MALE, Maldives (AP) — Opposition candidate Mohamed Muiz appeared to be headed for a win in the Maldives presidential runoff on Saturday, securing more than 53% of the vote after almost all the ballots were counted, local media reported.The election has turned into a virtual referendum on which regional power — India or China — will have the biggest influence in the Indian Ocean archipelago nation.Mihaaru News reported that incumbent President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih had received 46% of the vote and Muiz was leading by 17,000 votes, with only 11,000 votes still to be counted.

It didn’t specify a timeline for when its own software fix would be issued but said no safety issues should prevent iPhone 15 owners from using their devices while awaiting the update.“We have identified a few co...

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 04:32:03 GMT

(NewsNation) – Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man now charged with murder in the death of Tupac Shakur, admitted in a 2019 memoir and in media interviews that he was in the car from which gunfire erupted during the drive-by in Las Vegas that killed Shakur 27 years ago. Greg Kading, a retired Los Angeles police detective who spent years investigating the killing, believes Davis has “talked himself straight into prison.”"The strength of this prosecution lies solely on the confession that Keefe D has made since 2009," Kading said during Friday's edition of "Banfield" on NewsNation.Davis has long been known to investigators as one of four suspects identified early in the investigation into the 1996 killing. Davis isn’t the accused gunman, but was described as the group’s ringleader by authorities Friday at a news conference and in court. In Nevada, a suspect can be charged with a crime, including murder, if they help someone commit the crime.“Duane Davis was the shot-caller for this group o...

Pandemic hangover forces used car shoppers to buy much older cars

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 04:32:03 GMT

(iSeeCars) -- A combination of restricted used car supply and inflation has forced buyers into much older used cars over the past 4 years. Buyers with a $23,000 budget could purchase a 3-year-old car in 2019, but that same amount is not enough for an average 6-year-old used car today. The reduced production of new cars in 2020, 2021, and 2022 is now reflected in limited used car availability and dramatically higher prices.iSeeCars.com analyzed over 21 million used cars sold in 2019 and 2023 and found that the average age of used cars sold increased from 4.8 years to 6.1 years, while the average price across all ages increased from $20,398 to $27,133.Summary: Today’s late-model used car shoppers have to buy cars more than twice as old as what the same money bought them in 2019$23,000 Bought a 3-year-old used car in 2019, but today $23,000 won’t even buy a 6-year-old car Limited production of new cars in 2020-2022 is reflected in the scarce availability of 1- to 3-year-old u...
