Operations to rescue hundreds of illegal miners at an abandoned gold mine in Stilfontein, a small mining town about 100 miles Southwest of Johannesburg, started Monday and ended Thursday when rescuers said there was no longer anyone left in the shaft.

In total during the rescue operation, 246 illegal gold miners were brought to the surface alive. Seventy-eight more were brought up dead.

TikTok Says It's Restoring Service To U.S. Users Based On Trump's Promised Executive Order

Tik Tok back for nowTikTok said Sunday it was restoring service to users in the United States just hours after the popular video-sharing platform went dark in response to a federal ban, which President-elect Donald Trump said he would try to pause by executive order on his first day in office.

Trump said he planned to issue the order to give TikTok’s China-based parent company more time to find an approved buyer before the ban takes full effect. He announced the move on his Truth Social account as millions of U.S. TikTok users awoke to discover they could no longer access the TikTok app or platform.

When users tried to open the app around 10:35 p.m. ET, a message appeared: "Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now," it read. "A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now."

Jennifer Rubin resigns from Washington Post

Jennifer RubinJennifer Rubin has resigned from her position as a columnist at The Washington Post amid a period of internal strife at the outlet to begin the new year.

Rubin, who has been a columnist at the Post since 2010, is starting a new media venture with attorney and pundit Norm Eisen, she said Monday.

“We’ve watched as corporate and billionaire owners of media outlets abused their audiences’ loyalty and undercut journalism’s vital role in a free democracy,” Rubin said in a statement. “Instead of safeguarding democratic values, they have enabled the gravest threats to democracy – Donald Trump and his allies – at the very time when a robust and independent press is most essential. We need an alternative, truly independent outlet that is unafraid of the administration and unwilling to equivocate or bend the knee.”

Chuck Todd to leave NBC

Chuck Todd, NBC News’ chief political analyst and former longtime host of “Meet the Press,” has “quietly” informed other news outlets that he plans to depart the network this year, Semafor reported Sunday.

Todd has discussed possible gigs with top editors from competitors in broadcast and digital platforms, according to the outlet.

In March, Todd spoke for several colleagues at NBC in pointing out “credibility issues” surrounding the hiring of former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel.

FOX News headed fornew trial

Quaker group pulls NYT ad over paper’s refusal to let it call Israel’s Gaza bombing ‘genocide’

Quaker group pulls NYT ad

The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker organization that advocates for peace, said on Monday the group cancelled a planned advertisement in the New York Times in response to the paper refusing to allow it to refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.

“The refusal of The New York Times to run paid digital ads that call for an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza is an outrageous attempt to sidestep the truth,” said Joyce Ajlouny, general secretary for the AFSC, in a press release. “Palestinians and allies have been silenced and marginalized in the media for decades as these institutions choose silence over accountability. It is only by challenging this reality that we can hope to forge a path toward a more just and equitable world.”

The group claimed a representative with the advertising team at the New York Times suggested they use the word “war” instead of “genocide”.
