Under BIPC's normal course issuer bid, the Board of Directors of BIPC authorized BIPC to repurchase up to 10% of the total public float of Exchangeable Shares, or up to 11,889,600 Exchangeable Shares. At the close of business on November 19, 2024, there were 132,029,368 Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding and 118,896,006 Exchangeable Shares in the public float.

Repurchases under each normal course issuer bid are authorized to commence on December 2, 2024 and each normal course issuer bid will terminate on December 1, 2025, or earlier should BIP or BIPC, as applicable, complete its repurchases under its respective normal course issuer bid prior to such date. Under BIP's current normal course issuer bid that commenced on December 1, 2023 and expires on November 30, 2024, BIP previously sought and received approval from the TSX to repurchase up to 23,107,234 LP Units, 498,926 Series 1 Preferred Units, 498,586 Series 3 Preferred Units, 798,659 Series 9 Preferred Units and 993,619 Series 11 Preferred Units.

The ( ) share price has been a bit of an underperformer again in 2024. Since the start of the year, the giant's shares have fallen 2.5%. And unless there's a late year surge, it seems very likely that the company's shares are going to fall well short of the performance of the ASX 200 index, which is up almost 11% year to date. But that's 2024, what about next year? Let's see what could happen. CSL share price outlook in 2025 As long as Donald Trump doesn't make any material changes that negatively impact drugmakers in the United States, then it is looking like 2025 could be a good year for CSL's shares. That's because all the major brokers agree that its shares are undervalued and in the buy zone right now. This is being driven by the market's expectation that the company's key plasma therapies business is going to underpin double-digit earnings growth each year for the next few years. So, with the CSL share price trading on lower than normal multiples, they believe there's plenty of upside ahead for investors. For example, speaking about the investment opportunity here, Bell Potter recently said: CSL presents an attractive buying opportunity as we anticipate the start of a margin recovery phase for CSL, driving above-market earnings growth over the next few years. CSL trades at a 12-month forward PE of ~28x, representing a discount to its 10-year average of ~31x. Furthermore, the company will continue to deleverage the balance sheet over the next few years. Given the company's proven quality and growth prospects, we believe significant upside remains. Bell Potter has a buy rating and $345.00 price target on the company's shares. This implies potential upside of 23% for investors from current levels. What else? Elsewhere, Morgans currently has an add rating and $330.75 price target, which offers 18% upside for investors. It was pleased with its performance in FY 2024. It said: FY24 results were broadly in line, with double-digit underlying top and bottom line growth and strong OCF. Strong plasma collections drove Behring sales (+15%), while Seqirus was soft (+4%) on reduced immunisation rates, albeit above market, and Vifor grew modestly given follow-on products in some EU markets. We retain our Add rating. Over at Citi, its analysts have a buy rating and $345.00 price target and then UBS has a buy rating and $340.00 price target. Overall, while 2024 may have been disappointing for this market darling, the signs are positive for 2025.Roman's sell-out raincoat with 'great pockets' now £31 off in three coloursElon Musk has been going on a complete war footing against Donald Trump 's supporters in the last couple of days, owing to the fact that MAGA supporters are not agreeable to Musk's concept of H-1B visas, wherein he has said hat America does not have talented engineers and working resources, which need to be outsourced from foreign countries. ET Year-end Special Reads What kept India's stock market investors on toes in 2024? India's car race: How far EVs went in 2024 Investing in 2025: Six wealth management trends to watch out for What is Elon Musk's latest spat with Trump supporters all about? Musk is of the opinion that foreign talent working in US companies are knowledgably sound, and they have due potential of taking America and its industries forward, something that a majority of Trump's supporters are not agreeing on digesting. This has lead to a massive fiasco, and landed Musk into a major controversy across the US. Trump's supporters believe that America has enough resources itself, and local resources and workforce needs to be empowered, rather than than bringing in foreign nationals through H-1B visas, and give them jobs in the country. Trump backs Musk in this regard In a rather surprising incident, President-elect Donald Trump has now backed Elon Musk's support for H-1B visas, in spite of his initial opposition to this theory. This has taken Trump's entire MAGA supporter base by surprise, with many spewing fire about the sudden turn of events. According to Trump's recent statements, he has liked these kinds of visas and is in support of them. This puts the Musk-Trump differences to rest for the time being, but there is no saying as to when things may flare up again. What is the H-1B visa? The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa program based in the United States that allows companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. These occupations typically require a bachelor's or higher degree in some specific fields. The H-1B visa is a popular choice for US companies vested into the world of technology.

LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivia's highest court on Wednesday approved the extradition to the United States of a former anti-narcotics chief on charges of conspiring to smuggle cocaine into the U.S., a rare ruling against a top security official in the Andean nation whose relations with Washington have been strained for decades. The decision, which cannot be appealed, caps the rapid downfall of Maximiliano Dávila, 59, Bolivia's top drug cop in 2019 under former leftist President Evo Morales, the first Indigenous president of Bolivia who became a global anti-imperialist icon for kicking out the U.S. ambassador and Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008. A former police colonel, Dávila was indicted in 2022 in New York on federal charges of conspiring to import cocaine to the U.S. and possessing machine guns. The indictment accused Dávila of leveraging his position to provide top-level protection to cargo planes transporting cocaine through third countries for distribution in the U.S. The Justice and State Departments also offered a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his conviction. Dávila official has denied the charges. Bolivia’s Supreme Court of Justice announced it was granting a formal U.S. request for Dávila to be extradited on drug conspiracy charges. The U.S. State Department and Department of Justice did not publicly comment on the announcement. Get the latest breaking news as it happens. By clicking Sign up, you agree to our privacy policy . “After reviewing the documentation and the corresponding evidence, it has been determined to proceed immediately with Dávila’s extradition,” said Marco Jaimes, the court's president. Inside Bolivia, Dávila is facing money laundering charges. Bolivian authorities arrested him in 2022 as he was allegedly fleeing to Argentina, hauling him to jail in the capital of La Paz where he now remains. Dávila led the anti-narcotics agency in Bolivia for the final nine months of Morales’ 14-year presidency, which ended abruptly in November 2019. The powerful former coca farmer resigned as street protests erupted after the announcement that he had won re-election to an unprecedented fourth term. The interim government of Jeanine Áñez, which took power following Morales' ouster, sacked Dávila. But he returned in 2020 under the government of President Luis Arce, Morales' former economy minister. Dávila served for a year as police commander in Bolivia's central region of Cochabamba, a key hub of the country's coca-leaf production. An extradition treaty between Bolivia and the U.S. has been in force since 1995, despite decades of uneasy relations marked by America’s “war on drugs” and Morales' fierce opposition as a young union leader to U.S. forcible coca eradication policies. After Morales expelled the U.S. ambassador in 2008, the Bush administration did the same and nothing has changed since. This is the second time in Bolivian history that authorities have approved the extradition to the U.S. of a senior security officer, said Saul Lara, an opposition lawmaker and ex-foreign minister. The first was in 1995, when Col. Faustino Rico Toro, a former interior minister and anti-drug chief close to brutal Bolivian dictator Luis Garcia Meza, was handed over to U.S. authorities in Miami on cocaine trafficking charges. From Bolivia, lawyers for Dávila vowed to challenge the extradition. “This is a serious violation of human rights,” said defense attorney Manolo Rojas, promising that he would raise the case with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, an organ of the Organization of American States, of which the U.S. is a founding member. Bolivia's court decision comes as a fierce rivalry escalates between current President Arce and former President Morales, tearing apart the ruling Movement Toward Socialism party ahead of 2025 elections. Although Morales insists he has nothing to do with Dávila, Arce's supporters have sought to portray Wednesday's ruling against his former minister as a blow to the political career of the ex-president who seeks to run in the presidential elections next year despite a court ban. “In the United States, the former anti-drug czar will surely be able to reveal who his accomplices are. Perhaps it is Evo,” said Senator Virginia Velasco, referring to Morales without elaborating.After relocating to Chicago from Spain, Leonor San Sebastián initially felt disconnected from her neighbors and the city’s art scene. That changed when she opened her Lincoln Square pottery studio Ceramics by Leo in September 2023. The response from the community was instant: Her weekslong classes and one-day workshops were full almost immediately. As she added more classes to meet demand, those filled up too. San Sebastián said the studio has allowed her to build connections with neighbors and the wider ceramics scene in Chicago. “My life has changed,” she said. Other potters in Chicago also are capitalizing on the growing popularity of ceramics. Longtime studio owners say their spaces are full of hobbyists and experienced artists, citing a surge in interest driven by social media and a desire for hands-on, screen-free experiences. Its appeal has also been a boon to new studios like Ceramics by Leo. Albany Park resident Kelsie Huff was hooked after one ceramics workshop. She’s now taking her second wheel-throwing course at Ceramics by Leo. “As an adult, you’re supposed to be good at things. I feel like there’s just something really cool about being really bad at something,” Huff said. “We’re so isolated and technology-focused today ... and this is like getting back to the Earth.” An eight-week course at Ceramics by Leo is $310, with one-day workshops costing $60 and private lessons $155. The 1,500-square-foot studio can accommodate 12 wheel-throwing students. “For me, this isn’t just working. I love it,” San Sebastián said. “But it’s not as easy as it looks, because it is still a business.” It took pottery studio GnarWare in Pilsen about two years to turn a profit after it opened in 2018. While some studios focus on date nights or one-off workshops, owner Liz McCarthy wants the studio be a place for established artists. “I want to facilitate a space where people could kind of use vernacular techniques, such as wheel throwing cups and things like that, but also provide a space where artists felt comfortable to come in and make something non-traditional,” McCarthy said. Its weekslong classes are $230, and one-day workshops are $40. Part of the art When Meg Biddle opened Lincoln Square Pottery Studio and Learning Center in 2003, she worried about bringing in enough money to keep the nonprofit’s lights on. Biddle also braced herself during the Great Recession, when people started losing their homes and jobs. She expected fewer people would spring for a pottery class, but interest continued to grow. The same was true during the pandemic, and the studio has been at-capacity ever since. Now, her eight-week classes, priced at $340, sell out as soon as they go online. “Our lives are getting more and more digital,” said Biddle, who has been a potter and ceramics teacher for more than 30 years. “Clay is sort of the antithesis to that: It’s tactile; it’s messy. I think people started wanting more of that.” Jessica McCartney, an Albany Park resident and longtime member of Lincoln Square Pottery Studio, said, “I find it kind of meditative, almost therapeutic. I work on the wheel a lot, and you have to focus on only that. You breathe and center yourself. It’s a great place to stop thinking about all the outside crap. You can just be a part of the art.” She said wheel throwing and pottery has gotten more attention on social media, and it’s helped her promote her pottery on Instagram and Etsy. Zoe Rosenfeld came to Lincoln Square Pottery Studio in 2022 and stayed because the studio celebrates her queer-focused, non-traditional work. “It’s a very friendly, experimental community,” Rosenfeld said. “People are yearning for connection, yearning for individuality, or just want to step away from our mass-produced culture. It seems like that’s kind of why people are excited about ceramics.” Collaboration, not competition Zoe Minzenberger, who co-founded The Digs in West Town with Fawn Penn in 2020, said part of the studio’s success has come from working with the Chicago pottery community. Instead of competing with other studios, The Digs will organize events like a recent pottery crawl, when studios across Chicago hosted open houses and free workshops. When other studios are full, students get referred to The Digs and vice versa, Minzenberger said. “Chicago just has such a communal, more collaborative scene,” Minzenberger said. “It’s less competitive, and the artists around here are really welcoming.” A four-session class at The Digs is $225, and one-day workshops are $75. One-day couples workshops are $175. Since opening, The Digs has grown from 2,000 square feet to roughly 6,000 square feet. Minzenberger said a long wait list for classes made the expansion, completed in 2022, an easy choice and allowed it to add 16 students. The studio is now working on another round of upgrades to accommodate more artists and students. “Everything’s on social media. Everything is online now, and I think having a playful, muddy, dirty, hands-on experience gets people out of their heads,” Minzenberger said. “With all the new studios opening up, being able to spread the reach of pottery has been great.” ‘Can’t be on your phone’ Former Chicago Public Schools art teacher Chris Busse started Penguin Foot Pottery in 2010 with his wife, Paige, after he was laid off. Pulling together a small loan and their savings, the couple spent about $30,000 to open the studio. Its four-week classes are $145. They said keeping the class prices low allows them to introduce the art of ceramics to as many people as possible. “First and foremost, we really want to take away a lot of the barriers for just touching clay and seeing if you like it as a medium for art,” said Paige Busse, who co-manages the Logan Square studio. Pottery’s popularity has helped keep class prices reasonable, the couple said, and allowed them to expand the space in 2017 and 2019. It’s grown from 1,300 square feet to around 5,500 square feet. “There’s been a revival of the handmade, and I honestly think a lot of it is just getting off of devices and touching things with your hands. When you’re on the wheel, you can’t be on your phone,” Paige Busse said. After the pandemic, people flooded the studio seeking community, Chris Busse said. “In 2021, there was definitely a big jump of folks interested,” Chris Busse said. “I think a lot of it was people realizing the importance of that third space — the place where you can go that’s not work or home — and having a group of friends there.” It also helped diversify the pottery scene, he said. When Penguin Foot opened, there were only a handful of studios in Chicago. Now, artists and students of all levels and backgrounds have more opportunities to get their hands on clay. “Ceramics used to be more of a boy’s club,” Chris Busse said. “There’s been a really nice shift, and it’s kind of helped the industry explode.” After opening a string of pottery studios near Los Angeles, Marshall Blair launched The Pottery Studio Clay and Supply in Bucktown in 2022. Blair, a businessman who got his start working in Chicago restaurants, said the studio has become a profitable business and a place where students can find community. “It’s a super social thing,” Blair said. “I also think America has lost its love of manufacturing a little bit — the craftsmanship of making things and getting your hands dirty. I think people missed that and want to get back to it.” Biddle, of Lincoln Square Pottery Studio, said she was initially concerned about losing business when more studios started sprouting up nearby. But not anymore. “I think the more people do pottery, the more people are going to be into pottery, and that’s always been part of my mission,” Biddle said. “Even if people don’t stay doing ceramics, having a basic understanding of what goes into the creative process and having access to the part of your brain that thinks creatively and makes things happen, I think is ultimately good for everyone.”

The confidential briefing note is part of the tranche of documents made public by the Irish National Archive. Irish civil servants compiled a list of “major leaks” they claimed originated from the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) and Special Branch officers in the region, records show. The confidential briefing note is part of the tranche of documents made public in the annual release of State papers from the Irish National Archives. An Irish Department of Foreign Affairs official focusing on justice and security created the list in October 2002. The document starts by referencing a 1999 interview given by George Mitchell, the chairman of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations, in which he claimed the British and Irish governments, as well as Northern Ireland’s political parties, had leaked information to manipulate public opinion. However, he further accused the NIO of attempting to sabotage the process by leaking information on British Government policy to the media. Mr Mitchell, a former US senator, is said to have expressed alarm and anger over the frequency of leaks from the NIO – saying they were uniquely “designed to undermine the policy of the British Government of which they were a part”. The Irish civil servant notes Mr Mitchell himself was subjected to an attempted “smear” when he first arrived in Northern Ireland, as newspaper articles falsely claimed his chief of staff Martha Pope had had a liaison with Sinn Fein representative Gerry Kelly with ulterior motives. The Irish civil servant goes on to list several “leaks”, starting with the publication of a proposed deal in a newspaper while “intense negotiations” for the Downing Street Declaration were under way. Next, the Department lists two “high-profile and damaging leaks issued from the NIO”. A so-called “gameplan” document was leaked in February 1998, showing papers had been prepared weeks before the Drumcree march on July 6, 1997. In the preceding years, there had been standoffs and clashes as nationalists opposed the procession of an Orange parade down Garvaghy Road in Portadown. The gameplan document showed then secretary of state for Northern Ireland Mo Mowlam, who was publicly expressing a desire for a negotiated solution to the 1997 parade, advocated “finding the lowest common denominator for getting some Orange feet on the Garvaghy Road”. In 1997, a large number of security forces were deployed to the area to allow the march to proceed. The incident sparked heightened tension and a wave of rioting. The document further describes the release of a document submitted by the NIO’s director of communications to the secretary of state as a “second major leak”. It claims a publicity strategy was released to the DUP in the aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement and showed how the UK Government would support a yes vote in a referendum following any talks agreement. In addition, it is claimed unionists used leaked sections of the Patten report on policing to invalidate its findings ahead of its publication in 1999. The report recommended the replacement of the Royal Ulster Constabulary with the Police Service of Northern Ireland, the changing of symbols, and a 50-50 recruitment policy for Catholics and Protestants. At the time, UUP leader David Trimble said the recommendations would lead to a corruption of policing in Northern Ireland. Chris Patten, chairman of the independent commission on policing, said some of the assertions were a “total fabrication” and designed to “muddy the waters” to create a difficult political atmosphere. Elsewhere, the author notes it was leaked to the media there was serious disagreement between the governments of the UK and Ireland on the composition of that commission – with not a single name submitted by the Irish side being accepted by the other. The author notes this incident, still under the heading “NIO leaks”, was believed by British officials to have emanated from the Irish side. The report turns to leaks of other origin, claiming “disgruntled Special Branch officers in Northern Ireland” were blamed by the British Government for a series of releases about the IRA which were designed to damage Sinn Fein in the 2001 general election in Northern Ireland. One senior Whitehall source was quoted in the Guardian as complaining that Special Branch was “leaking like a sieve” after details of an IRA intelligence database containing the names of leading Tories – described at the time as a “hit list” – was passed to the BBC in April 2002. The briefing note adds: “This was followed days later by a leak to The Sunday Telegraph which alleged that senior IRA commanders bought Russian special forces rifles in Moscow last year. “The newspaper said it was passed details by military intelligence in London.” The briefing note adds that other Special Branch leaks were associated with the Castlereagh break-in. The final incident in the document notes the Police Ombudsman’s Report on the Omagh bombing was also leaked to the press in December 2001. Then Northern Ireland secretary John Reid said at the time: “Leaks are never helpful and usually malicious – I will not be commenting on this report until I have seen the final version.” The reason for creating the list of leaks, which the Irish National Archives holds in a folder alongside briefing notes for ministers ahead of meetings with officials from the UK Government and NIO, is not outlined in the document itself. – This document is based on material in 2024/130/6.Plymouth Argyle came up with yet another last-gasp Home Park goal, this time from striker Andre Gray, as they twice fought back from behind to draw 2-2 with Watford. The Championship match was into the sixth minute of added time, with the Pilgrims on the brink of just a second home defeat of the season, when Gray, playing against one of his former clubs, scored with a superb curling shot. The ball flew into the net in front of the Devonport End, with Watford goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann rooted to the spot, and the Green Army exploded into noise. No sooner had referee Andy Davies restarted the game than he blew for full-time and Argyle had clinched a point which had seemed beyond them for most of the match. Watford striker Vakoun Bayo had opened the scoring early on but Gray equalised out of the blue with a tremendous first time volley in the 23rd minute. The visitors restored their advantage late in the first half through defender Ryan Porteous and they rarely looked like losing it until Gray came up with his moment of magic for his third goal in five games for the Pilgrims. Defender Lewis Gibson returned to action for Argyle against Watford after missing the previous four matches due to a thigh injury, and also captained the side as well. There was one other change to the starting line-up from the 1-1 draw away to Derby County, which had been before the third international break of the season on November 9 as Gray made just his second start for Argyle. Mustapha Bundu and Callum Wright dropped down to the bench while Ryan Hardie, who was a second half substitute against Derby was missing from the matchday squad. Gibson played as the left-sided central defender as Argyle lined up in a 3-4-1-2 formation, with Julio Pleguezuelo and Kornel Szucs alongside him. Matty Sorinola and Bali Mumba were the wing-backs with Darko Gyabi and Adam Randell in central midfield. Morgan Whittaker was in the number 10 role behind the two strikers of Gray and Michael Obafemi. There was a yellow card for Mumba within the first minute after a foul on Moussa Sissoko and the resulting free-kick into the Argyle box was put over his own crossbar by Gray. Watford had all of the possession in the early stages of the game and it was no surprise when they took the lead in the eighth minute. Yasser Larouci put in a low cross from the left which Pleguezuelo could not cut out and Bayo bundled the ball into the net from a couple of yards out. There was a brief moment of silence inside the stadium with both sets of supporters not quite realising the deadlock had been broken, before the Watford fans in the Barn Park End at the opposite end of the pitch started to celebrate. Sorinola had one threatening cross into the Watford box which was headed behind for a corner by Mattie Pollock but, otherwise, it was the visitors who did all of the attacking. Larouci beat the Argyle offside trap in the 17th minute and got to the by-line and cut the ball back to Kwadwo Baah, who could not make a clean contact with his shot and Mumba was eventually able to clear his lines. Sorinola was caused all sorts of problems by Larouci with his trickery on the ball and clever movement as Watford pressed for a second goal. However, completely against the run of play, Argyle equalised in the 23rd minute. Gibson hit a long diagonal cross into the penalty area and Gray met it on the volley as he scored with a perfectly-placed shot into the corner of the net Argyle almost grabbed a second goal a short while later when the ball was played inside to Whittaker in his central position and he let fly from 25 yards with a strike which flew inches wide. Obafemi also had a good chance when he spun on the edge of the penalty area and sent a low shot narrowly past the outside of Bachmann’s left post. Watford almost regained the lead following a corner when the ball dropped to Porteous about six yards out but the defender could not hit the target from around six yards out. Bayo then sent a right-foot shot flying wide from 20 yards as the visitors continued to provide a real attacking threat with some slick passing. Their efforts were rewarded with a second goal in the 41st minute. Imran Louza played a free-kick from a central position to the right for Mattie Pollock, who put the ball across the face of goal and Porteous got there first before Sorinola to slot home from close range. Argyle had penalty appeals soon afterwards when Obafemi battled to hold the ball up under a challenge from Larouci and went to the ground but Davies allowed play to continue. TV replays indicated that was the correct call. Watford had been much the better side for most of the first half and were good value for their 2-1 lead while Argyle needed to regroup during the break. Gyabi had an early second half shot from distance which flew over the bar but showed some attacking intent from the Pilgrims before Gibson sent a header too high after a long throw-in from Szucs. Watford threatened next with a shot from Baah which was blocked behind for a corner by Gibson, who was booked soon afterwards for a blatant foul on Bayo as the striker looked to run in behind him. Argyle clearly tried to play with more intensity after the interval and take the game to Watford after being on the back foot for so much of the first period. However, the Hornets were still good going forward and Chakvetadze had a curling shot from around 25 yards pushed over the bar by Argyle ‘keeper Dan Grimshaw. Gyabi became more influential for the Pilgrims in the second half as he regularly drove forward from midfield and he had a shot saved by Bachmann by the base of his left post. Whittaker then left the pitch in the 68th minute with what appeared to be a foot injury and was replaced by Wright in Argyle’s first substitution of the match. Moments later, Gray could not quite get on the end of an inviting cross from Sorinola and the ball bounced out of play for a goal kick. Mumba and Sorinola pushed high up the pitch for Argyle, leaving the back three very much on their own as Szucs, Pleguezuelo and Gibson spread out across the pitch. Argyle were almost caught out when Sissoko powered his way past Szucs and played the ball in for Bayo, whose shot on goal forced an excellent save out of Grimshaw as he touched the ball wide. That was followed by a double Argyle substitution in the 79th minute as Freddie Issaka and Bundu were sent on for Sorinola and Obafemi respectively. Wright had a clear sight of goal for Argyle inside the Watford box but his low shot went wide, with the aid of a slight deflection for a corner, Issaka was a straight swap at right wing-back for Sorinola and Bundu played up front alongside Gray but the Pilgrims still found it hard to create clear-cut chances. However, they did not give up and Gray came up with a wonderful curling shot with virtually the last kick of the match to earn the Pilgrims a point.

GLASGOW, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Celtic and Club Brugge played out a 1-1 draw in the Champions League on Wednesday, with Daizen Maeda equalising after an own goal by defender Cameron Carter-Vickers had given the visitors a first-half lead. The stalemate leaves Celtic in 20th position on eight points, one point ahead of Brugge in 22nd, with both sides remaining in the knockout playoff spots in the 36-team table. Carter-Vickers blundered in the 26th minute when he misjudged a back pass intended for goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who had drifted out of position, allowing the ball to sneak into the bottom corner. The visitors dominated the first half with intense high-pressing that caused problems for Celtic, who were far from their best. After the break, however, the hosts looked in better shape and Maeda levelled when he curled in a superb shot from the right of the box in the 60th minute. Brendan Rodgers' side fought for a winner but ultimately settled for a draw, maintaining their unbeaten home record in all competitions this season. Sign up here.

LONDON (AP) — Barely a month after quitting international rugby , former England prop Joe Marler has brought forward his retirement plans and will end his time in the sport completely this week. Marler’s last match will be for Harlequins, his team since 2009, at home to Bristol in the English league on Friday. The 34-year-old Marler had indicated he would continue playing club rugby until the end of the season. He has made 285 appearances for Harlequins since arriving in 2009 and retires with two English league winners medals. “The time has come to finally jump off the rollercoaster and walk away from this beautifully brutal game,” he said Wednesday. The charismatic Marler announced on Nov. 3 that his 95-cap test career was over, days after he left England’s camp ahead of the November internationals because of personal reasons. He had baited New Zealand in the build-up to England’s first autumn test match by criticizing the Haka, stating on social media that it is “ridiculous” and “needs binning.” He later apologized for the comments. ___ AP rugby: https://apnews.com/hub/rugby

> Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are Jimmy Carter, the Georgia peanut farmer who became a U.S. president and a Nobel Prize-winning activist for peace and human rights, has died. He was 100. Carter's post-presidency had been widely seen as more successful than his time in the White House, and he called it " more gratifying ." even into his 90s, crusading for human rights, writing books, building homes for the needy with his own hands, teaching Sunday school, and traveling the world in the pursuit of peace. Carter graduated from the United States Naval Academy, participated in the Navy's fledgling nuclear-powered submarine program, and served two terms as a Georgia state senator and one as governor before he was elected to the White House. He became the nation's 39th president in 1977, defeating President Gerald Ford in the election more than two years after the Watergate scandal drove Richard Nixon from the Oval Office. Carter had been on hospice care for more than a year. His family announced in February 2023 that he had entered end-of-life care in his home after a series of hospital visits. His wife, Rosalynn , who had been diagnosed with dementia in early 2023, briefly entered hospice herself at age 96 before dying on Nov. 19, 2023. Carter turned 100 in October, bringing a new flood of tributes and accolades. His grandson Jason Carter said it was gratifying for Jimmy Carter to see a reassessment of his presidency and legacy. After losing his reelection bid in 1980, he remained active in public issues, including speaking at age 95 in support of Joe Biden at the virtual Democratic National Convention in August 2020. Some commentators viewed him as the nation's "most successful ex-president." He wrote more than 40 books , including "Faith," which he released when he was in his mid-90s. Days after his 93rd birthday, he offered to go to North Korea amid a nuclear crisis in an attempt to establish a permanent peace between Pyongyang and Washington. And at age 96, he denounced Republican efforts to restrict voter access in his home state. Carter lived longer than any other U.S. president, surpassing the late George H.W. Bush, who died in November 2018 at age 94. When Carter reached that milestone in March 2019, Carter Center spokeswoman Deanna Congileo said he was still active. "Both President and Mrs. Carter are determined to use their influence for as long as they can to make the world a better place," Congileo said at the time. "Their tireless resolve and heart have helped to improve life for millions of the world's poorest people." U.S. stock markets have historically closed for a day of mourning to honor the death of a president. James Earl Carter Jr. was born Oct. 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia — the first U.S. president born in a hospital. His father ran a general store and invested in farmland. His mother, known as "Miss Lillian," was a nurse. Carter attended the U.S. Naval Academy. During one of his visits home from Annapolis, his younger sister Ruth set up a date with their neighbor and lifelong friend. Upon graduation in 1946 from the academy, he married that young woman, Eleanor Rosalynn Smith, when she was 18. (On July 7, 2023, the Carters celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary , marking a record-long marriage for a first couple.) In the Navy, he served on submarines in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets and attained the rank of lieutenant. He joined then-Capt. Hyman Rickover's nuclear submarine development program. He did graduate work at Union College in reactor technology and nuclear physics and became senior officer of the pre-commissioning crew of the second nuclear submarine, the Seawolf. After his father died in 1953, Carter resigned from the Navy and returned to Georgia, taking over the family farms and becoming active in local politics. He served in the Navy Reserve until 1961. Elected governor in 1971, he was considered one of the leaders of the "New South" — a progressive who condemned racial segregation and inequality. During his presidential campaign, he ran as an outsider, hoping to capitalize on the anti-Washington sentiment in the post-Vietnam/Watergate era. "My name is Jimmy Carter, and I'm running for president," a beaming Carter said in the opening of his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in July 1976. He offered to create jobs in a nasty economy with a 7.9% unemployment rate, and to set a squeaky-clean example as a born-again Christian from outside the Beltway, unblemished by Washington's scandals. On the eve of the election, however, he gave an interview to Playboy magazine in which he made this shocking confession: "I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times." Still, the man with the huge smile and genteel Georgia drawl handily won the Electoral College by 297-240 but received only 50.1% of the popular vote to Ford's 48%. Once in office, Carter empowered his running mate, Walter Mondale, to transform the vice presidency into a policy-driving office. On the domestic front, in addition to stagflation and recession, Carter had to deal with the Love Canal ecological disaster in Niagara Falls, New York, which led to the creation of the environmental Superfund. He also ended federal price regulations for airlines, trucking and railroads; signed the bailout of Chrysler in 1979; and elevated the Department of Education into a separate Cabinet-level agency. One of his biggest domestic problems was the festering energy crisis, which stemmed from the Arab oil embargo that began during the 1973 Middle East war. He termed the crisis "the moral equivalent of war." In symbolic gestures, he wore a Mister Rogers-styled cardigan, turned down the White House heat, installed solar heating panels in the executive mansion, created the Department of Energy and pressed for tax incentives for installation of home insulation. In international affairs, he campaigned for human rights, successfully concluded the Camp David peace accords between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, negotiated the return to Panama of the Canal Zone, established full diplomatic relations with communist China and reached an agreement on the SALT II nuclear arms limitation treaty with Moscow. Then came the fateful end of the year 1979: The disastrous 444-day Iranian hostage standoff began in November, and the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in December, resulting in Carter's call for a U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by radical student followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on Nov. 4, 1979, and the subsequent siege made the Carter administration seem impotent. Even the first lady recalled during a CNBC interview in 2014 that she urged her husband to "do something, anything!" Five months into the crisis, Carter ordered a military mission, Operation Eagle Claw, to rescue the American hostages. The mission ended in humiliation: In the process of aborting the plan because of operational difficulties, a U.S. helicopter crashed into a transport plane at the desert staging area, killing eight servicemen. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who advocated diplomacy over force to resolve the hostage crisis, resigned. "I know this is a matter of principle with you, and I respect the reasons you have expressed to me," Carter said in a handwritten note to Vance. The crisis finally ended with the release of 52 Americans on Jan. 20, 1981, the day the man who ended Carter's single-term presidency took the oath of office — Ronald Reagan. Before the 1980 election between Carter, Reagan and independent John Anderson, Sen. Ted Kennedy waged an unsuccessful challenge to the president for the Democratic nomination. In a 2014 interview with CNBC, Carter said he probably would have been easily reelected had he rescued the hostages. "It would have shown that I was strong and resolute and manly," he said. "I could have wiped Iran off the map with the weapons that we had. But in the process a lot of innocent people would have been killed, probably including the hostages. And so I stood up against all that advice, and then eventually all my prayers were answered and all the hostages came home safe and free." Summing up the Carter presidency, former aide Stuart Eizenstat wrote in a 2015 op-ed in The New York Times that the nation's 39th president had numerous accomplishments. "It is enormously frustrating for those of us who worked closely with him in the White House to witness his presidency caricatured as a failure, and to see how he has been marginalized, even by his fellow Democrats," Eizenstat wrote. "His defining characteristic was confronting intractable problems regardless of their political cost." Carter remained active after he left Washington at age 56. He and Rosalynn volunteered for Habitat for Humanity , building affordable housing for the needy, and he established the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and The Carter Center in Atlanta. Founded in 1982, the center has sent observers to monitor elections in more than three dozen countries. The center has also led health efforts, including the push to eradicate the tropical parasitic Guinea worm disease. The center's motto is "Waging peace. Fighting disease. Building hope." "I still hope to outlive the last Guinea worm ," Carter told CNN in May 2018. (He came close. The Carter Center reported there were only 13 human cases in 2023.) Carter, who also taught at Emory University, traveled extensively to promote peace, human rights and economic progress. In one mission, President Bill Clinton secretly dispatched him to North Korea in 1994 to help mediate a nuclear dispute with dictator Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Un's grandfather. In 2002, Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for what the awards committee called "his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." However, his actions were not always well-received. His efforts in his long campaign for peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors included the 2006 book "Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid," which was perceived as antisemitic and biased against Israel. In particular, one sentence provoked an outcry: "It is imperative that the general Arab community and all significant Palestinian groups make it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism when international laws and the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are accepted by Israel." In an interview with NPR , Carter was asked about the passage. "That was a terribly worded sentence which implied, obviously in a ridiculous way, that I approved terrorism and terrorist acts against Israeli citizens," he said. "The 'when' was obviously a crazy and stupid word. My publishers have been informed about that and have changed the sentence in all future editions of the book." (It became: "It is imperative that the general Arab community and all significant Palestinian groups make it clear that they renounce all acts of violence against innocent civilians and will accept international laws, the Arab peace proposal of 2002, and the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace.") In the 2014 CNBC interview, Carter said the Camp David Accords and other peacemaking stood among his greatest achievements as president. "I kept our country at peace, which has happened very rarely since the Second World War, and I tried to work for peace between other people who were not directly related to the United States, like between Egypt and Israel. I normalized diplomatic relations with China, and I implemented a very strong human rights commitment that brought about a change throughout Latin America, for instance, from totalitarian military dictatorships to democracies," he said. "So I would say the promotion of peace and human rights were the two things that I'm most proud." Had he been elected to a second term, he told CNBC, "I could have implemented very firmly the peace agreement that I negotiated with Israel and its neighbors that was never fully implemented." "I'd like to be remembered as a champion of peace and human rights. Those are the two things I've found as a kind of guide for my life. I've done the best I could with those, not always successful, of course," he told CNBC. "I would hope the American people would see that I tried to do what was best for our country every day I was in office." Survivors include sons John "Jack," James "Chip," and Donnel "Jeff" and daughter Amy. Jack ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in Nevada in 2006. Jack's son Jason lost a bid for Georgia governor in 2014 to then-incumbent Republican Nathan Deal. Carter's brother Billy, whose antics stirred up unwanted attention during the Carter White House years, died in 1988. On Aug. 12, 2015, the former president revealed that he had melanoma and that surgery on his liver confirmed that it had metastasized there and to his brain. A week after his cancer diagnosis announcement, Carter held a remarkably frank news conference at the Carter Center to discuss his prognosis and the prospect of facing death. "I've had a wonderful life, I've had thousands of friends, and I've had an exciting and adventurous and gratifying existence," he told reporters. Illustrating that peace of mind, the former president took this picture when he returned home from the news conference: After four months of treatment, including targeted radiation and immunotherapy, Carter announced in early December 2015 that a subsequent brain scan showed no signs of the original cancer spots and no new ones. Then in March 2016, he announced he no longer needed regular cancer treatments. Months later, in July, he addressed the Democratic National Convention by video, urging people to vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump . And at an Atlanta Braves game in September 2015, the former first couple was caught on the "kiss cam." Former President Jimmy Carter smooches wife on Atlanta Braves' kiss cam http://t.co/eq5KbHftsn #NBCNightlyNews pic.twitter.com/QT5Prl6T8f In 2019, at age 94, Carter fell in his home and broke a hip when he was preparing to go turkey hunting. "President Carter said his main concern is that turkey season ends this week, and he has not reached his limit," the Carter Center said. He underwent hip replacement surgery but had to cancel plans to resume teaching Sunday school six days after the accident. Later that year, just before a planned week at an October 2019 Habitat for Humanity project in Tennessee, the 95-year-old Carter fell in his home while heading to church. Although he suffered a black eye and needed 14 stitches in his head, Carter appeared 400 miles away at a concert that night in Nashville to support the project. Wielding a power drill and other building tools, he soon joined the volunteer construction crews. Then, two weeks later, he fell in his house and suffered a pelvic fracture. But in another two weeks, he was back at church, giving a lesson on the Book of Job and talking about facing death during his 2015 cancer treatment. "I obviously prayed about it. I didn't ask God to let me live, but I just asked God to give me a proper attitude toward death. And I found that I was absolutely and completely at ease with death. It didn't really matter to me whether I died or lived," Carter told the congregation of 400 people at Maranatha Baptist Church on Nov. 3, 2019, according to the church's feed on Facebook. "I have since that time been absolutely confident that my Christian faith includes complete confidence in life after death." During the Covid pandemic, the Carters decided not to travel to Biden's inauguration, but weeks later, they were fully vaccinated and were back in their usual seats in the front pew of Maranatha Baptist for Sunday services. " It's hard to live until you're 95 years old," Carter told People magazine days after reaching that milestone. "I think the best explanation for that is to marry the best spouse: Someone who will take care of you and engage and do things to challenge you and keep you alive and interested in life." — Michele Luhn and Lynne Pate contributed to this report.
