How F1 teams are turning to AI to improve performance on the trackManmohan Singh, the former Indian prime minister whose economic reforms made his country a global powerhouse, has died at the age of 92, current leader Narendra Modi said Thursday. India "mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders," Modi posted on social media platform X shortly after news broke of Singh's passing. "As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people's lives." Singh was taken to a hospital in New Delhi after he lost consciousness at his home on Thursday, but could not be resuscitated and was pronounced dead at 9:51 pm local time, according to a statement by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. Singh, who held office from 2004 to 2014, is credited with having overseen an economic boom in Asia's fourth-largest economy in his first term, although slowing growth in later years marred his second stint. "I have lost a mentor and guide," opposition Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said in a statement, adding that Singh had "led India with immense wisdom and integrity." "Millions of us who admired him will remember him with the utmost pride," said Gandhi, a scion of India's powerful Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and the most prominent challenger to Modi. Mallikarjun Kharge, leader of the opposition in parliament's upper house, said "India has lost a visionary statesman, a leader of unimpeachable integrity, and an economist of unparalleled stature." President Droupadi Murmu wrote on X that Singh will "always be remembered for his service to the nation, his unblemished political life and his utmost humility." - 'Mr Clean' - Born in 1932 in the mud-house village of Gah in what is now Pakistan, Singh studied economics to find a way to eradicate poverty in India and never held elected office before taking the vast nation's top job. He won scholarships to attend both Cambridge, where he obtained a first in economics, and Oxford, where he completed his PhD. Singh worked in a string of senior civil posts, served as a central bank governor and also held various jobs with global agencies including the United Nations. He was tapped in 1991 by then Congress prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao to reel India back from the worst financial crisis in its modern history. In his first term Singh steered the economy through a period of nine-percent growth, lending India the international clout it had long sought. He also sealed a landmark nuclear deal with the United States that he said would help India meet its growing energy needs. Known as "Mr Clean", Singh nonetheless saw his image tarnished during his decade-long tenure when a series of corruption cases became public. Several months before the 2014 elections, Singh said he would retire after the polls, with Sonia Gandhi's son Rahul earmarked to take his place if Congress won. But Congress crashed to its worst-ever result at that time as the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Modi, won in a landslide. Singh -- who said historians would be kinder to him than contemporary detractors -- became a vocal critic of Modi's economic policies, and more recently warned about the risks that rising communal tensions posed to India's democracy. bjt/mlm Originally published as India's former PM Manmohan Singh dies aged 92 Breaking News Don't miss out on the headlines from Breaking News.

Seibert misses an extra point late as the Commanders lose their 3rd in a row, 34-26 to the Cowboys'Gone too soon': grieving community mourns two teensArsenal royally showed Manchester City how it's done in Lisbon with a breath-taking 5-1 victory against Sporting on Tuesday night. The Gunners emphatically returned to winning ways in Europe after tasting defeat at Inter Milan last time out, warning Liverpool that City aren't the team they should be worried about in the Premier League title race. Bukayo Saka 's 65th-minute penalty and Leandro Trossard's late rebound header followed Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Magalhaes' first-half strikes. Goncalo Inacio netted a consolation goal for the hosts, who looked like a shadow of the team that demolished City a few weeks ago without the charisma and tactical nouse of former boss Ruben Amorim . Express Sport runs through the Arsenal player ratings on a confidence-boosting outing in the Portuguese capital. Arsenal player ratings vs Sporting David Raya: 7 Couldn't have done much to stop Inacio's powerful hit. Looked assured as he made five saves. Jurrien Timber: 8 His creativity goes under the radar. Just as effective in the opponents' half as his own. Pinpoint assist for Martinelli's opener. William Saliba: 7 Dominated his duels and reliably built up from the back. Business as usual. Gabriel Magalhaes: 8 Just as imposing a display as his partner. Bonus point for his powerful header on the brink of half-time. He loves those. Riccardo Calafiori : 5 Won just two of his seven duels. Arsenal 's least impressive player on the night. Thomas Partey: 6 Kept things ticking with a 92 per cent pass accuracy. Declan Rice: 7 Back in action after missing the weekend's Nottingham Forest win. Perfect delivery for Gabriel's headed goal. Martin Odegaard: 6 Created two chances but was less involved in the goals than the scoreline suggests. So, so good on the ball though. Arsenal missed him dearly. Bukayo Saka : 8 A goal from the penalty spot to add to his assist earlier in the match. UEFA's Man of the Match, and there can be no complaints at that. Gabriel Martinelli: 7 Wasn't heavily involved on the left wing, taking just 19 touches, but broke the deadlock with poacher positioning and created one chance. man-utd Kai Havertz : 7 Lots of success in his aerial duels and provided the type of poacher's goal that Arsenal need more often from their striker. Mikel Merino: 6 Didn't have much to say in his 20-minute cameo. Leandro Trossard: 7 Reacted quickest to head in Arsenal 's fifth from the bench. Oleksandr Zinchenko: 6 Uninvolved. Didn't do anything wrong. Ethan Nwaneri: 6 Likewise. He had a shot, though. Jakub Kiwior: 5 Couldn't match Viktor Gyokeres for pace just moments after coming on as the Swede burst through and rattled the post late on.Judge weighs whether to order Fani Willis to comply with lawmakers' subpoenas over Trump case

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce doesn’t care about draft position amid struggles: ‘None of that s**t matters’
Both Oklahoma and Providence are hoping they'll have key pieces back in place when the two undefeated teams square off in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis on Wednesday in Paradise Island, Bahamas. The Friars (5-0) are expected to have Bryce Hopkins available, according to a report from Field of 68. Hopkins was averaging 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds last season before suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament Jan. 3. He returned to full-go practices last week, and Tuesday, Providence coach Kim English said Hopkins would be a "game-time decision" against the Sooners. "It's been a process," English said. "We're not rushing it." But English praised Hopkins' progress since the Friars' last game, Nov. 19, when Hopkins went through pregame warmups. "I thought he looked better than I remembered," English said. "He's been in our system for the past year. His patience, his understanding, his versatility on offense and defense ... it's been great to see him in practice." The Sooners (4-0) are hopeful that they'll get Brycen Goodine back. Goodine played for the Friars for two seasons from 2020-22 before transferring to Fairfield for two seasons and then to Oklahoma this offseason. Goodine suffered an ankle injury in the Sooners' opener Nov. 4 and has not played since. "He's a really tough kid and trying to push through it," Oklahoma coach Porter Moser said. "It will truly be one of those game-time decisions. He hasn't gone a full practice yet, just been pieces of practices." Playing with Goodine and Jadon Jones, expected to be two of the Sooners' top outside shooters, Moser said he's learned plenty about his team's offense. "When you're down those shooters, it's really a great weapon to know that a lot of other guys can knock down the open shot," Moser said. "It's been a huge takeaway." The Sooners have been led by Jalon Moore, who is averaging 18.8 points per game, and freshman Jeremiah Fears, who is averaging 15.5. Providence has been led by senior guard Bensley Joseph, who is averaging 11.8 points and 4.0 assists per game. Oklahoma has not played a game closer than 16 points yet this season, with an average margin of victory of 24 points. Providence has won its five games by an average of nearly 17 points per game. The teams will square off against either Davidson or No. 24 Arizona in the second round Thursday, with the winners playing each other in one semifinal while the losers play in a consolation semifinal. --Field Level Media

PHILADELPHIA — Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, said he was “shocked” by President-elect Donald Trump’s choice of anti-vaccine activist and former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services. Calling Kennedy an “agent of chaos in the vaccination world,” Offit asserted that under Kennedy, a vaccine denier , “children could suffer that chaos.” Trump announced Kennedy’s selection last week. The move follows Kennedy’s decision in August to endorse Trump and withdraw his own independent candidacy in key states, including Pennsylvania. “I’m going to let him go wild on health,” Trump said of Kennedy at an October rally in New York. “I’m going to let him go wild on food. I’m going to let him go wild on medicines.” For years, Kennedy, a conspiracy theorist, has said that vaccines cause autism , a falsehood that has been disproven multiple times by dozens of scientists around the world. “RFK Jr. is a dangerous man,” Offit said. “This decision is completely and utterly depressing.” Offit and Kennedy connected 20 years ago when Kennedy called to ask whether thimerosal , a compound safely used as a preservative in vaccines, caused cancer. “I assured him it was untrue — that it had been removed from all vaccines by 2001,” said Offit, coinventor of the rotavirus vaccine, which attacks the virus that can lead to fatal diarrhea in children. But Kennedy disregarded Offit’s expertise, and has been blaming vaccines for autism ever since. “RFK Jr. has become a science denialist,” Offit said. “If you present him with science, he’ll ignore it if it goes against a bias he has.” Kennedy’s team did not comment after receiving a list of questions, as well as Offit’s statements. As head of HHS, Kennedy wouldn’t have direct authority to ban vaccines, according to reporting by The Hill . But Offit and others say he’ll stay have powerful influence over the agencies that regulate vaccines, with the authority to reduce funding, or remove protections vaccine makers usually have. Kennedy has promised to “ Make America Healthy Again ,” imitating Trump’s slogan. Aside from his pledge to “expose the flaws in vaccine science,” Kennedy said he’d battle chronic disease in America by “breaking the stranglehold of the processed food lobby,” and working to “clear out corruption” at America’s health agencies, which could involve eliminating entire departments. Kennedy has also proposed combating the chronic disease epidemic by addressing the root causes such as poor diet, environmental toxins, and inadequate healthcare. He’s also called to reduce harmful chemicals and toxins from America’s food, water, and air. In October, Kennedy said in a post on the social platform X the he won’t “take anyone’s vaccines away from them. I just want to be sure every American knows the safety profile, the risk profile, and the efficacy of each vaccine. That’s it.” Offit doesn’t find reassurance in this promise, arguing that Kennedy’s selection will help amplify anti-vaccine rhetoric. “Just the mere fact he’s being considered for this job will validate some parents’ fears about vaccinations. Even now in kindergarten, measles and whooping cough vaccines are being refused by parents in some cases.” Kennedy has spread other health misinformation , saying: the use of vaccinations is akin to the Holocaust ; the coronavirus vaccine is the “ deadliest” created by man; drinking water can change children’s gender identity ; fluoride in water can lower IQ ; the coronavirus was “ethnically targeted” to prevent Jews and Chinese people from succumbing to COVID-19; WiFi causes cancer; drinking raw milk, which can contain E. coli and listeria, should be encouraged ; and antidepressants are to blame for school shootings. Kennedy will sometimes further confuse people by denying saying things he has. For example, he recently said he’s “never been anti-vaccine,” and that “no vaccine” is safe and effective. But last November, FactCheck.org , part of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, said that’s incorrect . The nonprofit discovered a Lex Fridman podcast Kennedy had done in July 2023 in which he said, “There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.” Offit said he can’t understand Kennedy’s nomination. “Why would you put this person in charge of agencies based on science? He makes things up. He’s just a liar.” ©2024 The Philadelphia Inquirer, LLC. Visit at inquirer.com .

ARNE SLOT’S vision is crystal clear now – even if it did get a bit murky for a while tonight and not just because of the fog that blanketed Anfield. For a first Premier League title in his first season as Liverpool manager is now on the horizon. With a lead at the top extended to seven points, with a game in hand over second–placed Chelsea, it is for more than just a shimmering image in the distance. Behind to Jordan Ayew’s shock early effort, they simply eased past the valiant but ultimately vain challenge offered by Ruud van Nistlerooy’s side. Slot’s debut campaign in English football is only gaining speed, powered by an unbeaten run that now stretches to a stunning 22 games since his only defeat to Nottingham Forest on September 14. Triumph, not even half a season after succeeding Jurgen Klopp in a job many feared might be impossible because of the huge space the German had vacated, is in his hands. All he and his players, also, of course, top of the Champions League table have to do is stay steady, keep believing, and it will surely be theirs. Although not for the first time this season their start to a game was anything but steady as Ayew produced a stunning opener. Slot will fret in his quieter moments that for all his determination to make his defence a more dependable unit he still has work to do. Yet going forward, Liverpool are becoming a juggernaut and have scored two or more goals in 13 of their last 14 games. Indeed they have also overtaken Tottenham as the Prem’s top scorers. The fog created concerns that this clash might have to be called off and even ten minutes before kick-off Anfield was clothed in murk. Yet within three minutes, Leicester were being dazzled by their opponent’s full–beam attack. Polish goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk, making his Prem debut in place of Danny Ward, will have been wondering what hit him. Ward, targeted by the club’s boo-boys in Sunday’s 3-0 humiliation against Wolves, didn’t even make the bench having also come on at half-time in the 4-0 defeat by Newcastle. Yet dreams for the 24-year-old who spent the second half of last season on loan at Hartlepool cannot have been made of that panic stations start. For he was a Fox stuck in the headlights as Slot’s men tried to walk the ball into the net before Salah’s stab hit a post. But rather than lie down, Van Nistelrooy’s side, without injured icon Jamie Vardy, were ahead - maybe to their own amazement – three minutes later. Left winger Stephy Mavididi went for it down the flank against Trent Alexander-Arnold and not for the first time this season the star under Real Madrid’s spotlight found himself beaten. Mavididi steadied himself before squaring and Ayew then performed brilliantly. As Andy Robertson moved tight to close down, the former Crystal Palace veteran produced a magical pirouette to then fire a perfect low shot passed the bog–smacked Alisson and inside his right–hand post. Slot’s side may well have gone into the game believing their own publicity given how so many around them have been declaring that the title is theirs to lose. But if they took it too easy in that first attack it did actually seem too easy for them as they continued to power forward. Cody Gakpo got unfortunate with one shot, Salah saw his effort deflected only inches over the bar. And in the 25 th minute, Robertson stole into the box to connect with Alexis Mac Allister’s chip, his header hitting almost exactly the same spot that had denied his Egyptian team-mate. Van Nistelrooy’s strugglers couldn’t keep riding their luck, however, although there was nothing fortunate at all about Gakpo’s equaliser. It was simply down to sheer class. Slot’s fellow countryman gathered the ball on the left flank, checked inside and then let fly with a tremendous, curling right–footer that Stolarczyk could only watch as it glided past him and into his top left-hand corner. That goal came a few seconds before first-half injury time. Four minutes after the break Slot’s men were celebrating again. And once again there was something special about the way they cut their way through Leicester’s massed ranks before Salah slid the ball across the box and Jones was there to calmly flick over the line. A VAR check for offside was needed to confirm the strike on what as the midfielder’s 100 th Prem appearance but there was no question of how high–end that goal was from start to finish. Leicester weren’t quite finished yet and Alisson dodged a bullet after an hour. For had Patson Daka stayed calm he would surely have tucked away another clever pass from Mavididi but instead he mis–kicked a dozen yards out. Having taken the hint Liverpool went back into high–energy attacking mode and Darwin Nunez – given a start to give No1 striker Diogo Jota a break – finally emerged from his own brain fog. His strike from Salah’s cross looked perfect to be fair to the mercurial Uruguayan but Stolarczyk excelled himself with a heroic block. Gakpo thought he had claimed a second after smashing a shot into the net only for a VAR check that seemed to take forever to cancel with Nunez minutely offside. Yet the third was always going to come and almost always when a killer blow is required, it once more came from Salah. He gathered the ball, moved forward in that usual quick fashion of his, then when Van Nistelrooy’s defence thought they were sorted to blight the danger, he simply used Victor Kristiansen as a wall to block his dart inside before curling another exquisite shot beyond a goalkeeper.

Work and pensions minister Sir Stephen Timms said the move aims to drive “real improvements” for disabled people, whom the ministers will be encouraged to engage with on a regular basis. He told the Commons: “I am very pleased to be able to announce today the appointment of new lead ministers for disability in each Government department, they will represent the interests of disabled people, champion disability inclusion and accessibility within their departments. “I’m going to chair regular meetings with them and will encourage them to engage directly with disabled people and their representative organisations, as they take forward their departmental priorities. “And I look forward to this new group of lead ministers for disability together driving real improvements across Government for disabled people.” This came during an adjournment debate on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, where Liberal Democrat MP Steve Darling raised concerns about “floating bus stops”, which have a cycle lane between the stop and the pavement. Intervening, the MP for Torbay, who is registered blind, said: “The Government needs to ban floating bus stops.” Sir Stephen said: “I do think this issue about floating bus stops is an important issue which we need to work across Government to reflect on.” Labour MP Debbie Abrahams, who led the debate, had earlier criticised the lack of accessibility for disabled people on trains. The Oldham East and Saddleworth MP said: “Our train network does not have level access, and we heard Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson from the other place make this plea back in the summer, absolutely outrageous what she was put through. “But I was absolutely shocked to find, when I had a presentation of the TransPennine route upgrade, that the rolling stock yet to be commissioned is not going to provide that level access. “It’s absolute nonsense, it’s not even in the design of that procurement, so we must do better than this.”
