moss" his marker. Los Angeles' 2023 first-round pick continues to be a disappointment. The Chargers hoped Johnston could develop into an improved wideout as a sophomore, but the TCU product just hasn't been able to deliver. The 6-foot-4 wideout was targeted five times, but he did not record a single reception. Instead, rookie second-rounder Ladd McConkey led the receiving department with six catches on six targets for 83 yards. Los Angeles' lack of offensive weapons continues to be a weakness against better opposition. The older brother strengthened his dominance. John Harbaugh, Baltimore's head coach, moved to 3-0 all time against his younger brother, Jim, Los Angeles' head coach. Both wins came in the 2011 season when John's Ravens beat Jim's San Francisco 49ers in the regular season and, eventually, the 2013 Super Bowl. Jim may have a CFP national championship under his name with Michigan, but he is still winless in the "Harbaugh Bowl."
