Head coach Richie Murphy believes Ulster's 17-7 win over Connacht in Galway can be a "big moment" in the careers of some of his young squad. The northern province ended a five-game losing streak with the interpro victory and lifted themselves from 13th to eighth in the United Rugby Championship [URC] table. With Irish internationals Jacob Stockdale, Rob Baloucoune, James Hume and Stuart McCloskey all missing through injury, Ulster arguably had just one of their preferred outside backs available, and Mike Lowry played the game despite suffering from a dead leg. Up front, Alan O'Connor and Rob Herring were late scratches from a pack already without skipper Iain Henderson. "We're delighted to get the win," Murphy said. "Before travelling up during the week we lost a few boys and even in the warm-up we lost Rob Herring. "We're missing a lot of experience out on the pitch. For the boys to come in and do as well as they done, and for those backs to come in and play the likes of Bundee [Aki] and Mack [Hansen], is massively exciting for us." Ulster had been without a win of any kind since beating Ospreys on 18 October with Murphy now wanting to see those young players who performed so well in Galway go on to drive greater competition in the squad once the injury issues ease. "Every win is worth the same amount of points, so it's just another win," he added. "But off the back of five losses, off the back of the players that we're missing, that's a huge moment in the careers of some of the younger guys. "The challenge for them will be getting better every week and trying to become more comfortable at this level. Competition within the squad is what we need and that's the challenge from now on." With no game next weekend - Ulster are next in action away to Leicester Tigers in the Champions Cup on 11 January - there will be some time to get injured players back, although Murphy said it was likely only Ethan McIlroy, Stewart Moore and Henderson would be in the frame to return at Welford Road.THE TIMING COULDN’T have worked out better for Ireland’s political parties. A general election round the corner, and lo and behold! A €14 billion Apple has fallen from the magic money tree. The first €3 billion of the sum was transferred to the Irish Exchequer earlier this very month, with billions more to come before the end of the year. Just before the Budget in October, Finance Minister Jack Chambers said the extra cash would be invested in a variety of infrastructure projects, including housing, energy, water and transport. The official spending plan was meant to be approved in early 2025. But where’s the fun in that? The decision to call an election before Christmas, rather than allowing the government to run its full term until early in the new year, means the pot of gold is now up for grabs. That’s why we’ve asked all of Ireland’s major political groups how they would spend the Apple tax money – here’s what they had to say. On housing, €4 billion will go to the Land Development Agency (LDA), the state body tasked with getting affordable homes built on state sites. €2 billion will also go to a new ‘Towns Investment Fund’. €2.5 billion is to be spent improving Ireland’s creaking electricity grid, while €3 billion is to go to Irish Water for similar reasons. On transport, €3.6 billion will go to the slightly vague area of ‘the improvement of transport networks countrywide’, while €2 billion will go towards improving digital technology in the healthcare system. The party wants most of the Apple money to go into housing. Part of this will go into extending two grants for first-time buyers: the Help-to-Buy grant will be increased from a maximum of €30,000 to €40,000 until 2030; and the First Home Scheme will be extended to second-hand homes for five more years. Another part of the money for housing will go into increased building. While €4 billion will go on various energy, water and transport projects. The party said it will give a more detailed plan for the allocation of the funds ‘within 100 days of taking office’. Sinn Féin’s premier idea for the Apple tax money is to start an ‘Equality for Communities Fund’. The money would be allocated on the basis of the Pobal Index, the national deprivation index. The funds would be used for the likes of sports facilities, arts facilities and public spaces. It also said slightly over half the money, €7.6 billion, would be used to build affordable housing. Other key areas the money would be spent on include €2 billion in health, €2.5 billion on a renewable energy fund and €1 billion on redress for Celtic Tiger-era housing defects. Like many parties, housing features heavily in Labour’s plans for the Apple tax money. €6 billion would go towards setting up a new state construction company, which would be developed through the LDA. €1 billion would go on works, such as developing water infrastructure, which would make the land suitable for development. On the climate front, €1 billion would be reserved for offshore wind, while €2.5 billion each would go towards a National Retrofitting Plan and then to developing large-scale transport projects. Finally, €1 billion would be set aside for modernising the health service, such as by digitising records. Approximately €7 billion will go towards major transport projects in urban centres. The party has suggested that this could include the likes of a Luas tram line in Cork. This would be part of a €10 billion transport plan, with the remaining €3 billion coming from unidentified ‘other sources’. The focus would be on major infrastructure projects, such as Metrolink, Luas extensions and heavy rail projects. As mentioned, the €14 billion would be split between housing and climate measures. The party told : ‘50,000 affordable purchase homes and 25,000 affordable rental homes would be delivered’. On the climate side of things, the party said potential projects would include ‘investing in State-owned renewable energy’ and additional grants for retrofitting and solar panels. “Infrastructure, Infrastructure Infrastructure,” leader Peadar Tóibín wrote on X, formerly Twitter, recently, adding that Ireland is “creaking at the seams”. Key areas aligned with those identified by other parties – housing, transport, energy and health. Similar to Labour, PBP wants to use the Apple tax money to set up a state building company. An indication of the scale envisaged is indicated from their comparison to Ireland’s two biggest private housebuilders, Cairn and Glenveagh. “[They] build less than 2,500 homes a year – we need tens of thousands,” the party said. “Funded with the Apple tax revenues, such a body can easily access the land, finance and labour that are needed at scale to directly build at least 35,000 social and affordable homes per year.” The group has not given a detailed breakdown on the Apple funds. Richard O’Donoghue, one of Independent Ireland’s TDs, said in a recent Dáil debate that the Apple tax money should be used for infrastructure, specifically highlighting the lack of affordable housebuilding.

( MENAFN - KNN India) New Delhi, Nov 30 (KNN) In the financial year 2024-25, nine Indian states have earmarked a total of USD 18 billion for ongoing or proposed cash transfer schemes for women, a significant move that accounts for 0.5 per cent of India's GDP, according to Goldman Sachs Global Research. These schemes have emerged as key Political tools for state governments, offering direct financial benefits to women while aiming to secure political support ahead of elections. One of the standout examples is Maharashtra, where the Mahayuti alliance led by the BJP has successfully used the“Ladki Bahin Yojana” to win its second consecutive term. Launched by outgoing Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in 2024, the scheme offers Rs 1,500 per month to eligible women between the ages of 21 and 60, provided their households earn less than Rs 3 lakh annually. With a budget allocation of USD 5.4 billion-1.1 per cent of the state's GDP-Maharashtra has the largest share of this budget among all states. Karnataka follows closely, having launched its own scheme in 2023, with a budget of USD 3.6 billion, or 1 per cent of its GDP. Haryana, with a proposed allocation of USD 2.5 billion, promises the highest per capita transfer of Rs 2,100 a month to women above 18 years from households with an income of less than Rs 2 lakh annually. Other states like Madhya Pradesh and Delhi also feature prominently, though with smaller allocations, particularly Delhi's modest budget of USD 0.2 billion. Goldman Sachs predicts that the schemes will have varying economic impacts. Haryana's program is expected to consume 1.7 per cent of its GDP, while states like Delhi and Tamil Nadu will see a relatively smaller fiscal impact, at 0.2 per cent and 0.4 per cent, respectively. The rise of such cash transfers-beginning with Assam in 2020 and followed by West Bengal in 2021-has marked a trend of gender-focused financial inclusion, where direct benefits to women are increasingly becoming central to political strategies.

Germany is to vote in an early election on February 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalise the country’s stagnant economy. Mr Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag – a sister publication of Politico owned by the Axel Springer Group – published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month that he has supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD. “The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the last spark of hope for this country,” he wrote in his translated commentary. He went on to say that the far-right party “can lead the country into a future where economic prosperity, cultural integrity and technological innovation are not just wishes, but reality”. The Tesla Motors chief executive also wrote that his investment in Germany gives him the right to comment on the country’s condition. The AfD is polling strongly, but its candidate for the top job, Alice Weidel, has no realistic chance of becoming chancellor because other parties refuse to work with the far-right party. Billionaire Mr Musk, an ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, challenged in his opinion piece the party’s public image. “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Mr Musk’s commentary has led to a debate in German media over the boundaries of free speech, with the paper’s own opinion editor announcing her resignation, pointedly on Mr Musk’s social media platform, X. Eva Marie Kogel wrote: “I always enjoyed leading the opinion section of WELT and WAMS. Today an article by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. I handed in my resignation yesterday after it went to print.” A critical article by the future editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Jan Philipp Burgard, accompanied Mr Musk’s opinion piece. “Musk’s diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally wrong,” he wrote. Responding to a request for comment from the German Press Agency, dpa, the current editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Ulf Poschardt, and Mr Burgard – who is due to take over on January 1 – said in a joint statement that the discussion over Mr Musk’s piece was “very insightful. Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression.” “This will continue to determine the compass of the ‘world’ in the future. We will develop ‘Die Welt’ even more decisively as a forum for such debates,” they wrote to dpa.ATLANTA — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who tried to restore virtue to the White House after the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, then rebounded from a landslide defeat to become a global advocate of human rights and democracy, has died. He was 100 years old . The Carter Center said the 39th president died Sunday afternoon, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died in November 2023, lived most of their lives. The center said he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. As reaction poured in from around the world, President Joe Biden mourned Carter’s death, saying the world lost an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian” and he lost a dear friend. Biden cited Carter’s compassion and moral clarity, his work to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless and advocacy for the disadvantaged as an example for others. “To all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility,” Biden said in a statement. “He showed that we are a great nation because we are a good people – decent and honorable, courageous and compassionate, humble and strong.” Biden said he is ordering a state funeral for Carter in Washington. A moderate Democrat, Carter ran for president in 1976 as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad grin, effusive Baptist faith and technocratic plans for efficient government. His promise to never deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter said. Carter’s victory over Republican Gerald Ford, whose fortunes fell after pardoning Nixon, came amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over race, women’s rights and America’s role in the world. His achievements included brokering Mideast peace by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David for 13 days in 1978. But his coalition splintered under double-digit inflation and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His negotiations ultimately brought all the hostages home alive, but in a final insult, Iran didn’t release them until the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, who had trounced him in the 1980 election. Humbled and back home in Georgia, Carter said his faith demanded that he keep doing whatever he could, for as long as he could, to try to make a difference. He and Rosalynn co-founded The Carter Center in 1982 and spent the next 40 years traveling the world as peacemakers, human rights advocates and champions of democracy and public health. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Carter helped ease nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiate cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, the center had monitored at least 113 elections around the world. Carter was determined to eradicate guinea worm infections as one of many health initiatives. Swinging hammers into their 90s, the Carters built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The common observation that he was better as an ex-president rankled Carter. His allies were pleased that he lived long enough to see biographers and historians revisit his presidency and declare it more impactful than many understood at the time. Propelled in 1976 by voters in Iowa and then across the South, Carter ran a no-frills campaign. Americans were captivated by the earnest engineer, and while an election-year Playboy interview drew snickers when he said he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times,” voters tired of political cynicism found it endearing. The first family set an informal tone in the White House, carrying their own luggage, trying to silence the Marine Band’s traditional “Hail to the Chief" and enrolling daughter, Amy, in public schools. Carter was lampooned for wearing a cardigan and urging Americans to turn down their thermostats. But Carter set the stage for an economic revival and sharply reduced America's dependence on foreign oil by deregulating the energy industry along with airlines, trains and trucking. He established the departments of Energy and Education, appointed record numbers of women and nonwhites to federal posts, preserved millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness and pardoned most Vietnam draft evaders. Emphasizing human rights , he ended most support for military dictators and took on bribery by multinational corporations by signing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He persuaded the Senate to ratify the Panama Canal treaties and normalized relations with China, an outgrowth of Nixon’s outreach to Beijing. But crippling turns in foreign affairs took their toll. When OPEC hiked crude prices, making drivers line up for gasoline as inflation spiked to 11%, Carter tried to encourage Americans to overcome “a crisis of confidence.” Many voters lost confidence in Carter instead after the infamous address that media dubbed his “malaise" speech, even though he never used that word. After Carter reluctantly agreed to admit the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979. Negotiations to quickly free the hostages broke down, and then eight Americans died when a top-secret military rescue attempt failed. Carter also had to reverse course on the SALT II nuclear arms treaty after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Though historians would later credit Carter's diplomatic efforts for hastening the end of the Cold war, Republicans labeled his soft power weak. Reagan’s “make America great again” appeals resonated, and he beat Carter in all but six states. Born Oct. 1, 1924, James Earl Carter Jr. married fellow Plains native Rosalynn Smith in 1946, the year he graduated from the Naval Academy. He brought his young family back to Plains after his father died, abandoning his Navy career, and they soon turned their ambitions to politics . Carter reached the state Senate in 1962. After rural white and Black voters elected him governor in 1970, he drew national attention by declaring that “the time for racial discrimination is over.” Carter published more than 30 books and remained influential as his center turned its democracy advocacy onto U.S. politics, monitoring an audit of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results. After a 2015 cancer diagnosis, Carter said he felt “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.”
BATTON: Reasons to be thankful
Herbert tosses 3 TD passes and Chargers secure a playoff spot with a 40-7 rout of PatriotsTEHRAN- Iranian film “Ahmad,” directed by Amir Abbas Rabiei, has been removed from screening at the 5th Muslim International Film Festival (MIFF) in Toronto, Canada. The film recounts the untold story of the first 18 hours following the devastating 2003 Bam earthquake in Kerman province, highlighting a heroic action by the late Army Brigadier General Ahmad Kazemi. It was scheduled to be screened on Saturday. This decision came after interference from opposition media and a protest by Canadian MP Kevin Vuong, who described the showcasing of a film honoring an IRGC commander as "abhorrent." Due to this pressure, the festival organizers quickly excluded the film from their lineup. The Canadian government designated the IRGC as a terrorist entity in July. This classification allows law enforcement to charge anyone who provides financial or material support to the IRGC, and banks are authorized to freeze its assets. In addition to “Ahmad,” six other short Iranian films are being screened in various sections of the festival, which will run until December 3. One of the most notable soldiers in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, Ahmad Kazemi (1958-2006) mobilized the IRGC AF fleet to rescue the Bam earthquake victims by preparing the Bam Airport in such a way that, a plane and a helicopter flew in every 13 minutes and a total of 30,000 wounded were moved by the IRGC AF fleet. As the Iran–Iraq war began, Kazemi joined the war with a 50-member group in Abadan fronts and began fighting with Iraq. Direct presence at the front-line led to injuries to his leg, hands, and back. After the end of the war, he attended the university and got a BA in geography and a master's degree in management and defense spending. He made his doctoral studies in the field of national defense. Kazemi was appointed to the Air Forces of the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (IRGC AF) Commander in 2000. He was appointed as Commander of the Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in 2005 by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. During his tenure in the IRGC Air Force, Kazemi took effective measures to improve the quality of the air force in terms of organization and structure, and for the first time equipped the IRGC AF with close air support Sukhoi Su-25 aircraft, and equipped the IRGC AF helicopter organization with purchased Mil Mi-17 helicopters. He was killed when the Dassault Falcon 20 plane that was carrying him, alongside 10 other occupants, crashed near Urmia. The plane crash-landed in a field in poor weather conditions. Reports indicate that the crew did not get three greens after selecting the gear down while on approach to Urmia Airport. A fly-past was done so the control tower could observe the status of the landing gear. While circling the airplane suffered a double engine flame-out, reportedly as a result of engine icing. An emergency landing was attempted in a field, but the plane crashed. SAB/It's a numbers game: Biden, 82, and Trump, 78, move up as oldest living presidents after Jimmy Carter's death at 100 By NIKKI SCHWAB, CHIEF CAMPAIGN CORRESPONDENT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 23:40 GMT, 29 December 2024 | Updated: 23:40 GMT, 29 December 2024 e-mail View comments President Joe Biden is now the country's oldest living president with Sunday's death of 100-year-old President Jimmy Carter. Despite Biden presently being in office, the 82-year-old was born before all the country's other living presidents: Bill Clinton , George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump . Trump, 78, is the second oldest living president. He'll be sworn-in again on January 20, 2025. Bush and Clinton are also 78 and were born in the months following Trump. Bush was born on July 6, 1946 and Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, compared to Trump, who was born that year on Flag Day, June 14. The youngest former president is Obama, who turned 63 on August 4. Carter set a record as the longest-living president in American history - the only former president to turn 100 years old, which he did so on October 1. President Joe Biden, 82, is the country's oldest living president, despite there being four men who were in office before him that are still alive after Sunday's death of 100-year-old Jimmy Carter The four other living presidents are younger than Biden including former President Donald Trump (front row, left), George W. Bush (right, standing), Barack Obama (third from left) and Bill Clinton (third from right) He outlived two presidents who served after him - President Ronald Reagan and President George H.W. Bush, the father of Bush 43. Carter was sworn-in in 1977 at age 52. Sixteen American presidents were younger than Carter at the time of their inaugurations - including Clinton and Obama decades later. Reagan ousted Carter from the White House after just one term at the age of 69, turning 70 two weeks later. He had to contend with concerns over his age when he ran for reelection in 1984. During a debate against Democrat Walter Mondale, Reagan was asked if he was too old to be president. Reagan would be 73 when he started a second term. 'I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience,' the Republican famously quipped. Presidents Donald Trump (left), Barack Obama (third from left) and Bill Clinton (fourth from right) are all younger than President Joe Biden, despite holding office years before the 82-year-old commander-in-chief Reagan lived to be 93, passing away on June 5, 2004. Carter also outlived Bush 41 - Reagan's Republican vice president who was elected in 1988 after Reagan served two terms. The senior Bush died at the age of 94 on November 30, 2018. When Biden was sworn-in on January 20, 2021, he was 78 years and 61 days old - which was older than Reagan when Reagan left office. And when Trump is sworn-in next month, he'll be 78 years and 220 days old - meaning he'll leave office even older than Biden in 2029.

Your wallet is getting a workout and your paycheck is shrinking quicker than you can say abracadabra.” These were some of the sentiments shared by a social media user after Kenyans took to social media to show how the new payslips will look like after statutory deductions as of October. While some deductions may be up for debate, the public needs clear communication to understand the importance of contributions such as NSSF for securing their financial future. Many workers feel that their payslips are increasingly loaded with deductions, leaving less in their hands each month and raising questions about whether this is truly in their best interest. The outcry is understandable; amid a rising cost of living, more deductions may seem like just one more setback. However, if approached with clear and transparent communication, Kenyans can understand that these deductions are essential investments toward a secure future. The original NSSF contributions were capped at Sh400 for each employee, a figure unchanged since the fund’s inception over 50 years ago. Inflation and evolving economic challenges have rendered this amount inadequate to support a comfortable retirement, with many Kenyans retiring only to struggle financially due to insufficient savings. The increased contributions aim to address this issue by gradually building a larger retirement fund, ultimately providing Kenyans with a more stable income after they leave the workforce. Unfortunately, this message has not been communicated effectively. Without a clear understanding of why these changes are necessary, workers naturally interpret the increase as another burden rather than a benefit. Public backlash against financial reforms often stems from a lack of clarity, and the situation with NSSF is no different. The government, employers, and NSSF administrators have a responsibility to explain to the public how these deductions work, what they fund, and the benefits employees can expect to receive. There is a clear opportunity to educate the public on how retirement funds grow over time, emphasizing that NSSF contributions are not simply “money lost” but rather “money saved.” For example, providing clear, illustrated examples of how contributions will benefit Kenyans in their retirement years could go a long way toward changing perceptions. Showing how a consistent, small monthly deduction can grow into a significant retirement fund over time could illustrate the value of saving early and consistently. Digital tools Additionally, the NSSF could provide tools to help employees track their contributions, estimated interest, and projected pension benefits. If employees can see their retirement fund’s growth, it becomes easier to appreciate the sacrifice now for the security later. Countries with strong social security systems prioritise education around pensions. For example, in Singapore - our promised benchmark - the Central Provident Fund regularly publishes easy-to-understand information, including calculators, online dashboards, and retirement planning tools, all of which make it easy for citizens to track their progress and understand how contributions benefit them. Stay informed. Subscribe to our newsletter Kenya could adopt a similar approach, developing a suite of digital tools to empower citizens. Many Kenyans are tech-savvy, and a digital platform with a focus on transparency, accessible from mobile devices, could quickly bridge the gap. Employers play an influential role in this communication process. By explaining to their employees how the increased contributions will benefit them, they can help calm anxiety and build trust. Encouraging businesses to offer workshops or informational sessions on retirement planning and the importance of NSSF contributions would create a valuable bridge between the government’s goals and the public’s understanding.
