CNN —Manchester United is on the brink of an early Champions League exit after twice throwing away a two-goal lead in a chaotic 3-3 draw with Galatasaray. In the Champions League, you get punished for your mistakes, so we have to learn from that.” Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag to TNT Sports after his team's 3-3 draw to Galatasaray on November 29. United has now conceded 14 goals in just five Champions League group matches, the most by an English club after five games in the competition’s history, according to Opta. Bayern had already qualified for the knockout stages ahead of the team’s 0-0 draw with Copenhagen on Tuesday. The team’s only chance of reaching the Champions League knockout stages is to beat Bayern Munich at Old Trafford in the final group game and hope that Copenhagen and Galatasaray draw.

"This is bullying," Santos said at a news conference outside the Capitol. His fellow Republicans have scheduled a vote on his expulsion on Friday. Santos survived one expulsion vote earlier this month, but faces longer odds this time. Santos declined to comment on that report, but said he was not wearing anything purchased with campaign funds. Santos predicted he would be forced out in Friday's vote and said he was proud of his record in Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on Friday on whether to expel scandal-plagued Republican George Santos, who faces criminal corruption charges and new accusations that he misspent campaign money, according to Republican aides. The motion requires a two-thirds majority in the House, which Republicans control by a narrow 222-213 majority. Santos' district, which includes a small slice of New York City and some of its eastern suburbs, is seen as competitive. The bipartisan Ethics Committee on Nov. 16 released a report on allegations that Santos committed campaign finance fraud. A vote on Nov. 1 to expel Santos failed because Republicans need Santos' seat to protect their narrow House majority, which empowers them to block much of Democratic President Joe Biden's legislative agenda.

George Santos (R-NY) is seen the morning after two Democratic lawmakers moved to force a vote to expel Santos from the House of Representatives, on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., November 29, 2023. The motion requires a two-thirds majority in the House, which Republicans control by a narrow 222-213 majority. Republicans are divided on whether to expel Santos because he has not been convicted of a crime, the speaker said.

Escalating a months-long investigation across three congressional committees, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives launched an impeachment inquiry into Biden in September, which focuses on Hunter Biden's business dealings. House Republicans allege Biden and his family improperly traded access to Biden's office as vice president in President Barack Obama's administration. Comer said in a statement that the subpoena required Hunter Biden to appear for a deposition on Dec. 13, but added that he should also have a chance to testify publicly at another time. "Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. Special Counsel David Weiss brought those charges against Hunter Biden after an earlier proposed plea deal unraveled under questioning from a judge.

Shein has not determined the size of its offering or the valuation at IPO, the sources said. Shein, Goldman and JPMorgan declined to comment, while Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The most valuable China-founded enterprise to go public in the United States so far is ride-hailing giant Didi Global's (92Sy.MU) debut in 2021 at $68 billion valuation. In 2021, the comparable number was $300 billion when the IPO market was close to its peak. Fast fashion retailers have been gaining popularity in the United States, with Shein taking away market share from the likes of Gap (GPS.N) as shoppers look for fresher styles.

U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-NY) leaves the Capitol after a series of votes, in Washington, U.S., November 15, 2023. The motion requires a two-thirds majority in the House, which Republicans control by a narrow 221-213 majority. Democrats Robert Garcia and Dan Goldman, the lawmakers who filed Tuesday's resolution, introduced resolutions to expel Santos earlier this year that were referred to the House of Representatives Ethics Committee. Santos survived a vote to oust him on Nov. 1, but on Nov. 16, following a scathing report by the Republican-majority Ethics Committee, its chairman, Michael Guest, filed his own motion to expel Santos. If expelled, Santos would be only the sixth lawmaker to be ousted by a vote of the House.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington found that Trump "has not sufficiently justified his requests" for information tied to the Democratic-led House of Representatives probe, which concluded in 2022. Trump sought to subpoena materials that his lawyers said were "missing" from the House investigation, including transcripts and video recordings of interviews with law enforcement officials. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges that he illegally sought to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election. Trump’s Twitter account was suspended following the 2021 riot at the Capitol by his supporters. Prosecutors convinced a judge to bar Twitter from informing Trump about the warrant, a move the company opposed.

Under the new terms offered by Brookfield, the A$9.43 per share bid remains but some investors can stay invested in the energy markets business that would be owned by Brookfield. Brookfield's consortium partner EIG Partners would take on Origin's integrated gas business which includes the 27.5% stake in Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG). If that bid fails to achieve 75% shareholder support, an alternative proposal has been lodged that would see Origin sell the energy markets business to Brookfield for A$12.3 billion. When asked during a press conference if he had reservations about the revised deal, Chairman Scott Perkins said: "absolutely". DONE TALKINGFollowing the announcement of the revised offer, EIG CEO Blair Thomas told Reuters that he was done talking to AustralianSuper.

Origin said based on the early votes received the original offer would not have won support. Under the new terms, the A$9.43 per share bid remains but some investors can stay invested in the energy markets business that would be owned by Brookfield. If that bid fails to achieve 75% shareholder support, an alternative proposal has been lodged that would see Origin sell the energy markets business to Brookfield for A$12.3 billion ($8 billion). Origin shareholders would receive a total of A$9.08 per share, with an additional A$0.22 if EIG got up to 90.1% control of Origin. Institutional investors who have already voted on the A$9.43 offer can choose to change or keep their vote, or opt to invest in the energy markets business.

The energy company's shares closed on Wednesday at A$8.42, up 1.69%, but well below the offer price of A$9.43 per share.

The A$300 billion ($195.24 billion) pension fund was against the original offer, which it also said substantially undervalued the company's ability to profit from Australia's shift to renewable energy.

Israeli bombardments since have flattened large swaths of Hamas-led Gaza and killed 13,300 civilians, according to authorities in Gaza. Under terms of the deal, Hamas is to release 50 hostages and Israel will release 150 Palestinian prisoners during a four- to five-day pause in the fighting. The hostage group will include two American women and an American girl named Abigail who will turn four on Friday, the official said. The deal will also include more deliveries of humanitarian relief aid to Gaza, the official said. A rigorous inspection regime will ensure Hamas does not use the pause to rearm the group's fighters in Gaza with weaponry, the official said.

SYDNEY, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Australasian pharmaceutical distributor EBOS Group (EBO.NZ) has shelved a A$3.75 billion ($2.4 billion) deal to buy Australian vet chain Greencross, sending its shares down 7% during early trade on Wednesday. EBOS was due to pay A$3.75 billion to acquire Greencross, and was set to raise about A$2 billion as early as Wednesday, said one of the sources who could not be named discussing confidential information. The capital raising and associated buyout was put on hold because of weaker than expected demand from EBOS investors, the second source said. TPG and Greencross did not immediately respond to a request for comment. U.S. private equity TPG bought Greencross in 2019 and delisted it from the ASX in a deal worth A$669 million.

Prosecutors in Atlanta will ask a judge on Tuesday to revoke the bond of Harrison Floyd, who was indicted along with former President Donald J. Trump in the Georgia election interference case. The district attorney overseeing the case filed a motion last week accusing Mr. Floyd of intimidating potential witnesses through his social media posts. Mr. Floyd’s lawyers argued in a new filing that the posts were not intimidating. Moreover, they noted that Mr. Trump himself had issued provocative social media posts about the case, and that no action had been taken against him. The indictment charges Mr. Trump and his co-defendants with orchestrating a “criminal enterprise” to reverse the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett walks through the exhibit hall as shareholders gather to hear from the billionaire investor at Berkshire Hathaway Inc's annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S., May 4, 2019. In a regulatory filing, Berkshire said Buffett donated 1.5 million Class B shares of Berkshire to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation. The donations supplement the $759 million of Berkshire stock that Buffett donated to the charities at this time last year, also just before the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday. Greg Abel, 61, a Berkshire vice chairman, is slated to succeed Buffett as Berkshire's CEO, while Howard Buffett would become non-executive chairman. The Howard G.

CNN —The judge overseeing the Fulton County election racketeering case declined Tuesday to send one of Donald Trump’s co-defendants to jail over recent social media posts and other comments he made targeting witnesses. He does not get an ‘oh, I’m sorry,’ after I’ve already intimidated the witnesses in this case,” Willis said. The felonies Floyd faces in the case are largely tied to his role in an intimidation campaign targeting two Atlanta election workers in late 2020. The leader of Black Voices for Trump, Floyd was separately charged in May with simple assault of a federal officer who was delivering a subpoena to him to testify before a grand jury in Washington, DC. He said that Floyd’s posts about Freeman have led to a “spike” in online activity targeting Freeman.
