Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Famer Jim McNally and late Buffalo Bills running backs coach Elijah Pitts are recipients of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Awards of Excellence, it was announced Tuesday. Offensive line coach Jim McNally, shown in the locker room at his alma mater, the University at Buffalo, in 2005. It’s a career accomplishment created by the football shrine in 2022 to recognize significant contributors to the game in “behind-the-scenes” roles. In addition to assistant coaches, Awards of Excellence are given annually to selected public relations personnel, athletic trainers, equipment managers and film/video directors. McNally and Pitts are joined as coaching honorees by Dick Hoak, longtime running backs coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lewis wears many different hats in the Bills’ secondary. McNally, 81, played and coached at the University at Buffalo and then spent 43 seasons in the NFL, becoming a legend among offensive line coaches. McNally entered the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals in 1980. He stayed there until 1994, reaching two Super Bowls and mentoring future Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz for all 13 of his seasons. Known by friends and colleagues as "Mouse," McNally had stints with the Carolina Panthers (1995-98), the New York Giants (1999-2003) and the Bills (2004-07). Then he served as a consultant with New Orleans for two years, the New York Jets for two years and then the Bengals for a dozen years before his “second retirement” in 2023. “I think it is satisfying partly because most of the people who’ve gotten recognized on the offensive line have been on Super Bowl winners,” McNally said from his home in Orchard Park. “I was on four Super Bowl teams, three with the Bengals and one with the Giants, and the teams didn’t win. So I think it has something to say about my contribution to the football world, whether it’s high school coaches, college coaches.” Besides his famed work for NFL teams, McNally has given coaching clinics across the country for decades, spreading his knowledge and serving as somewhat of a goodwill ambassador for offensive line play at all levels. He still spreads his knowledge with posts on O-line techniques on the social media platform X, where he has 23,000 followers. There will be a dinner in late June in Canton, Ohio, to honor the Awards of Excellence recipients. Pitts, who died at age 60 in 1998, was a five-time NFL champion as a running back for the Green Bay Packers. He served 24 years as an NFL assistant coach, starting under head coach Chuck Knox with the Rams in 1974. Pitts moved with Knox to the Bills from 1978 to 1980, then coached Hall of Famer Earl Campbell with the Oilers for two years. Pitts worked under Marv Levy as Bills running backs coach from 1985 to 1997. He was assistant head coach from 1992 to 1997. Pitts played a big role in mentoring Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas. Get in the game with our Prep Sports Newsletter Sent weekly directly to your inbox!

A Belfast-based astronomer has said a planetary defence mission with which he is involved will help scientists gather new data to potentially enable them to deflect asteroids which could crash into Earth Professor Alan Fitzsimmons, from the Astrophysics Research Centre at Queen’s University Belfast , has recently returned from ground control of the European Space Agency (ESA) Hera mission at the European Space Operations Centre in Germany. Hera, which was blasted into space on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at the Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral, Florida, is seeking to gather new data and insights about how to deflect asteroids. In September 2022, the Nasa Dart mission hit the small asteroid moon Dimorphos and changed its trajectory, as the first test of “kinetic impactor” technology designed to deflect asteroids. Hera’s job is to measure the mass of Dimorphos moved by Dart and discover the precise effect of the impact on the moon. Speaking about the launch, Mr Fitzsimmons said: “Probably the tensest time was not the launch itself, when the spacecraft was released from the Falcon 9 booster. “And then we were waiting for acquisition of signal because if we don’t hear that signal from Hera, we have no way of communicating with the spacecraft, and then controlling it from then on. “But thankfully everything worked out fine and the spacecraft is in perfect health.” Prof Fitzsimmons said: “At the moment it is not directly heading towards the asteroids that we are targeting, it is heading towards Mars, because we are going to use Mars’s gravity to redirect Hera into a rendezvous trajectory, and we will finally get to the asteroids that we are targeting at the end of the year 2026.” He said the idea of running a spacecraft into an asteroid at high velocity to change its course has been around for a long time. He added: “It is one of three techniques we think we can try. We call it the kinetic impact technique because we are using the energy associated with the motion to move the asteroid. “We have a couple of other ideas, for example we have something called a gravity tractor, where if we can hover a spacecraft close to a small asteroid then simply the force of gravity, the gravitational pull by that small spacecraft on that small asteroid, will slowly move it into a different trajectory without touching it. “Going the other way, we have what we call blast deflection, and this is the thing you normally see in movies, where you launch a large explosive device, probably a nuclear device, and explode that. “You don’t destroy the asteroid, you explode it above the surface of the asteroid, and that vaporises part of the surface, and that vaporised asteroid goes one way, pushing the asteroid the other way, due to the laws of physics. “That is something we could try in the future but we’d rather not use nuclear devices. We have had a treaty since 1967 not to use nuclear devices in outer space and we’d like to keep it that way.” Prof Fitzsimmons said while most large asteroids have now been discovered by astronomers, there is still a risk to Earth from smaller asteroids. He said: “Asteroid impacts on Earth are a natural phenomenon, it is a natural disaster just like earthquakes and volcanoes, hurricanes and tidal waves. Now, all those happen much more frequently. “Asteroid impacts don’t happen that often but when they do they have quite an effect, at least over the local area, and possibly they can have global effects. “This has been happening ever since the Earth was created 4.6 billion years ago, and if we do nothing they will happen again in the future. “Look at the dinosaurs, they were wiped out partially, if not solely, by a large asteroid hitting them. “They didn’t have a space programme, we do and we are at the stage where we could prevent this type of natural disaster. “That is important to realise, because we still can’t prevent a volcanic eruption or an earthquake or a hurricane, but it is amazing to think that this, albeit rare, natural disaster, we could prevent entirely, we could stop an impact actually happening in the first place. “That is a fantastic thing for our civilisation to have reached that point, so why not do it?” He added: “At some point in the future we know we will discover an asteroid that is going to hit us after that discovery point. “At that point we really will have to do something. The great thing is that all the work done by all the teams, all the engineers and scientists in their fields, are working towards that point. “We are getting more and more confident, not complacent, that if we do things right and we discover that future impact early enough, we will be able to prevent it.” For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here and sign up to our daily newsletter here.Odia Actor Manoj Mishra, Director Bobby Islam Fight Outside Police Station, Video Goes ViralOn Tuesday Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham wrote to President-Elect Donald Trump offering him the use of a 1,402-acre ranch the state acquired in October for the construction of deportation facilities. The site, Sheerin Ranch, is located in Starr County along a bend in the Rio Grande, which divides the United States from Mexico. Situated around 35 miles west of McAllen, it is currently being used for a range of agricultural practices. Addressing Fox News ' Laura Ingraham on Wednesday, Tom Homan , a former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) who Trump appointed as his "border czar," said the administration "absolutely will" take Buckingham up on her offer. Speaking to Newsweek the Texas General Land Office (TGLO) said the land was being offered to rent. In her letter to Trump Buckingham said she wanted to support "the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history." During a later Fox News interview she described Sheerin Ranch as "easy to build on," adding: "We figured, hey, the Trump administration probably needs some deportation facilities because we've got a lot of these violent criminals that we need to round up and get the heck out of our country." Trump made clamping down on illegal immigration, including mass deportations of those already in the U.S., a key part of his 2024 presidential bid. On Monday, via a post on his Truth Social website, Trump indicates he plans to declare a national emergency and bring in the military to support civil authorities with deportations. The TGLO announced it had purchased Sheerin Ranch on October 29, with Buckingham vowing to "partner with the State of Texas to secure this section of Starr County by building a fortified 1.5-mile wall." Newsweek has included two maps showing birds-eye views of Sheerin Ranch, alongside with the Rio Grande and other surrounding countryside. Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced plans to build a wall along the Texas-Mexico border in June 2021, though as of July 2024 only 34 miles of bollards had been constructed along the 1,254-mile border. In the purchase press release Buckingham added: "For too long, the federal government has abdicated its job to secure our southern border – endangering Texans by allowing hundreds of thousands of unvetted illegal migrants to stream across our porous border." According to the TGLO Sheerin Ranch, which exists besides a bend in the Rio Grande, is "currently a row crop farm that produces many industry staples, including onions, canola, sunflowers, grain sorghum, corn, cotton, and soybeans." On Wednesday Homan addressed claims some Democratic controlled "sanctuary states" could refuse to cooperate with Trump's deportation agenda. He said: "Sanctuary states said they're not allowing any detention facilities in their state—fine. Then we'll arrest them. We'll fly them out of the state and detain them outside the state, again, away from their families, their attorneys...You're not going to stop us doing what we're going to do."
The Colorado Buffaloes are engaged in a fierce battle with the Kansas Jayhawks in Week 12, and while the team as a whole isn't playing their best football, the same can't be said for Travis Hunter. The wide receiver/cornerback hybrid has continued to star, and he sent a Heisman-themed message with his latest touchdown celebration. Hunter has been on fire on the offensive side of the ball as of late, as he had scored four touchdowns over Colorado's past three games. And against Kansas, he continued to dominate in the early going, as he hauled in six receptions for 115 yards and two more scores through the first three quarters. The second touchdown of the day brought the Buffaloes within two points of the Jayhawks, and appeared to be a potential turning point in the game. After he found the end zone, Hunter struck the Heisman pose as his touchdown celebration, sending a clear message to voters as the regular season draws to a close. TRAVIS HUNTER SCORES THE TD AND HITS THE HEISMAN 💪 @CUBuffsFootball pic.twitter.com/62fAeYYpid Hunter has emerged as the clear cut favorite to win the Heisman Trophy this season, which is awarded to the top player in all of college football. With Hunter playing a big role on both offense and defense for Colorado, it's not much of a surprise to see him leading the pack for this award right now. While Hunter does have some serious competition for the award in Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty, his latest big outing against the Jayhawks will only further strengthen his case. And this iconic touchdown celebration could end up being looked back on as the moment where Hunter unofficially won the Heisman. © Nick Tre. Smith-Imagn Images The problem for Hunter, and Colorado as a whole, though, is that his big game hasn't been enough to push them ahead of Kansas. After he scored this big touchdown, the Jayhawks responded by scoring a pair of touchdowns, pushing the score up to 37-21 early in the fourth quarter. Losing this game would be catastrophic for the Buffaloes, and Hunter will do everything in his power to not only further solidify his Heisman case, but also help his team put together a late rally in this pivotal contest.

Aaron Rodgers insists there's nothing uncertain about his status for the New York Jets' game Sunday at Buffalo. “There's no way I'm not playing,” the quarterback said during a video call Tuesday. Rodgers acknowledged he has “a little MCL” issue in a knee, but added: “I've had a lot worse. I lucked out. I avoided major stretchage of the MCL.” Rodgers was hurt in the Jets’ 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday but remained in the game. “I’m gonna play,” Rodgers said of the game against the Bills. “It feels pretty good.” Rookie left tackle Olu Fashanu’s promising first season is over, though, as the first-round pick was placed on injured reserve with an injury to the plantar fascia in his left foot. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said earlier Tuesday that it was “just too early to tell” what Rodgers' availability might be, but he was optimistic about the 41-year-old quarterback's chances. “If I’m a betting man," Ulbrich said, “I’m betting on Aaron Rodgers to play.” Rodgers said he didn't need an MRI on the knee, the latest ailment in what has been an injury-filled season. He earlier dealt with knee, hamstring and ankle issues that hindered his play at times. One of the four-time MVP's goals entering the season was playing in all 17 games after being limited to four snaps in his debut last year because of a torn Achilles tendon. “I definitely felt like at midseason that was going to be difficult,” Rodgers said of playing in every game. “But right now, it looks like, for sure, 16. And hopefully get through this one and get to 17.” The Jets held a walkthrough Tuesday and their next full practice is Thursday, giving Rodgers some extra time to recover. Rodgers has 24 touchdown passes and eight interceptions this season, and he's one TD throw from becoming the fifth player in NFL history with 500 for his career in the regular season. While his plans for the final two games appear clear, his playing future beyond this season is uncertain. Rodgers has another year left on his deal with the Jets, but the team is looking for a new general manager and head coach. Whether the quarterback will be part of the new regime's plans will be a major storyline this offseason. During an appearance Monday on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers suggested he could be released the day after the regular season ends. He said there's also a chance he could be retained but acknowledged he's going to take some time to decide if he even wants to play in a 21st NFL season. “I think anything is truly possible,” Rodgers said Tuesday of potentially being released. "Whether it happens or not, I’m sure that there will be decisions that, I don’t think there will be surprises where there’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t know what we want to do with certain people.’ I think there’s going to be some decisions that want to be made the day after the season or a couple days after the season, so I don’t know. I’m just not naive. “There’s not zero percent in my mind. I don’t think it’s a high percentage. I think there’s probably a conversation to be had, but I’m just not naive to that being a zero percent chance. I think it’s more than a zero percent chance and less than a certainty, so somewhere in the middle.” Rodgers said he hasn't spoken recently to owner Woody Johnson and doesn't necessarily think the lack of any indication of whether he's wanted back means he won't be. “I would be surprised if there was a conversation now because there’s so many uncertainties,” he said. “There’s a GM that has to get hired, I would assume first, and then he’s going to be part of hiring the head coach, so I have to be in the plans of multiple people, starting with the ownership and then the GM and then the head coach." Rodgers added that if he's told the Jets want him back, it would mean they see him as an important part of trying to change the culture of a team that hasn't made the postseason in 14 years. “That’d be special to hear that,” he said, “but if they don’t, again, no offense at all will be taken.” Olu Fashanu’s season is over Fashanu had a solid first NFL season after being the 11th overall draft pick in April out of Penn State. He began the year as veteran Tyron Smith's backup before filling in at right tackle for two games when Morgan Moses was injured. Fashanu, who played only left tackle in college, also stepped in at right guard for an injured Alijah Vera-Tucker against Houston. When Smith was lost for the season with a neck injury last month, Fashanu took over as the starter and excelled in five starts. He was hurt midway through the fourth quarter against the Rams and was seen on crutches in the locker room after the game. Ulbrich said he believed Fashanu would need surgery, but the team later clarified that a procedure won't be required. “It's unfortunate,” Ulbrich said. “He's having a great rookie season. But at the same time, these injuries sometimes give you an opportunity to step back and really start absorbing some of the information as you were kind of thrown into the fire. He'll use it as an opportunity to grow, I know that.” Kicking carousel The Jets signed veteran kicker Greg Joseph to the practice squad and he'll compete with Anders Carlson for the job this week. Ulbrich said Greg Zuerlein, on IR since late October with a knee injury, also could be in the mix. Carlson, the fourth kicker used by the Jets this season, missed an extra point and a 49-yard field goal try late in the fourth quarter against the Rams. He is 8 of 10 on field goal tries and 9 for 11 on extra points in five games with New York. “We'll see how it goes and we'll put the best guy out there,” Ulbrich said. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Dennis Waszak Jr., The Associated PressBETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) — Bethlehem marked another somber Christmas Eve on Tuesday in the traditional birthplace of Jesus under the shadow of war in Gaza . The excitement and cheer that typically descends on the West Bank during Christmas week were nowhere to be found. The festive lights and giant tree that normally decorate Manger Square were missing, as were the throngs of foreign tourists that usually fill the square. Palestinian scouts marched silently through the streets, a departure from their usual raucous brass marching band. Security forces arranged barriers near the Church of the Nativity, built atop the spot where Jesus is believed to have been born. The cancellation of Christmas festivities is a severe blow to the town's economy. Tourism accounts for an estimated 70% of Bethlehem’s income — almost all from the Christmas season. Salman said unemployment is hovering around 50% — higher than the 30% unemployment across the rest of the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Finance Ministry. Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the top Roman Catholic cleric in the Holy Land, noted the shuttered shops and empty streets and expressed hope that next year would be better. “This has to be the last Christmas that is so sad,” he told hundreds of people gathered in Manger Square, where normally tens of thousands would congregate. Pizzaballa held a special pre-Christmas Mass in the Church of the Holy Family in Gaza City. Several Palestinian Christians told the Associated Press that they have been displaced in the church since the war began in October of last year with barely enough food and water. “We hope by next year at the same day we’d be able to celebrate Christmas at our homes and go to Bethlehem,” said Najla Tarazi, a displaced woman. “We hope to celebrate in Jerusalem ... and for the war to end. This is the most important thing for us and the most important demand we have these days because the situation is really hard. We don’t feel happy.” Bethlehem is an important center in the history of Christianity, but Christians make up only a small percentage of the roughly 14 million people spread across the Holy Land. There are about 182,000 in Israel, 50,000 in the West Bank and Jerusalem and 1,300 in Gaza, according to the U.S. State Department. The number of visitors to the town plunged from a pre-COVID high of around 2 million per year in 2019 to fewer than 100,000 in 2024, said Jiries Qumsiyeh, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Tourism Ministry. After nightfall, the golden walls of the Church of the Nativity were illuminated as a few dozen people quietly milled about. A young boy stood holding a pile of balloons for sale, but gave up because there were no customers to buy them. The war in Gaza has deterred tourists and has prompted a surge of violence in the West Bank , with more than 800 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire and dozens of Israelis killed in militant attacks. Palestinian officials do not provide a breakdown of how many of the deceased are civilians and how many are fighters. Since the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack that sparked the war , access to and from Bethlehem and other towns in the West Bank has been difficult, with long lines of motorists waiting to pass through Israeli military checkpoints. The restrictions have prevented some 150,000 Palestinians from leaving the territory to work in Israel, causing the economy there to contract by 25%. In the Oct. 7 assault on southern Israel, Hamas-led militants killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took more than 250 Israeli hostages. Israeli officials believe that around 100 hostages remain in captivity in the Gaza Strip. Elsewhere, Christmas celebrations were also subdued. Syrians protest after Christmas tree burned Scores of Syrian Christians protested Tuesday in Damascus, demanding protection after the burning of a Christmas tree in Hama the day before. Videos and images shared on social media showed the large, decorated tree burning at a roundabout in Suqalabiyah, a town in the Hama countryside. It remains unclear who was responsible for setting the tree on fire. In a video that circulated on social media, a representative of Syria’s new leadership, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, could be seen visiting the site and addressing the community. He said: “This act was committed by people who are not Syrian, and they will be punished beyond your expectations.” Germans mourn after Christmas market attack German celebrations were darkened by a car attack on a Christmas market on Friday that left five people dead and 200 people injured. President Frank-Walter Steinmeier rewrote his annual recorded Christmas Day speech to address the attack. He plans to acknowledge that “there is grief, pain, horror and incomprehension over what took place in Magdeburg,” while urging Germans to “stand together,” according to an early copy of the speech. Heavy snow hits the Balkans A snowstorm in the Balkans stranded drivers and downed power lines, but some saw the beauty in it. “I’m actually glad its falling, especially because of Christmas,” said Mirsad Jasarevic in Zenica, Bosnia. “We did not have snow for Christmas for 17 years here, and now is the time for wonderful white Christmas.” Planes grounded in the United States American Airlines briefly grounded flights across the U.S. on Tuesday due to a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive. Winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Meanwhile, the flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that 1,447 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed Tuesday, with 28 flights canceled. Spanish ministries bring seafarers holiday cheer In the port of Barcelona, Spain, volunteers from the faith-based ministry Stella Maris visited seven ships docked there on Christmas Eve to deliver Nativity scenes and the local specialty of turrón (nougat candy) to seafarers. The volunteers met seafarers from India, the Philippines, Turkey and elsewhere, said Ricard Rodríguez-Martos, a Catholic deacon and former merchant marine captain who leads Stella Maris in this major Mediterranean harbor. Associated Press writers Wafaa Shurafa in Deir al Balah, Gaza Strip, Melanie Lidman in Tel Aviv, Hannah Schoenbaum in Salt Lake City and Giovanna Dell’Orto in Minneapolis contributed to this report.
Former President Jimmy Carter died on Sunday at the age of 100. Foreign and business leaders celebrated Carter's humanitarian work. President-elect Donald Trump said the world owed Carter "a debt of gratitude." Former President died on Sunday at the age of 100. World leaders responded with an outpouring of support, celebrating . The Georgia peanut farmer turned politician served as president from 1977 to 1981. But he is perhaps most known for his humanitarian work after leaving the White House. Carter championed human rights and pushed for peace in various corners of the world. In 1982, he founded to focus on such issues. In 2002, Carter received a for his efforts to promote peace and human rights. Carter also played an active role with Habitat for Humanity until the end of his life. "My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love," Carter's son, Chip, said in a via The Carter Center on Sunday. President Joe Biden said on Sunday that he would order a state funeral in Washington for Carter. "Today, America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman, and humanitarian," Biden said in a . "With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us," Biden added. "He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe." Biden said that the love Carter shared with his late wife, , was "the definition of partnership" and that their leadership was "the definition of patriotism." President-elect Donald Trump wrote on that Carter's presidency "came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude." "While I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our Country, and all it stands for," Trump said in a . Trump had earlier criticized Carter's decision to hand over control of the Panama Canal to Panama, saying in a Truth Social Post on December 21 that his predecessor had " ." The president-elect recently accused Panama of charging US vessels "exorbitant prices" and threatened to retake control of the canal. Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama said in a on Sunday that Carter had "the longest and most impactful post-presidency in American history." "Elected in the shadow of Watergate, Jimmy Carter promised voters that he would always tell the truth," the Obamas said. "And he did — advocating for the public good, consequences be damned. He believed some things were more important than reelection — things like integrity, respect, and compassion," the statement added. President Carter taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) Former President George W. Bush said in his that Carter was a "man of deeply held convictions" who "set an example of service that will inspire Americans for generations." "President Carter dignified the office. And his efforts to leave behind a better world didn't end with the presidency," Bush said. Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Sunday that Carter had " ." "I will always be proud to have presented the Medal of Freedom to him and Rosalynn in 1999, and to have worked with him in the years after he left the White House," Bill Clinton said. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X that Carter led an "extraordinary life" that touched countless people's lives through his vision and generosity. As we remember President Carter's extraordinary life, we also honor the countless lives he touched through his vision and generosity. My thoughts are with the Carter family and all those mourning this incredible man. May his memory be a blessing and an enduring reminder of what... — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) Sen. Bernie Sanders on X that Carter would be remembered as a "decent, honest and down-to-earth man" for both his time as president and his later humanitarian work. "He will be sorely missed," Sanders wrote. US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg shared a tribute to the former president on X, writing that Carter's "leadership, intellect, and moral example ennobled our country, during and ever since his presidency." President and Mrs. Carter were also extraordinarily gracious and kind to Chasten and me, receiving us warmly at their home and making us feel like friends even as we sat amazed by their presence and grace. — Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg) Carter's passing also saw tributes pouring in from foreign leaders such as Ukrainian President , British Prime Minister , and Canadian Prime Minister . "He was a leader who served during a time when Ukraine was not yet independent, yet his heart stood firmly with us in our ongoing fight for freedom," Zelenskyy said of Carter in his X post. "We deeply appreciate his steadfast commitment to Christian faith and democratic values, as well as his unwavering support for Ukraine in the face of Russia's unprovoked aggression," he added. Very sorry to hear of President Carter’s passing. I pay tribute to his decades of selfless public service. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time. — Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) "Jimmy Carter's legacy is one of compassion, kindness, empathy, and hard work. He served others both at home and around the world his entire life — and he loved doing it," Trudeau wrote on X. "He was always thoughtful and generous with his advice to me." Also on X, shared a photo of the former president wearing a tool belt in front of a construction site with the message: "Today, we honor President Carter's lifetime of service and his commitment to leaving the world better than he found it. May he rest in peace." Today, we honor President Carter’s lifetime of service and his commitment to leaving the world better than he found it. May he rest in peace. — Tim Cook (@tim_cook) said in her that Carter was her hero. The philanthropist said she knew Carter best as a "global health advocate" who took on "diseases that impact the world's poorest people, like Guinea worm disease." "When President Carter left office, there were more than 3.5 million cases of this painful, debilitating disease around the world each year. This year, thanks in no small part to the work of the Carter Center, that number was down to single digits," French Gates wrote. "One of my favorite teachings says: 'To know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived, this is to have succeeded.' We honor President Carter by remembering that because of him, life is healthier, better, and safer not just for one life, but for millions," she continued. Read the original article on
