LeBron James is going to have to make room for the NFL. Wednesday's doubleheader on Netflix set records as the most-streamed NFL games in U.S. history, with numbers nearly five times more than the NBA. The Baltimore Ravens' 31-2 victory over the Houston Texans averaged 24.3 million while Kansas City's 29-10 win at Pittsburgh averaged 24.1 according to early viewer figures released by Nielsen on Thursday. Nielsen also said there were 65 million U.S. viewers who tuned in for at least one minute of one of the two games. The NBA's five-game slate averaged about 5.25 million viewers per game across ABC, ESPN and its platforms, according to the league and Nielsen. “I love the NFL,” James said in his televised postgame interview Wednesday night. “But Christmas is our day.” While the NBA's Christmas lineup has its best viewer numbers in five years, the NFL has made Christmas one of its tentpole events during the regular season, joining Kickoff Weekend and Thanksgiving. “The numbers speak for themselves and LeBron can have his own view, and I’m sure more people will look at that because of this," said Hans Schroeder, the executive vice president of NFL Media. "But, you know, we’re focused on the NFL and we’re thrilled with the results this year with the Christmas on Netflix and we’re excited to continue to build that over the next couple of years.” Both NFL games surpassed the previous mark of 23 million for last season’s AFC wild-card game between the Miami Dolphins and Chiefs on Peacock. Viewership for Ravens-Texans peaked with the Beyoncé Bowl. The 20-minute halftime performance averaged over 27 million viewers. The viewer figures include the audience on Netflix, mobile viewership on NFL+ and those who tuned in on CBS stations in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Baltimore and Houston. Global ratings and final U.S. numbers are expected to be available on Tuesday. The NFL's Christmas numbers decreased from last season, but not at the rate that usually happens when something goes from broadcast to streaming. Last year’s three games averaged 28.68 million viewers. The early afternoon contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Chiefs led the way, averaging 29.48 million on CBS. Once global and Netflix's first-party data is released, both Christmas games should surpass 30 million. The NBA's lineup saw an 84% rise over 2023. One reason for the increase is that all five games were on ABC, compared to two last year. The Los Angeles Lakers’ 115-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors — a game pitting Olympic teammates LeBron James and Stephen Curry — averaged 7.76 million viewers and peaked with about 8.32 million viewers toward the end of the contest, the league said. Those numbers represent the most-watched NBA regular season game in five years. The NBA said all five Christmas games on its schedule — San Antonio at New York in Victor Wembanyama's holiday debut, Minnesota at Dallas, Philadelphia at Boston, Denver at Phoenix and Lakers-Warriors — saw year-over-year viewership increases. Wednesday's numbers pushed NBA viewership for the season across ESPN platforms to up 4% over last season. The league also saw more than 500 million video views on its social media platforms Wednesday, a new record. For the NBA, those are all good signs amid cries that NBA viewership is hurting. “Ratings are down a bit at beginning of the season. But cable television viewership is down double digits so far this year versus last year," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said earlier this month. “You know, we’re almost at the inflection point where people are watching more programing on streaming than they are on traditional television. And it’s a reason why for our new television deals, which we enter into next year, every game is going to be available on a streaming service.” Part of that new package of television deals that the NBA is entering into next season also increases the number of regular season games broadcast on television from 15 to 75.

There are many wonderful ways to kid yourself. Take the matter of fleeing Delhi for better climes. Not to the hills till the air gets clearer. Or a nice trip to Sussex where England is still twee and the Patels love their bangers and mash. I'm talking about getting out of Delhi and its emasculating toxicity for good. Or, at least when it unChernobyls. Assembly Election Results Live Updates Maharashtra Election Results Jharkhand Election Results Bypoll Election Results Wealth is one way to kid oneself, a compelling way, I must admit. I came to Delhi from Kolkata like Dick Whittington and his cat came from Lancashire to London, and Haji Mastan from Ramanathapuram to Bombay - to seek my fortune. Being in Delhi through the first 20-odd years of the century did feel rich, even though I am yet to host my own iftar or Holi party owing to the lack of a garden. But my beloved Delhi has put on airs - very 'Third World' ones - for some time now. Oh, I did see magnificent sapphire blue skies in September above Lodhi Garden. But that's the thing - all the things about Delhi's siren song that enamoured me have only resulted in my boat being dashed against the rocks. All the air-purifiers and N-95 masks of Arabia will not steady this draining breath. Stephen Hawking's editors told him that for every mathematical formula he included in his 1988 A Brief History of Time, the readership would halve. Similarly, barring for the purpose of comparing AQIs - 'Hey, it's 527 here at Ashok Vihar!' 'Damn, GK 2 is stuck at 256!' - eyes now glaze over these numbers like Piyush Goyal's many targets for the economy. And with it comes this Delhi dystopia being normalised. Delhi's air poisoning is already great fodder for wisecracks and memes. 'Real men smoke, legends breathe Delhi air,' and an opaque grey picture with the caption, 'Woman in a thong standing at India Gate' are, so far, my personal favourites. For those outside Delhi, no matter how crumbly or cretinous outdoors there may be, everyone's loving some solid schadenfreude. Colaba's AQI 142 ('poor') or Ballygunge's 241 ('unhealthy') on Wednesday afternoon elicit silent sneers as fancypants Delhi is seen getting its comeuppance.

(When summers got too oppressive, they moved to Kabul anyway.) And I bet my bottom gold mohur that the Brits shifted the capital (and considerable capital) from Calcutta to Delhi not just for the reasons cited by viceroy Charles Hardinge in his 1911 letter to his London bosses - more central location, less political dissent, closeness to Shimla the summer capital since 1864, geopolitical lineage of the Mughals - but primarily for the muggy, intolerable, mosquito-infested summer heat of Calcutta made worse by its hot-headed citizens. One feature of any Third World power is its ability to normalise, nay, celebrate what better-off societies recoil to in horror or disgust. This applies to poverty, filth, banal savagery, lack of civic sense, not valuing human life or dignity when it comes to their own 'People Like Them'. Not getting too finicky about public hygiene or quality service is worn like a badge of honour. 'We are like this only' is a brag, not an excuse. Delhi's filthy air and living with it has, despite the season's whinings, joined this dubious hit-me parade. Those wishing to linger on in the diabolical airwaves of Delhi, please do so. That's why poems like Felicia Dorothea Hemans' 1826 'Casabianca', with its opening lines, 'The boy stood on the burning deck/ Whence all but he had fled;/ The flame that lit the battle's wreck/ Shone round him o'er the dead,' valourise suicide. And that's why the city's apocalyptic 'season' will be followed by prophylactic garden parties. That's also why by February, March tops, Delhi's citizens will be scoffing at the coughs they coughed in November. When a city makes its wealthiest stay quarantined indoors for weeks, providing a post-apocalyptic view from bay windows, and has the rest of its citizens run on fumes, it's obvious as oxygen that Dilli, meri jaan, is the place you are now meant to leave behind.

TOKYO , Dec. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Representatives from China and Japan shared their insights on promoting artificial intelligence (AI) governance and data sharing at a sub-forum of the 20th Beijing-Tokyo Forum in Tokyo recently. The sub-forum contributed eastern wisdom to AI governance and digital social development, demonstrating the significance of international cooperation for the development of the digital economy, according to Gao Shaolin, advisor at Peking University's Legal Artificial Intelligence Research Center. AI governance framework The participants agreed that the next 10 years will be a critical period for the development of AI. Gao Wen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), said since China's State Council issued a guideline on developing AI in 2017, the nation has made significant progress in AI research and development and industrial layout, especially in computing power and 5G network construction. By the end of 2023, China had over half of the world's 1.57 billion 5G users, according to the World Internet Development Report 2024. It ranked second globally in AI and computing power scale, which has laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of AI. Tatsuo Yamazaki , project professor at the International University of Health and Welfare, said it was very meaningful for Japan and China to discuss strengthening AI governance rules. Fumihiko Kamio , research director of the Nomura Research Institute, echoed his view. He emphasized that the core goal of AI technology is to improve productivity and eliminate obstacles to social development, and called on Chinese and Japanese experts to work together to build an AI governance framework to cope with the global challenges. Deepening international cooperation China put forth the Global AI Governance Initiative in October last year. In July, the UN General Assembly adopted a China -sponsored resolution on enhancing international cooperation on AI capacity-building. The participants spoke highly of the Global Cross-Border Data Flow Cooperation Initiative recently proposed by China . They agreed that AI governance requires global collaboration, especially in the formulation of international standards and the construction of ethical frameworks, where China and Japan can play an active role. Ding Wenhua, academician of the CAE, said China and Japan have both similarities and differences in technology development and governance priorities, so deepening cooperation will bring unique value to global AI governance. " China and Japan should deepen AI technology cooperation between enterprises, work together in AI security research, talent exchange, and jointly explore more possibilities for the application of technology," Wang Zhongyuan , president of the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, said. Balancing development & risks AI governance refers to the guardrails established to ensure AI systems and tools remain safe and ethical and respect human rights. Xu Zhilong , editor-in-chief of Science and Technology Daily, stressed that AI, as a revolutionary technology, has far-reaching impacts on all areas of society and economy. However, its potential risks such as data leakage and the spread of false information should not be ignored. "Technological progress and security ethics should be developed in a balanced way to ensure that AI technology always serves the progress of human civilization," Xu said. AI governance should not only heed the current technological ethics issues, but also prevent possible long-term risks, such as AI going out of human control, according to Toshio Iwamoto , senior corporate advisor of NTT DATA. He said AI R&D and application should abide by the principles of fairness, transparency, safety and availability. Yuan Yue, chairman of Beijing Dataway Horizon, shared his view from the perspective of regulatory models. "Policy choices should be based on the current status and goals of national technological development," Yuan said, adding that China prefers to provide a more friendly development environment for enterprises while ensuring an effective response to risks.

A peak of 12.5 million saw Nessa and Smithy get hitched in the sitcom’s highly anticipated conclusion. Millions more are expected to have watched on catch-up. Insiders say execs are keen to coax more material from co-writers James Corden and Ruth Jones . A source said: “It would be madness to close the door on such a hit.” The spin-off could come in the form of a sitcom following warring couple Dawn and Pete, insiders said. READ MORE ON GAVIN AND STACEY A TV source said: “James and Ruth are adamant this is the last of Gavin & Stacey. But, when a programme achieves such results, execs will always hope for more. “At the end of the day, ratings talk and it would be madness to close the door on such a hit forever when fans loved it so much. “Bosses have had casual discussions about whether options like a Pete and Dawn spin-off could work. 'Bosses live in hope' "They were always more separate to the main group and a new universe could be developed which didn’t involve any of the core cast, so James and Ruth’s involvement could be a little different.” Most read in News TV The 2019 Christmas special, when Nessa, played by Ruth, proposed to Smithy (James) was supposed to be the final episode. But The Sun then sensationally revealed the gang were coming back five years on. Our source went on: “No one thought James and Ruth would ever return following 2019’s special, so it’s definitely considered a ‘never say never’ situation and bosses live in hope. "Even when news of this Christmas special broke , Ruth denied it publicly, so any plans will always be shrouded in secrecy. “At this point they are rightly so proud of what they delivered and why would they risk ruining it all? But no one can be blamed for one day hoping for more.” The BBC last night said there were no plans for a spin-off. Christmas Day’s classic finale saw Nessa and Smithy get the happy ending fans were hoping for. But other characters have obvious room for more, after Pete and Dawn Sutcliffe divorced then were reunited. There is also Stacey’s mum Gwen West finding love with Nessa’s ex Dave Coaches. Fan favourites such as Smithy’s sister Rudi and his mates Budgie, Chinese Alan and Fingers are also candidates. The BBC has had huge success with spin-offs that are based within the same “universe” as a popular show, such as Beyond Paradise and now Return To Paradise for cop show Death In Paradise . The source said: “As with any big shows, options are always discussed in planning meetings and there are obvious options within Gavin & Stacey. "It’s all down to James and Ruth whether anything will be developed, though.” The 2024 special surpassed its 2019 predecessor by more than half a million viewers. Yesterday, photos were released of the cast and crew posing for final photos on set. Charlotte Moore, BBC’s Chief Content Officer, said: “Ruth Jones and James Corden created a magical finale fans will treasure forever. “Their exquisitely written comedy creation is a show all about family, love and joy and it proved to be the unmissable TV event of the year.” The special was packed with twists and big reveals, kicking off with the dreaded Sonia being Smithy’s bride-to-be at the start of the episode, not Nessa. Christmas Day on the BBC brought people together in their millions. Actress Laura Aikman, who plays Sonia, told on the night how she kept it a secret from loved ones. She posted a video of her family gasping when she appeared. Laura wrote: “I take an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) very seriously! The moment my family realise Sonia is ruining Christmas again.” The finale crowned an epic Christmas Day for the BBC, which had all the top ten most-watched programmes. The return of Wallace & Gromit with Vengeance Most Fowl drew in the next biggest tally, with a peak of ten million, followed by stalwarts including Call The Midwife , Doctor Who and Strictly. READ MORE SUN STORIES ITV’s best efforts came from The Chase’s celebrity special with 2.9 million and Freddie Flintoff’s Bullseye special on 2.4 million. Ms Moore said: “Christmas Day on the BBC brought people together in their millions. I’m very proud the line-up was a showcase for the very best in British storytelling.” IT’S not Gavin & Stacey’s fault, but I’d started hating the Christmas special long before it came to screen. A resentment you can probably put down to personal failings and the fact that rolling news, the print media and even the BBC’s main bulletins seemed to be hyping the 90-minute episode’s expectations way beyond a point it could possibly deliver. Without anything else worth watching on Christmas Day, since the last Gavin & Stacey special in 2019, the longing was as understandable as it was damning, I suppose. But for the first half, at least, it seemed like all the pre-publicity had been a dreadful miscalculation. The storyline was going nowhere and everyone, bar James Corden and Ruth Jones, who’ve written themselves the two best parts, seemed to be performing instead of acting, to an annoying degree in the cases of Rob “Bryn” Brydon and Alison “Pam” Steadman. They clearly knew something we didn’t, though. Because, as soon as Smithy and Sonia’s abortive wedding scene kicked in, everything made perfect sense. It was an old-fashioned love story that had momentum, heart, soul, staggeringly good stars, Anna Maxwell Martin and Sheridan Smith, and also the good sense to flag up its own plot holes, on the final chase to Southampton Docks. As I’m sure the whole audience was screaming “Give her a ring,” long before Joanna Page’s Stacey said “I’ll try her on her mobile” and Jason replied “Why didn’t we just call her in the first place?” They would have looked daft, of course, if the show hadn’t delivered the ending the audience craved and deserved. But it gave the people what they wanted, a Smithy and Nessa wedding, and spared them from the one thing that infected other significant parts of the BBC’s Christmas Day TV, preachiness. For there were no gear-crunching references to diversity, as we got in the King’s Speech and EastEnders, nor was there any bleating about the arms trade, as in Doctor Who. For 90 minutes on Christmas Day, TV was a glorious, happy, woke-free zone again. And if you think the BBC will learn from Gavin & Stacey’s triumph and cut the political lectures in 2025? Well, I’d settle back and watch the Christmas special again and again, if I were you.

German investors are attracted to Tamil Nadu because of its advanced infrastructure, young and talented manpower and stable govt, says consul-general of Germany in Chennai, Michaela Küchler. In an interview to TOI, she speaks about future investments by German companies and a partnership between Saxony and Tamil Nadu. Excerpts: How many German companies operate in Tamil Nadu and which are the top five? There are more than 120 German companies in Tamil Nadu, which include 100% subsidiaries and joint ventures. Major industrial sectors where German companies operate are auto and auto components, machinery for construction industry, information technology, footwear, and insurance. The top five German companies in Tamil Nadu are Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, BMW, Siemens, Schaeffler, and Schwing Stetter. Are more German companies looking to set up manufacturing or service sector facilities in Tamil Nadu? Yes, many more German companies plan to do so. For instance, a company named Startup Factory is coming to Tamil Nadu. It will help German entrepreneurs who want to invest in Tamil Nadu. It will offer office space and help to find land and so on. The company also has operations in countries such as China. What attracts companies from Germany to Tamil Nadu and to which sectors? Tamil Nadu is a prominent location in India for German investors due to the advanced infrastructure, highly qualified, young and talented manpower and a stable govt with good political leadership. The bilateral relations in Tamil Nadu are mostly in the two industrial hubs where German companies are invested or have business partners — Chennai and Coimbatore. And I think what always speaks in favour of Tamil Nadu is the high level of education and high level of skilled workforce, especially women. There is also land available, which is important to set up factories. The Tamil Nadu govt actively supports companies that want to come here. The sectors that German companies are interested in are manufacturing, shipping, logistics, consumer electronics, power, green hydrogen, and semiconductors. How many companies from Tamil Nadu operate in Germany? Around 25 Tamil Nadu companies operate in Germany spread across information technology, manufacturing, and automotive sectors. The interest of Tamil businessmen and businesswomen in Germany is big and vice versa. This is a reciprocal interest. How do you see the relationship between Tamil Nadu and Germany growing? We might think of an official partnership between Tamil Nadu and a German state. We already have two official partnerships. One between Bavaria and Karnataka and another between Baden-Württemberg and Maharashtra. Saxony is interested in having an official partnership with Tamil Nadu. This will boost relations. They are very strong in semiconductors. They have Silicon Saxony, where they operate semiconductor companies. So, that’s something really interesting to explore. There is no direct free trade agreement (FTA) between India and Germany. However, negotiations are underway between India and the European Union (EU) on an FTA. What is its status? Trade between India and Germany follows the rules of the WTO. We are looking forward to a swift conclusion of the FTA with the EU. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz underlined at the Indo-German govt consultations in Delhi in Oct 2024 that he wishes to see the FTA negotiations concluded as soon as possible, to give bilateral trade and investments a boost. We are interested in swift closure of these talks because we are an export-oriented economy. Ready to Master Stock Valuation? ET’s Workshop is just around the corner!In a span of 30 years, SM Prime Holdings (PSE: SMPH) has become a dominant force in the Philippine property sector, driven by its iconic SM malls and the market-leading developments of SM Development Corporation (SMDC). Tracing its origins back to a small shoe store founded by Henry Sy, Sr. in downtown Manila, SMPH has grown into one of the most valuable firms in the country and a leading integrated property developer in Southeast Asia. Beyond its impressive scale, SM Prime stands as a bellwether for the Philippines—its progression following the same arc as the nation’s economic and social advancement. Turning Headwinds into Headway In the 1990s, the Philippines posted an average real GDP growth rate of 2.8% per year, owing to political instability, natural disasters and the Asian Financial Crisis. During the same period, average lending interest rate was over 19%, reflecting the broader economic challenges faced by the country. Against this backdrop, the SM Group founded and listed SMPH in July 1994 to organize and expand its chain of shopping malls. At the time, it only had four in its portfolio: SM North EDSA, SM City Sta. Mesa, SM Megamall and SM City Cebu. After raising nearly P6 billion from the capital market, SM Prime aggressively expanded its mall network, cementing its position as the country’s largest mall operator and securing a spot in the Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) since October 1994. Reorganizing for Growth Entering its second decade as a listed company, SM Prime led a transformative consolidation that altered the course of its growth trajectory. Through a series of well-executed transactions, the SM Group unified its sprawling real estate interests under SM Prime, effectively turning the mall operator into a property conglomerate. The entire process, from announcement to final regulatory approval, took l ess than five months. Its speed and ingenuity earned SM Prime the “Most Innovative Deal” award from the financial publication Alpha Southeast Asia. Post-consolidation, SMPH’s market capitalization surged 133% to P950 billion by the close of 2023, up from approximately PHP 408 billion in 2013. Setting Records Since its reorganization, SM Prime has consistently pushed boundaries in value generation. In 2017, the property titan made history as the first company on the PSE to reach a P1 trillion market capitalization, closing at P1.01 trillion on June 9. SM Prime also crossed key milestones in revenue recognition, surpassing the P104 billion mark in 2018 and recording P128 billion in 2023, its highest to date. Over the last 10 years, its annual net income has expanded by 146% from P16 billion to a record high of P40 billion in 2023, the highest among its listed peers. The company is poised to break another profit record in 2024, with first-half earnings surging 13% to P22 billion, up from P19 billion a year earlier. Beyond Profitability SM Prime’s growth transcends financial metrics and shareholder returns. It has been a catalyst for national progress—creating jobs, contributing tax revenues, building communities and advancing sustainable urbanization across the Philippines. “As SM Prime marks its 30th anniversary, our focus remains on innovation and sustainability. With the strong foundation we’ve built, we believe our best projects are still to come,” said SM Prime President Jeffrey Lim. “We have integrated project developments in our five-year pipeline, which we expect will drive the company to a new level of growth,” he added.
