COSATU slams proposed 4.1% salary hike for politicians amid service delivery crisis by Radio Islam

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is considering adding Japanese language proficiency as a requirement for permanent residency for foreigners, sources familiar with the matter said Friday. To obtain the status, foreigners will also be mandated to take a program aimed at helping them smoothly integrate into local communities, the sources said. The envisaged new requirements will be included in a draft package of proposals on policy for foreign nationals, to be compiled next month for submission to the government.

Homebuying isn't one size fits all, and your mortgage shouldn't be either. Kimberly Nehiley, senior loan officer at Supreme Lending, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss nontraditional loan options and creative strategies every Atlanta homebuyer should know. Why Homebuyers Need a Mortgage Expert Buying a home is often the most significant financial decision a person will make, and the process can feel overwhelming. Supreme Lending goes beyond traditional loan origination to help clients evaluate cash flow, debt and long-term financial goals. Nehiley said, “It’s usually the product that they have the most anxiety about, because you’re dealing with their credit, their income, their money, their hopes and dreams, and their family’s hopes and dreams.” Supreme Lending also offers Supreme Essentials, which includes Budget Essentials and Credit Essentials, 20- to 30-minute online courses that guide clients on budgeting and credit management. The firm's in-house credit expert, with more than 30 years of experience at credit bureaus, helps clients raise their scores by an average of 100 points. Nehiley said, “Maybe you’re at a 650, but getting to 750 changes your interest rate by half a percent. I mean, those can be substantial amounts.” To make the mortgage process more transparent, Supreme Lending uses an AI-powered tool called the Home Buyer Journey. The technology includes several modules that guide clients through every step of the homebuying process. Innovative Mortgage Options for Today's Buyers Looking for more flexibility in your mortgage? Nehiley shares some of her favorite options that are gaining traction: Bank Statement Loans: For self-employed borrowers, income is verified through bank deposits instead of tax returns. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Loans: These loans focus on rental property cash flow rather than personal income. 40-Year Mortgages: 40-year mortgages reduce monthly payments for increased affordability. Proposed 50-year mortgages could provide additional flexibility for debt management and short-term affordability. Two-One Buydowns: Two-one buydowns are temporary interest rate reductions that benefit both homebuyers and builders. Interest-Only Mortgages: Homebuyers manage their cash flow while benefiting from home appreciation. “These loans are vehicles to help buyers now—they don't mean you're locked in for decades,” said Nehiley. “You can refinance or adjust as your situation changes.” Helping Buyers Make Smart Decisions With numerous loan options and fluctuating rates, Nehiley is passionate about educating clients to reduce confusion and stress. She breaks down costs into manageable steps, showing how small changes in loan amounts, down payments or home prices affect monthly payments. “For every $10,000 in home price, your monthly payment changes by roughly $60 to $70. That perspective helps buyers make informed decisions and avoid sticker shock.” Tune into the full episode for deeper insight into innovative mortgage products, creative financing solutions and how buyers can navigate today's evolving homebuying landscape.

The Trump administration last week moved to ban physicians and hospitals from providing gender-affirming care to minors. Wisconsin advocates say it would have harmful effects. A 90-year-old bridge comes down in southwestern Wisconsin. And, Sheboygan County residents are pioneering a new way to care for people with dementia.

Millions of dollars for homeless services in Minnesota are up in the air after the Trump  administration proposed changing the rules for housing programs that helped people get off the streets.   The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development plans to shift money away from long-term housing programs that provide services.   Instead, more federal money would go toward breaking up homeless encampments and to short-term shelters with work requirements and mandatory addiction treatment.  Critics warn this could force thousands of Minnesotans back into living in their cars, onto friends' couches or onto the streets — including people who have relied on supportive housing for years.On Dec. 19. a judge temporarily halted the administration's proposals, creating more uncertainty. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks with her guests about what helps people move into permanent homes and how federal policy shifts could affect Minnesotans. Guests: Chris LaTondresse is the president and CEO of Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, one of Minnesota's largest nonprofit providers of supportive housing for families, single adults and youth who have experienced homelessness. He previously served as a Hennepin County Commissioner and chaired the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. LeAnn Littlewolf is the executive director of the American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO) in Duluth. The nonprofit organization runs Gimaajii Mino-Bimaadizimin, a community center with supportive housing for women and children. She is a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and previously worked with the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless.  

The Albanese government is fast-tracking legislative reforms to address hate speech, online extremism and migration settings, after the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. Rejecting calls for a Royal Commission, the government argues urgent executive action is needed. In this podcast, we look at the proposed hate speech laws, expanded visa cancellation powers, debates over antisemitism on university campuses, and the political divide over enforcement versus a public inquiry.

Criticism of proposed protest laws following the Bondi attack; the federal government proposes domestic gas reservation policy; and in football, Sam Kerr leads the way as Chelsea triumphs over Liverpool.

In this episode of The Broker Link, Gillan Boyer and Josh Slattery unpack the proposed CMS 2027 rule and what it could mean for agents, consumers, and the future of the insurance industry. The discussion highlights a clear shift toward deregulation, with several proposed changes aimed at reducing administrative burden while increasing flexibility for both agents and consumers. Key topics include updates to Special Enrollment Period (SEP) rules, allowing plan changes when providers leave a network, and the removal of the 12-hour delay between educational and marketing events. Gillan and Josh also break down proposals to shorten record retention requirements for call recordings, simplify TPMO disclaimers, and eliminate certain low-value compliance requirements. The conversation explores how these changes could give agents more time to focus on what evidence shows matters most — educating and serving clients. Additionally, the episode covers proposed updates to the Stars program and discusses the long-term impact of making IRA changes permanent, particularly regarding Part D cost structures. Overall, the proposed 2027 rule signals a meaningful shift in CMS's approach — one that industry professionals are cautiously optimistic about as it moves toward a more practical, agent-friendly regulatory environment.

On November 19, the European Commission unveiled two major omnibus packages as part of its European Data Union Strategy. One package proposes several changes to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, while the other proposes significant changes to the recently minted EU AI Act, including a proposed delay to the regulation of so-called high-risk AI systems.    Laura Caroli was a lead negotiator and policy advisor to AI Act co-rapporteur Brando Benifei and was immersed in the high-stakes negotiations leading to the AI regulation. She is also a former senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, but recently moved back to Brussels during a time of major complexity in the EU.    IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy caught up with Caroli to discuss her views on the proposed changes to the AI Act in the omnibus package and how she thinks the negotiations will play out.

A possible win for the General Practice Owners Association, as they take on the so-called healthcare duopoly and cost pressures. Their proposal for a breakaway Primary Health Organisation is gaining traction, with 116 GP practices, covering 833,000 enrolled patients, showing interest. If approved by Health New Zealand, it would become the country's largest PHO, representing around 16% of total enrolments. General Practice Owners Association Chair Dr Angus Chambers told Heather du Plessis-Allan that there's widespread dissatisfaction within the GP community. He says some of it's because PHOs have gone off their path and are doing things that aren't best for GPs, but they've also had years of underfunding and woeful workforce planning.

Why the Proposed 401 Tunnel is a Misguided Solution to Toronto's Traffic Woes   As Toronto grapples with ever-increasing traffic congestion, the province of Ontario is considering a drastic solution: burying a tunnel beneath the 401 highway. However, this approach raises more questions than answers and may not be the panacea that officials hope for. In this blog post, we'll delve into the complexities surrounding this proposed project and explore more effective alternatives.

Today, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the City Council kicked off a series of high-profile budget meetings, and the clock is ticking for them to pass the 2026 budget. The major sticking point continues to be whether the corporate head tax as a revenue stream should be included in the proposal. A new WBEZ data analysis digs into the claim that it's a job killer, showing little connection between job trends in the city and an earlier version of the tax, which was repealed in 2014. We get more info from Mariah Woelfel, WBEZ city politics reporter; Amy Qin, WBEZ data reporter; and Bob Bruno, director of the labor education program at the School for Labor and Employment Relations at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

REVIEW — Bob Zimmerman — European Union Space Act: Regulatory Overreach Against Private Enterprise. Zimmerman discusses a proposed European Union Space Act, characterizing this legislation as "egregious" regulatory overreach that would systematically harm private enterprise innovation and commercial space development. Zimmermanprovides a 50-word summary: Zimmerman critiques the law because the EU is attempting to impose its regulatory sovereignty on non-European companies, specifically dictating satellite construction and launch methodologies for American firms having no European operational presence or connection. Despite unprecedented opposition from the U.S. State Department, the European Space Agency, private American space companies, and the Progressive Policy Institute (a leftist policy organization), Zimmerman warns that the EU characteristically ignores substantive objections and pursues its own regulatory agenda unilaterally, functioning analogously to a Homeowners Association attempting to enforce paint color requirements on properties located in completely different cities outside their jurisdictional authority.
