The UN nuclear watchdog's board of governors passed a resolution chiding Iran's poor cooperation with the agency after hours of heated exchanges, diplomats told AFP late on Thursday, a move Tehran called "politically motivated". The censure motion brought by Britain, France, Germany and the United States at the International Atomic Energy Agency's 35-nation board follows a similar one in June.

A judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women’s volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. Monday’s ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to continue competing in the Mountain West Conference women’s championship scheduled for later this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed by nine current players who are suing the Mountain West Conference to challenge the league’s policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Judge Crews referred to the athlete as an “alleged transgender” player in his ruling and noted that no defendant disputed that San Jose State rosters a transgender woman volleyball player. He said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting that the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a forfeit in league standings. He also said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 – making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season’s awareness of her identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a political campaign year. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. San Jose State is seeded second. The judge's order maintains the seedings and pairings for the tournament. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada’s players stated they “refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes,” without providing further details. Crews served as a magistrate judge in Colorado’s U.S. District Court for more than five years before President Joe Biden appointed him to serve as a federal judge in January of this year. ____ Gruver reported from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Hanson from Helena, Montana.

Report: Chargers expect WR Ladd McConkey, LB Khalil Mack to play vs. Ravens’Twas the night before Christmas here on the farm, not a creature as stirring out in the barn. The boots were placed by the back door with care at the hopes of not hearing mama holler, “No mud through the house, don’t you dare!” The children were nestled all snug in their beds with visions of early morning chores fresh in their heads. And Ma in her Wranglers and I in my hat finally sat down at the table dreaming of a much-needed nap. When out in the pasture there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the table to see what was the matter. I reached for my rope and threw up the sash. Out the door with my rifle, I flew like a flash. The moon on the breast of the fresh-cut hay gave a luster of midday to objects that neigh. When what to my wondering eyes did appear but a red F250 pulled by 500 reindeer. With a little ol’ cowboy so tired yet still quick I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick More rapid than red-tailed hawks. His coursers they came And he whistled and yipped and called them by name. Now, Blackjack! Now, Bourbon! Now, Poncho! Now, Dixen! On, Outlaw! On, Sassy! On, Odessa and Blizten! To the top of the barn and every last stall. Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away y’all. As dry crops that before. The wild tornado fly. When they meet with an obstacle. Mount to the sky. So up to the hayloft the coursers they flew. With a sleigh full of toys and cowboy Nick too. And then, in a twinkling I heard on the roof the clipping and clopping of each little hoof. As I was drawing my rope and turning around down the hayloft, ol’ Nick came with a bound. He was dressed in all Carhart from his hat to his boots and his clothes were all tarnished with manure and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung over his shoulder and he looked like a cowpoke standing there with his hand on his holster. His eyes they looked tired. His dimples, how merry! His cheeks were windburned. His nose chapped like a cherry. His handlebar mustache drawn up like a bow and the whiskers on his chin were as white as the snow. The butt of a smoke he held tight in his teeth and the smoke, it encircled. His head like a wreath. He had broad face. And a little beer belly that shook when he laughed like a bow full of jelly. He was chubby and plump. Hadn’t missed many a supper. A well fed ol’ cowboy thanks to mainly to the higher upper. A right jolly ol’ elf And I laughed when I saw him, but only to myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know He approved of my spread. He spoke not a word but went straight to work and filled all the stockings but mine because I’d been a bit of a jerk. And swaying his finger in the air with some cowboy prose. Back up the loft ladder he ascended and rose he sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a yip and away they all flew Like the of a whistle of a whip. But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight can’t even one of you damn horses listen to me even for one night? Merry Cowboy Christmas to all and to all a Good Night.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi left for New Delhi after wrapping up his two-day visit to Kuwait during which the two countries elevated their relationship to a strategic partnership, marking a new era of bilateral cooperation and growth. Modi's visit to Kuwait was the first by an Indian Prime Minister to the Gulf nation in 43 years. In a special gesture, Kuwaiti Prime Minister Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah came to off Modi at the airport as he left for India. PM Modi, in a post on X, thanked the Kuwait counterpart for the special gesture. #WATCH | Prime Minister Narendra Modi leaves for Delhi from Kuwait after completing his 2-day visit to Kuwait at the invitation of Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Amir of the State of Kuwait (Source - DD News) pic.twitter.com/VLJD2EPYjm — ANI (@ANI) December 22, 2024 "Thank you Kuwait!

"In line with the close ties between our nations, we have elevated our partnership to a strategic one and I am optimistic that our friendship will flourish even more in the times to come," Modi said in a post on X. Modi held wide-ranging talks with Kuwaiti Prime Minister Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and Crown Prince Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah with a focus on giving new momentum to the overall bilateral ties. The Indian prime minister was also conferred Kuwait's highest honour - 'The Order of Mubarak Al-Kabeer' - for his role in strengthening the good relations between the two countries. On Saturday, Modi addressed an Indian community event and visited an Indian labour camp. The over one million-strong Indian community is the largest expatriate community in Kuwait. The Gulf nation is among India's top trading partners, with bilateral trade valued at USD 10.47 billion in the financial year 2023-24. Kuwait is India's sixth largest crude supplier, meeting 3 per cent of the country's energy needs. Indian exports to Kuwait reached USD 2 billion for the first time, while investments by the Kuwait Investment Authority in India exceeded USD 10 billion.S Korean president accused of ordering use of guns to stop martial law voteGermany To Probe Possible Security Lapses Before Christmas Market AttackNephew only wants to play video games on vacation
FOOTBALL: Rogers County to host semifinal action over 2 weekends
Most Pennsylvania counties were done or almost done with the U.S. Senate recount by the time incumbent Democrat Bob Casey conceded to incoming Republican Dave McCormick on Thursday evening. And when the Department of State told counties to stop work on the recount Friday morning, election officials across the state were finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Elections offices have been working non-stop since September and will finally put the 2024 election in the rear view mirror with Monday’s certification deadline. Lebanon County’s election director Sean Drasher says he and his staff put in 90 hours of overtime in multiple two-week pay periods. “We’ve never had anything like anything even close to this. There’s nothing even to compare it to, with that many hours going in.” Every presidential election pushes counties’ elections staff to exhaustion, but interest in the state’s version of early voting option added even more to the workload. In many counties across the state, voters lined up to request, fill out, and return on-the-spot by-mail ballots, an approach not seen in large numbers in previous elections. “Everyone knew it was coming, and even though we all knew it was coming, it still hit us like a truck.” Now, counties are submitting their final, certified election results to the state and wrapping up a few additional reports. Many counties, like Columbia and York, have already finalized, audited and reported their vote totals. Election officials also have to finalize voter history, precinct-level vote totals, and a few other reports before starting in December to prepare for next year’s judicial retention and municipal elections. Electoral votes will be cast on Dec. 17, new state and federal legislators will be sworn into office in early January, and President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated on Jan. 20. Recount canceled Twenty-one counties had finished and reported their recount numbers for U.S. Senate by Thursday night. Several others, like Columbia, Lebanon, Perry, Schuylkill and York had finished the work but not yet submitted their official numbers to the state. Others still, like Cumberland County, said they were all but done. Per state law, the state reimburses counties for costs incurred to conduct the recount. The Department of State told election directors it still expects to pay recount-related costs even with the cancellation, according to Perry County Election Director Sarah Geesaman. The formal paperwork for the reimbursements have not yet been shared, she said. The counties that already submitted their recount numbers will use those as the final, official vote totals, while other counties will use the numbers they had before the recount, according to multiple county election directors. The differences between the pre- and post-recount numbers are marginal. Perry County had no change in results. In Columbia County, Casey gained 90 votes in the recount to McCormick’s 70, a consequence of finding additional marks on ballots that machines didn’t read the first time through. Those include check marks or other ways of filling out a ballot that aren’t always detected by machines, according to election director Matthew Repasky. In the end, McCormick beat Casey by less than a quarter of one percent of the vote, a margin of 16,000 votes out of seven million votes cast. Read more from our partners, WITF .
Universities in Bangladesh are on the brink of paralysis due to partisan faculty politics, irregularities in teacher recruitment, and power struggles disguised as student politics, said Education Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud yesterday. "Due to partisanship and criminalisation, there is no conducive environment for higher education in public universities. We are actively working to address these challenges," he said. "That is why we are appointing qualified individuals to key positions, including vice-chancellors. Additionally, efforts are underway to bring back talented teachers and researchers who have left the country," said the adviser at the "Bangladesh Higher Education Conference 2024", held at a hotel in the capital. The conference was organised by Daily Bonik Barta with the theme "Global Standards in Higher Education: What Bangladesh Needs to Do". Attending as chief guest, Wahiduddin Mahmud highlighted the disparity in quality between public and private universities. "One major concern is that many students opt to study abroad for higher education if they can afford it. Even after completing higher education locally, graduates remain unemployed, and this number is growing alarmingly," he said. To align higher education with global standards, collaborations with internationally renowned universities are essential, he said, adding, "We can work to enhance the quality of education by involving Bangladeshis who are part of these institutions." He also said partisan politics among teachers is one side of the coin, while the devaluation of merit is the other. Teachers must also possess administrative skills, as VCs provide both academic and administrative leadership, he added. Speaking as a special guest, UGC Chairman Prof SMA Faiz said universities must reduce dependency on the government. Both the government and UGC must support research. At the programme, DU VC Prof Niaz Ahmed Khan said higher education suffers from inadequate infrastructure and a lack of conducive research environments. The country's partisan and violent politics have harmed institutions, particularly higher education ones, he said. He also said if the goal of higher education is to truly shape students into human beings, then there is no difference between public and private institutions. Daffodil International University VC M Lutfar Rahman pointed out that many teachers fail to conduct classes properly, which must be addressed. Prof Abdur Rob, VC of International University of Business Agriculture and Technology, said insufficient funding and lack of interest among teachers hinder research. For world-class research, teachers need adequate time, training, and financial support, he added. United International University VC Abul Kashem Mia said strengthening primary and secondary education is crucial for improving higher education quality. PhD and postgraduate opportunities should depend on a university's quality rather than its public or private status, he said. North South University VC Prof Abdul Hannan Chowdhury noted that government control over both public and private institutions has stagnated educational culture. UGC research funding should be awarded based on merit, regardless of a university's status, he added. The panel included JU VC Prof Mohammad Kamrul Ahsan, UGC member Prof Mohammad Tanzimuddin Khan, Umama Fatema, spokesperson of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, and Ishtiak Abedin, secretary general of the Bangladesh Private University Association, among others.

Forthright and fearless, the Nobel Prize winner took pot-shots at former prime minister Tony Blair and ex-US president George W Bush among others. His death came after repeated bouts of illness in which images of the increasingly frail former president failed to erase memories of his fierce spirit. Democrat James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr swept to power in 1977 with his Trust Me campaign helping to beat Republican president Gerald Ford. Serving as 39th US president from 1977 to 1981, he sought to make government “competent and compassionate” but was ousted by the unstoppable Hollywood appeal of a certain Ronald Reagan. A skilled sportsman, Mr Carter left his home of Plains, Georgia, to join the US Navy, returning later to run his family’s peanut business. A stint in the Georgia senate lit the touchpaper on his political career and he rose to the top of the Democratic movement. But he will also be remembered for a bizarre encounter with a deeply disgruntled opponent. The president was enjoying a relaxing fishing trip near his home town in 1979 when his craft was attacked by a furious swamp rabbit which reportedly swam up to the boat hissing wildly. The press had a field day, with one paper bearing the headline President Attacked By Rabbit. Away from encounters with belligerent bunnies, Mr Carter’s willingness to address politically uncomfortable topics did not diminish with age. He recently said that he would be willing to travel to North Korea for peace talks on behalf of US President Donald Trump. He also famously mounted a ferocious and personal attack on Tony Blair over the Iraq war, weeks before the prime minister left office in June 2007. Mr Carter, who had already denounced George W Bush’s presidency as “the worst in history”, used an interview on BBC radio to condemn Mr Blair for his tight relations with Mr Bush, particularly concerning the Iraq War. Asked how he would characterise Mr Blair’s relationship with Mr Bush, Mr Carter replied: “Abominable. Loyal, blind, apparently subservient. “I think that the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world.” Mr Carter was also voluble over the Rhodesia crisis, which was about to end during his presidency. His support for Robert Mugabe at the time generated widespread criticism. He was said to have ignored the warnings of many prominent Zimbabweans, black and white, about what sort of leader Mugabe would be. This was seen by Mr Carter’s critics as “deserving a prominent place among the outrages of the Carter years”. Mr Carter has since said he and his administration had spent more effort and worry on Rhodesia than on the Middle East. He admitted he had supported two revolutionaries in Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, and with hindsight said later that Mugabe had been “a good leader gone bad”, having at first been “a very enlightened president”. One US commentator wrote: “History will not look kindly on those in the West who insisted on bringing the avowed Marxist Mugabe into the government. “In particular, the Jimmy Carter foreign policy... bears some responsibility for the fate of a small African country with scant connection to American national interests.” In recent years Mr Carter developed a reputation as an international peace negotiator. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his commitment to finding peaceful solutions to international conflicts, his work with human rights and democracy initiatives, and his promotion of economic and social programmes. Mr Carter was dispatched to North Korea in August 2008 to secure the release of US citizen Aijalon Mahli Gomes, who had been sentenced to eight years of hard labour after being found guilty of illegally entering North Korea. He successfully secured the release of Mr Gomes. In 2010 he returned to the White House to greet President Barack Obama and discuss international affairs amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula. Proving politics runs in the family, in 2013 his grandson Jason, a state senator, announced his bid to become governor in Georgia, where his famous grandfather governed before becoming president. He eventually lost to incumbent Republican Nathan Deal. Fears that Mr Carter’s health was deteriorating were sparked in 2015 when he cut short an election observation visit in Guyana because he was “not feeling well”. It would have been Mr Carter’s 39th trip to personally observe an international election. Three months later, on August 12, he revealed he had cancer which had been diagnosed after he underwent surgery to remove a small mass in his liver. Mr Obama was among the well-wishers hoping for Mr Carter’s full recovery after it was confirmed the cancer had spread widely. Melanoma had been found in his brain and liver, and Mr Carter underwent immunotherapy and radiation therapy, before announcing in March the following year that he no longer needed any treatment. In 2017, Mr Carter was taken to hospital as a precaution, after he became dehydrated at a home-building project in Canada. He was admitted to hospital on multiple occasions in 2019 having had a series of falls, suffering a brain bleed and a broken pelvis, as well as a stint to be treated for a urinary tract infection. Mr Carter spent much of the coronavirus pandemic largely at his home in Georgia, and did not attend Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration in 2021, but extended his “best wishes”. Former first lady Rosalynn Carter, the closest adviser to Mr Carter during his term as US president, died in November 2023. She had been living with dementia and suffering many months of declining health. “Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” Mr Carter said in a statement following her death. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”In Pictures: Jimmy Carter continued campaigning long after leaving power
