Dhaka: A review committee formed by Bangladesh’s interim government on Sunday recommended engaging an investigation agency to examine power agreements signed by deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s regime with different business groups, including one with India’s Adani Group. “The National Review Committee on Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has recommended the appointment of a reputed legal and investigation agency to review the major power production agreements signed during the autocratic regime of Sheikh Hasina from 2009 to 2024,” an official statement said. The statement, issued by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus’s office, said the committee was currently reviewing seven major energy and power projects, including the Adani (Godda) BIFPCL 1234.4 MW coal-fired plant, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Power Limited. The six other agreements include one with a Chinese company that built a 1320 MW coal-fired power plant, while the rest are with Bangladeshi business groups said to be close to the past regime. According to the statement, the committee gathered “enormous proof” warranting the agreements be “scrapped or reconsidered” in line with international arbitration laws and procedures. It said the committee needed additional time to further analyse other solicited and unsolicited contracts. “In doing so, we recommend immediate appointment of one or more top-level international legal and investigation agency or agencies to assist the committee,” the statement said quoting a letter of the committee, headed by retired High Court judge Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury. India’s External Affairs Ministry had earlier said that cooperation in the power and energy sector has become one of the crucial pillars of India-Bangladesh relations. The Adani Group, however, recently sent a letter to the Bangladesh government over its unpaid USD 800 million power supply bill while Bangladesh’s state-run Power Development Board said they had already paid USD 150 million despite its dollar crisis and was expecting to pay the full amount. Adani’s Godda thermal plant was set up exclusively to supply power to Bangladesh but India recently changed a law allowing the Indian company to sell the Godda power in the domestic market sparking speculation if Bangladesh would get dedicated power supply from the plant. The interim government had earlier formed a committee to examine contracts made under the Quick Enhancement of Electricity and Energy Supply (Special Provisions) Act, 2010 (Amended 2021). The committee was tasked to investigate any allegations of corruption related to the country’s electricity and energy production and supply agencies.CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — CJ Happy scored 16 points off the bench to lead Princeton past Portland, 94-67 to claim the seventh-place trophy at the Myrtle Beach Invitational tournament on Sunday. Happy went 7 of 9 from the field (2 for 4 from 3-point range) for the Tigers (5-3). Caden Pierce went 6 of 8 from the field (3 for 4 from 3-point range) to add 15 points. Blake Peters shot 5 for 11, including 4 for 10 from beyond the arc to finish with 14 points. The Pilots (2-5) were led by Vukasin Masic, who posted 12 points and four assists. Mikah Ballew added 12 points for Portland. Jinup Dobuol finished with 10 points. Princeton took the lead with 19:43 left in the first half and did not relinquish it. The score was 52-29 at halftime, with Pierce racking up 15 points. Princeton extended its lead to 61-29 during the second half, fueled by a 9-0 scoring run. Malik Abdullahi scored a team-high eight points in the second half as their team closed out the win. Princeton next plays Wednesday against Nazareth at home, and Portland will host Denver on Sunday. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .Wall Street's main indexes have closed largely unchanged, amid light trading the day after the Christmas break, as rising US Treasury yields weighed on some of the dominant technology megacaps. or signup to continue reading On a day of few catalysts, investors responded to yields on US government bonds inching higher, including the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note hitting its highest since early May at 4.64 per cent earlier in the session. A strong auction of seven-year notes early on Thursday afternoon though helped yields come off slightly, with the 10-year note at 4.58 per cent in late-afternoon trade. Higher yields are traditionally seen as negative for growth stocks, as it raises the cost of their borrowing to fund expansion. With markets increasingly dominated by the megacap technology stocks known as the Magnificent Seven, crimping their performance - especially in lieu of other market catalysts - will put downward pressure on benchmark indexes. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 lost 2.66 points, or 0.04 per cent, to end at 6,037.09 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 10.74 points, or 0.05 per cent, to 20,020.38. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 28.52 points, or 0.06 per cent, to 43,325.55. Among those megacap stocks, Tesla. Amazon.com and Meta Platforms slipped. Apple increased, continuing to edge closer to becoming the first company in the world to hit a market value of $US4 ($A6.4) trillion. The megacap tech stocks came off somewhat in the summer, as investors sought to rotate some capital into other sectors offering more value. Since the US elections in November though, they have resumed their drive upwards and have outperformed the equal-weighted version of the S&P 500, said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist for LPL Financial. "As a technician, what you want to see is breakouts in absolute terms and relative terms and the Mag 7 is checking the boxes there, so very constructive leadership going into the year-end," he said. The three main indexes have hit multiple record highs this year on hopes of a lower interest rate environment and the prospects of artificial intelligence boosting corporate profits. However, US stocks have hit a speed bump in the final month of the year following an election-led rally in November as investors assess the Federal Reserve's projection of fewer interest rate cuts in 2025. Looking ahead, LPL Financial's Turnquist said the last few weeks have seen significant reliance on the Magnificent Seven stocks driving markets higher, and we may be starting to see the cracks in this momentum. Therefore, to see further benchmark index increases, we will need to see input from other sectors of the economy. Markets in Europe, London and parts of Asia were closed on Thursday. One data release on Thursday showed the number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits dipped to the lowest in a month last week, consistent with a cooling but still healthy US labour market. Markets are in a seasonally strong period - called the "Santa Claus rally" - a pattern attributed to low liquidity, tax-loss harvesting and investing of year-end bonuses. The S&P 500 has gained an average of 1.3 per cent in the last five trading days of December and the first two days of January since 1969, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac. Cryptocurrency-related stocks were down after bitcoin declined. MicroStrategy, MARA Holdings and Coinbase Global all fell. Among the 11 S&P sectors which traded lower were consumer discretionary and the energy index, which tracked marginal weakness in US crude prices. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican President-elect Donald Trump's picks for his Cabinet have included some historic firsts, though women and people of color make up less of the overall number than they did when Democratic President Joe Biden first took office. HISTORIC FIRSTS Florida political operative Susie Wiles, who ran Trump's 2024 campaign, is set to be the first woman to hold the high-profile position of White House chief of staff. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, Trump's pick for Secretary of State, would be the first person of Hispanic origin to hold that role if confirmed by his fellow senators. Hedge fund executive Scott Bessent, nominee for Treasury Secretary, could become the first openly gay Republican Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate. The investor lives in South Carolina with his husband and two children. Former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard, with roots in both Samoan and Hawaiian cultures, would be the first director of national intelligence from the Pacific Islander community, according to Inclusive America, a non-profit that tracks diversity in government. GENDER GAP Trump has chosen eight women so far for his Cabinet, doubling the number from his first-term Cabinet selection. This is less than Biden's first Cabinet made up of 11 women, which then rose to 13, a historical high for women serving concurrently, according to the Center for American Women and Politics. That compares with eight women during Barack Obama's presidential Cabinet, five for George W. Bush and nine for Bill Clinton, according to the Center's data. RACE BREAKDOWN Trump has so far picked four people of color for his Cabinet, representing about a fifth of it. That number is in line with his first term, but trails their roughly 40% share of the full U.S. population, according to the U.S. Census. The number is also well below Biden's Cabinet, which included 13 people of color, Obama's with 10, Bush's with six and Clinton's with eight, according to Inclusive America. GENERATIONAL BREAKDOWN While Trump will be the oldest president to take office at age 78 - about five months older than Biden was at his Jan. 20, 2021 inauguration - the president-elect has chosen millennial and Gen-Z women for top roles. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, 40, the nominee for United Nations ambassador, will be the youngest person to hold this position if confirmed by the Senate. Karoline Leavitt, 27, is also set to be the youngest White House press secretary ever, taking the highly visible job after working on Trump's 2024 campaign. EXPERIENCE At least 16 of Trump's Cabinet picks so far have experience in state or federal government, but not all in the direct field or department that they could oversee. Three of the picks come from the industries that the secretaries will regulate: Bessent, Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick and Energy Secretary nominee Chris Wright. DIDN'T I SEE YOU ON TV? Many of the Cabinet selections have been TV regulars in recent years advocating on air for Trump's agenda. But for at least four high-level selections, television has been their recent day job. This includes Dr. Mehmet Oz, who used to have his own medical talk show and has now been tapped to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Trump's picks also include three recent Fox News employees: Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, Transportation Secretary nominee Sean Duffy, and Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, Trump's pick for U.S. Surgeon General.

Enzo Maresca savoured chants of ‘we’ve got our Chelsea back’ from travelling fans following a 5-1 Premier League thrashing of 10-man Southampton at St Mary’s. Blues supporters also sang the name of head coach Maresca during the closing stages of an emphatic success sealed by goals from Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and substitute Jadon Sancho. Bottom club Southampton briefly levelled through Joe Aribo but were a man down from the 39th minute after captain Jack Stephens was sent off for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella. Chelsea, who have endured an underwhelming period since Todd Boehly’s consortium bought the club in 2022, climbed above Arsenal and into second place on goal difference, seven points behind leaders Liverpool. The Blues have scored 57 goals in 22 matches in all comps this season, our best goals-per-game ratio in a single season in our history. 💙 #CFC | #SOUCHE pic.twitter.com/Xrx1SaM3aK — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) December 4, 2024 “It was a very good feeling, especially because you can see that they are happy, that is our target,” Maresca said of the atmosphere in the away end. “We work every day to keep them happy and tonight was a very good feeling, especially the one that they can see that Chelsea’s back. This is an important thing.” Maresca rotated his squad in Hampshire, making seven changes following Sunday’s impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Following a sloppy start, his side, who stretched their unbeaten run to six top-flight games, could easily have won by more as they hit the woodwork three times, in addition to squandering a host of chances. “I’m very happy with the five we scored,” said the Italian. “I’m not happy with the first 15, 20 minutes, where we struggled. The reason why we struggled is because we prepared the game to press them man to man and the first 15, 20 minutes we were not pressing them man to man. “After 15, 20 minutes we adjust that and the game was much better. For sure we could score more but five goals they are enough.” Southampton manager Russell Martin rued a costly “moment of madness” from skipper Stephens. The defender’s ridiculous red card was the headline mistake of a catalogue of errors from the beleaguered south-coast club as they slipped seven points from safety following an 11th defeat of a dismal season. “I don’t think anyone will be as disappointed as Jack,” Martin said of Stephens, who was sent off for the second time this term after tugging the curls of Cucurella as Saints prepared to take a corner. “I haven’t got to sit down and talk with him about that at all. He will be hurt more than anyone and it’s changed the game for us tonight, which is disappointing. “I think they have to describe it as violent conduct; it’s not violent really but there’s no other explanation for that really. It’s a moment of madness that’s really cost us and Jack.” Southampton repeatedly invited pressure with their risky attempts to play out from defence, with goalkeeper Joe Lumley gifting Chelsea their second goal, scored by Nkunku. While Saints were booed off at full-time, Martin, who was missing a host of key players due to injuries and suspensions, praised the effort of his depleted team. “When they see such a big scoreline and a couple of the goals we concede, I understand it (the jeers),” he said. “It’s football, it’s emotive, people feel so much about it, it’s why it’s such a special sport in this country and so big. “I understand it but I feel really proud of the players tonight, some of the football we played at 11 v 11 was amazing. “For an hour with 10 men we’ve dug in so deep, there were some big performances. I’m proud of them for that and I’m grateful for that because that’s not easy in that circumstance.”
