Full transcript of "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Nov. 24, 2024As we celebrate this momentous occasion, it is important to acknowledge the critical role that scientific research and innovation play in shaping the future of our world. The contributions of individuals like Dr. Chen Wei and Dr. Zhang Boli not only expand our knowledge and understanding of the natural world but also have a profound impact on improving the quality of life for people around the globe.NEW YORK (AP) — Top-ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen is headed back to the World Blitz Championship on Monday after its governing body agreed to loosen a dress code that got him fined and denied a late-round game in another tournament for refusing to change out of jeans . Lamenting the contretemps, International Chess Federation President Arkady Dvorkovich said in a statement Sunday that he'd let World Blitz Championship tournament officials consider allowing “appropriate jeans” with a jacket, and other “elegant minor deviations” from the dress code. He said Carlsen's stand — which culminated in his quitting the tournament Friday — highlighted a need for more discussion “to ensure that our rules and their application reflect the evolving nature of chess as a global and accessible sport.” Carlsen, meanwhile, said in a video posted Sunday on social media that he would play — and wear jeans — in the World Blitz Championship when it begins Monday. “I think the situation was badly mishandled on their side,” the 34-year-old Norwegian grandmaster said. But he added that he loves playing blitz — a fast-paced form of chess — and wanted fans to be able to watch, and that he was encouraged by his discussions with the federation after Friday's showdown. “I think we sort of all want the same thing,” he suggested in the video on his Take Take Take chess app’s YouTube channel. “We want the players to be comfortable, sure, but also relatively presentable.” The events began when Carlsen wore jeans and a sportcoat Friday to the Rapid World Championship, which is separate from but held in conjunction with the blitz event. The chess federation said Friday that longstanding rules prohibit jeans at those tournaments, and players are lodged nearby to make sartorial switch-ups easy if needed. An official fined Carlsen $200 and asked him to change pants, but he refused and wasn't paired for a ninth-round game, the federation said at the time. The organization noted that another grandmaster, Ian Nepomniachtchi, was fined earlier in the day for wearing sports shoes, changed and continued to play. Carlsen has said that he offered to wear something else the next day, but officials were unyielding. He said “it became a bit of a matter of principle,” so he quit the rapid and blitz championships. In the video posted Sunday, he questioned whether he had indeed broken a rule and said changing clothes would have needlessly interrupted his concentration between games. He called the punishment “unbelievably harsh.” “Of course, I could have changed. Obviously, I didn’t want to,” he said, and “I stand by that.”
NoneFormer President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn’s involvement with Habitat for Humanity was so deep and publicized that it created a myth: that he both founded and ran the nonprofit that builds affordable housing. “Neither of those things are true,” said Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity International. But Carter’s years of volunteer presence with the organization in the U.S. and abroad, which was founded in Americus, just down the road from his hometown of Plains, was essential to Habitat’s success, Reckford said. The Carters first worked with Habitat in 1984, eight years after it was founded. At that point, Habitat had built fewer than 1,000 homes. Over the years, the Carter Work Project alone, a special program in Habitat that did construction drives in cities from Memphis, Tennessee to New York, has built, renovated or repaired more than 4,300 homes. The COVID-19 pandemic and the declining health of the Carters, both in their 90s, curtailed the yearly programs recently. Habitat has built more than 800,000 homes across the world. “Carter really put Habitat on the map,” Reckford said. “It was so unlikely to have a former U.S. president sleeping in a church basement and literally doing construction.” The couple also inspired large numbers of volunteers to join Habitat’s cause, starting with their first weeklong Carter Work Project in New York City’s Lower East Side, which attracted global media attention. Since 1984, they have worked alongside more than 100,000 volunteers at work sites in 14 countries. “The Carters have brought extraordinary international awareness to the great need for affordable housing and to Habitat for Humanity’s specific mission to be a part of the solution,” Reckford said. A skilled carpenter, Carter was always one to get his hands dirty. The former president was one of only two people to work on each of the first 35 annual Carter Work Projects, the other being his wife. “I’ve had the great privilege of being with them with heads of state around the world and also with some of the poorest people in the world, and I think the Carters are always the same in every setting,” Reckford said. “That’s an extraordinary mark of integrity.” In 2015, when Carter announced the growing threat and toll of cancer on his body, he didn’t allow the disease to stop him from working at Habitat builds. Carter received treatment for spots of melanoma found on his brain and planned to attend a build in Nepal that was eventually canceled because of a natural disaster and political unrest in the country. Instead, he worked at a Habitat build in Memphis in November 2015. He returned to Memphis a year and one day after his cancer announcement to host a Carter Work Project in August 2016. Reckford, who has been on several builds with the Carters, said Habitat volunteers were always eager to join the former president. “He worked hard, and he expected everyone else to work really hard. If he saw something he didn’t like, you would get that submarine commander blue-eyed gaze that you never want to get,” Reckford said lightheartedly. Carter’s involvement with Habitat also was an extension of his legacy as a peacemaker. During the 2006 Carter Work Project in Lonavala, India, Reckford said he saw cultural and religious differences dissipate. Two men from different faiths — one Muslim and one Hindu — and from different social castes were going to share one of the new duplexes. After participating in the weeklong build, one gentleman put his arm around his new neighbor and said despite their differences they were now brothers, Reckford said. “President Carter was such a great ambassador in breaking down barriers between people and building, both physical homes but building community in that process,” he said. Because of Carter’s involvement with Habitat, Reckford said millions of people worldwide are living in new or improved homes. “You have to admire the way he led his life, which was a life of service to others,” he said.

Hot on Milan's heels are Inter Milan, who are just one point behind their city rivals. Under the guidance of Antonio Conte, Inter have been a formidable force, with Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez forming a deadly partnership up front. The Nerazzurri are determined to end Juventus' stranglehold on the Scudetto and will be pushing hard to overtake AC Milan in the coming weeks.
The man, meanwhile, has reportedly vowed to continue his pursuit of the elusive prize, undeterred by his previous setbacks. Whether he will succeed in future attempts or decide to cut his losses and move on remains to be seen, but his story serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of chasing after seemingly too-good-to-be-true opportunities without exercising due diligence and skepticism.Photos: Remembering former President Jimmy Carter

WINNIPEG - The Manitoba government is looking to bring in tougher penalties for people who are convicted of impaired driving offences that cause injury or death. A bill introduced in the legislature Thursday would impose a lifetime licence suspension on a driver convicted of two such offences within a 10-year period. That’s an increase from the current 10-year suspension. The bill would also prohibit people convicted of these offences from driving with any alcohol in their blood for seven years for a first offence. “The consequences of driving impaired are tragic — for the victims for the families and the survivors,” Justice Minister Matt Wiebe said Thursday. “Ten per cent of collisions in Manitoba have impaired driving as a contributing factor, and enough is enough.” The bill was introduced on the last day of the fall legislature sitting and is expected to be debated after politicians reconvene March 5. The bill was welcomed by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, known as MADD. “We recognize that there is no one single piece of legislation that will solve impaired driving, and we welcome the government taking steps to deal with those offenders who cause the most serious harm,” said Tanya Hansen Pratt, president of MADD Canada. Pratt’s mother was killed by an impaired driver. The bill was introduced on the last day of a three-week session that frequently saw tensions rise between the governing New Democrats and Opposition Progressive Conservatives. Tom Lindsey, the legislature Speaker, scolded both sides of the house Thursday for over-the-top heckling and other behaviour. On Thursday, just after proceedings recessed for lunch, New Democrat cabinet minister Tracy Schmidt crossed the floor and confronted the Tories. The Tories accused her of aggressively accosting one member, standing over him and pointing her finger down at him while telling him he should not be in the chamber. “The language that was used, from a minister of the Crown, I’ve never seen anything like it. It was awful,” said Grant Jackson, the Tory education critic. He did not provide details or identify which of his colleagues was confronted by Schmidt. Schmidt, the environment minister who is also temporarily filling in as acting education minister, told reporters she went over to the Tory side because she had heard what she considered a racist comment toward the end of the morning debate. “I walked over to the member ... and said to the member that I felt that his comments were racist and I encouraged him sincerely to apologize,” Schmidt told reporters. Schmidt did not say what the comments were or identify the Tory she confronted. “I was immediately surrounded by several male members of their caucus who started shouting at me and telling me to get out of there, and so I got out of there.” Mark Wasyliw, an independent legislature member who was kicked out of the NDP caucus earlier this year, posted on social media that an NDP cabinet minister “lost control” and had a “face-to-face rage-filled direct confrontation” with a Tory. There have been other signs in recent weeks that the Tories and NDP are not getting along. The Tories did not support an attempt by the NDP to quickly set up an all-party committee to examine public support for journalism, saying that the NDP idea has many unanswered questions. The New Democrats have not supported a Tory call for an all-party committee on the issue of trade with the United States and tariff threats by president-elect Donald Trump. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 5, 2024.

Residents of Australia are being targeted in a strange new scam dubbed “brushing.” This occurs when recipients are sent unsolicited parcels from major postal services containing random, valueless items like ripped fabrics, stuffed toys, or stinky rags. Reports of the scam have spiked on social media , with many questioning its purpose and whether they should be concerned. Dad made his friend dig his own grave and kill himself after raping daughter Putin warned to end Ukraine war now to save Russian economy - 'guns or butter' One Sydney resident said they received a pink bag filled with scraps of fabric and a mysterious QR code. “I wasn’t sure what it was as I wasn’t expecting anything,” they wrote. “Does anyone know if this is something I need to report or what it could potentially be or why this has happened? Freaking out!” The scam serves two purposes: enticing recipients to scan a QR code that leads to a fraudulent delivery site , or allowing scammers to use the “proof of delivery” to post fake reviews under the recipient’s name. Another recipient described receiving emails from Australia Post marked with their personal details. “It had my full name, address, and number on it,” they said. Amazon warns against brushing scams, stating that third-party sellers are prohibited from using the tactic. “When a customer receives a package they didn’t order, it may be a scam sometimes called ‘brushing,’” Amazon explains . They urge recipients to check if the package is a gift and report suspicious deliveries using their self-service form. ACCC Deputy Chair Catriona Lowe advised consumers to stay vigilant, especially during the holidays. “Many Australians will be waiting for parcels to be delivered both ahead of Christmas and following the Boxing Day sales , and you can be sure that scammers will be looking to take advantage of this,” she said. Lowe urged people to avoid clicking links in emails or texts, even when expecting a delivery. Instead, he suggested checking directly with Australia Post or the courier .NEW YORK (AP) — Top-ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen is headed back to the World Blitz Championship on Monday after its governing body agreed to loosen a dress code that got him fined and denied a late-round game in another tournament for refusing to change out of jeans .

However, this rapid escalation in stock prices was not sustainable, and cracks began to appear in the foundation of the Chinese concept stock bubble. Concerns over regulatory uncertainties in China, particularly in sectors such as technology and education, started to spook investors. The Chinese government's crackdown on tech giants and the implementation of new regulations aimed at curbing monopolistic practices further fueled the sell-off in Chinese concept stocks.
