LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has launched the ‘Suthra Punjab’ Programme with a target of cleaning the province in three months. “The Punjab government was taking revolutionary steps to improve cleanliness in the province by starting the programme across the province; the government will ensure zero waste by cleaning roads and streets not only in cities but also in villages,” she said while addressing a launching ceremony of the ‘Suthra Punjab’ Programme on Tuesday. She further said that the government was spending billions of rupees on this programme to make the province neat and clean. “The programme was creating job opportunities for over 100,000 people while the government purchased the latest machinery at a cost of billions of rupees,” she added. She claimed that for the first time in Punjab, their government has brought a programme for uniform cleaning of cities and villages and under the programme; they would provide 21,000 modern machines and 80,000 equipments. She added that the government was building landfill sites in various villages and cities while the sanitation workers would get compensation under the minimum wage agreement. While castigating the Pakistan tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s recent ‘violent protest’ in Islamabad, she said that there was a need to clean ‘political waste’ otherwise they would continue to set public properties on fire. She averred that during the November 24 protest, the people of Punjab ignored their final call and she saw only a small number of people coming out onto the streets across Punjab. “In the past, the PML-N held protests and our protestors did not damage public properties,” she added. She lamented the PTI for resorting to violence whenever they announced protests, adding that the PTI attacked the federation and 170 policemen were injured during the PTI attack on the federation. Since 2014, the PTI never held a peaceful protest and warned that only peaceful protestors would be allowed to hold protests. She accused the PTI of using foreign nationals to create unrest in Punjab and the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were not involved in the bloodshed and violence. Copyright Business Recorder, 2024A s a few low murmurs broke out in a respectfully reflective House of Commons chamber after its historic vote on assisted dying in England and Wales, one figure in the public gallery had a special interest in the result. Back in 2015, Rob Marris, the former Labour MP for Wolverhampton South West, had tabled the previous attempt to pass a bill changing the law. It was comprehensively defeated. On Friday, he returned to the Commons for the first time since departing as an MP in 2017. The bill being discussed was remarkably similar to the one he had presented nine years earlier, but he and other advocates for assisted dying desperately hoped that sentiment among MPs had shifted. As the debate progressed and a series of MPs gave thoughtful and heartfelt speeches against any change in the law, Marris feared the opportunity would again be lost for another decade. So when the vote’s result arrived after five hours of dignified but impassioned discussion, it came as a surprise. “People who I expected to support the bill were not doing so in their speeches,” he said, moments after leaving the chamber. “I thought that maybe the tide was not with us. But there is still a long way to go on this bill.” He and other MPs who were present for the last vote on the issue noticed a satisfying symmetry after Friday’s vote. In 2015, 330 MPs voted against assisted dying for terminally ill people. Last week, 330 voted in favour of the bill presented by Labour backbencher Kim Leadbeater . That reversal was taken by some MPs as a neat reflection of a debate that had reached a tipping point. Yet just as Marris warned, others supportive of the idea now say that the hard work must continue to hold on to wavering MPs. For those in favour of change, the vote was a moment in which parliament finally reflected the long-held views of the public. Polls have regularly shown a majority in favour of assisted dying. The latest Opinium poll for the Observer found that almost two-thirds (64%) support making it legal for someone to seek assisted dying, while a fifth (19%) are opposed. But the current campaign to hand the right of assisted dying to terminally ill people with six months left to live gained serious traction over the past year. It began last December, with interventions from two public figures from outside Westminster. First, the Observer revealed that actor Diana Rigg had made an impassioned case to legalise assisted dying in a message recorded shortly before her “truly awful” and “dehumanising” death from cancer in 2020. Just days later, television presenter Esther Rantzen, who has lung cancer, revealed she had joined the Dignitas assisted dying clinic in Switzerland . Backing a change in England and Wales, she said there should be a choice over “how you want to go and when you want to go”. Meanwhile, former health secretaries Stephen Dorrell and Alan Milburn said they were backing a change. Crucially, Labour confirmed that, should it win power, it would make time and expert advice available for an assisted dying bill if MPs backed it in a free House of Commons vote. Keir Starmer had backed Marris’s bill back in 2015 and remains supportive of a new law. Momentum built in July, when Charles Falconer, who was lord chancellor in Tony Blair’s government and had first adopted the issue of assisted dying in 2013, introduced a private members’ bill to the House of Lords . But he and other campaigners knew that it was a vote in the Commons that was really needed to have any real prospect of success. By the autumn, the issue had become a regular public debating point. Yet it is a quirk of Westminster’s obscure traditions that when the opportunity for this sea change in social policy arose, it came not through public pressure, but via a small ball printed with the number 238. The ball – one of 458 in a bowl – was picked out at random in mid-September as part of the raffle to decide which MPs would have the chance to present their own private members’ bills. Leadbeater’s came out on top. Tory MP Nusrat Ghani, who had the task of picking out the balls, reacted with unerring prescience. “Well done to Kim,” she said. “You are No 1 and you’ll be, gosh, very busy indeed.” When it came, it was a vote that divided the closest of fellow travellers. Leftwing flag bearers John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn found themselves entering different division lobbies – one of the rarest of political occasions. Sign up to Observed Analysis and opinion on the week's news and culture brought to you by the best Observer writers after newsletter promotion McDonnell had recently reached the decision that he was ready to vote in favour of giving people more choice over how they die, while Corbyn continued to worry about safeguards. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage voted against the bill, but his deputy and former Reform UK leader, Richard Tice, voted in favour. Parties split, the cabinet split – and even families found themselves divided. Danny Kruger, a leading opponent of what he described as “assisted suicide”, is at odds with his mother, the television presenter Prue Leith. Yet the only real political fallout has been some anger aimed at Wes Streeting, the health secretary, who spoke out against the bill . Ministers had been advised to stay out of the public debate . While Streeting has talked openly of his fears about a “chilling slippery slope”, some in the party believe he sees it as a significant distraction from his huge task of reforming the NHS to bring down waiting times. But overall, there was broad agreement that last week’s considered debate showed parliament at its best. “I kept saying to colleagues that it would be a day where parliament shows itself in that way,” said one cabinet minister. “It nearly always does that at these moments. I knew there’d be no shenanigans.” Friday’s passing of the second reading of the bill is in itself a historic moment but, as Marris and others have said, obstacles remain before it becomes law, and the hard work for Leadbeater and other leading advocates still lies ahead. All sides of the debate now agree that proper time should be given to the bill to ensure that expert evidence is given, impact assessments are carried out and it is improved line by line where necessary. That will mean it will be studied and scrutinised by a cross-party committee for months, before re-emerging in parliament in about April. The 55-strong majority returned in the vote is seemingly robust in normal parliamentary terms, but the bill’s passage into law cannot yet be guaranteed. Some MPs backed the bill in order to continue the debate and are awaiting reassurances before voting it into law. Among them is former Brexit secretary David Davis , though the Observer has heard from other MPs in the same position. There are also the 31 MPs who did not record a vote, who could yet be crucial. More granular debates lie ahead. Looking back on Friday’s events, however, some of those involved in the assisted dying debate for years reflected on the fact that even with so many new MPs in parliament, almost all of them opted to grapple with the issue and take a view. “If that is the template for this parliament, it’s going to be a very, very impressive parliament,” said Lord Falconer. “Whatever else happens in this parliament, it will be remembered for this incredibly historic change.”A high school sophomore is hospitalized after suffering a traumatic brain injury during a Thanksgiving football game, school and police officials told the community in an open letter on Saturday. Rohan Shukla, of Sharon High School, suffered the injury during play and then collapsed on the sidelines during the annual game, officials said. "The trainer, coaches, and emergency personnel responded immediately, and the game was terminated," they wrote in a statement. Shukla was first taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton and then to Massachusetts General in Boston, where he remains in treatment. School officials said counselors would be made available on Sunday at Sharon High School. "Our thoughts and prayers are going out to Rohan, his parents Abhishek and Deepika, and his twin brother Naman during this incredibly difficult time," officials wrote. "While offering our heartfelt support, we respect the family’s privacy and consideration. As we learn more about Rohan’s condition, we will share it with our concerned community as appropriate." An online fundraiser for the family, which was shared on social media by both police and the football team, was closed after raising nearly $26,000. It said Shukla required brain surgery.

Cal staves off Sacramento State for third straight winLate kickoff return TDs by Turpin and Thomas spark the Cowboys as they end their 5-game skid

ATLANTA (AP) — A judge is weighing whether a Georgia state Senate committee has the right to subpoena testimony and documents from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as it looks into whether she has engaged in misconduct during her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump. The Republican-led committee sent subpoenas to Willis in August seeking to compel her to testify at its September meeting and to produce scores of documents. The committee was formed earlier this year to examine allegations of “various forms of misconduct” by Willis, an elected Democrat, during her prosecution of Trump and others over their efforts to overturn the former president’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. Willis' attorney, former Democratic Gov. Roy Barnes, told Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram during a hearing Tuesday that although the Georgia General Assembly has subpoena power, that power is not automatically conferred on a single legislative chamber or its committees. Even if the committee did have such power, he argued, the subpoenas in question are overly broad and not related to a legitimate legislative need. Barnes said the focus on Willis and her investigation into Trump shows that the committee was politically motivated and not a legitimate inquiry into the practices of district attorneys' offices: “What they were trying to do is chill the prosecution of Donald Trump and find out what they had.” Josh Belinfante, a lawyer representing the lawmakers, said there is nothing in the Georgia Constitution that prohibits the Senate from issuing a subpoena. The duly formed interim committee is looking into whether new legislation is needed to regulate the practices of district attorneys' offices in the state, he argued. “They are investigating and making an inquiry into these allegations that may show that existing state laws, including those establishing the processes for selecting, hiring and compensating special assistant district attorneys, are inadequate,” Belinfante said. The resolution creating the committee focused in particular on Willis’ hiring of special prosecutor Nathan Wade , with whom she had a romantic relationship , to lead the prosecution against Trump and others. It says the relationship amounted to a “clear conflict of interest and a fraud upon the taxpayers” of the county and state. One of the committee’s subpoenas orders Wills to produce documents related to Wade, including documents related to his hiring and payment, documents related to money or items of value that Wade and Willis may have exchanged, text messages and emails between the two, and their phone records. The committee also requested any documents her office sent in response to requests from the U.S. House, as well as communications Willis and her office had with the White House, the U.S. Justice Department and the House relating to the 2020 presidential election. And they asked for documents related to federal grant money Willis’ office has received. Before the deadlines in the subpoenas, Willis challenged them in court. Willis’ challenge was pending in mid-September when she skipped a hearing during which the committee members had hoped to question her. In October, the committee asked Ingram to require Willis to comply with the subpoenas. The committee’s lawyers wrote in a court filing that Willis’ failure to do so had delayed its ability to finish its inquiry and to provide recommendations for any legislation or changes in appropriations that might result. Barnes also argued that once the regular legislative session has adjourned, which happened in March this year, legislative committees can meet to study issues and come up with recommendations but do not have the power to compel someone to appear or produce documents. Belinfante rejected that, saying the state Constitution expressly permits the creation of interim committees and allows them to make their rules. Even if these subpoenas were validly issued, Barnes argued, they ask for too much, including private and personal information that is not a legitimate target of a legislative subpoena. Belinfante said the lawmakers are simply trying to do their jobs. He asked that Willis be ordered to appear before the committee in early January. He also asked that she be ordered to provide the requested documents and explain what privilege justifies any that are excluded. With a glaring lack of state case law on the issue of the General Assembly's subpoena power, that's one issue Ingram will have to address. She said she will consider the arguments and release her order as soon as she can. Willis and Wade have acknowledged that they had a relationship but have said it began after he was hired and ended before the indictment against Trump was filed. Trump and other defendants argued that the relationship created a conflict of interest that should disqualify Willis and her office from continuing with her prosecution of the case. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled in March that Willis’ actions showed a “tremendous lapse in judgment,” but he did not find a conflict of interest that would disqualify Willis. He said she could continue her prosecution as long as Wade stepped aside, which he did. Trump and others have appealed that ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals, and that appeal remains pending.ROSEN, LEADING INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Unisys Corporation Investors to Inquire About Securities Class Action Investigation – UIS

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming education, with schools and universities increasingly experimenting with AI chatbots to assist students in self-directed learning. These digital assistants offer immediate feedback, answer questions and guide students through complex material. For teachers, the chatbots can reduce their workload by helping them provide scalable and personalised feedback to students. But what makes an effective AI teaching assistant? Should it be warm and friendly or professional and competent? What are the potential pitfalls of integrating such technology into the classroom? Our ongoing research explores student preferences, highlighting the benefits and challenges of using AI chatbots in education. Warm or competent? We developed two AI chatbots – John and Jack. Both chatbots were designed to assist university students with self-directed learning tasks but differed in their personas and interaction styles. John, the “warm” chatbot, featured a friendly face and casual attire. His communication style was encouraging and empathetic, using phrases like “spot on!” and “great progress! Keep it up!”. When students faced difficulties, John responded with support: “It looks like this part might be tricky. I’m here to help!” His demeanour aimed to create a comfortable and approachable learning environment. Jack, the “competent” chatbot, had an authoritative appearance with formal business attire. His responses were clear and direct, such as “correct” or “good! This is exactly what I was looking for.” When identifying problems, he was straightforward: “I see some issues here. Let’s identify where it can be improved.” Jack’s persona was intended to convey professionalism and efficiency. We introduced the chatbots to university students during their self-directed learning activities. We then collected data through surveys and interviews about their experiences. Distinct preferences We found there were distinct preferences among the students. Those from engineering backgrounds tended to favour Jack’s straightforward and concise approach. One engineering student commented: Jack felt like someone I could take more seriously. He also pointed out a few additional things that John hadn’t when asked the same question. This suggests a professional and efficient interaction style resonated with students who value precision and directness in their studies. Other students appreciated John’s friendly demeanour and thorough explanations. They found his approachable style helpful, especially when grappling with complex concepts. One student noted: John’s encouraging feedback made me feel more comfortable exploring difficult topics. Interestingly, some students desired a balance between the two styles. They valued John’s empathy but also appreciated Jack’s efficiency. The weaknesses of Jack and John While many students found the AI chatbots helpful, several concerns and potential weaknesses were highlighted. Some felt the chatbots occasionally provided superficial responses that lacked depth. As one student remarked: Sometimes, the answers felt generic and didn’t fully address my question. There is also a risk of students becoming too dependent on AI assistance, potentially hindering the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. One student admitted: I worry that always having instant answers could make me less inclined to figure things out on my own. The chatbots also sometimes struggled with understanding the context or nuances of complex questions. A student noted: When I asked about a specific case study, the chatbot couldn’t grasp the intricacies and gave a broad answer. This underscored AI’s challenges in interpreting complex human language and specialised content. Privacy and data security concerns were also raised. Some students were uneasy about the data collected during interactions. Additionally, potential biases in AI responses were a significant concern. Since AI systems learn from existing data, they can inadvertently perpetuate biases present in their training material. Future-proofing classrooms The findings highlight the need for a balanced approach in incorporating AI into education. Offering students options to customise their AI assistant’s persona could cater to diverse preferences and learning styles. Enhancing the AI’s ability to understand context and provide deeper, more nuanced responses is also essential. Human oversight remains crucial. Teachers should continue to play a central role, guiding students and addressing areas where AI falls short. AI should be seen as a tool to augment, not replace, human educators. By collaborating with AI, educators can focus on fostering critical thinking and creativity, skills AI cannot replicate. Another critical aspect is addressing privacy and bias. Institutions must implement robust data privacy policies and regularly audit AI systems to minimise biases and ensure ethical use. Transparent communication about how data is used and protected can alleviate student concerns. The nuances of AI in classrooms Our study is ongoing, and we plan to expand it to include more students across different courses and educational levels. This broader scope will help us better understand the nuances of student interactions with AI teaching assistants. By acknowledging both the strengths and weaknesses of AI chatbots, we aim to inform the development of tools that enhance learning outcomes while addressing potential challenges. The insights from this research could significantly impact how universities design and implement AI teaching assistants in the future. By tailoring AI tools to meet diverse student needs and addressing the identified issues, educational institutions can leverage AI to create more personalised and effective learning experiences. This research was completed with Guy Bate and Shohil Kishore. The authors would also like to acknowledge the support of Soul Machines in providing the AI technology used in this research.Given his MVP-candidate status, or simply being one of the best quarterbacks in the league, Josh Allen didn’t have a great game by his standards. It wasn’t even a good game, as the Bills quarterback completed just 16 of 29 passes against the Patriots for 154 yards, with a touchdown and interception. The Bills had entered Sunday’s contest with the Patriots averaging 31.8 points per game, while putting up 40 ppg their last three games alone. They didn’t come close to hitting either total during their 24-21 win over the Pats in bone-chilling conditions at Highmark Stadium. Allen was dealing with some numbness in the fingers of his throwing hand, presumably from a stinger, but didn’t use that as an excuse. He credited the Patriots defense for making it difficult to throw the football. “They played a lot of man (coverage) ... they were undercutting some of our crossing routes,” Allen said after the game. “It’s something we’ll look at and try to get some counters to.” The Patriots started fast, and had a lead at halftime before mistakes short-circuited their effort in the second half, with the Bills taking advantage of the miscues. “That’s a better team than their record shows,” Allen said. “And these division games are tough. It’s someone that we’re used to. They’ve seen us quite a bit over the last few years. They came out ready to play today.”A designated disability minister will be appointed to each Government department to “champion disability inclusion and accessibility”, the Government has announced. Work and pensions minister Sir Stephen Timms said the move aims to drive “real improvements” for disabled people, whom the ministers will be encouraged to engage with on a regular basis. He told the Commons: “I am very pleased to be able to announce today the appointment of new lead ministers for disability in each Government department, they will represent the interests of disabled people, champion disability inclusion and accessibility within their departments. “I’m going to chair regular meetings with them and will encourage them to engage directly with disabled people and their representative organisations, as they take forward their departmental priorities. “And I look forward to this new group of lead ministers for disability together driving real improvements across Government for disabled people.” This came during an adjournment debate on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, where Liberal Democrat MP Steve Darling raised concerns about “floating bus stops”, which have a cycle lane between the stop and the pavement. Intervening, the MP for Torbay, who is registered blind, said: “The Government needs to ban floating bus stops.” Sir Stephen said: “I do think this issue about floating bus stops is an important issue which we need to work across Government to reflect on.” Labour MP Debbie Abrahams, who led the debate, had earlier criticised the lack of accessibility for disabled people on trains. The Oldham East and Saddleworth MP said: “Our train network does not have level access, and we heard Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson from the other place make this plea back in the summer, absolutely outrageous what she was put through. “But I was absolutely shocked to find, when I had a presentation of the TransPennine route upgrade, that the rolling stock yet to be commissioned is not going to provide that level access. “It’s absolute nonsense, it’s not even in the design of that procurement, so we must do better than this.”

NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Sunday exhorted the youth, especially those without a family background in politics, to enter the political arena and participate in national development, reiterating a call he made after the BJP-headed Mahayuti's thumping victory in the Maharashtra assembly polls on Saturday. In the 116th episode of his monthly ' Mann Ki Baat ' radio broadcast, Modi, while urging youngsters to enter politics, invited them to participate in the ' Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue ', which will be held from Jan 11-12 in Delhi. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who got whom IPL 2025 Auction: Updated Full Team Squads "You might remember that from the ramparts of the Red Fort, I have urged youths to join politics, none of whose family members or even the entire family have had a political background," the PM said, adding that to connect one lakh such youngsters with politics, many special campaigns and initiatives - the dialogue being one of them -will be run in the country. To mark NCC Day, the PM shared his experience as a cadet of the National Cadet Corps. "I myself have been an NCC cadet, so I can say with full confidence that the experience I got from it is invaluable for me. The NCC instills a spirit of discipline, leadership, and service in the youth," he said. Mentioning that the young leaders dialogue will coincide with Swami Vivekananda's 162nd birth anniversary, the PM said, "... This time it will be celebrated in a very special way. On this occasion, a 'maha kumbh' of young minds is going to be held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi on Jan 11 and 12. Crores of youth from all over India will participate in it." He added that 2,000 youngsters, selected from villages, blocks, districts, and states, will gather at the event. "Experts from the country and abroad" will attend the dialogue, he said. "The youth will get an opportunity to present their ideas directly before us," the PM said. Citing examples of young individuals assisting senior citizens with digital life certificates and raising awareness about cybercrimes like 'digital arrest', he said, "We have to explain to people again and again that there is no provision of digital arrest in the govt; this (digital arrest) is a blatant lie."
