US equities soared on Tuesday on the heels of President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The General Services Administration confirmed it would provide the "resources and services" needed to start Biden's transition. According to Business Insider, it's a clear sign that the Trump campaign has accepted its loss in the 2020 race. The typically seamless process has been mired down by President Donald Trump's legal challenges to the election's outcome. The Dow Jones industrial average surged above 30,000 for the first time, ever marking a rapid comeback after sinking in March.
Stage 7 of the world’s toughest automotive race, the Dakar Rally, promised to be the harshest of the 2019 edition – and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The Dakar truly bared its teeth with a 323 km-long test that saw MINI’s Stephane Peterhansel (France) close the gap to Toyota Gazoo Racing SA’s Nasser Al Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel by 11:58.Despite the Frenchman’s victory on Stage 7, Al Attiya/Baumel still lead the rally in the overall standings, and have a buffer of 29:16 over Peterhansel. Nani Roma (Spain), in another MINI, is in third, 37:59 behind the Toyota Hilux crews. Sebastien Loeb, who had been on a charge over the last three stages, lost significant time due to electric problems in his Peugeot today, dropping down to fourth place in the standings as a result.This allowed the MINI brigade to catch up with the Toyota Hilux mid-way through the stage, and Al Attiyah planned to follow them through the dune section in order to help with his own navigation.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders joined a rally outside the White House on Tuesday, where he condemned the Dakota Access Pipeline and expressed his solidarity with the Native American people. The solidarity rally with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which has filed a lawsuit against the pipeline, was organised by 350.org, Sierra Club and other environmental groups. Since it was approved in late July, the 1,172 mile pipeline has sparked outrage among Native American communities and locals. The project, which would cost around $3.8 billion dollars, is expected to carry crude oil from the North Dakota region through South Dakota and Iowa to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Illinois, if completed. Standing Rock Sioux worry that the pipeline, which is slated to travel just north of the tribe's lands and through several nearby rivers which provide water to the tribe, could contaminate their water supply. Thousands of Native Americans representing tribes from all over the country have travelled to North Dakota to camp in the solidarity with Standing Rock Sioux.
