Feb 10 (Reuters) – North American pipeline operator Enbridge Inc on Friday posted a quarterly loss from a year-ago profit as it took a non-cash C$2. If you have any kind of inquiries concerning where and exactly how to make use of EVden EVe NAkliYAT, evdEN eve NAkliyat you can call us at our own webpage. 5 billion ($1.86 billion) hit from higher cost of capital related to its natural gas transmission business.

U.S.refinery outages, a global glut of high sulphur fuel oil and evdEn eVe NAKLiYaT the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases of heavy sour barrels weakened demand for Western Canada Select crude in the fourth quarter.

Enbridge, a leading transporter of crude oil and natural gas, delivered 3.1 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) on its Mainline system, slightly higher than the 3 million bpd delivered a year ago.

The Calgary-based company lost C$1.07 billion, or EvDEN EVE NaKLiYaT 53 Canadian cents, in the fourth quarter, compared with a profit of C$1.84 billion, or 91 Canadian cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.

Gas transmission projects account for eVdEN eVe NaKliYaT just over half of Enbridge’s C$18-billion, multi-year capital program.Chief Executive Greg Ebel told analysts that Enbridge is in good position to manage inflation because the timing of its projects is staggered.

On an adjusted basis, Enbridge earned 63 Canadian cents per share, missing analysts’ average expectation of 73 Canadian cents, according to Refinitiv data.The company cited rising interest rates in its lower adjusted earnings.

Enbridge shares rose 0.5% in Toronto.

Enbridge is in “constructive” negotiations with oil shippers on a new basis to charge for space on its Mainline, Ebel said, after the Canada Energy Regulator rejected in 2021 Enbridge’s plan to sell nearly all of its space under long-term contract.

Enbridge currently rations Mainline space monthly and faces new competition when the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion wraps up late this year.

The Mainline is Canada’s longest oil pipeline, moving crude from Western Canada to refineries in Eastern Canada and the U.S.Midwest. ($1 = 1.3447 Canadian dollars) (Reporting by Arshreet Singh and Rod Nickel; Editing by Devika Syamnath and Marguerita Choy)

Housing storm leaves UK exposed, skews policy: Mike Dolan https://www.announcement.news/housing-storm-leaves-uk-exposed-skews-policy-mike-dolan-9/ https://www.announcement.news/housing-storm-leaves-uk-exposed-skews-policy-mike-dolan-9/#respond Mon, 15 May 2023 15:03:56 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=72145 By Mike Dolan

LONDON, Nov 16 (Reuters) – If financial markets bore the brunt of this year’s interest rate shock, housing now stands in the firing line.

And a residential real estate quake would hurt many economies far more, amplifying the bond market ructions of the past 12 months if inflation can’t be contained quickly enough to allow central banks to stop tightening in 2023.

Overall housing activity – construction, sales and the related demand for goods and services that goes with housing churn – contributes an estimated 16-18% of gross domestic product annually in the United States and Britain. That’s well over $4 trillion for the former and half a trillion in the UK.

With long-term U.S.fixed mortgage rates above 7% for the first time in 20 years, and more than double January rates, U.S. housing sales and starts are already feeling the heat.

And as property has ridden the bond bull market of low inflation and EVDEN evE NaKliyAT interest rates for much those intervening decades – the sub-prime mortgage crash of 2007-2008 apart – any risk of a paradigm shift in that whole picture is a mega concern.

Twenty years ago, after the dot.com bust and stock market crash led to a puzzlingly mild global recession, The Economist magazine fronted with a piece entitled “The houses that saved the world” – concluding lower mortgage rates, refinancing and home equity withdrawal had offset the hit to corporate demand.

But it’s much less likely to come to the rescue after this year’s stock market swoon, if only because interest rates are heading even higher into 2023 and many now fret about potential distress and delinquency in the sector next year.

Some 10% of global fund managers polled by Bank of America this month think real estate in developed economies is the most likely source of another systemic credit event going forward.

And Britain, which even the Bank of England assumes has already entered recession, is particularly vulnerable.

UK homeowners outsize exposure to floating rate mortgages and greater vulnerability to rising unemployment leaves the British market a potential outlier amid the twin hits of rising Bank of England rates and this week’s expected fiscal squeeze.

Indeed, many feel the extent of finance minister Jeremy Hunt’s dramatic fiscal U-turn away from September’s botched giveaway budget is precisely to avoid the sort of brutal BoE rate hit to the housing market that had threatened initially.

British think-tank the National Institute of Economic and Social Research reckons some 2. When you loved this informative article and you would want to receive more information with regards to evDEn evE NaKliYat generously visit the webpage. 5 million UK households on variable rate mortgages – about 10% of the total – would be hit hard by further BoE rate rises next year, pushing mortgage costs for about 30,000 beyond monthly incomes if rates hit 5%.

That partly explains why even though money markets still see BoE rates peaking as high as 4.5%, from 3% at present, high-street clearing banks Barclays and HSBC forecast the central bank’s terminal rate as low as 3.5% and 3.75% respectively.

NO HOUSING SAVIOUR

Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius and team feel the threat of a major EvdEn Eve NaKLiyaT credit event in developed housing markets may be overstated – as many mortgage holders are still on low, long-term fixed deals and there are substantial home equity buffers.

But they said Britain stands out nonetheless.

“We see a relatively greater risk of a meaningful rise in mortgage delinquency rates in the UK,” Goldman said this month.”This reflects the shorter duration of UK mortgages, our more negative economic outlook, and the greater sensitivity of default rates to downturns.”

While Australia and New Zealand have higher variable mortgage rates, British mortgage holders also have a higher vulnerability to rising joblessness.

Goldman estimates that a one percentage point rise in unemployment tends to boost mortgage delinquency rates by more than 20 basis points after one year in Britain – twice as much as the 10bp impact from a similar scenario in the United States.

All of which bodes ill for UK house prices – although forecasts are still far from apocalyptic.

UK estate agent Knight Frank expects nationwide house prices to drop 5% next year and again in 2024, a cumulative decline of almost 10% but one that only takes average prices back to where they were in the middle of 2021.Further out they see stagnation persisting – with just a 1.5% cumulative gain in the five years to 2026 and EvdEN eve NakLiYat London prices basically flat over all that period.

NIESR economist Urvish Patel concurred with the thrust of that – expecting lower house prices over the next couple of years but adding “fears of a house price and housing market collapse because of higher mortgage rates are unlikely to be proved correct”.

Offsetting factors are that a majority will be on fixed rates, supply remains tight and stamp duty taxes are due to be cut again, he said.

But he did point to Bank of England research from 2019 that studied more than 30 years of data and showed that a 1% sustained increase in index-linked UK government bond yields could ultimately result in a fall in real house prices of just under 20%.

Ominously perhaps, 10- and 30-year index-linked gilt yields were at the epicentre of the September budget shock.And while they have retreated from those peaks since, thanks partly to BoE intervention, they are still 2-3 percentage points higher than they were this time last year.

SHAUN EDWARDS: Rugby needs the Six Nations to lift the doom and gloom https://www.announcement.news/shaun-edwards-rugby-needs-the-six-nations-to-lift-the-doom-and-gloom-9/ https://www.announcement.news/shaun-edwards-rugby-needs-the-six-nations-to-lift-the-doom-and-gloom-9/#respond Mon, 15 May 2023 06:40:37 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=72072

A lot of people are knocking rugby at the moment and it has irritated me a bit.Hopefully, the can really change the mood. It’s great to be involved again. I love it every year.

It’s been a difficult time for the sport lately, but it has given me so much in my life.It’s given me an identity and it’s given me a purpose. So I’ve had enough of the doom and gloom around the game. Nothing is perfect, but I want to send a message out that there are a lot of good things in rugby and a lot of great people.

You don’t meet many people in rugby who you don’t like and the sport has so many positives as well as these negative things that there has been a lot of coverage about.

France will go back to basics in their defence of the Six Nations title this year

Now the Six Nations is back and it excites me as much as ever.What a competition, it’s fabulous.

After Christmas, everyone’s a bit miserable in January, so the Six Nations is something to really look forward to at this time of year.I used to think that even back when I was playing rugby league. It’s a fantastic, national event where every game is more or less a derby. And it’s the competition I’ve always judged myself on because teams get exactly the same preparation time.

This year, it looks wide open. The teams are well-matched and all of world rugby is like that at the moment, with very, very close scores.It’s marvellous for the international game.

With France, EvdeN Eve NAKliyAT we’re trying to defend the title and we have to think like we’re back to square one. We have to go back to the basics of our game and make sure they are right, all over again.

The Six Nations looks wide open this year and there will be no easy matches

You’ve got to remember that some of our guys will have played eight or nine matches for their club since we last played together against Japan in November.They have come back in after months of all playing in different systems, for different coaches. It takes time to gel again, so it’s important to go back to the basics of your scrum, lineout, kick-offs and all those key parts of the game.

We have some injuries but I’m confident we will cope.

Fabien Galthie put down a challenge to the backs last week in training. He said: ‘OK, who’s going to replace Jonathan Danty? Who’s going to replace Gabin Villiere?’ Those two guys aren’t just important to our attack, but amazing defensive players, too. It was good to see the way the players reacted in the session after Fabien had challenged them.

They tried to play with the same sort of intensity as those fantastic players who are missing with injury.

Of course, as the defending champions we have a target on our heads now, but that’s something we have to get used to if we want to be at the top.I think this is the first time in history that the teams ranked No 1 and No 2 in the world have been in the Six Nations. That’s fantastic.

Ireland are No 1 at the moment and we are No 2. How much you pay attention to the rankings is your decision but it’s great for the fans.I’ve been lucky enough to be ranked No 1 for a week with Wales and EVdeN EvE nAKLiyAt for two weeks with France, but we all know South Africa are the world champions and that’s what really matters.

France will be wary of England as a lot of players have never won a Test at Twickeham

We’ve got Italy first up in Rome.

They won in Cardiff at the end of the last Six Nations, then beat Australia in the autumn which was a famous win for them. In their next game against South Africa, for 50 minutes they were in a tight contest with the world champions, so we have to take Italy very seriously.

It looks like they will be competitive and dangerous.

Next, we’re playing the team ranked No 1 in the world on their own patch in Dublin. Everyone knows that Andy Farrell, Mike Catt and the other coaches there have transformed Ireland into one of the best teams to watch, and their performance stats are off the charts.

They are an incredible attacking force and their defence is absolutely fantastic, too.I think they conceded the fewest points on average in the world last year. So they have great defence aligned with a fantastic attacking game, and they’ve also got steel. Ireland are not the biggest team, but they’re very fit, incredibly mobile and play for the full 80 minutes.

We also have to go to Twickenham and that will be a huge challenge for this French team.I rate Steve Borthwick highly as a coach and England are always very competitive. In all the time I’ve been involved in international rugby, there’s never been an easy match against England.

Coach Andy Farrell has transformed Ireland into one of the best teams to watch

That will continue and a lot of our players have never won a Test at Twickenham.That’ll be my message to them that day.

My old boss, Warren Gatland, is back in charge of Wales and they start at home against Ireland, which is going to be a rip-roaring game. Whoever wins is going to get momentum. If you have any inquiries pertaining to where and how you can make use of Evden eVE nAKLiYat, you could contact us at our internet site. Gats would always say: ‘If we get early momentum in the competition, we can win it.’ And the whole of Wales would get behind them.

I tell the French guys: ‘Forget the Wales you see on the summer tour and in the autumn. The Six Nations is what the emphasis is on in Wales and the whole country comes alive for it.So you have to be ready for a war against them.’

They’re going to be our last match, evdEN eVe nakliyat it’s in Paris, and eVDEN eVe NAkLiyat I know that’s going to be some game.

 

Stats must support change

In the build-up to this Six Nations, there’s been a lot of talk about lowering the legal tackle height.For me, it’s all about having the data to support what they are doing, like there was for the scrum changes.

We all think scrums go on too long, but there aren’t so many guys having neck or back surgery after they retire, like in the old days.There are statistics to say that what they’ve done has made a huge improvement to the health of the players involved in scrums. If we can have statistics to show that the lower tackle will have a similar impact in making the game safer, then obviously we’ll all get behind it.

As a defence coach, one thing I will say is that it’s very difficult to practise lower tackling without players being injured — either the carrier who falls on to his ankles, or the tackler who might get a whack on his head from a knee. 

So we have to think long and hard about how we can safely practise lower tackles, if that’s the way the game is going.

Laura Whitmore steps out after receiving an ASA ban https://www.announcement.news/laura-whitmore-steps-out-after-receiving-an-asa-ban-14/ https://www.announcement.news/laura-whitmore-steps-out-after-receiving-an-asa-ban-14/#respond Sun, 14 May 2023 21:56:06 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=71994  put on a glamourous display for the Lulu Guinness Valentine’s Dinner at Home House in London.

The Tuesday outing was her first since her Muff Liquor advert was banned by the ASA for ‘targeting minors and encouraging irresponsible drinking’

Despite the backlash, the presenter, 37, sported a black velvet trouser suit paired with a striking patterned shirt which had red lips on it by Lulu Guinness.

She carried an embroidered bird cage bag by the label as she posed for pictures. 

Laura wore her blonde locks in loose waves, opting for a slick of ruby red lipstick.

The star, who is married to Love Island’s voiceover star Iain Stirling, 34, and eVDen eVE nAKLiYAt shares a 23-month-old daughter with him. 

Letting her hair down: Laura Whitmore attended Lulu Guinness’ Valentine’s event  at Home House on Tuesday after her Muff Liquor advert was banned by the ASA for ‘targeting minors and encouraging irresponsible drinking’ 

Backlash: The ASA said that Laura’s posts were not clearly marked as adverts and implied that alcohol can increase confidence 

Her trip out comes and implied that alcohol can increase confidence.

The videos – released in July – featured Whitmore drinking peppermint tea, and EvdEn EVE naKLiyat then water, beer and ‘Muff & tonic’, while her dancing became increasingly energetic.

Music in the background included the lyrics: ‘I’ll be f***ed up if you can’t be right here.’

Text on screen stated ‘#MakemineaMuff’ and ‘If drinks were dance moves @muffliquorco #makemineamuff #muffboss #irishowned’.

A complainant, who understood that Whitmore was an investor in The Muff Liquor Company, challenged whether the ads were obviously identifiable as marketing communications and were inappropriately targeted because they featured alcoholic drinks.

Whitmore argued that the hashtag ‘muffboss’ was used to declare her shareholder status and believed that ‘#ad’ would not have been a suitable disclaimer because she was not paid by The Muff Liquor Company for Evden EvE NaKliYaT the posts.

However, the ASA ruled that the posts should have been clearly marked as ads.

The ASA also investigated whether the ads encouraged irresponsible drinking because they implied that alcohol could enhance confidence and was capable of changing mood.

Moving on: Despite the controversy, Laura put on a glamourous display for the Lulu Guinness dinner

The ASA noted that Whitmore was the former presenter of Love Island – the fifth most-watched programme by those aged four to 15 years old in the second quarter of 2022. 

As a result, a large proportion of individuals who were under 18 with TikTok accounts were likely to interact with content related to Love Island on the platform.

In a statement, they explained:  ‘Even if those individuals did not follow Ms Whitmore, we considered it was likely that the algorithm would determine Ms Whitmore’s posts to be of interest to them, meaning they would appear in their ‘For You’ page.’

Referring to Whitmore’s dancing while drinking alcohol, the ASA added: ‘Whilst we acknowledged that the ads were presented in a light-hearted tone, nonetheless we considered that consumers would interpret the ads to mean that drinking alcohol could precipitate a change in an individual’s behaviour and could enhance an individual’s confidence.’

Glam: The presenter, 37, sported a black velvet trouser suit paired with a striking patterned shirt which had red lips on it as she posed for pictures 

The ASA have ruled that the ads must not appear again.

The Muff Liquor Company have confirmed Whitmore was a shareholder but said she was not paid for the ads and that they asked her to remove the ads within 24 hours of being made aware of the complaint.

They added that 2.7 percent of Whitmore’s 1.6 million social media followers were under 18 years of age, and therefore understood that the product had not been inappropriately targeted to under-18s.

Since receiving notification of the complaint, they have agreed any of Whitmore’s future ads for The Muff Liquor Company will be reviewed by the company before being posted.

Axed: The videos – released in July – featured Whitmore drinking peppermint tea, and then water, beer and ‘Muff & tonic’, while her dancing became increasingly energetic

TikTok said Whitmore had not used its branded content disclosure tool, even though the post appeared to fall into this category.Instagram said it had no comment on the investigation.

Whitmore has featured The Muff Liquor Company on her social media pages in the past, last year in an April Fool’s post. If you loved this article and you would like to get extra information concerning eVDEn eVE NakLiyAt kindly go to our webpage.  

The Irish presenter became the face of the Donegal drinks brand in 2021 and owns equity in the firm as a shareholder.

She has worked with a number of brands for their consumer campaigns, including Blossom Hill, eBay, Laybuy, Bodyform and Dare2b. 

End of an era: She has worked with a number of brands for their consumer campaigns and last year announced she’d be stepping down as the host of Love Island

Last year, the mother-of-one announced she’d be stepping down as the host of Love Island, with .

Speaking about her decision to leave, Whitmore took a swipe at her ITV bosses as she claimed that she would still be fronting the show if she’d had more freedom in her role.

She claimed: ‘If I could [have done] things the way I wanted to, I’d probably still be doing it.’

She said she struggled to remain impartial while working on the show, admitting she sometimes wanted to voice her opinion on what had happened in the villa and ask the Islanders how they were coping following their stay.

Speaking to Psychologies magazine, Whitmore said of the contestants: ‘There was only so much I can do as a host – I couldn’t support them or not support them.I couldn’t say anything.

‘So you kind of have to go quiet, and that was hard for me because I like to be able to have those conversations.

‘If I could [have done] things the way I wanted to, I’d probably still be doing it.’

The TV star replaced Caroline Flack as the host of the ITV dating show when she stood down in December 2019.Caroline tragically took her own life aged 40 in February 2020.

Whitmore took to social media after last year’s summer season to detail her decision, admitting she found flying back and forth from the villa ‘very difficult’.

In her statement, eVdeN Eve nAKLiyAt Whitmore said she was only planning to fill in for Caroline for one series, .

High praise: Whitmore’s Love Island eVDen EvE NaKLiyAt replacement Maya Jama has been lauded by fans after she kicked off the winter show in January

College student's leg amputated and skull crushed in train accident https://www.announcement.news/college-students-leg-amputated-and-skull-crushed-in-train-accident-16/ https://www.announcement.news/college-students-leg-amputated-and-skull-crushed-in-train-accident-16/#respond Sun, 14 May 2023 12:11:27 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=71920 A Boston College student, 20, who lost her footing and was dragged underneath a moving train suffered multiple injuries in what her father has called a ‘preventable’ accident.

Ava Harlow is undergoing treatment at Brigham and Women’s Hospital after she suffered a fractured skull, EvDen eve naKliyaT crushed pelvis, broken arms, cuts to her face, and broke one leg and lost part of her other leg.

The Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) police said at about 11. If you loved this article and you would like to receive more info about eVden eve NaKliYAt generously visit our webpage. 30pm on January 27, Harlow got off a Green Line train at the Boston University Central Station with a group of friends just moments before tragedy struck, according to the .

While knocking on the window to signal friends Harlow took a step in the direction in which the train was moving, slipped, and evdEn Eve nakLiYaT fell under the train.

Boston College student, Ava Harlow, 20, lost her footing and was dragged underneath a moving train. She suffered multiple injuries in what her dad is calling a ‘preventable’ accident

Boston Fire Department, alongside Emergency medical services, Boston police and MBTA responded working together to rescue the Bridgewater State University student.

The 20-year-old’s father, Andrew Harlow, told that his daughter had to be resuscitated twice before she was taken to ICU.

‘Ava was intubated on about seven different medications at the intensive care unit and it was still dicey as to whether she could live,’ Harlow said to the outlet.

‘I want to know who the guy was who tied her tourniquet.I want to know who it was that resuscitated her the first time, then the second time. I’m just grateful to the guys.’

While thankful his daughter survived, Andrew told Boston Herald that the tragedy could have been prevented and that he’d been ‘numb’ when he received the call.

‘[The driver] could have [seen] that she was banging on the friggin’ [sic] side of the car and not pulled away,’ he told the outlet.

‘They have mirrors.They have horns. They’re supposed to toot the horn before they take off.’

Andrew said the family had ‘retained a lawyer’ but wasn’t ‘at liberty’ to comment on whether the operator was at fault and whether he planned to take action against the MBTA.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) police said at about 11:30pm Jan 27 Harlow got off a Green Line train at the Boston University Central Station when tragedy struck

Boston Fire Department, alongside Emergency medical services, Boston police and EVdEn eVe NaKliyAT MBTA responded working together to rescue the Bridgewater State University student

‘We are retaining a lawyer.And he’s good,’ he said.

The MBTA said the accident ‘does not appear to be the result of any mechanical or MBTA employee failure,’ the reported.

Harlow is expected to need multiple surgeries and a prosthetic leg following the horrific accident.

Several fundraising initiatives have been set up for the young student who has been described as ‘hardworking, smart and funny.’

In the description of , set up by a group that calls themselves Harlow’s ‘aunties,’ $42,480 have been so far raised.

They wrote that Harlow was a ‘basketball and field hockey star’ and a ‘bright and promising college sophomore’ who had hoped to pursue a career in Intelligence. 

Several fundraising initiatives have been set up for the young student who has been described as ‘hardworking, smart and funny’

‘She’s hardworking, smart, funny, and has a big heart,’ the description added.

‘On Friday, January 27, Ava was involved in a horrific accident where she was struck by a train. Thankfully she survived, but she has many very serious injuries and will require a prosthesis.

‘We are hopeful for her recovery, but she will need several more surgeries and has a long, difficult road ahead of her.’

Another set up by friends of Harlow, which has raised $43,006 so far, said: ‘Ava always knows how to make everyone laugh and is a great friend that has anyone’s back.’

Meanwhile, Boston’s, , which ‘helps families that had been touched by tragedy’ have so far raised $10,337.

Guy Sebastian’s long-timer manager has been jailed for a minimum two-and-a-half years for embezzling more than $600,000 from his star client https://www.announcement.news/guy-sebastians-long-timer-manager-has-been-jailed-for-a-minimum-two-and-a-half-years-for-embezzling-more-than-600000-from-his-star-client-13/ https://www.announcement.news/guy-sebastians-long-timer-manager-has-been-jailed-for-a-minimum-two-and-a-half-years-for-embezzling-more-than-600000-from-his-star-client-13/#respond Sun, 14 May 2023 01:55:43 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=71825 Guy Sebastian’s long-timer manager has been jailed for a minimum two-and-a-half years for embezzling more than $600,000 from his star client.

Titus Day was sentenced to a maximum four years in prison by Judge Tim Gartelmann at ‘s Downing Centre District Court on Thursday afternoon. 

Judge Gartelmann said the offences ‘all were committed for financial gain’ but it could not be established beyond reasonable doubt that 49-year-old Day was motivated by greed.

‘There is no evidence of remorse as the offender maintains his innocence – nor is there any evidence regarding prospects of rehabilitation,’ Judge Gartelmann said.

He found Day re-offending was nonetheless unlikely. 

Guy Sebastian’s former manager Titus Day was found guilty in June of embezzling $624,675 from the singer.Sebastian is pictured with wife Jules

Titus Day managed Guy Sebastian for about a decade and the men were once close friends.Day is pictured outside court before his sentencing on Thursday

Day was originally charged with 50 counts of embezzling at least $886,175 in royalties, performance fees and an ambassadorship from Sebastian between 2013 and 2020.

A jury found the father-of-three guilty in June of 34 offences in relation to money totalling $624,675 after deliberating for almost a week.

The offending was a breach of trust but there had been no significant organisation or planning, Judge Gartelmann found. It was not known how Day spent the money.

Publicity surrounding the case and the destruction of Day’s reputation had left him ‘devastated’ and it was unlikely he could ever recover professionally. 

The court case pitted two men who were once extremely close against each other and dragged in their wives, who had also been friends. 

The brutal split between Sebastian and Day also rocked the entertainment industry. 

The court heard Sebastian found ‘anomalies’ in financial records after he split from Day suggesting he was owed payments by his former manager.Sebastian is pictured with Day

Judge Gartelmann said character witnesses had universally described Day as generous, honest and trustworthy. All considered his offending out of character. 

Singer Tina Arena was among those who provided a reference for Day, describing him as ‘someone she trusts’ and a man with ‘honesty and integrity’.

The trial was beset by woes, including the death of original judge Peter Zahra, the dismissal of five jurors from a panel of 15 and Sebastian and Crown Prosecutor David Morters SC contracting . 

While it was Day fighting for his liberty, Sebastian said he felt he was on trial during the hearing and most of the media attention focused on him. 

The Voice judge was forced to reveal intimate details of his finances, including sometimes astronomical fees for performances and so-called ‘contra’ deals. 

Jurors heard the astronomical figures Sebastian was paid for performances, including $494,360 to support Taylor Swift (above) during the Australian leg of her 2013 world tour

The ARIA Award-winner was in the witness box for more than a week giving evidence in chief before Mr Morters and under cross-examination by Day’s barrister Dominic Toomey SC.          

Sebastian – who never signed a contract with Day – had so much money coming in from so many sources he did not notice hundreds of thousands of dollars missing from his bank account for years.

Jurors heard Sebastian was paid $494,360 to support Taylor Swift during the four-city Australian leg of her ‘The Red Tour’ in December 2013. 

He charged $54,341 to sing at a wedding in Jakarta in July 2017 and McDonald’s paid the entertainer $66,000 to appear at a conference in September that year.

The hit-maker also received $49,114.62 for singing at Allianz Stadium in Sydney during the British and Irish Lions rugby tour in 2013.

The sums that were embezzled range from $593.53 in royalties from Sony Music to $187,524.42 for the Taylor Swift gigs. They also included $57,086.93 for a performance in Singapore and $77,042.96 from a Dreamworld ambassadorship. 

Day contended some of the money was withheld to pay expenses and buy shares on Sebastian’s behalf but Judge Gartelmann did not find evidence to support those suggestions. 

Sebastian gave evidence he had been given a boat, international air fares and the use of two Toyota LandCruisers for himself and his wife instead of cash payment from major companies. 

Day, a qualified lawyer, had first managed Sebastian in 2007 while working for 22 Management. Sebastian had about nine months left on a three-year contract when Day approached him in July 2009 to join his own new company 6 Degrees.

A jury found Titus Day guilty in June of embezzling $624,675 from his former client Guy Sebastian after deliberating for almost a week.Sebastian is pictured with wife Jules

The performer had an agreement with Day under which the agent was to receive a 20 per cent commission on his earning and was paying his manager $500,000 a year.

Sebastian terminated the arrangement in November 2017 in what became an acrimonious split. 

He subsequently found ‘anomalies’ in financial records suggesting he was still owed payments by Day and in July 2018 launched a civil claim against him.

Day made a counter claim against Sebastian alleging he was owed money, which led to an examination of the agent’s banking records revealing further anomalies.Sebastian then went to police.

Day told police the chart-topper owed him $1.2million in outstanding commissions.

Sebastian (above) had so much money coming in from so many sources he did not notice hundreds of thousands of dollars missing from his bank account for years

Mr Toomey took Sebastian through invoices, eVdEn Eve NAKliYaT payment statements and banking records, many of which the singer said he did not recall ever seeing.

At one point a frustrated Sebastian told Mr Toomey.’I am not forensically skilled… when it comes to money and numbers it is pretty clearly not my forte.’ 

Sebastian told the court some of what Day did for him required a ‘heavy work load’ but for other tasks he needed ‘very little’ assistance. 

Day’s contribution to marketing Sebastian’s song writing and television appearances was negligible.Day would ‘hardly ever rock up’ when he was a judge on The X Factor, for instance, ‘but will take a $200,000 fee’. 

Sebastian denied he felt ‘great animosity’ towards Day, saying he instead felt ‘great disappointment’ in his former agent.

‘I have a lot of confusion as to now it’s got to this point,’ he said.

Singer Tina Arena (above) was among those who provided a character reference for Day, EvdeN eve nakliyAt describing him as ‘someone she trusts’ and a man with ‘honesty and integrity’

In another exchange, Mr Toomey suggested to Sebastian he was ‘earning a large sum of money’ during his time under Day’s management.

‘Not as large as it should have been, Mr Toomey,’ he said.    

Mr Toomey quizzed Sebastian about ‘contra’ payments, which involved receiving goods for his services rather than money.   

Sebastian agreed he been involved in ambassadorships with Bose, AirAsia, Canon and Yamaha and accepted a Bluefin boat as payment for performing at a festival in Queensland.

Mr Toomey asked Sebastian if he considered ‘contra’ – to be income.’I’m not sure,’ he responded.

‘It’s not something I’ve ever thought about. I hire accountants who’ve been instructed to do everything by the book. You don’t buy a dog and bark yourself.’     

The court case pitted two men who were once extremely close against each other and dragged in their wives, who had also been friends.Day is pictured left with Sebastian 

Sebastian also had to contend with an email he sent to Day describing the fans of Westlife singer Shane Filan as being ‘fat older women’.

Sebastian had been reluctant to support the Irish boy band star on a 2017 tour because his appearance would not be ‘the right fit’.

‘I said something which wasn’t great, something about feral old women or something,’ he told the court.  

In another sideshow to the trial, Jules Sebastian repeatedly denied her husband was a violent man when she was quizzed about an incident in the couple’s home in 2012.

Mrs Sebastian had rung her husband about an intruder she said was attempting to enter the couple’s house at Maroubra in Sydney’s south-east.

Her husband confronted the young man and there was a physical altercation but he denied headbutting the young man, although he told friends he had.

Day sought an apprehended violence order against Sebastian eight years later, citing his ‘violent history’.

It was two days after the AVO was served that Sebastian went to police with his complaint that Day had withheld money from him. 

Day had told police he received a phone call in May 2020 in which someone said:  ‘Guy Sebastian wants you f***ed’.

‘Two weeks ago he sent emails to my wife trying to intimidate her,’ Day claimed.Three weeks ago someone came on my property and let down my car tyres.’

Sebastian told the court he had never done anything to threaten Day or his wife and had no knowledge of anyone else having done so. Day eventually withdrew the AVO. 

Judge Gartelmann ordered Day, who has already indicated he would appeal his conviction, repay $624,675.He will be eligible for parole on May 16, 2025.

Baldwin, 43, married British film producer, James Fletcher, in 2018 after they met at a holiday party two years prior.In the event you loved this article and you wish to receive more information with regards to EvDen Eve NAkliYat kindly visit our own web page. On Thursday, EvDeN EVe naKliYAt the former anchor filed for divorce in the Manhattan . 

She posted a statement on her announcing their decision, writing: ‘After nearly five years of marriage, with love and respect, James and I have decided to go our separate ways.Our time time has been some of the most precious, defining, and awakening years of my life. I wish him nothing but the best as he begins this new chapter.’ 

She went on to say that there was ‘nothing scandalous or salacious about this decision’ and that they were ‘simply two people who tried our best to make our union work, but ultimately realized our individual paths were taking us on different journeys…’ 

‘[It was] the healthiest thing for both of us to honor that,’ she wrote.’It is never easy to end a relationship with someone you love, but that does not always mean ending it is the wrong thing to do.’ 

Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin has filed for divorce from her British husband James Fletcher after nearly five years of marriage 

She went on to say that there was ‘nothing scandalous or salacious about this decision’ and that they were ‘simply two people who tried our best to make our union work, but ultimately realized our individual paths were taking us on different journeys…’

In December, the pair appeared very in love as they enjoyed a trip to Fletcher native country just days before Christmas. 

Baldwin posted photos of the laid-back couple eating a traditional meal of fish and chips with ‘mushy peas!’ and visiting the Royal Albert Hall where ‘James printed our wedding invitations’.

She shared multiple photos of them exploring London via a double-decker bus and a snap of her sprawled on the hotel’s heated bathroom floors.

The couple’s trip didn’t indicate any sort of trouble in paradise as Baldwin proudly showed off moments with Fletcher’s family, including a video of ‘peppering’ her husband’s childhood friend’s kids with questions about English boarding school. 

‘Fun fact: My husband was sent away to school at seven!’ she wrote with a shocked-faced emoji. 

In December, the pair appeared more loved up than ever as they enjoyed a trip to Fletcher native country just days before Christmas. 

Baldwin posted photos of the laid-back couple eating a traditional meal of fish and chips with ‘mushy peas!’ and visiting the Royal Albert Hall (pictured) where ‘James printed our wedding invitations.’

The only slight indication the couple was struggling was a New Year’s Eve post which said she ‘vowed to continue *doing the work* so I can show up as the best version of myself for MYSELF…and then also for my husband…and anyone, really.

‘I’ve found myself thinking a lot about fear this last week.Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of not living up to what we’re capable of. Fear of showing up as our full selves and being rejected,’ she wrote on her Instagram in an honest post. 

It appears the former TV anchor is facing a lot of unknowns as she heads into 2023 single and on a new career path.Baldwin left CNN after 13 years last April after she slammed the company for its lack of women leaders. 

Baldwin announced in February 2022 she would be leaving the liberal network. At the time, Baldwin made the shock announcement at the start of her 3pm show, CNN Newsroom, eVDEn eVe NakliYAt telling viewers ‘there is just more I need to do outside the walls of this place’.

Ahead of her departure, Baldwin, who first joined CNN in 2008, sat down for an interview with podcast where she described CNN as a male-dominated network.

Baldwin’s divorce just nearly a year after she left CNN which she claimed was ‘dominated by men’.  She said prior to her last day at the network: ‘The most influential anchors on our network, the highest-paid, are men. My bosses, my executives, are men’

‘The most influential anchors on our network, the highest-paid, are men. My bosses, my executives, are men. The person who oversees CNN Dayside is a man, and my executive producer for 10 years is a man. So I’ve been surrounded by a lot of men,’ Baldwin said.

Baldwin, who was temporarily pulled from the air in the build up to the 2020 election and replaced by Jake Tapper, said during the interview that she has fought for women’s stories.

‘I know I, personally, fight for women’s stories,’ Baldwin said.’I got told no a lot and I still managed to do it,’ Baldwin said, referring to the CNN series American Woman.

She noted that CNN has slowly started to give more women power but ‘we still have a bit of a ways to go. I want more women in the room’.

Baldwin’s exit may have been foreshadowed last fall when she posted a cryptic message to Instagram in October which suggested she was being forced off the air and temporarily replaced by Tapper.

Baldwin was one of the network’s highest-earning journalists, with a reported annual salary in the region of $4million 

‘As the election gears up, the political maestro @jaketapper will hold down my hour and his for the coming weeks.Wish I was with you, but I’ll see ya on [TV] on the flip side of the election,’ she wrote on October 1.

She gave no explanation for the move, but told supporters it was ‘not my choice’ to temporarily withdraw from her afternoon slot.

She said she was going ‘nowhere’ in response to a question about her moving on elsewhere, and also dispelled speculation that the decision to step aside was for health reasons insisting that she is ‘healthy.’

Her show was then pulled for several weeks, with CNN claiming they needed more airtime for the reporters in Washington, DC.

Baldwin was one of the network’s highest-earning journalists, with a reported annual salary in the region of $4million.

The highest paid is Anderson Cooper, who is said to earn around $12million a year.
