In a moment of national sorrow, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has passed away at the age of 92 due to age-related medical conditions. The announcement was made by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, where Singh had been receiving treatment in recent days. According to the statement released by AIIMS, Singh was found unconscious at his residence earlier today, December 26, 2024. “He was promptly administered resuscitative measures at home and brought to the AIIMS medical emergency at 8:06 pm,” the statement said. Despite all efforts to revive him, he was declared dead at 9:51 pm. Manmohan Singh, who served as the Prime Minister of India for two consecutive terms from 2004 to 2014, was a towering figure in Indian politics. His tenure is marked by his leadership in the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. He was widely recognized for his calm and intellectual approach to governance, though it was his role as Finance Minister in the early 1990s that cemented his legacy as one of India’s most influential political figures. Singh’s role in the landmark economic reforms of 1991, which included liberalizing India’s economy, reducing trade barriers, and opening the doors to foreign investment, is often credited with saving the country from economic collapse. These reforms transformed India’s economic landscape, setting the stage for its rapid growth in the subsequent decades. In the wake of his passing, tributes poured in from across the political spectrum. Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Sonia Gandhi arrived at AIIMS soon after the news of Singh’s hospitalization became known. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and party MP Rahul Gandhi, currently in Belagavi for a Congress Working Committee meeting, are en route back to Delhi, according to reports. Singh’s death marks the end of an era in Indian politics. He is survived by his wife, Gurcharan Singh, and their three daughters. Known for his humble and dignified nature, Singh’s contributions to India’s economic transformation will continue to resonate for generations to come.

"We want two things from the people of the country. If we work for the country, for the people, then we want the love of your hearts. You should give us the gift of love. Along with love, we want support and cooperation. We want a place in your hearts to change this nation."

(AP) — Cornerback Taron Johnson is still agitated over the dud the Buffalo Bills defense produced in giving up season worsts in points and yards, while melting down on third down in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams last weekend. There’s no better time or opportunity to show how much better they are than this Sunday. That’s when the Bills (10-3) travel to play the NFC-leading Detroit Lions (12-1), who just happen to lead the NFL in scoring and feature the same dynamic style of offense as the Rams. “I think our mindset is just going to be attack,” Johnson said after practice Wednesday. “We can’t wait to play Sunday just to prove people wrong and prove to ourselves that how we played wasn’t who we are.” The Bills acknowledge having several excuses to lean on for why they unraveled in a 44-42 loss — riding a little too high after a division-clinching win, a cross-country trip and facing a more driven opponent in the thick of a playoff race. What’s unacceptable is the hesitancy their usually reliable defensive backs showed in coverage and the lack of pressure applied by their defensive front. The bright side is the substandard performance potentially serving as a late-season reminder of this not being the time to let their foot off the gas. “A lot of teams have scars on their way to having a darn good season. And we’re having a darn good season,” coach Sean McDermott said. “So what has to be in front of us this week is the opportunity that’s in front of us, quite frankly, to challenge that team,” he added, referring to Detroit. “You better bring your heart, you better bring your guts, you better put it on the line.” With a little bit of added fire, the Bills are going back to the basics on defense following an outing in which very little went right. The defense was off-balance from the start in being unable to stop the run, before eventually being picked apart in the passing game while allowing the Rams to score on each of their first six drives (not including a kneel-down to close the first half) in building a 38-21 lead. The most frustrating part was Buffalo’s inability to get off the field while allowing the Rams to convert 11 of 15 third-down chances. LA’s 73.3% third-down conversion rate was the third highest against Buffalo — and worst since Miami converted 75% of its chances in 1986 — since the stat was introduced to NFL gamebooks in 1973. “The recipe to lose a football game is what we did (Sunday) and it starts with me, first and foremost,” defensive coordinator Bobby Babich said Monday. “Move on and let it not happen again. Let it be a learning lesson. Failure is the best teacher.” The challenge is preparing for an exceptionally balanced Lions offense that ranks fourth in the NFL in both rushing and passing, and averaging 32.1 points per outing. The objective, McDermott said, is to not overcorrect but stick to the fundamentals that led to Buffalo winning seven straight before losing to Los Angeles. He placed an emphasis on winning at the line of scrimmage and forcing takeaways, something Buffalo failed to do last weekend for the first time this season. A little more urgency, would help, too. “It is a mentality. It is an attitude, and if you want to play good defense, that’s where it starts,” McDermott said. “There’s not a lot of shortcuts or ways around it. It’s got to be a mentality.” The message resonated even on offense, where quarterback Josh Allen nearly rallied the Bills to victory while becoming the NFL’s first player to throw three touchdown passes and rush for three more scores. “It was a case of you saw a team that’s fighting for their lives to try to make the playoffs in the Los Angeles Rams, and they came out ready to play. And maybe we didn’t have that type of urgency,” Allen said. “It forces us to know that we’ve got to be better. We know that.” NOTES: LB Baylon Spector (calf) and DE Dawuane Smoot (wrist) returned to practice Wednesday, opening their 21-day windows to be activated off IR. ... Starting CB Rasul Douglas did not practice and could miss time after hurting his knee on Sunday. ... Buffalo has until this weekend to determine whether to activate OL Tylan Grable (groin) off IR.

I’ve started admiring other men’s bodies at the pool and it makes me wonder if I’m gayTown halls are to be given sweeping powers to issue on-the-spot fines for minor misdemeanours such as climbing trees in parks. Currently, councils trying to bring in local laws need to get a sign-off from a government minister. But under plans submitted in white paper on English devolution, local authorities would not have to get such permission and could be given the power to issue more fixed penalty notices rather than take people to court as at present. Councils already have limited – but highly controversial – powers to issue on-the-spot fines for misdemeanours such as littering and fly-tipping. But critics say the proposed new rules, which will massively increase the number of fixed penalty notices, could lead councils to abuse their powers and introduce byelaws to stop people smoking in the streets and selling unhealthy food in public places. could also use their proposed new powers to raise much-needed money. , the shadow local government secretary, said: “The Labour Government will leave no stone unturned in their mission to pick people’s pockets. “These proposals also raise serious concerns about civil liberties by opening the door to allowing overzealous town hall officials to ban lawful innocent activities in public places, such as vaping, walking a dog or going on an organised group run. “The justice system should not be hijacked to line the taxman’s pockets.” At present, on-the-spot fines issued by a local authority are typically between £50 and £100. Councils have previously been criticised for raking in millions in parking fines. Last year, councils collected £620 million – with Lambeth council in London alone collecting £52.4 million. Josie Appleton, director of the civil liberties group Manifesto Club, said: “I’m worried that councils will use these , as they do with other powers that allow fixed penalty notices. “Increasingly councils are employing private enforcement officers who are paid per fine, and will issue penalties whenever possible. “There are lots of archaic byelaws on the books, so we can expect people to be penalised for public nuisance, playing music or ball games in a park.” The Conservatives ruled out such a move during the coalition government because of the risk that councils would use the nanny-state fines to raise money – or outsource the work to private firms. They say that based on current council byelaws across the country, it could lead to fines for walking more than one dog at a time, ball games, use of model aircraft and kites and “informal” football or cricket. Last year two councils – Torfaen in Wales and Rugby – were criticised for using anti-social behaviour powers to ban the climbing of trees in some protected public spaces. The white paper also raises fears that new byelaws – introduced without secretary of state sign-off – could ban smoking in outdoor areas and outlaw unhealthy food being sold in public places. Angela Rayner’s white paper said the process for making byelaws is hundreds of years old and outdated for modern government. It said it was irrational for the Communities Secretary to have to agree before councils can set rules on “where people can ride bikes or climb trees in parks”. “This is irrational, inefficient and costly – tying up central government in decisions that should be for local leaders.” “We believe that to understand and respond to these issues. We intend to legislate to remove requirements for Secretary of State consent for local authority making of byelaws wherever possible. “Given the complexity of legislation that has built up over many decades and the wide policy scope under consideration, we will accomplish this through a review of such cases. “As part of this review, we will also determine whether councils should be able to enforce byelaws via fixed penalty notices rather than through the courts to improve their effectiveness. “We will consult the sector to agree on the best approach on how we might accomplish this.” Last night a spokesman for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: “We will work with councils to review whether they should be able to enforce byelaws via fixed penalty notices to improve their effectiveness.”(Bloomberg) — Asian stocks were poised to climb Thursday after US equities snapped a two-day slide on benign inflation data that supported expectations for an interest rate cut this month. Australian shares rose, while futures for Japan climbed and Hong Kong contracts were steady. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% and the Nasdaq 100 advanced 1.9% to a new high Wednesday, with the strong showing for tech pushing Amazon.com Inc and Meta Platforms Inc. to fresh records. Broadcom Inc. rose 6.6% following a report that the chipmaker was working on an AI deal with Apple Inc. Australian and New Zealand yields edged higher, echoing selling pressure in Treasuries across the curve Wednesday. The US 10-year yield rose four basis points, while the policy-sensitive two-year climbed one basis point. The moves were centered upon US consumer price index data that came in line with expectations, cementing forecasts for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points later in December. Swaps traders have now virtually priced in such a move, compared with an around 75% chance a week ago. The inflation data, “gives the Federal Reserve the green light for a 25 basis point rate cut at the December meeting, as it helps to confirm that we are still making progress on inflation even though it remains sticky,” according to Skyler Weinand, chief investment officer at Regan Capital. In Asia, economic reports set for release Thursday include labor market data for Australia, and inflation and industrial production for India. An index of dollar strength rose Wednesday for a fourth session, helped along by higher Treasury yields. China’s yuan slid the most in a week following a report that Beijing is considering allowing the currency to weaken next year in response to the threat of a trade war with the US. Meanwhile, China’s two-day Central Economic Work Conference is expected to map out policies for next year, following stimulus signals from top leaders. Officials must focus on, “how will they deliver fiscal stimulus more directly to consumers so the economy can more directly shift to consumption-led rather than investment led,” Amy Xie Patrick, head of income strategies for Pendal Group, said on Bloomberg Television. The yen weakened for a third day Wednesday. Bank of Japan officials see little cost to waiting before raising interest rates, while still being open to a hike next week depending on data and market developments, according to people familiar with the matter. Hikes, Cuts Brazil’s central bank increased the benchmark interest rate by a full percentage point to 12.25% late on Wednesday, and promised to deliver two hikes of the same size in the next two meetings, as it rushes to recover investor confidence and tame inflation expectations. The Canadian dollar advanced after hovering near a four and a half-year low once policymakers signaled they were ready to slow down on monetary easing. The Bank of Canada lowered its rate by half a percentage Wednesday, its second straight outsized cut. The Swiss National Bank and European Central Bank are also expected to reduce interest rates Thursday. In commodities, crude futures rose after a Bloomberg News report that the Biden administration is considering new sanctions on Russia’s oil trade, a move that could tighten the market. The White House warned that Russia may fire another intermediate-range ballistic missile at Ukraine, after what Moscow said were strikes on its territory with US-supplied weapons. Wall Street’s fear gauge, the Vix, fell below 14 following the CPI data, an indication the market is expecting calm in the near-term. Stocks and long bonds stand to benefit as fears of a higher inflation print evaporate, according to ClearBridge Investments’ Jeff Schulze. “The debate for the FOMC next week between cut or skip is over,” Schulze said. “This inflation print should be risk-asset friendly and provide a tailwind to equity markets as we move through one of the strongest seasonal periods of the year.” Key events this week: Some of the main moves in markets: Stocks Currencies Cryptocurrencies Bonds Commodities This story was produced with the assistance of Bloomberg Automation.
