La Belle says cooking-oil production and supply will continue
In a 4 November statement quoted by TSA, La Belle says its cooking-oil plants are operating at full capacity and pledges to maintain production and supplies to the market. The statement comes as the newspaper reports rumours of supply pressures. It is a reassurance from the manufacturer, not evidence of availability in every shop. The reported information therefore neither establishes a nationwide shortage nor guarantees the stock held by individual retailers.

Kaylia Nemour targets multiple medals at Los Angeles 2028
Coach Nadia Massé told TSA that Kaylia Nemour is aiming for several medals at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, focusing on uneven bars, balance beam and the all-around. The separate vault final is not a stated target: it requires two vaults from different families, whereas the all-around needs only one. The ambition spans several events, but is not a promise of three titles. Her coach remains cautious about the number and colour of any future medals.
