Varsity Maine football honor roll, Nov. 25BAKU: Negotiators raced against the clock at UN climate talks Thursday to broker a potential trillion-dollar deal to help poorer nations tackle global warming after rich and developing countries roundly rejected a draft proposal. The UN climate summit is supposed to conclude on Friday but is almost certain to run into overtime as nations from the United States to China panned a text released by the Azerbaijani hosts. The main priority at COP29 in Baku is agreeing a new target to replace the $100 billion a year that rich nations provide poorer ones to reduce emissions and adapt to disaster. Developing countries plus China, an influential negotiating bloc, are pushing for $1.3 trillion by 2030 and want at least $500 billion of that from developed nations. Major contributors like the European Union have baulked at such demands, and insist private sector money must be counted toward the goal. The latest draft recognised that developing countries need at least “USD [X] trillion” per year but omitted a concrete figure. “There is a critical piece of this puzzle missing: the overall number,” said Cedric Schuster, the Samoan chairman of the Alliance of Small Island States, a coalition of nations facing an existential threat from rising seas. “The time for political games is over.” Ali Mohamed, the chair of the African Group of Negotiators, another important bloc, said the “elephant in the room” was the missing figure. “This is the reason we are here,” said Mohamed, who is also Kenya’s climate envoy. Azerbaijan said it would release a shorter, revised draft later Thursday that would contain numbers. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who flew back to Baku after attending COP29’s opening last week, said that negotiators had not yet shifted from initial positions and urged a “final push” for a deal.
Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, has died at the age of 100. He died after spending more than a year in hospice care. Carter grew up on a peanut farm in Georgia and served in the U.S. Navy before turning to politics. He served one term as the president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Following his time in the White House, Carter dedicated his life to humanitarian work, and was a major contributor to Habitat for Humanity. His post-presidential international diplomatic work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec, 29, 2024.

Japan holds first memorial for 'all workers' at Sado gold mines but blurs WWII atrocity. Why?NEW YORK, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks ended higher on Monday, as the equities market is aiming to build on last week's rally while investors gear up for a busy earnings week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 440.06 points, or 0.99 percent, to 44,736.57, hitting new all-time highs. The S&P 500 added 18.03 points, or 0.30 percent, to 5,987.37. The Nasdaq Composite Index increased 51.18 points, or 0.27 percent, to 19,054.83. Nine of the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors ended in green, with real estate and consumer discretionary leading the gainers by adding 1.28 percent and 0.99 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, energy and technology led the laggards by losing 2.01 percent and 0.35 percent, respectively. Scott Bessent, the founder of Key Square Group, is seen by investors as a market-friendly choice likely to support equity growth. His nomination for the U.S. Treasury Secretary is also viewed as a moderating influence on President-elect Donald Trump's more protectionist policies, including his controversial stance on taxing imports. "I would recommend that tariffs be layered in gradually," Bessent said earlier this month before he was picked. "If you take that price adjustment coupled with all the other disinflationary things President Trump is talking about, we're going to be at or below the 2 percent inflation target again." Meanwhile, shares of Super Micro Computer surged 12 percent on Monday, continuing their sharp recovery after unveiling a plan last week to avoid delisting by Nasdaq. The server maker and Nvidia partner had faced months of declines due to significant accounting issues but has nearly doubled in value over the past week. While Monday's earnings calendar was relatively quiet, a flurry of reports is expected on Tuesday. Companies like Dell Technologies, CrowdStrike, Workday, HP, and Best Buy are set to release quarterly results, potentially setting the tone for markets. Deutsche Bank set an ambitious target of 7,000 points for the S&P 500 by the end of 2025, citing strong earnings growth and favorable market conditions. Meanwhile, Barclays revised its 2025 S&P 500 forecast upward to 6,600, up from its prior target of 6,500, driven by a resilient U.S. economy, easing inflation pressures, and robust earnings potential from mega-cap tech companies. Investors will continue to monitor corporate earnings and economic indicators this week for further insight into the market momentum.
