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.

A new Redbridge poll found 52 per cent of those surveyed either disagreed or strongly disagreed with the proposition that the government has the right focus. 40 per cent of voters said Peter Dutton was ready for office, slightly more than the 39 per cent who said he was not. Asked on Seven’s Sunrise if the polling meant Australia was “in the mood for change”, Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth said the government was focused on the cost of living, while the Coalition was blocking bills. Directing her comments to Liberal senator Jane Hume, Rishworth said: “You’ve voted against our housing bills. Blocked our cost of living measures. Fought against our energy price measures. Everything we’ve done, the Liberal Party have fought against it...” Hume repeatedly interjected Rishworth’s response, asking “Where have you been for 21⁄2 years?” “You spent a year concentrating on the Voice referendum,” she quipped. Meanwhile, on Nine’s Today , Nationals senator Matt Canavan also responded to the poll, saying Australians were poorer because “we’ve adopted a lot of stupid policies that deny Australians the use of their own energy resources that load our country with way too much red tape”. Last month, the Resolve Political Monitor found Australians hold Labor accountable for the financial pain of rising prices and the cost of housing. Thirty-six per cent believe the federal government is responsible for their rising living costs – far greater than the 13 per cent who blame global factors outside Australia’s control. The Queensland election was a month ago but the pomp and circumstance will happen today, with the Governor to travel to Parliament House to formally open the 58th Parliament, meaning there will be road closures in the city. Upon Governor Dr Jeannette Young’s arrival at the Queensland Parliament at 1.40pm, a 19-gun salute will fire from Kangaroo Point, and she will receive a royal salute from the Royal Guard, be invited to inspect the Guard, the Australian Army band, Brisbane and Queensland mounted police escort. She will then deliver the opening address in Parliament, outlining the priorities and objectives of the incoming LNP government. These are the road changes: President Joe Biden on Tuesday called Israel and Hezbollah’s ceasefire agreement “good news” and expressed hope the pause in more than 13 months of fighting will be the catalyst to also end the war in Gaza. Biden made his comments in a Rose Garden speech. He stressed that Israel reserved the right to quickly resume operations in Lebanon if Hezbollah broke the terms of the truce. US President Joe Biden administration has been trying to calm relations with Beijing. Credit: AP Biden added that the deal between Israel and Hezbollah “was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities”. The president’s comments come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security Cabinet approved a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, clearing the way for the truce to take effect. Netanyahu’s office said the plan was approved by a 10-1 margin. The late-night vote came shortly before President Joe Biden was expected to announce details of the deal in Washington. Earlier, Netanyahu defended the ceasefire, saying Israel has inflicted heavy damage on Hezbollah and could now focus its efforts on Hamas militants in Gaza and his top security concern, Iran. Netanyahu vowed to strike Hezbollah hard if it violates the expected deal. Read more about the ceasefire deal in the full story here.

Conor McGregor's 'name and likeness' will no longer be used by the company that bought the Irishman's Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand. This comes in light of the Dublin High Court awarding €248,603.60 (£206,556.03) in damages to a woman who accused McGregor of raping her. Claimant Nikita Hand alleged in her civil action for damages that she was raped by the former dual-weight UFC champion in the Beacon Hotel on December 9, 2018. McGregor has denied the claim and intends to lodge an appeal. 'Notorious' sold his Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand to Mexican-owned Proximo Spirits in 2021 for a reported $130million (£103.6m). McGregor had remained synonymous with the brand and was used in advertising campaigns for the alcoholic beverages. However, Proximo has declared this will no longer be the case going forward. “Since 2021, Proximo Spirits has been the 100 per cent owner of Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey,” the company said in response to questions. “Going forward, we do not plan to use Mr McGregor’s name and likeness in the marketing of the brand.” Earlier today, major retailers such as Tesco, SuperValu, Centra, Costcutter and Carry Out said they would no longer be stocking any products associated with McGregor. Tesco recently confirmed it is 'removing Proper No 12 (whiskey) from sale in its stores and online' while McGregor-owned Forged Irish Stout is expected to be dealt a serious blow as well. IO Interactive, the company behind the Hitman video game, is also ending its connection with McGregor. A character based on McGregor appears in Hitman World of Assassination but IO Interactive have since pulled the DLC. "We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications," the firm wrote in a statement on Monday. "Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr McGregor from our storefronts starting today." On the same day, McGregor took to X , formerly Twitter, to write: "People want to hear from me, I needed time. "I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. "I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. "That’s all on me. As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. "I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision. I can’t go back and I will move forward. "I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. "That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym- the fight game awaits!"

The big investment firms are rolling out their stock forecasts for 2025, and most are bullish on the US markets heading into the new year. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have each issued analyst notes calling for 10% growth for US stocks in 2025. Analysts at both firms cite stable revenues, stronger profit margins, and higher share growth tied to the Federal Reserve's pivot to lower interest rates in the second half of 2024, a trend that should continue into the new year. All told, Morgan analysts anticipate that 2025 will see a robust 13% earnings-per-share growth rate. Even so, there are significant hurdles for the market to clear next year. Here’s how to position your portfolio for 2025’s risks and opportunities. Citigroup analysts also shared a mostly positive outlook for stocks in 2025 in a December 6 research note. Standing at 6,075 as of December 11, Citi market seers are calling for the S&P 500 to land at around 6,500 in 2025, with a 6,900 best-case scenario and a 6,100 worst-case outlook. Like Morgan Stanley and Goldman, Citi’s largely bullish S&P 500 call points to good earnings growth, a solid US economy, and expanding demand for US stocks. Even so, Citi also cites headwinds in the form of higher stock valuations, Fed rate policies, a new administration in Washington, D.C., and growing pains for AI, which could crimp market performance. "Ongoing soft landing and Artificial Intelligence tailwinds now interact with Trump policy promises and risks," Citi analysts stated in the December note. Five Growth Factors for the S&P 500 Market mavens seem to broadly agree with investment banks’ bullish 2025 outlook—but not on everything. Here are the big issues facing stock market investors in 2205 and what those issues could mean for their portfolios. Team Trump is in power. A changing of the guard on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue should bode well for stock market investors, but there are some caveats. "The S&P 500's advance of 28% year to date (through November) is the second strongest 11-month start to a calendar year since 1997 and one of the best of all time," says Scott Glasser, chief investment officer at ClearBridge Investments. "With a trailing 12-month return of 34% – the 95th percentile of one-year rolling returns since 1989 – it's hard to describe this run as anything but spectacular." The incoming Trump administration shouldn't get in the way of more market growth. "With Donald Trump expected to bring a potentially lower tax and lighter regulatory touch to his presidential second term, the market expects a rise in productivity and unleashing of capital investment over the next several years," Glasser says. That touch should aid some stock sectors more than others. "In our view, the initial impacts of Trump's victory will likely mirror 2016, where value, small capitalization, and cyclical stocks were prioritized," Glasser says.

Click Here to Get Them ] A "wave" of new stock issues. In 2025, a wave of M&A and IPOs will be sound for markets generally and also create liquidity for shareholders, says Rebecca Kacaba, CEO at Toronto, Canada-based Dealmaker. " Additionally, I anticipate that more companies will capture the power of what retail capital can mean for their business," Kacaba says. "In 2024, we saw examples of this with Reddit's Direct Share Program (DSP) to the company's power users." Kacaba also likes long-term market plays that investors routinely favor in bull markets. "I'm bullish on growth stocks with a high percentage of retail shareholders because many of those investors are driven by community, affinity, passion, and purpose to the brands they invest in," she says. "We consistently see the community nature of retail capital to be extremely powerful." Rising threats. Other market gurus see potential threats ahead, with some leading economic lights potentially hindering a booming S&P 500. "Heading into 2025, I see a lot of bullish sentiment in the markets, but some undercurrents of trouble in the economy," says Jason DeLorenzo, founder of Volland, an options market data services firm. "The FOMC is trying to pivot to a dovish cutting cycle to try to head off an increase in unemployment before it impacts economic growth (also known as a soft landing)." For that reason, DeLorenzo thinks the markets can start on a bullish note in 2025. However, as Trump’s policies of tariffs, a shrinking government, and deportation contract the economy and raise labor prices, 2025 can end on a sour note. "Additionally, private, corporate, and public debt can cause liquidity issues in bank reserves," he adds. AI is in the limelight. Artificial intelligence stocks may transition down the sector food chain in 2025, with smaller industry up-and-comers shining. " While AI stocks are a bit overvalued at this time, AI is a technology that can revolutionize humanity," DeLorenzo says. "Large-cap AI companies like NVDA are a bit overvalued and need to pull back some as competition eventually enters the market." DeLorenzo believes AI startups and innovative AI companies "can increase swiftly "in value as large caps look to stay on the cutting edge "of the AI revolution. Stock valuations are increasing, which isn't helping stocks, but that's usually a bearish signal. "Inflation has caused a massive rise in stocks, and something that is not going away in the beginning of 2025," he adds. Wither the Fed? Everyone on Wall Street – and across the fruited plains, for that matter – wants to know what the Federal Reserve will do with interest rates next year. Almost certainly, any pivots or pullback on rates should roil the markets. "The biggest issue influencing the stock market in 2025 is likely to be the same issue that is dominating the markets today, and that is Federal Reserve monetary policy and interest rates," says Robert R. Johnson, PhD, CFA, CAIA, professor of finance, Heider College of Business, Creighton University. "Conventional wisdom is the Fed is going to continue to lower rates in 2025, and that is a tailwind for stocks." Johnson points to The CME Group, which compiles interest rate views via its Fed Watch Tool based on Fed Funds futures contract prices, as a beacon of information right now. "According to the CME's FedWatch Tool, the probability of the fed funds rate being at least 75 basis points lower at year-end 2025 than today is 76.6% in early December," Johnson says. "The probability that the fed funds rate will be at least 100 basis points lower at year-end 2025 than today." Most stock analysts say the Fed will cut rates substantially during 2025, but nobody knows for sure, maybe even FMOC members. "Having said that, this Fed has exercised great caution over the last few years — both in raising and in cutting rates, and I believe that philosophy will continue," Johnson notes. "If the proposed Trump tax cuts and increased tariffs serve to exacerbate inflation, this Fed would likely change course and exercise more caution." Here are some stock sectors that market experts like in 2025 Technology and robust retail plays draw high marks from market experts. "At the beginning of 2025, tech stocks can continue to grow after a pullback," DeLorenzo says. "But towards the end of 2025, I like defensive stocks and energy transportation stocks. Large-cap health care will be a good sector to be in, as well as commodities since many imported commodities will rise in price when tariffs are implemented." Companies with a high percentage of retail shareholders, such as Tesla, should excel, too. "That's because these companies have fervent communities, and that's a big driver of the stock," Kacaba says. To curb risk if events get volatile in 2025, Kacaba advises an alternative approach. " While diversification is usually what everyone advises, I suggest considering private offerings as part of that strategy," she says. "These investments often come with lower market valuations and longer time horizons, which can help balance the volatility of growth stocks and create a more resilient portfolio."

The NFC East-leading Eagles (9-2) have won seven in a row and play four of their final six games in Philadelphia, traveling only about 125 miles to visit the Ravens (8-4) this weekend and the Washington Commanders in Week 16. Sunday's game features the NFL's two leading rushers. Barkley (1,392 yards) and Henry (1,325) are far ahead of Green Bay's Josh Jacobs (944) in third place. Henry leads the league with 13 rushing touchdowns. Barkley (10) is tied for fourth and Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts (11) tied for second. The matchup also features two of the top candidates for Most Valuable Player honors entering Week 13 in Barkley and Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson, who won his second MVP award last season. Their competition includes quarterbacks Josh Allen of Buffalo and Jared Goff of Detroit, with Allen widely considered the favorite. "Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry are phenomenal football players that help their team win football games, and Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley are phenomenal football players that help their team win football games," Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. "Excited about the opportunity this week because it's our next one. It will be a really good opponent, really well coached, good players, good atmosphere that will be there. Excited about the opportunity this week. And we're going to have to be on it against a really good team." The showdown at M&T Bank Stadium also pits Baltimore's No. 1 offense (426.7 yards per game) and No. 2 scoring offense (30.3 points per game) against Philadelphia's No. 1 defense (274.6) and No. 6 scoring defense (18.1). The Eagles have held seven consecutive opponents to under 300 total yards, while the Ravens have gained at least 329 yards of offense in all 11 games. Philadelphia is coming off a 37-20 road win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night in which Barkley smashed the franchise record with 255 rushing yards. Baltimore also earned a prime-time win in Los Angeles, defeating the Chargers 30-23 in the "Harbaugh Bowl" on Monday night behind Jackson's three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing). Jackson said he's looking forward to the Barkley and Henry show. "I've known Saquon from high school. We were in the all-star game together and he jumped over somebody's head," Jackson recalled Wednesday. "So I've pretty much seen him before I even got to the league, college, anything. I've been knowing about Saquon, but Derrick Henry -- King Henry -- I'm with him every day and I'm seeing what he's capable of, so it's going to be a great matchup." Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith practiced Wednesday after sitting out Monday with a hamstring issue. Nose tackle Michael Pierce (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve. Tight end Charlie Kolar (broken arm) is out for several weeks and cornerback Arthur Maulet (calf) did not practice. The Eagles lost veteran defensive end Brandon Graham to a season-ending triceps injury Sunday. Wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed the win over the Rams and did not practice Wednesday. Neither did cornerbacks Darius Slay (concussion) or Kelee Ringo (calf). Philadelphia is 5-1 away from home this season -- 6-1 if you count their season-opening "home" victory against the Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Baltimore is 4-1 at home. The Ravens hold a 3-2-1 lead in the series with the Eagles. They haven't met since Baltimore's 30-28 win in Week 6 at Philadelphia in 2020. --Field Level Media

Mike McCarthy's future in Dallas has seemingly been in question every year since he's taken the job and this season is no different. At 4-7, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked on Tuesday whether or not it would be "crazy" to give his McCarthy a contract extension at the end of the season. To which the Jones replied that it wasn't. Later in the day, the head coach attempted to make light of Jones' comments when asked about them during his Week 13 presser. Tune in LIVE as head coach Mike McCarthy hosts a press conference from @TheStarinFrisco 📺: #NYGvsDAL 11/28 on FOX https://t.co/ah5huYyUFR "Why are you laughing?" McCarthy smiled . "Crazy? I mean... I really haven't talked about it all year, so I'm definitely not going to start on a short week and an important division game." "But I'm not going to throw away positive vibes either, so keep 'em coming," the coach added. "That's all good. But, yeah, that's not something I'm really focused on." According to Adam Schefter, " anything " is on the table when it comes to how the team handles its coaching situation. "Anything's possible. They have to play well down the stretch," the NFL insider told Unsportsmanlike Radio. "I think Mike McCarthy is a good head coach. ... To me, he certainly worthy of being kept in Dallas. Do I think it's going to happen? I don't think he'll be back in Dallas would be my guess today." Richard Rodriguez/Getty Images "But again, six-seven weeks to play out, they won on Sunday, all of a sudden we've got certain Cowboys fans dreaming of the fact they can make an unlikely push here and win some games and make the latter part of the season interesting." At this point McCarthy is likely numb to the talk surrounding his job security. But for now, his focus is on beating Tommy DeVito and the New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day.
