NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, widely regarded as the architect of India’s economic reform program and a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, has died. He was 92. Singh was admitted to New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences late Thursday after his health deteriorated due to a “sudden loss of consciousness at home,” the hospital said in a statement. “Resuscitative measures were started immediately at home. He was brought to the Medical Emergency” at 8:06 p.m., the hospital said, but “despite all efforts, he could not be revived and was declared dead at 9:51 p.m.” Singh was being treated for “age-related medical conditions,” the statement said. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh became one of India’s longest-serving prime ministers for 10 years and leader of the Congress Party in the Parliament's Upper House, earning a reputation as a man of great personal integrity. He was chosen to fill the role in 2004 by Sonia Gandhi, the widow of assassinated Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi . But his sterling image was tainted by allegations of corruption against his ministers. Singh was reelected in 2009, but his second term as prime minister was clouded by financial scandals and corruption charges over the organization of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. This led to the Congress Party’s crushing defeat in the 2014 national election by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party under the leadership of Narendra Modi . Singh adopted a low profile after relinquishing the post of prime minister. Prime Minister Modi, who succeeded Singh in 2014, called him one of India’s “most distinguished leaders” who rose from humble origins and left “a strong imprint on our economic policy over the years.” “As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives,” Modi said in a post on the social platform X. He called Singh’s interventions in Parliament as a lawmaker “insightful” and said “his wisdom and humility were always visible.” Rahul Gandhi, from the same party as Singh and the opposition leader in the lower house of the Indian Parliament, said Singh’s “deep understanding of economics inspired the nation” and that he “led India with immense wisdom and integrity.” “I have lost a mentor and guide. Millions of us who admired him will remember him with the utmost pride,” Gandhi wrote on X. The United States offered its condolences, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying that Singh was “one of the greatest champions of the U.S.-India strategic partnership.” “We mourn Dr. Singh’s passing and will always remember his dedication to bringing the United States and India closer together,” Blinken said. Born on Sept. 26, 1932, in a village in the Punjab province of undivided India, Singh’s brilliant academic career took him to Cambridge University in Britain, where he earned a degree in economics in 1957. He then got his doctorate in economics from Nuffield College at Oxford University in 1962. Singh taught at Panjab University and the prestigious Delhi School of Economics before joining the Indian government in 1971 as economic advisor in the Commerce Ministry. In 1982, he became chief economic adviser to the Finance Ministry. He also served as deputy chair of the Planning Commission and governor of the Reserve Bank of India. As finance minister, Singh in 1991 instituted reforms that opened up the economy and moved India away from a socialist-patterned economy and toward a capitalist model in the face of a huge balance of payments deficit, skirting a potential economic crisis. His accolades include the 1987 Padma Vibhushan Award, India’s second-highest civilian honor; the Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Award of the Indian Science Congress in 1995; and the Asia Money Award for Finance Minister of the Year in 1993 and 1994. Singh was a member of India’s Upper House of Parliament and was leader of the opposition from 1998 to 2004 before he was named prime minister. He was the first Sikh to hold the country’s top post and made a public apology in Parliament for the 1984 Sikh Massacre in which some 3,000 Sikhs were killed after then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by Sikh bodyguards. Under Singh, India adopted a Right to Information Act in 2005 to promote accountability and transparency from government officials and bureaucrats. He was also instrumental in implementing a welfare scheme that guaranteed at least 100 paid workdays for Indian rural citizens. The coalition government he headed for a decade brought together politicians and parties with differing ideologies that were rivals in the country’s various states. In a move hailed as one of his biggest achievements apart from economic reforms, Singh ended India’s nuclear isolation by signing a deal with the U.S. that gave India access to American nuclear technology. But the deal hit his government adversely, with Communist allies withdrawing support and criticism of the agreement growing within India in 2008 when it was finalized. Singh adopted a pragmatic foreign policy approach, pursuing a peace process with nuclear rival and neighbor Pakistan. But his efforts suffered a major setback after Pakistani militants carried out a massive gun and bomb attack in Mumbai in November 2008. He also tried to end the border dispute with China, brokering a deal to reopen the Nathu La pass into Tibet, which had been closed for more than 40 years. His 1965 book, “India’s Export Trends and Prospects for Self-Sustained Growth,” dealt with India’s inward-oriented trade policy. Singh is survived by his wife Gursharan Kaur and three daughters. Associated Press writer Sheikh Saaliq in New Delhi contributed to this report.
Trump selects longtime adviser Keith Kellogg as special envoy for Ukraine and RussiaCALGARY - The Alberta government did not consult with the oil and gas sector before announcing a sweeping set of plans it says it could use to challenge the proposed federal greenhouse gas emissions cap, industry sources say. Companies are still digesting Premier Danielle Smith’s move to announce a forthcoming motion under the province’s Sovereignty Act, which Smith said Tuesday will give Alberta the ability to assert ownership over its own fossil fuel resources. Tristan Goodman, president and CEO of the Explorers and Producers Association of Canada, said while industry insiders expected the UCP government would use the Sovereignty Act to take aim at the emissions cap, the details unveiled Tuesday came as a surprise. “We weren’t broadly consulted,” he said. A second industry source confirmed the lack of consultation, adding that companies on Wednesday were still trying to absorb what Smith’s proposals could mean. Goodman said companies need to see more detail, particularly around Smith’s suggestion that the provincial government could take exclusive control and ownership of emissions data collected at oil and gas company sites. “That’s where we would like to be collaborated with. We would like to be talked to, to see how that would specifically work,” he said. Smith also said the provincial government will consider instructing provincial authorities, such as the Alberta Energy Regulator, not to enforce the cap. And she said Alberta would consider barring federal officials from physically setting foot on oil and gas facilities. Goodman acknowledged some of these proposals will require the fine-tuning of details. “If the province wishes to ban certain types of other government officials from sites, we (the industry) are not going to get involved in that,” he said. “That would be up to the province to enforce that.” But he emphasized the oil and gas sector as a whole remains deeply opposed to the emissions cap, and is happy the Alberta government is standing up for the province’s No. 1 industry. “We agree with Premier Smith that these are provincial resources, and that the federal government is overstepping their constitutional boundaries,” Goodman said. “So we’re actually quite pleased to see the premier taking strong action and defending the sector.” The proposed federal emissions cap, which is still in draft form, would require oil and gas companies to cut emissions by 35 per cent below 2019 levels by 2030. The oil and gas industry has maintained that the proposed cap is unconstitutional and amounts to a cap on production that would severely harm Alberta and the Canadian economy. Adam Legge, president of the Business Council of Alberta, called the cap “the epitome of bad public policy” and said Wednesday he believes it would be open to constitutional challenge. “We support and applaud the provincial government exploring all potential tools to push back against this unfair and discriminatory policy, and have told the premier we would lend support to a legal challenge,” Legge said in an emailed statement. But behind the scenes, not all industry leaders are likely to be thrilled with Smith’s proposals, said Richard Masson, an executive fellow at the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy and the former CEO of the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission. He said he believes Smith’s proposals will come off “poorly” around corporate board tables in Calgary and be viewed as “another layer of complication and uncertainty.” “And I’m not even sure it’s going to have the desired effect of getting the federal government to back off,” Masson said. “It just looks like more fighting, more risk, and to companies, will probably look like another example of governments who can’t get their act together to try to come up with some kind of attractive investment environment in our country.” Masson said neither Smith’s proposal about restricting site access, nor her suggestion that the province could take ownership of individual companies’ proprietary emissions data, would be easy to carry out. “It doesn’t seem to be fruitful on any level,” he said, adding he also believes the suggestion that the Alberta government could help sell more of the province’s bitumen by marketing their royalty share barrels is unworkable. “It would be super complicated. It’s not a good idea,” he said. The Pathways Alliance, a consortium of Canada’s six largest oilsands companies, said Wednesday it believes the federal emissions cap will actually deter companies from investing in emissions-reducing technology by saddling them with an additional layer of regulatory complexity. “We appreciate the Alberta government is supporting and standing up for the economic interests of the province and Canada, and we will continue to work with Alberta to oppose the flawed proposed emissions cap,” said Pathways president Kendall Dilling in an emailed statement. Under Alberta’s Sovereignty Act, the government must first put a motion forward in the legislative assembly identifying a federal matter at issue and outlining potential steps the government should take to overcome it. Once the motion is passed in the assembly, the Act stipulates that Smith’s cabinet will then determine the legality of the chosen measures before taking action. Smith did not say when a motion will be put forward in the legislature. The federal government’s finalized regulations for the emissions cap are expected to be published in the spring. The federal government has maintained its stance that the cap is meant to limit pollution, not oil and gas production. But Alberta has said the cap would lead to a drop in production to the tune of one million barrels per day, resulting in large-scale job losses and leading to a five per cent loss in royalty revenues for the provincial government. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2024.
Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has urged President Bola Tinubu to direct the Code of Conduct Bureau to publish his asset declaration and encourage other top government officials, including Vice-President Kashim Shettima, ministers, state governors, and local government chairpersons, to do the same. In a letter dated December 28, 2024, and signed by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, SERAP commended Tinubu for his statement during his first presidential media chat, where he expressed willingness to consider asking the CCB to release his assets. SERAP described the President’s position as a “significant development” that demonstrates “intent, willingness, and commitment to leadership on transparency.” In the letter, SERAP emphasised that publishing asset declarations would curb corruption by limiting opportunities for public officials to abuse their positions. “Secrecy in the assets declared by high-ranking public officials to the CCB continues to facilitate corruption at all levels of government, especially in the country’s 36 states, the Federal Capital Territory, and local governments,” the letter read.

SERAP urged Tinubu to translate his consideration into action, stating, “Your ‘consideration’ would carry more weight if you were to promptly translate the intent into action by asking the CCB to publish your assets and encouraging your Vice-President, ministers, and other officials to do the same.” The organisation also urged Tinubu to implement the Supreme Court’s July 11, 2024, ruling, which prohibited state governors from taking over local government funds, noting that many governors continue to disregard the judgment. “Your intent, willingness, and expressed commitment to promote transparency in asset declarations should include prioritising the immediate and effective implementation of the Supreme Court judgment and holding state governors to account for contempt of court,” SERAP said. “The immediate and effective implementation of the Supreme Court judgment is the best antidote for reducing cases of state-level corruption and would contribute to addressing allegations of diversion of local government funds needed for vital public services,” it added.

A.An insane Black Ops 6 Zombies bug is letting players stack an unlimited number of Perks, multiplying their effects to achieve infinite health, absurd fire rates, and more. Dropping your points, grabbing a cold one, and guzzling down a fresh bottle of your favorite Perk-a-Cola is a time-honored tradition in CoD Zombies. There’s no better feeling than finally grabbing the Perk you’ve been hunting down and turning the tides on the undead. Yet with every CoD game, there’s a limit. You can only have so many Perks equipped at once, as to keep the experience balanced. With Black Ops 6 , however, that just went out the window thanks to an absurd bug that lets you stack an unlimited amount of upgrades. You can grab dozens of the same Perk and run wild on any given map. Juggernog can provide hundreds of extra health while PhD Flopper can turn your dolphin dives into nukes. The choice is yours and here’s how it’s all done. broke some sh*t on zombies got 52 perks, might need a patch. vid coming in a moment..... #BlackOps6Zombies pic.twitter.com/RMw9DmYsMM How to get unlimited perks with Black Ops 6 Zombies bug As first uncovered by Zombies player SpecDec and their friend, YouTuber Glitching Queen shared the exploit so the masses can enjoy it before an inevitable fix arrives. Proving the effectiveness, she revealed she had accumulated a staggering 52 Perks by round 15. Her eight Juggernogs provided a whopping 1,350 health, essentially turning her invincible. In order to execute the trick, you first have to glitch your Gobblegums to ensure you get the right ones in-game. There are a few in particular that are absolutely necessary for the glitch, so you must have them equipped. Two of these are Phoenix Up and Near Death Experience, two Gobblegums that focus on revives. The idea of the bug is to go down and be revived with all your Perks, plus a few extras. Related: One player needs to pop the Near Death Experience Gobblegum as soon as Round 1 begins. However, they mustn’t revive anyone. Instead, keep a crawler alive and let the Gobblegum timer run out. When it does, that player is then able to revive everyone else in the lobby for the rest of the game, and when doing so, downed players keep all their Perks. There is a slight trick to it all, however, as you need to stand far away from the person reviving when going down. If you’re downed in close proximity, the glitch can be finicky and not duplicate any Perks. While one or more players are down, the one who popped the Gobblegum has to go and pick up power-ups throughout the map. While these can be obtained from various Easter eggs, you can always pop the Raindrops Gobblegum to expedite the process. Once that’s done, simply head back to the downed player, revive them, and watch as 2-3 additional Perks are added. Repeat the process until your heart’s content and you can watch as the Perk icons fly off the screen with dozens piling up, Treyarch is sure to nip this one in the bud as soon as possible so don’t expect this exploit to be accessible for all too long.Liverpool head coach Arne Slot continued to play down the significance of their place at the top of the Premier League despite it being strengthened by their 3-1 win over Leicester. Chelsea’s surprise defeat by Fulham meant victory over the Foxes stretched their lead to seven points, with a match in hand, with the halfway point of the campaign fast approaching. But Slot is maintaining his level-headed approach despite the clamour growing around their chances of adding another title to the one won in 2020. Tonight's goalscorers 💪 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) “If you are in this game for a long time like the players and I am then 20 games before the end you don’t look at it as there are so many challenges ahead of you,” he said after Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah scored to turn around an early deficit following Jordan Ayew’s strike. “Injuries and and a bit of bad luck can happen to any team, it is far too early to be already celebrating – but it is nice for us to be where we are. “I don’t think there was any easy win for us in any of these games; it could have been an easy win against Tottenham but we conceded two and it was then 5-2 – that tells you how difficult it is to win even when you have all your players available. “That is why we have to take it one game at a time. The league table is something of course we are aware of but we always understand how many games there are to go.” Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy felt his side held their own until Salah scored in the 82nd minute. “I think we were in the contest for a result for a long time,” he said. “Three-one was the turning point in the sense the game was done there to get a result. “I think the 60th minute I remember a chanced for Daka to score the equaliser so we were in the game to get a surprising result. “We did well, we did what we could: a good start with the goal but if you speak of a turning point, 3-1 with Salah, the game was done.” Van Nistelrooy left goalkeeper Danny Ward out of the squad after he struggled in the defeat to Wolves and was jeered by his own fans. “The change in goal was one to make and the conversation with Wardy was impressive, the way he was thinking of the team and the club,” added the Dutchman. “I insisted on a conversation and of course it is a private conversation but what I want to share is the person and the professional he is. “I was impressed with that and his willingness for the team and the club to do well. “Really tough what happened for him. We are professionals but human beings as well, when frustration is being directed towards one person that is difficult.”
It looked like a recipe for disaster. So, when his country's swimmers were being accused of doping earlier this year, one Chinese official cooked up something fast. He blamed it on contaminated noodles. In fact, he argued, it could have been a culinary conspiracy concocted by criminals, whose actions led to the cooking wine used to prepare the noodles being laced with a banned heart drug that found its way into an athlete's system. This theory was spelled out to international anti-doping officials during a meeting and, after weeks of wrangling, finally made it into the thousands of pages of data handed over to the lawyer who investigated the case involving 23 Chinese swimmers who had tested positive for that same drug. The attorney, appointed by the World Anti-Doping Agency, refused to consider that scenario as he sifted through the evidence. In spelling out his reasoning, lawyer Eric Cottier paid heed to the half-baked nature of the theory. "The Investigator considers this scenario, which he has described in the conditional tense, to be possible, no less, no more," Cottier wrote. Even without the contaminated-noodles theory, Cottier found problems with the way WADA and the Chinese handled the case but ultimately determined WADA had acted reasonably in not appealing China's conclusion that its athletes had been inadvertently contaminated. Critics of the way the China case was handled can't help but wonder if a wider exploration of the noodle theory, details of which were discovered by The Associated Press via notes and emails from after the meeting where it was delivered, might have lent a different flavor to Cottier's conclusions. "There are more story twists to the ways the Chinese explain the TMZ case than a James Bond movie," said Rob Koehler, the director general of the advocacy group Global Athlete. "And all of it is complete fiction." Something in the kitchen was contaminated In April, reporting from the New York Times and the German broadcaster ARD revealed that the 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for the banned heart medication trimetazidine, also known as TMZ. China's anti-doping agency determined the athletes had been contaminated, and so, did not sanction them. WADA accepted that explanation, did not press the case further, and China was never made to deliver a public notice about the "no-fault findings," as is often seen in similar cases. The stock explanation for the contamination was that traces of TMZ were found in the kitchen of a hotel where the swimmers were staying. In his 58-page report, Cottier relayed some suspicions about the feasibility of that chain of events — noting that WADA's chief scientist "saw no other solution than to accept it, even if he continued to have doubts about the reality of contamination as described by the Chinese authorities." But without evidence to support pursuing the case, and with the chance of winning an appeal at almost nil, Cottier determined WADA's "decision not to appeal appears indisputably reasonable." But how did the drugs get into the kitchen? A mystery remained: How did those traces of TMZ get into the kitchen? Shortly after the doping positives were revealed, the Institute of National Anti-Doping Organizations held a meeting on April 30 where it heard from the leader of China's agency, Li Zhiquan. Li's presentation was mostly filled with the same talking points that have been delivered throughout the saga — that the positive tests resulted from contamination from the kitchen. But he expanded on one way the kitchen might have become contaminated, harkening to another case in China involving a low-level TMZ positive. A pharmaceutical factory, he explained, had used industrial alcohol in the distillation process for producing TMZ. The industrial alcohol laced with the drug "then entered the market through illegal channels," he said. The alcohol "was re-used by the perpetrators to process and produce cooking wine, which is an important seasoning used locally to make beef noodles," Li said. "The contaminated beef noodles were consumed by that athlete, resulting in an extremely low concentration of TMZ in the positive sample. "The wrongdoers involved have been brought to justice." New information sent to WADA ... eventually This new information raised eyebrows among the anti-doping leaders listening to Li's report. So much so that over the next month, several emails ensued to make sure the details about the noodles and wine made their way to WADA lawyers, who could then pass it onto Cottier. Eventually, Li did pass on the information to WADA general counsel Ross Wenzel and, just to be sure, one of the anti-doping leaders forwarded it, as well, according to the emails seen by the AP. All this came with Li's request that the noodles story be kept confidential. Turns out, it made it into Cottier's report, though he took the information with a grain of salt. "Indeed, giving it more attention would have required it to be documented, then scientifically verified and validated," he wrote. Neither Wenzel nor officials at the Chinese anti-doping agency returned messages from AP asking about the noodles conspiracy and the other athlete who Li suggested had been contaminated by them. Meanwhile, 11 of the swimmers who originally tested positive competed at the Paris Games earlier this year in a meet held under the cloud of the Chinese doping case. Though WADA considers the case closed, Koehler and others point to situations like this as one of many reasons that an investigation by someone other than Cottier, who was hired by WADA, is still needed. "It gives the appearance that people are just making things up as they go along on this, and hoping the story just goes away," Koehler said. "Which clearly it has not."

JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO has opened up about the "never-ending nightmare" his life has become due to horrendous knee injuries. The Argentine, 36, who won the US Open in 2009, played his last professional game in January 2022. He attempted a comeback last year and targeted a return to the US Open, but abandoned those plans due to his physical condition. Del Potro was plagued by injuries throughout his career and underwent his first knee surgery in 2019 having fractured it the previous year. Five years on and he has now had eight surgeries but is still in extreme pain. And the former world No3, who will play a farewell exhibition against Novak Djokovic in Buenos Aires on December 1, has released a video on social media documenting the torture he continues to go through. Speaking on Instagram , he said: "When I had my first surgery in June (2019), the doctor told me I would play in three months. I even signed in for three indoor tournaments at the end of the year. "After that first surgery until today, I’ve never been able to go up a set of stairs without pain. "It hurts many times when I try to sleep, when I turn on my side, or when I wake up because I get these sharp pains. It’s like a never-ending nightmare that I’m trying daily to find solutions and alternatives for, but I can’t find them. "It all started with that first surgery... every time I think about it, it stirs up so much bad emotion; it makes me really angry, very frustrated, but I can’t change it. "My daily life isn’t what I would like it to be. I can’t play [football], I can’t play Padel. It’s terrible. They took me the chance to do what I loved the most, which was to play tennis. "It’s very tough. There are moments where I have no more strength. I’m not indestructible. "I have good things, bad things, but most of the times I have to fake it and put a good face, but many times I feel terrible." Del Potro, who earned £21million in prize money during his tennis career, revealed he has even considered a prosthetic to relieve the pain. He added: "There are doctors that tell me that I can put a prosthesis so I can regain some life quality. But others tell my that I’m too young for a prosthesis. They tell me to wait until I’m 50. "But since I was 31, I can’t run, I can’t climb stairs, can’t kick a ball, never played tennis again. I need to wait 15 years more of this? It’s terrible. "I hope this will finish someday, because I want to live my life without pain." Del Potro's best Grand Slam performance aside from his US Open triumph came in his final appearance in New York nine years later. He reached the final at Flushing Meadows before losing to Djokovic in straight sets.Kellogg is retired Army lieutenant general who has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues.All eyes will be on the player-availability report when the Los Angeles Clippers play host to the Golden State Warriors on Friday at Inglewood, Calif. While the Clippers are moving closer to the season debut of Kawhi Leonard, the Warriors are pondering a day of rest for Stephen Curry on the first night of a back-to-back that includes a game at home against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Leonard has yet to play this season because of a chronic knee issue, but he did return to contact practices before the Clippers departed for a three-game road trip last week. Head coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard needed to participate in full practices before the team would consider the star's return. The Clippers have won three of their last four games to represent another high point in an up-and-down season. One of their most impressive victories occurred Monday, 114-110 on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies. Norman Powell continues to look comfortable in a leading-scorer role with 29 points, while going 4 of 8 from 3-point range. James Harden had 21 points, nine assists and eight rebounds in his do-everything point-guard role. Ivica Zubac controlled the inside with 20 points and 19 rebounds and added four steals. "Everybody's involved," Lue said. "It's not coaches and players. We're all on the same team and that's how we treat each other. It's not this side and that side. We're all together. We win together, we lose together, we make mistakes together. That's who we are." Staying a collective unit has helped the Clippers to excel on defense and that came to the forefront by holding the Grizzlies to 20 points in the fourth quarter. Memphis was well under its NBA-best 122.7 points per game. "To hold them to 110 on their home floor says a lot about what we're doing defensively," Lue said. Curry nearly pulled off an unlikely comeback for the Warriors on Christmas Day when he scored eight points in the final 25.7 seconds and made a pair of 3-pointers in the final 12.9 seconds. But Golden State could not overcome a 109-100 deficit with 1:30 to play despite Curry tying the game on a 3-pointer with 7.6 seconds left. Curry scored 38 points in what head coach Steve Kerr said was a "hard" 36 minutes. Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points with 12 rebounds. Before the game, Curry conducted a players-initiated meeting that stressed the urgency needed in the upcoming portion of the schedule. Even in defeat, the message seemed to be received, with Curry leading by example. "We're right in that window where we can still regain some momentum for the next however many weeks before the (All-Star) break," Curry said. "Or else we're in a situation where we're chasing down the stretch and nobody wants to be there." While Golden State did put forth a winning effort Wednesday, the reality is that the team has dropped five of its last six games. "We had a great vibe early in the season and we're going through it right now, but I love our guys," Kerr said. "High-character guys. They care." --Field Level Media
