Victoria Police are investigating an incident in the downtown core on Christmas Eve, involving a stolen vehicle that evaded officers before being recovered. Around 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 24, officers received a call from the owners of a stolen vehicle that it had been spotted being driven downtown, Vic PD confirmed in an email to Victoria News. Officers located the vehicle and moved into position behind it. However, the driver ran a red light, which caused officers to end their pursuit for public safety reasons. Police located the stolen vehicle again, a few moments later, immobile. In an attempt to prevent the individual from fleeing further, officers executed a manoeuvre which resulted in the stolen vehicle losing one of its tires. Despite the damage, the vehicle managed to flee the scene on three wheels. The pursuit resumed as the stolen vehicle sped down some of Victoria's busiest arteries. Many social media users commented on the event and posted videos of the sighting. “Holy there is a guy driving a three-wheeled 4x4 down Douglas sparks flying with two dozen cops chasing them they almost hit us,” said Facebook user Takuma Valcourt. VicPD confirmed that the stolen vehicle was later recovered, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Bangladesh: BNP Criticises Chief Adviser Yunus' Suggestion To Lower Voting Age To 17Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh passed away at Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) the age of 92. He was admitted to the emergency department at the AIIMS Delhi on Thursday evening. The economist made an exit from public life after taking retirement from the Rajya Sabha. He slipped out of politics without any ceremony just like he entered it 33 years ago. ALSO READ | Former PM Manmohan Singh, 92, Passes Away At AIIMS Delhi The Congress leader who is known to be the architect of India's economic reforms is hailed for placing India on the road to liberalisation in the early 1990s. Besides his role in India's political landscape, he has also held office at many posts in the planning commission and has also worked as an economic advisor at the Reserve Bank of India. Here are some facts about Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh: Manmohan Singh was born on September 26, 1932, in Gah village, which is now in Pakistan's Punjab province. Singh lost his mother at an early age and was raised by his grandmother. He was extremely dedicated towards his studies and used to study under a kerosene lit lamp as there was no electricity in his village. He pursued Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Economics from Panjab University in 1952 and 1954. He then went on to complete his Economic Tripos in 1957 from the Cambridge University and then pursued a D.Phil in Economics from the Oxford in 1962. In 1971, he joined the Government of India as an Economic Advisor in the Commerce Ministry. Prior to this, he even taught at the Panjab University and Delhi School of Economics. After a year he was promoted to Chief Economic Advisor in the Finance Ministry in 1972. From 1987-1990, he worked as the Secretary General of the South Commission in Geneva. In 1991, he was appointed the Chairman of the University Grants Commission. In addition to these stints, Manmohan Singh also held the positions of Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, Secretary in the Finance Ministry, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, and Advisor to the Prime Minister. It was in June 1991 that he was appointed as the Finance Minister in PV Narasimha Rao's cabinet, which led him to make a place amongst the eminent people who were responsible for India's post-liberalisation. After being elected to the Rajya Sabha in 1991, he was re-elected four more times from Assam in 1995, 2001, 2007, and in 2013. In June, 2019, he was elected to the House again as a member from Rajasthan. His term ended on April 3, 2019. Singh, however, could not become a member of the Lok Sabha. He contested the general elections once in 1991, and was defeated by BJP's Vijay Kumar Malhotra from the South Delhi constituency. He was the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha from March 21, 1998 to May 21, 2004. He also led the house when he was the PM. Manmohan Singh was elected as the Prime Minister of India on May 22, 2004. He held the post till 2014. For a decade, he steered Congress's ship till the BJP won with a landslide victory in 2014. He was awarded with Padma Vibhushan in 1987. Euromoney and Asiamoney named him as the Finance Minister of the Year in 1993.

Only one more quarter stands between the Hawks and the win they were favored to collect coming into this afternoon. Sitting on a score of 93-84, they have looked like the better team, but there's still one more quarter to play. The Hawks came into the matchup with some extra motivation after the loss they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off. We'll see if they're able to flip the script or if it'll just be more of the same. Miami Heat @ Atlanta Hawks Current Records: Miami 15-13, Atlanta 16-15 When: Saturday, December 28, 2024 at 3 p.m. ET Where: State Farm Arena -- Atlanta, Georgia TV: NBATV Follow: CBS Sports App Online streaming: fuboTV (Try for free. Regional restrictions may apply.) Ticket Cost: $48.00 The Miami Heat will wrap up 2024 with a road trip to face off against the Atlanta Hawks at 3:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at State Farm Arena. The Heat pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the 2.5-point favorite Hawks. The Heat are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week's over/under low at 208.5, but even that wound up being too high. They skirted by the Magic 89-88 on Thursday thanks to a clutch shot from Tyler Herro with less than a second left in the fourth quarter. The victory was all the more spectacular given Miami was down by 17 with 5:36 left in the first quarter. Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask the Hawks). They came out on top against the Bulls by a score of 141-133 on Thursday. The win was all the more spectacular given Atlanta was down by 21 with 1:12 left in the third quarter. The Hawks got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Jalen Johnson out in front who dropped a double-double on 30 points and 15 rebounds. What's more, Johnson also racked up five offensive rebounds, the most he's had since back in October. Trae Young was another key player, dropping a double-double on 27 points and 13 assists. The Hawks were working as a unit and finished the game with 32 assists (they're ranked third in assists per game overall). That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now racked up at least 27 assists in four consecutive matches. Miami's win ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 15-13. As for Atlanta, they now have a winning record of 16-15. Not only did both teams in this Saturday's game win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread. Looking ahead, the Hawks are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. Neither team has fared well against the spread this season; they are 13-18, while Miami is 11-17. The Heat didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against the Hawks in their previous matchup back in April, but they still walked away with a 117-111 victory. Do the Heat have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Hawks turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough. Atlanta is a slight 2.5-point favorite against Miami, according to the latest NBA odds . The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Hawks as a 3-point favorite. The over/under is 225.5 points.
