Joe Biden Emerges US 46th President, Defeats Donald Trump
Joe Biden has been elected as the 46th President of the United States four days after elections were concluded.
The former Vice President has won the 2020 election with 273 electoral votes so far.
He is joined in his celebration by Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris, who will make history as the first female vice president, as well as the first Black and South Asian American vice president.
It was a keenly contested election against incumbent President Donald Trump that saw him win in swing states such as Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin.
On Saturday, Biden had won Pennsylvania, giving him to the necessary 270 electoral votes—and the White House.

Schneider Electric Advocates Microgrids for Sustainable Energy Drive
As part of efforts to drive further adoption of energy alternatives, Schneider Electric, has shared sustainable approaches to providing resilient and clean energy in Nigeria and the world in general.
The digital energy multinational at a recent innovation summit held in Maryland, US, hosted top pioneer companies in the microgrid space to discuss the way forward in the industry.
Speaking at the event, Schneider Electric Group Chairman and CEO, Mr Jean-Pascal Tricoire, addressed how industry experts, through software and technologies, are making the digital, electric world a reality.
He also posed that organisations across the world can accelerate digital transformation by choosing the right technologies to achieve a wide range of sustainability goals, like microgrids.
Adding her input on Schneider's aim for upscaling the energy world in Nigeria, Microgrids Expert, Schneider Electric, Ms Teina Teibowei, mentioned that carbon emissions from the power sector in the country reached around 11.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020.
She stated that existing technologies could reduce these emissions by 70 per cent and engineer a healthier energy world for humans across the world.
In addition, she shared a core point for organisations wishing to adopt microgrids in Nigeria on the use of the Energy-as-a-service funding model for seamless project execution.
"The Energy-as-a-service model limits technical and operational risk while delivering on reliability and cost-effectiveness. Schneider Electric is strong with an extensive network of partners in West Africa to deliver on this solution."
With the recent sustainability dilemma facing the world, rapid transformations in technology across all sectors, and the tripled advancement of cars, computers, phones, and daily technologies relied on, there is an ever-increasing demand for more energy than the 20th-century technology for technological power advancement.
Microgrids are self-contained electrical networks that draw from on-site energy sources and can operate independently of the grid. They offer straightforward solutions for elevating energy resilience and clean energy. Thus, they are a key 21st -century solution for powering 21st-century technologies.
According to, Mr Babajide Ogunlesi, Regional Product Application Engineer, Schneider Electric, the use of microgrids is participating in the resolution of the energy challenge in Nigeria by paving a sustainable path to electrification, as well as providing innovative energy solutions to drive cost-efficiency for homes and organisations.
He also mentioned a key point to note when building a microgrid, which is to start with a rightsized microgrid design to optimize cost efficiency as there is no one-size-fits-all microgrid.
"It is essential to right-size at the design phase of the microgrid for it to deliver measurable
energy-cost efficiency. Factors to consider are the specific load to power, the load requirements at any given time and the demand sources.
"Taking the time to design the solution properly avoids ending up with an under or over-sized microgrid. The goal is to tailor a solution that is just right for the user's energy needs," he added.
Schneider Electric has committed to providing energy and automated digital solutions for efficiency and sustainability in every home, industry, infrastructure, and data centre by combining energy technologies, real-time automation, software, and services.
Osun Tribunal Sacks Adeleke as Governor
The Osun State Election Petition Tribunal has removed Mr Ademola Adeleke as Governor of the state.
The tribunal chaired by Justice Tertse Kume sacked the former Senator via a judgement delivered on Friday in Osogbo, the state capital.
Two of the three judges of the tribunal said Mr Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was the winner of the governorship election held last July.
They held that the Certificate of Return should be withdrawn from Mr Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and issued to Mr Oyetola.

According to the judges, the APC was able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Adeleke won the poll through irregularities, including over-voting in some polling units.
Justice Kume, who read the judgement, said Mr Oyetola scored the majority lawful votes of 314,931 against the 219,666 votes garnered by Mr Adeleke.
In a terse reaction, the state government, via a post on the Osun State Government Facebook post, hinted that the judgement would be appealed at the appellate court.
"No cause for alarm. Appeal is the destination.
"There are two judgements given by the tribunal, one favours PDP and the other u favour if the petitioner. The next battle moves to appeal court by both parties. Status quo remains as Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke remains in office," the post said.
LASEMA Battles to Curtail Fire Outbreak at Balogun Market
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has said it was working tirelessly with other agencies to put out the fire at 3/5 Gbajumo Street, Balogun, Lagos Island.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the organisation said it received a distress call from concerned persons in the wee hours of today over the unfortunate incident.
It was gathered that a 5-storey building at the Balogun Market was gutted by fire, destroying properties worth millions of Naira.
Giving an update on the situation, LASEMA said the joint teams, which rushed to the scene of the inferno, were having a constraint preventing the fire trucks from having direct access to the source of the fire, which are the shops constructed on the road blocking all routes.
"The agency received a distress call around 12:30 am today, Thursday, January 26, 2023, regarding a fire outbreak at No 3/5 Gbagumo street Balogun market, Lagos Island, which prompted the immediate activation of the Emergency Response Team to the scene of the incident.
"Consequent upon arrival at the scene of the incident, information gathered revealed that some shops (rubber shoes and clothes are stored) on the first floor of a 5-storey building was gutted by fire. However, the cause of the fire could not be ascertained.
"Fortunately, there is no loss of life or casualty involved in the incident.
"Collaborative efforts to put out the fire are ongoing by the agency's Response Team and its fire unit, alongside Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Federal Fire Service, Police Force, CBD, LASAMBUS, LNSC and NEMA.
"However, the joint teams have a constraint which is preventing the fire trucks from having direct access to the source of the fire, which are the shops constructed on the road blocking all routes.
"Efforts are still ongoing to prevent the spread of the fire to nearby buildings. Operations are also still ongoing," the statement said.

The Oghuric, Onoguric or Oguric languages (also known as Bulgar, Bulgharic, Pre-Proto-Bulgaric or Lir-Turkic and r-Turkic) are a branch of the Turkic language family. The only extant member of the group is the Chuvash language. The first to branch off from the Turkic family, the Oghuric languages show significant divergence from other Turkic languages, which all share a later common ancestor. Languages from this family were spoken in some nomadic tribal confederations, such as those of the Onogurs or Ogurs, Bulgars and Khazars.

History
The Oghuric languages are a distinct group of the Turkic languages, standing in contrast to Common Turkic. Today they are represented only by Chuvash. The only other language which is conclusively proven to be Oghuric is the long-extinct Bulgar, while Khazar may be a possible relative within the group. The Hunnic language is sometimes assumed to have been a Oghuric language, although such speculations are not based on proper linguistic evidence, since the language of the Huns is almost unknown except for a few attested words and personal names.

There is no consensus among linguists on the relation between Oghuric and Common Turkic and several questions remain unsolved:

Are they parallel branches of Proto-Turkic () and, if so, which branch is more archaic?
Does Oghuric represent Archaic Turkic before phonetic changes in 100-400 AD and was it a separate language?

Fuzuli Bayat dates the separation into Oghur r-dialects and Oghuz z-dialects to the 2nd millennium BC.

Features
The Oghuric languages are also known as "-r Turkic" because the final consonant in certain words is r, not z as in Common Turkic.  -  -  - . Hence the name Oghur corresponds to Oghuz "tribe" in Common Turkic. Other correspondences are Com. š : Oghur l (tâš : tâl, 'stone'); s > š; *č > ś; k/q > ğ; y > j, ś; d, δ > δ > z (10th cent.) > r (13th cent.)"; ğd > z > r (14th cent.); a > ı (after 9th cent.). The shift from s to š operates before i, ï, and iV, and Dybo calls the sound change the "Bulgar palatalization".

Denis Sinor believed that the differences noted above suggest that the Oghur-speaking tribes could not have originated in territories inhabited by speakers of Mongolic languages, given that Mongolian dialects feature the  -z suffix. Peter Golden, however, has noted that there are many loanwords in Mongolic from Oghuric, such as Mongolic ikere, Oghuric *ikir, Hungarian iker, Common Turkic *ikiz 'twins', and holds the contradictory view that the Oghur inhabited the borderlands of Mongolia prior to the 5th century.

The Oghuric tribes are often connected with the Hungarians, whose exo-ethnonym is usually derived from On-Oğur (> (H)Ungari). Hungarians -> Hun Oghur -> (ten oghur tribes): On ogur -> up.chv. Won ogur -> dow.chv. Wun ogur -> belor. Wugorac -> rus. Wenger -> slove. Vogr, Vogrin -> cheh. pol. Węgier, Węgrzyn, -> lit. Veñgras.  The Hungarians are culturally of mixed Ugrian / Turkic heritage, with strong Oghuric-Bulgar and Khazar influences, even though much of the modern-day Hungarian genepool also has strong Slavic, Germanic, and Iranic influences. Hungarian has many borrowings from Turkic and Oghuric languages: Hung. tenger, Oghur. *tengir, Comm. *tengiz 'sea', Hung. gyűrű, Oghur. *ǰürük, Comm. *yüzük 'ring', and terms of equestrian culture ló 'horse', nyereg 'saddle', fék 'bridle', ostor 'whip'. A number of Hungarian loanwords were borrowed before the 9th century, shown by sz- (< Oğ. *ś-) rather than gy- (< Oğ. *ǰ-), for example Hung. szél, Oghur. *śäl, Chuv. śil,  Comm. *yel 'wind', Hung. szűcs 'tailor', Hung. szőlő 'grapes'.

In the Oghuz languages as azer. tur. öküz means ox (totemic animal), and is a reflection of the Chuvash language wăkăr where rhotacism is used, in the Kipchak languages it is ögiz.

ConservativeHome's Interviews
« Any questions for Peter Hitchens? | Main | Any questions for David Frum? »
Ed Vaizey MP answers your questions...
a-tracy: "Why is there hardly any mention of you being a 'Conservative' MP on your website?"
MPs' websites are paid from their Incidental Expenses Provision, because they are a way of keeping constituents informed of their activities in Parliament and in the constituency. The use of party political material is prohibited. That is why my web site, and indeed that of your previous correspondent Ann Widdecombe, is generally free from party political material.
I am of course very proud to be a Conservative MP. I have worked for the party in one capacity or another since I was a teenager – the majority of my life. This has included a stint at central office during my gap year, a prominent role in my University Association in the late 80s, a ward chairman and Treasurer of my Association in the 90s, a candidate in two Labour-held council seats and one Labour parliamentary seat, two years as a desk officer in CRD, being a campaign aide to Iain Duncan Smith and a year for Michael Howard as his speechwriter. That is why I am so passionate to see the party I have supported all my life adapt and change to the new electoral landscape, so that we can return to Government and set about making Britain a better place to live.
Tom Ainsworth: "I've been enjoying listening to Ed's podcasts. In one of them he says that he's a Euro-sceptic who would like the EU to become merely a free trade area. Since it hardly seems to be moving much in this direction, does he think there's any possibility in the foreseeable future of the Conservatives advocating withdrawal from the EU, and perhaps joining EFTA instead? If not, why not?"
I would not advocate withdrawal from the European Union.
I do understand why people in Britain do talk of withdrawal. Along with Sweden, we share a cultural and political confidence that is lacking in almost all other member states. Germany and France want the EU to stop them fighting each other (and also as a vehicle to pursue their narrow national interests). Spain, Portugal and Greece want it to shore up their democracies. Italy wants it because it has a fragile identity. The eastern European countries want it to embed their freedom from the old Soviet bloc. Britain does not suffer from any of these insecurities. Furthermore, we in Britain have strong cultural links with India and the Commonwealth, so we have a much broader world view than many other member states.
So of course, withdrawal is an option that can be discussed in a much more rational way in this country than in others (unless you are a member of Labour or the Liberal Democrats, and therefore devoid of any ability to think). However, I think the European Union is too important to be left to the French and the Germans. Chirac appears to have completely lost it, and his successors look no better. I do not have confidence that the new German government will push for reform. In the face of these obstacles, the temptation is simply to walk away. However, this would be precipitate. I think external pressures will begin to make the process of reform inevitable. Europe is so uncompetitive that even Gordon Brown's Britain manages to out-perform most countries. The new Eastern European members will also want to overcome obstacles to their growth.
We have been waiting a long time for Europe to change. But we do now have an opportunity to push for real reform. This might include structural changes to make the EU more of an inter-governmental organisation, perhaps by removing the power of the Commission to initiate legislation and giving it to the Council. Scrapping moves for a European Defence Force. Forcing through further liberalisation measures. And continuing our successful resistance of the euro.
We do have to try. Ask me the same question after four years of a Conservative government.
Andrew Woodman: "If he's going to sign up to support www.ReinstateRoger.com?"
Edward: "Should we pay more tax to improve public services?"
No. The recent increases in spending – which the Conservatives would not reverse – in education and health have not had the impact that they should have. The agenda now must be on reform to increase choice and competition within public services in order to raise standards. That is why it was so important to support Blair's education bill. In doing so, the Conservatives signalled that there is a new consensus between those that favour reform that crosses party boundaries. I would expect the Blairites to support reform measures initiated by the next Conservative government, which will make reality what has so far largely been empty rhetoric from Tony Blair.
johnC: "Which of the following should be reversed by a future Conservative Government...
a) Student Tuition Fees
No, but there will obviously have to be reform. I would for example, abolish the access regulator, which was part of the deal with the Left to get tuition fees through.
b) Abolition of upper earnings limit for employee NICs
Above my pay grade – ask George Osborne.
c) Ban on hunting
I would certainly vote to repeal the hunting ban, and trust that we will maintain our pledge for a Government Bill in Government time to give MPs the opportunity to reverse the ban.
d) Abolition of married couple's tax allowance
As someone who recently got married and didn't rely on a tax break I see no need to restore the Married Couples' Allowance. I do not generally support tax breaks which tend to distort the tax system, but I would be open to a tax break for couples who have children.
e) Nationalisation of Railtrack
See (b), though I agree that the extension of Government control over the railways has made it far harder for them to take forward the benefits of privatisation.
f) Devolution to Scotland and Wales
No. Obviously, we have to address the West Lothian question, and I would expect measures to ensure that Scottish MPs cannot vote on measures that affect only England and Wales.
g) Abolition of dividend tax credits for pension funds and charities
See (b). We urgently need to reform the state pension system, and I have always supported Peter Lilley's proposal for Basic Pension Plus. We need to make saving for a pension much easier and more straightforward. A pension is simply a long-term savings plan, but the system is ridiculously complicated.
h) Abolition of Grant Maintained schools
I think we are seeing their return through the Government's proposal for trust schools. I am a huge fan of grant-maintained schools, many of which I visited in the early 90s, and would certainly support their re-introduction.
i) Abolition of Assisted Places Scheme
I would certainly support its reintroduction. Its abolition has widened the gap between independent schools and state schools, the former becoming I think more exclusive. I have no idea whether this will be Conservative policy, so this a personal view.
j) Expulsion of hereditary peers from the House of Lords
No. I favour an elected House of Lords, and I think the time has come for a written constitution. I come from the school "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Unfortunately, Labour has broken it.
k) Detention without trial for 28 days?"
I think this is a compromise which was hard fought for. While I remain uncomfortable with it, it is far better than 90 days.
Selsdon Man: "Should the Priority List selection process be extended to include current Conservative seats, i.e. reselections, to increase the number of women and ethnic MPs? If not, why?"
I am not sure what this question is aiming at. If you are suggesting that if a Conservative MP is deselected (e.g Surrey Heath before the last election) then I see no reason why such a vacancy should not be subject to the priority list. All Conservative MPs, as far as I am aware are subject to formal reselection, but I would not support a full, open reselection process in every seat as a matter of course. That would be a recipe for chaos.
Jonathan Sheppard: "What is he most proud of achieving in his short time as an MP?"
Helping my constituents. I know that probably sounds a bit sugary, but it's true. My work in my constituency is hugely satisfying, and being able to help individuals who have been messed about by Government bureaucracy, such as by tax credits, is great, as you know you have made a real and tangible difference to their lives.
Frank Young: "It's often said that when Blair repealed clause four the electorate realised the Labour party had changed. In reality these things are a rolling process. When will voters know that the Conservative party has changed?"
I was an advocate of all-women short lists as a signal of change, which made me wildly unpopular. I think we will really have begun to show that we have changed when we present a united front to the electorate. There is still a tendency for Conservatives to criticise each other, or to present themselves as the keepers of the "true" Conservative flame. Once we realise we are all on the same side, we will be formidable.
Henry Whitmarsh: "Who would you rather see as leader of Labour at the next election, Tony Blair or Gordon Brown?"
Gordon Brown. I do not underestimate him in any way, but I think that he is failing his current test to present himself as a future prime minister. His Budget was a flop, and I think the electorate will not feel comfortable with his leadership.
Stephen Alley: "My question would be: Boxers or briefs? The nation MUST know."
I wear both – although I know this will open me up to the charge of political cross-dressing!

Former Malaysian PM arrested for corruption
By Nick McKenzie
July 3, 2018 — 6.16pm
Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak was arrested by anti-corruption investigators on Tuesday afternoon in a development likely to lead to the former leader's charging with corruption offences.
A source with knowledge of the inquiry into Najib said that investigators had arranged for the former PM to hand himself into the anti-corruption agency on Tuesday.
Last month, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said authorities were seeking to bring embezzlement and bribery charges against Najib after an inquiry into the suspected theft of billions of dollars from the state-run fund 1MDB.
US Department of Justice civil lawsuits are seeking to seize $US1.7 billion in real estate, art works and other luxuries allegedly bought with money looted from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) state fund, over which Najib exercised significant control.
Mahathir, 92, defied expectations to unseat Najib in Malaysia's recent election.
After his election defeat, Najib stepped down as chairman of Barisan Nasional, the coalition that has ruled the country since independence from Britain in 1957, and as president of the United Malays National Organisation, the largest party within that coalition.
Malaysia's Immigration Department also slapped a travel ban on the scandal-ridden former prime minister and his wife Rosmah Mansor.

The ban on Najib and his wife leaving the country came shortly after he announced plans for a short holiday. A leaked flight manifesto showed Najib and Rosmah were due to leave on a private jet to Jakarta, fuelling rumours he was fleeing the country to escape possible prosecution over the 1MDB scandal.
Mahathir, now the world's oldest elected leader at 92, has said his government would not seek revenge over the 1MDB fiasco, but that Najib would have to face the court if he was found to be responsible.
The fund was started by Najib when he took power in 2009, but it accumulated billions in debts and is being investigated in the US and several other countries. US investigators said Najib's associates looted $US4.5 billion from the fund, of which $US681 million landed in Najib's bank account and some $US30 million used to buy jewellery for his wife.
Najib denies any wrongdoing. He sacked critics in his government including an attorney-general and a deputy prime minister and muzzled the media. The new Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali cleared Najib in 2016, saying the money was a donation from the Saudi royal family and that most of it was returned.
Mahathir, who is due to name his cabinet later on Saturday, has indicated that Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi would be axed for hiding evidence of wrongdoing.

Marijuana investor Privateer raises $40 million on eve of U.S. elections
Marijuana private equity investor Privateer Holdings has raised $40 million in convertible debt ahead of next week's elections, with pot legalization on the ballot in nine U.S. states.
Several investors rushed to place their funds, while others held back to wait for the election results.
Of the nine states that will vote on Tuesday on legalizing medical or recreational marijuana, California ranks as the most important.
The most populous U.S. state is considering allowing recreational adult use.
If the measure passes, it is expected to legitimize part of a multi-billion-dollar black market and open new opportunities for companies ranging from software to pot delivery.
Financial services firm Cowen and Co forecasts a $50 billion U.S. market in a decade, up from $6 billion in legal sales today.
U.S. law prohibits marijuana but federal agencies so far have limited their enforcement effort for companies which follow local laws in states that have legalized pot.
Seattle-based Privateer is one of several funds and investment companies targeting marijuana businesses. It said investors were divided on when to make their moves.
"Most of the potential lead investors wanted to wait until after next Tuesday to invest," Chief Executive Brendan Kennedy said in an interview.
Others were ready to invest, but it was difficult to agree on how to value Privateer, with the outcome of the state votes unclear. The presidential race was a secondary issue, he added.
"This is a way to sort of take capital from investors without having to negotiate the price," he said. Privateer hopes to raise $100 million in the next round, including the notes.
The valuation of the company will be set when the round closes, and convertible note holders will get a 15 percent discount when they get equity in Privateer, he said.
The company plans to put more than half of the round in companies outside the United States, including Canada and potentially Australia, he said.

Opponents Step up Protest against Osprey Helipad Plan on Okinawa

Associated Press | By Mari Yamaguchi
TOKYO — Opponents of planned U.S. helipads on Japan's southern island of Okinawa have stepped up protests in Tokyo after the central government used military aircraft to transport equipment for the project.
The U.S. Marine Corps helipads are to be used by MV-22 Osprey aircraft, which are widely opposed on Okinawa because of concerns that the tilt-rotor hybrid aircraft might be prone to crashes. In exchange for the helipads, the U.S. military has pledged to return part of a jungle training base to civilian use.
The project has been stalled for years because of protests and environmental concerns after two of the six planned helipads were built in Takae, a small village with 150 residents next to a rich forest in northern Okinawa designated a national park.
The controversy resurfaced recently when Japan's government tried to resume construction of the helipads after the relocation of a higher-profile Marine air station also was stalled. After 20 years of delays, preparation for reclamation work at Air Station Futenma's new site, Henoko, began earlier this year but was halted by a legal battle between the central government and Okinawa.
Opposition lawmakers and activists on Thursday accused Japan's government of discriminating against Okinawa by deploying riot police and military from mainland Japan.
The group summoned five defense officials and demanded an explanation of the use of Japanese military aircraft to circumvent the protests.
"It's so unruly," opposition lawmaker Mizuho Fukushima said at the meeting, referring to the way the central government has handled the situation.
The protest escalated after the Defense Ministry used two CH-47 helicopters this week to transport dump trucks and other construction equipment for the helipads, saying they could not otherwise get to the site because of protesters' barricades.
Opponents suspect Japan wants to showcase progress ahead of a visit by Defense Minister Tomomi Inada to Washington, D.C., starting Thursday.
Hundreds of riot police have been brought in from outside Okinawa since mid-July and have forcibly removed opponents' tents and barricades and clashed with protesters and residents, resulting in some injuries and arrests.
Okinawa, which was an independent kingdom until its 1879 annexation by Japan, has faced discrimination by the central government and mainland Japanese, many residents say. The island was occupied by the U.S. for nearly 30 years after Japan's World War II defeat, and still hosts half of the 50,000 American troops stationed in Japan under a bilateral security treaty.
Many Okinawans complain about noise, pollution and crime linked to the U.S. military bases and want the island's burden reduced. Okinawans have demanded that the stalled Marine air station, Futenma, be completely removed from the island instead of being relocated to another area.
"It's been 71 years since the war ended and America is still occupying large parts of Okinawa, freely roaming around Okinawa's skies and waters," Okinawan-born lawmaker Keiko Itokazu said Wednesday. "Okinawa is not treated as an equal of the rest of Japan."

Information processing in up-to-date informatics is usually characterized by these or other parameters . Quantitative parameters traditionally for the theory of information characterize the quantity of information. In real applications barely quantitative characteristics of information are insufficient, so up-to-date theory also uses qualitative parameters of information – both generalized (value, complexity, authenticity, etc.) and concrete (situational, normative, temporary, etc.). The number of parameters required and sufficient for information processing, which depends on the purposes of the processing and, consequently, on functional orientation (purpose) of the processor is called «dimension» and is usually characterized by a number of co-ordinates forming a sort of conditional «space» in which this processor functions .
