Diplomats from small island nations threatened by rising seas and impoverished African states angrily filed out of a meeting with summit hosts Azerbaijan over a final deal being thrashed out in a Baku sports stadium. "We've just walked out. We came here to this COP for a fair deal. We feel that we haven't been heard," said Cedric Schuster, the Samoan chairman of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). An unpublished version of the final text circulating in Baku, and seen by AFP, proposes that rich nations raise to $300 billion a year by 2035 their commitment to poorer countries to fight climate change. COP29 hosts Azerbaijan intended to put a final draft before 198 nations for adoption or rejection on Saturday evening, a full day after the marathon summit officially ended. But, in a statement, AOSIS said it had "removed" itself from the climate finance discussions, demanding an "inclusive" process. "If this cannot be the case, it becomes very difficult for us to continue our involvement here at COP29," it said. Sierra Leone's climate minister Jiwoh Abdulai, whose country is among the world's poorest, said the draft was "effectively a suicide pact for the rest of the world". An earlier offer from rich nations of $250 billion was slammed as offensively low by developing countries, who have demanded much higher sums to build resilience against climate change and cut emissions. UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the revised offer of $300 billion was "a significant scaling up" of the existing pledge by developed nations, which also count the United States, European Union and Japan among their ranks. At sunset, a final text still proved elusive, as harried diplomats ran to-and-fro in the stadium near the Caspian Sea searching for common ground. "Hopefully this is the storm before the calm," said US climate envoy John Podesta in the corridors as somebody shouted "shame" in his direction. Earlier, the EU's climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra said negotiators were not out of the woods yet. "We're doing everything we can on each of the axes to build bridges and to make this into a success. But it is iffy whether we will succeed," he said. Ali Mohamed, the Kenyan chair of the African Group of Negotiators, told AFP: "No deal is better than a bad deal." More from this section South African environment minister Dion George, however, said: "I think being ambitious at this point is not going to be very useful." "What we are not up for is going backwards or standing still," he said. "We might as well just have stayed at home then." The revised offer from rich countries came with conditions in other parts of the broader climate deal under discussion in Azerbaijan. The EU in particular wants an annual review on global efforts to phase out fossil fuels, which are the main drivers of global warming. This has run into opposition from Saudi Arabia, which has sought to water down a landmark pledge to transition away from oil, gas and coal made at COP28 last year. "We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially the small island states, to be ripped off by the new, few rich fossil fuel emitters," said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. Wealthy nations counter that it is politically unrealistic to expect more in direct government funding. The US earlier this month elected former president Donald Trump, a sceptic of both climate change and foreign assistance, and a number of other Western countries have seen right-wing backlashes against the green agenda. A coalition of more than 300 activist groups accused historic polluters most responsible for climate change of skirting their obligation, and urged developing nations to stand firm. The draft deal posits a larger overall target of $1.3 trillion per year to cope with rising temperatures and disasters, but most would come from private sources. Even $300 billion would be a step up from the $100 billion now provided by wealthy nations under a commitment set to expire. A group of developing countries had demanded at least $500 billion, with some saying that increases were less than met the eye due to inflation. Experts commissioned by the United Nations to assess the needs of developing countries said $250 billion was "too low" and by 2035 rich nations should be providing at least $390 billion. The US and EU have wanted newly wealthy emerging economies like China -- the world's largest emitter -- to chip in. China, which remains classified as a developing nation under the UN framework, provides climate assistance but wants to keep doing so on its own voluntary terms. bur-np-sct/lth/giv

Bank of America became FIFA’s first global banking partner in August and sealed a separate deal for a second event also being played in the United States, two days before the group-stage draw in Miami for the revamped 32-team club event . It features recent European champions Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea. “FIFA is going to take America by storm and we’re going to be right at their side,” the bank’s head of marketing, David Tyrie, said in a telephone interview Tuesday. Bank of America joins 2026 World Cup sponsors Hisense and Budweiser brewer AB InBev in separately also backing the club event, and more deals are expected after Saudi Arabia is confirmed next week as the 2034 World Cup host. While games at the next World Cup, co-hosted with Canada and Mexico, will be watched by hundreds of millions globally mostly on free-to-air public networks, the Club World Cup broadcast picture is unclear. FIFA has promised hundreds of millions of dollars in prize money for the 32 clubs to share but is yet to announce any broadcast deals for the month-long tournament. It is expected to land on a streaming service. “You have to think about how you are going to connect with these fans,” Tyrie told the Associated Press from Boston. “TV is one, sure, social media is a big avenue. “The smart marketing capabilities are able to say ‘Hey, we need to tilt this one a little bit more away from TV-type marketing into social-type marketing.’ We have got a pretty decent strategy that we’re putting in place to do activation.” Engaging Bank of America’s customers and 250,000 employees are key to that strategy, Tyrie said. “It’s going to be for our clients, and entertainment, it’s going to be for our employees in creating excitement. All of the above.” The Club World Cup will be played in 12 stadiums across 11 cities, including Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C, and Lumen Field where the hometown Seattle Sounders play three group-stage games. European powers Madrid, Man City and Bayern Munich lead a 12-strong European challenge. Teams qualified by winning continental titles or posting consistently good results across four years of those competitions. The exception is Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, who FIFA gave the entry reserved for a host nation team in October based on regular season record without waiting for the MLS Cup final. LA Galaxy hosts New York Red Bulls playing for that national title Saturday. Messi’s team opens the FIFA tournament June 15 in the Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium and will play its three group games in Florida. “The more brand players you bring in, the bigger the following you have got,” Tyrie acknowledged, though adding Messi being involved was “not a make or break for the event.” The Club World Cup final is July 13 at Met Life Stadium near New York, which also will host the World Cup final one year later.

Lou Carnesecca, a Hall of Fame coach who took St. John’s University to national basketball prominence and who was known for his quick wit and colorful courtside persona, died Saturday. He was 99. His death was confirmed by Brian Browne, a spokesperson for the university, who provided no other details. When Carnesecca took over as the St. John’s head coach in 1965, the university, while rich in basketball tradition, played as an independent. It had begun a gradual move to the Jamaica section of the New York City borough of Queens from the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn 10 years earlier, and its Alumni Hall athletic building was only 4 years old. With the founding of the Big East Conference in 1979, St. John’s began competing regularly against leading basketball programs. Carnesecca took St. John’s to 18 NCAA Tournaments and six NITs, including the 1989 championship, and his teams won the Big East Tournament championship in 1983 and 1986. St. John’s won 526 games while losing 200 in Carnesecca’s two stints there, from 1965-70 and then, after his three seasons coaching the New York (now Brooklyn) Nets in the old American Basketball Association, from 1973-92. St. John’s was ranked No. 1 in the two major national polls for five consecutive weeks late in the 1984-85 season. Led by the All-American Chris Mullin (a future St. John’s coach), Mark Jackson, Walter Berry and Bill Wennington — all New Yorkers except for Wennington, who was from Montreal — St. John’s reached the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four that season before falling to Georgetown in the semifinals. Midway through the season, Carnesecca caught a cold, and his wife, Mary, suggested that he wear a sweater for his next game. He went through his closet and picked out a garish dark brown one with large red and blue chevrons across the front, a gift he had received a few years earlier from a visiting Italian coach. He wore the sweater through a prolonged winning streak, though as Carnesecca remarked to reporters at one point, “It’s ugly, isn’t it.” Fans sent him sweaters after that, and Carnesecca began wearing them regularly at courtside while roaming the sidelines, dancing up and down as he exhorted his players to greater feats. Carnesecca, known to just about everyone as Looie, spent hours watching game films at his home, though he wasn’t always the most organized at times, as a former St. John’s trainer, Lou DelCollo, told it. “You’d pick up the reel that was labeled as the first half of the Georgetown game, put it on the projector and find out it was the second half of the Providence game,” DelCollo told the Los Angeles Times in 1985. Although Carnesecca never won an NCAA championship, longtime Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was highly impressed. “In sports you’re often judged by what you haven’t done,” he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 1991. “But what Louie has done is just incredible.” Carnesecca was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1992. Luigi Carnesecca was born Jan. 5, 1925, in Manhattan, the only child of Alfredo and Adele Carnesecca, Italian immigrants who owned an East Harlem delicatessen. He attended St. Ann’s Academy in Manhattan (now Archbishop Molloy High School in Queens), sitting on the bench as a basketball scrub, but he did experience a thrilling moment at the old Madison Square Garden on Eighth Avenue. “I was a terrible player,” he once told George Vecsey of The New York Times. “But I always wanted to be a coach. I was coaching little kids in the neighborhood, so they put me on the team at St. Ann’s, but I never played.” He added: “This was in the days when we played high school games in the Garden, and we were up by 40 points against St. Simon Stock, and the coach put me in, Dave Tobey, God rest his soul. “I was smart enough not to take the ball out of bounds, because, hah, I knew I would never get it back, so I got the ball and as soon as I cross the 10-second line, I let it fly. I didn’t even hit the rim or the backboard. The coach just took me right out of the game, and that was it.” After service in the Pacific with the Coast Guard during World War II, Carnesecca enrolled at St. John’s, where he got into three games as a junior varsity basketball player and played the infield for the baseball team. Following his graduation in 1950, he coached basketball and baseball at St. Ann’s. He returned to St. John’s in 1957 as an assistant basketball coach under Joe Lapchick, a former New York Knicks coach, and was succeeded in his high school posts by Jack Curran, who coached at Archbishop Molloy for 55 years. Carnesecca was named head coach at St. John’s when Lapchick retired. He won his 100th game in 1970, then left St. John’s for a lucrative contract as general manager and coach of the Nets. His teams made the ABA playoffs in each of his seasons and reached the league finals in 1972, losing to the Indiana Pacers. He had an overall record of 114-138 with the Nets. Carnesecca grew weary of the pro basketball grind. “It’s pretty hard to give the same halftime talk 118 times a year,” he said while announcing his retirement as St. John’s coach in April 1992. St. John’s renamed Alumni Hall as Lou Carnesecca Arena in November 2004. When Mullin was introduced by Carnesecca at his own Hall of Fame induction in 2011, he said, “I chose the best coach in the best city.” Following his coaching years, Carnesecca became a special assistant to the St. John’s president, working in community relations. St. John’s said in a statement that Carnesecca is survived by his wife of 73 years, Mary (Chiesa) Carnesecca; a daughter, Enes Carnesecca; a granddaughter, Ieva; a niece, Susan Chiesa; and a nephew, John Chiesa. In January 2001, Madison Square Garden raised a red and white banner emblazoned “526,” for Carnesecca’s 526 career victories in 24 seasons at St. John’s. “I’d be less than honest if I said I wasn’t thrilled,” he told the Times days before the ceremony, reflecting on how a boy raised by immigrant parents who ran a deli had succeeded in big-time sports. “I could have been slicing salami.” ——— This article originally appeared in The New York Times . © 2024 The New York Times CompanyTech-Led Surge: Nasdaq and S&P 500 Climb, Awaiting Economic DataOfficial Notification: Female Master Student "Sheltered" Incident - Involved Individuals Under Criminal Coercive Measures
