Diplomats from small island nations threatened by rising seas and impoverished African states angrily filed out of a meeting with summit hosts Azerbaijan over a final deal being thrashed out in a Baku sports stadium. "We came here to this COP for a fair deal. We feel that we haven't been heard," said Cedric Schuster, the Samoan chairman of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). An unpublished version of the final text circulating in Baku, and seen by AFP, proposes that rich nations raise to $300 billion a year by 2035 their commitment to poorer countries to fight climate change. It is up from $100 billion now provided by wealthy nations under a commitment set to expire. COP29 hosts Azerbaijan intended to put a final draft before 198 nations for adoption or rejection on Saturday evening, a full day after the marathon summit officially ended. Sierra Leone's climate minister Jiwoh Abdulai, whose country is among the world's poorest, said the draft was "effectively a suicide pact for the rest of the world". In a statement, Schuster said AOSIS and the group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) have found themselves "continuously insulted by the lack of inclusion" at COP29. Schuster said that without an inclusive process, "it becomes very difficult for us to continue our involvement here at COP29". But negotiators from AOSIS, the LDCs and wealthy nations met later with the COP29 presidency. "We're doing our utmost to build bridges with literally everyone," EU climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra said in a statement. "It is not easy," he said. "There is no alternative to do whatever we can." An earlier offer from rich nations of $250 billion was slammed as offensively low by developing countries, which have demanded much higher sums to build resilience against climate change and cut emissions. UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the revised offer of $300 billion was "a significant scaling up" of the existing pledge by developed nations, which also count the United States, EU and Japan among their ranks. Harried diplomats ran to-and-fro in the stadium near the Caspian Sea searching for common ground. "Hopefully this is the storm before the calm," said US climate envoy John Podesta in the corridors as somebody shouted "shame" in his direction. Panama's negotiator, Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez, said delegates could not go home without a deal and repeat the failure of COP15 in Copenhagen in 2009. "I'm sad, I'm tired, I'm disheartened, I'm hungry, I'm sleep-deprived, but there is a tiny ray of optimism within me because this cannot become a new Copenhagen," he told reporters. Wealthy nations say it is politically unrealistic to expect more in direct government funding. Donald Trump, a sceptic of both climate change and foreign assistance, returns to the White House in January and a number of other Western countries have seen right-wing backlashes against the green agenda. The draft deal posits a larger overall target of $1.3 trillion per year to cope with rising temperatures and disasters, but most would come from private sources. Ali Mohamed, the Kenyan chair of the African Group of Negotiators, told AFP: "No deal is better than a bad deal." South African environment minister Dion George, however, said: "I think being ambitious at this point is not going to be very useful." "What we are not up for is going backwards or standing still," he said. "We might as well just have stayed at home then." A coalition of more than 300 activist groups accused historic polluters most responsible for climate change of skirting their obligation, and urged developing nations to stand firm. A group of developing countries had demanded at least $500 billion, with some saying that increases were less than met the eye due to inflation. Experts commissioned by the United Nations to assess the needs of developing countries said $250 billion was "too low" and by 2035 rich nations should be providing at least $390 billion. The US and EU have wanted newly wealthy emerging economies like China -- the world's largest emitter -- to chip in. China, which remains classified as a developing nation under the UN framework, provides climate assistance but wants to keep doing so on its own voluntary terms. The EU and other countries have also tussled with Saudi Arabia over including strong language on moving away from fossil fuels, which negotiators say the oil-producing country has resisted. "We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially the small island states, to be ripped off by the new, few rich fossil fuel emitters," said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. bur-np-sct-lth/givImage source: Instagram Quick commerce services, such as Swiggy Instamart , offer the convenience of ordering essentials and having them delivered in a matter of minutes. While this speed is beneficial, it can lead to uncomfortable situations, especially when private or sensitive items are involved. A recent incident in Delhi highlights how something as simple as ordering condoms can turn awkward if delivery expectations aren’t met, particularly when the packaging isn't discreet. Assembly Election Results Spot the difference: Shinde, Fadnavis and 'kissa kursi ka' BJP triumphs in UP bypolls, Priyanka Gandhi wins big win in poll debut Cong cries foul after Maharashtra loss, says level-playing field was disturbed This situation raised broader concerns about privacy in deliveries, especially in professional environments. Swiggy Instamart condom delivery experience turns awkward at the office A man, while at work, ordered condoms through Swiggy Instamart and requested that they be left at his office reception. Expecting a discreet delivery, he was taken aback when the package arrived in a transparent pink plastic bag, exposing the contents for all to see. This embarrassing moment occurred in front of the receptionist and likely several office colleagues. Condom order becomes public with Swiggy Instamart delivery The man—identified as Manan Singh—explained that while buying condoms isn’t typically a source of embarrassment, he usually orders them from Blinkit, which uses discreet brown packaging. He assumed that Swiggy Instamart would offer similar packaging. His decision to have the package delivered to the office reception was intended to keep the process convenient, but it ultimately resulted in a public and awkward moment when the order was displayed in clear view. Swiggy Instamart condom delivery goes viral The post, which included a photo of the condom packet in the transparent bag, quickly went viral. Although the original post was later deleted, the comments continued to provide both humour and advice on how to handle such situations. One user suggested the man “distribute his embarrassment” among his colleagues, while others expressed confusion about why he ordered condoms to work in the first place. Privacy concerns and workplace implications raised in Swiggy Instamart condom delivery incident The user's comments also touched on the importance of privacy when ordering sensitive items. One user raised the potential complications of ordering such products at work, citing the POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) policy. This policy, intended to protect employees from inappropriate situations, could be triggered if any colleague felt uncomfortable with the order. The incident sparked several users to share their own experiences with awkward deliveries. One user described how Zepto, another quick commerce service, had exposed a discreet condom package in front of their landlord, further highlighting the challenges that come with ordering private items through rapid delivery services. This incident emphasises the need for quick commerce services to provide discreet packaging for sensitive products, especially when they are ordered for delivery in public or professional spaces. While the convenience of quick commerce is undeniable, companies must consider the social implications and potential embarrassment that can arise when personal items are delivered in an overly transparent manner.

UMass falls 59-21 to eighth-ranked Georgia on the roadI'm A Celebrity viewers have spotted camp tension already as Dean McCullough took on another trial. The BBC Radio One presenter was up for his third trial of the series so far on Thursday night. He called ' I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out of Here!' on his first trial and failed to collect any stars on his second tasked when paired with social media star GK Barry. Dean hoped to secure a good meal in Thursday's trial , but it didn't go too well. He took on the Lethal Lab where he put his head in different boxes to try and undo the stars with his mouth. In typical I'm A Celebrity fashion, the boxes were filled with creepy crawlies. In the end, Dean collected four stars before declaring to quit the trial when fish guts filled the box. Dean appeared thrilled with his four stars as he rushed back to camp to let the others know. He was greeted with praise from his campmates, yet viewers noticed one celebrity didn't seem so impressed. McFly's Danny Jones failed to crack a smile or say anything to Dean as fans of the show admitted he was right to be annoyed. One viewer said: "Danny is absolutely not impressed." Another added: "Oop Danny does not look pleased." Someone else commented: "I think Danny is p***ed off which is completely understandable." A fourth wrote: "Danny McFly looks like he wants to kill him. Not buying his 4-star bulls**t at all." One fan echoed: "Danny didn’t look too impressed at failing at fishguts." Host Ant McPartlin had urged Dean to take on the challenge will full effort and not quit. Viewers at home issued a call as they declared a change must happen. They have urged others to stop voting for Dean to take on the Bushtucker Trials. One said: "I’m begging you all please leave dean and grace alone let someone else do the trials they have been through ENOUGH." Another added: "Can we agree as a collective to leave dean out of trials." Someone else commented: "Guys PLEASE stop voting dean in i feel so bad for him, don’t make my fav leave before he even gets the chance to win." A fourth wrote: "Idk who keeps voting for dean but it’s getting boring lads, leave him alone." Dean, 32, dramatically quit his Bushtucker trial on Tuesday night when he was only minutes into it. Speaking on I'm A Celebrity Unpacked, Ant and Dec said they were disappointed viewers didn’t get to see the full trial when Dean quit Sinister Sarcophagus on Tuesday night. Dec said: “We are genuinely disappointed because you are prepared to do the whole trial and you want to see the whole thing. There’s a lot of time gone into the trials so when it’s called early your like, ‘oh'. Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
Dell Technologies Delivers Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Matthew Downing threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead Elon to a 31-21 season-ending win over North Carolina A&T on Saturday. The game was tied at 7 in the second quarter when the Phoenix turned a fumble recovery into a field goal. That started a string of four-straight scoring possessions.

Here are the grades coming out of the Huskers' win over Wisconsin. Emmett Johnson was the speed back Nebraska needed him to be as slipped into space and past would-be tacklers. The redshirt sophomore was a receiving threat out of the backfield and was rarely taken to the ground by the first defender to meet him on a play. He set career highs in rushing yards and all-purpose yards. Dante Dowdell scored untouched on a 12-yard run in the first half and tacked on a plunge from the goal line. GRADE: A Nebraska didn’t come out with the most ambitious game plan, but Dylan Raiola executed it. The quarterback was accurate and efficient, particularly over the middle of the field. He didn’t often push the ball downfield, but he took what the Wisconsin defense gave him, forcing little and avoiding negative plays. GRADE: B Shaky tackling, allowing Wisconsin to break off the occasional chunk play, blemished an otherwise solid night for Nebraska in the trenches. The Badgers struggled to maintain drives, and two of the game’s pivotal plays were NU run stops: a Nash Hutmacher forced fumble that set up a field goal late in the first half and John Bullock stuffing Tawee Walker on fourth down in NU territory in the third quarter. GRADE: B Like his counterpart on the opposite sideline, Braedyn Locke was solid within a conservative attack. He took care of the ball and hit receivers when they were open. Nebraska, like in the running game, didn’t do itself any favors with its tackling — especially in the secondary. A 58-yard bomb to Vinny Anthony II gave Wisconsin a quick touchdown it needed for a potential comeback attempt. GRADE: C Barney gave the Huskers a nice jump with a 45-yard kickoff return to begin the game, setting up an opening-drive touchdown. Brian Buschini continued his excellent season with a coffin-corner punt to pin Wisconsin at its own 3-yard line, and John Hohl connected on 37- and 45-yard field goals. GRADE: B The Dana Holgorsen effect is real. Nebraska’s offense moved as smoothly as it has since the first half against Colorado in Week 2. Raiola was comfortable. Playmakers like Johnson and Jacory Barney Jr. got the ball in space, and the Huskers finally stopped looking like they were fighting themselves. GRADE: B It really didn’t matter how Nebraska got to six wins. The resulting feeling was always going to be cathartic, and eight years of pressure and dread released from Memorial Stadium on Saturday, the recent past dissipating into the air. The Huskers’ bowl drought is no longer a topic of conversation. For one night, nothing else matters. GRADE: A Get local news delivered to your inbox!

Fans screamed, cheerleaders danced and confetti cannons exploded as Taiwan's baseball team rode in military vehicles through the capital Taipei on Tuesday following their historic victory in an international tournament. F-16 fighter jets firing flares escorted the men's team back to Taiwan on Monday, a day after they beat Japan 4-0 in the final of the WBSC Premier12 in Tokyo and sparked jubilation across the island of 23 million people. Baseball is wildly popular in Taiwan and winning the WBSC Premier12 for the first time has been a focus of newspaper front pages, social media chat groups and office conversations. After receiving a rapturous welcome at Taipei's international airport on Monday night, the players turned out Tuesday for a street parade in front of thousands of adoring fans waving Taiwanese flags and "Team Taiwan" signs. Employees of a bank climbed out of their first-floor office windows to watch the players go past. "I couldn't sleep for two nights, that shows how excited I am," Victor Chai, 30, told AFP as he stood in the crowd. "I've been watching games for 20 years, and I never thought I'd see the day when Taiwan's team would win an international championship." After playing under the name Chinese Taipei, the team wore black hooded sweaters emblazoned with Taiwan as they stood in the back of military jeeps and trucks. The parade ended at the Presidential Office Building where the team was greeted by President Lai Ching-te and Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim -- wearing the same sweaters as the players. "Thank you for showing Taiwan to the world," Lai told the players. "Taiwan is not just about semiconductors; Taiwan also has baseball." Taiwan and China have been ruled separately since 1949, but Beijing claims the island as part of its territory and has sought to erase it from the international stage. Taiwan competes under the name Chinese Taipei in international sports events due to pressure from China, which baulks at any attempt to give the island legitimacy. Lai has been an outspoken defender of Taiwan's sovereignty, angering Beijing, which calls him a "separatist".
