Christmas Island is 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) west of the Australian mainland, with a small population of 1,250, but strategically located in the Indian Ocean, 350 kilometers (215 miles) from Jakarta. The cable announcement comes as the Australian and U.S. militaries upgrade airfields in Australia's north, where a rotating force of U.S. Marines will be joined by Japanese troops next year. Google's vice president of global network infrastructure, Brian Quigley, said in a statement the Bosun cable will link Darwin to Christmas Island, while another subsea cable will connect Melbourne on Australia's east coast to the west coast city of Perth, then on to Christmas Island and Singapore. Australia is seeking to reduce its exposure to digital disruption by building more subsea cable pathways to Asia to its west, and through the South Pacific to the United States. "These new cable systems will not only expand and strengthen the resilience of Australia's own digital connectivity through new and diversified routes but will also complement the Government's active work with industry and government partners to support secure, resilient and reliable connectivity across the Pacific," Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said in a statement. The other partners in the cable project include Australian data center company NextDC, Macquarie-backed telecommunications group Vocus, and SUBCO. SUBCO previously built an Indian Ocean cable from Perth to Oman, with spurs to the U.S. military base of Diego Garcia, and Cocos Islands, where Australia is upgrading a runway for defense surveillance aircraft. Although 900 kilometers (560 miles) apart, Christmas Island is seen as an Indian Ocean neighbor of Cocos Islands, which the Australian Defense Force has said is key to its maritime surveillance operations in a region where China is increasing submarine activity. The new cables will also link to a Pacific Islands network being built by Google and jointly funded by the United States, connecting the U.S. and Australia through hubs in Fiji and French Polynesia. Vocus said in a statement the two networks will form the world's largest submarine cable system spanning 42,500 kilometers (26,408 miles) of fiber optic cable running between the U.S. and Asia via Australia.Adele has said she will miss her residency shows “terribly” but needs to “move on” after playing her 100th and final show in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The British singer-songwriter, 36, launched Weekends With Adele, located at The Colosseum theatre in Caesars Palace in November 2022. In July, she announced she would be taking a “big break” from music after her run of of sell-out shows at the venue, which seats around 4,000 people. In a social media post on Monday, she said: “Well what an adventure! Las Vegas you’ve been so good to me. “This residency went on to mirror what 30 was about, lost and broken to healed and thriving! “Seems so fitting in the end. The only thing left to do in this case is move on.” The Easy On Me star made a return to the spotlight in 2021 when she released her fourth album, 30. Adele said: “These 100 shows have been so easy to love. “They were all completely different because I got to really be with every single person in the room every night. “I’ve loved every single second of it and I am so proud of it! I will miss it terribly, and I will miss you all terribly too. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! See you next time.” Videos posted online from her concert on Saturday show the singer getting tearful as she bid farewell to Vegas. “It’s been wonderful and I will miss it terribly and I will miss you terribly,” she said. “I don’t know when I next want to perform again.” The singer, full name Adele Adkins, shared an emotional embrace with Celine Dion after she spotted the music artist in the audience during her Las Vegas show last month. In August, Adele played shows in a purpose-built outdoor arena in Munich, with capacity for 80,000 people per night, and told fans on the last night that they would not be seeing her for a “long time”.Hart senior Cameron Smith said the Hawks pride themselves on their set pieces. “We practice set pieces a lot,” Smith said. “That’s what we’re good at.” The defender was the beneficiary of a couple of those in the first half of Thursday’s Foothill League game on the road at Golden Valley, scoring twice. The first saw Smith in the right place at the right time on a corner kick. After a save from Golden Valley goalkeeper Jose Mancia, the ball bounced around before falling to an unmarked Smith right in front of the net for the first goal of the game. Smith’s second was more straightforward, but not quite so easy. Senior Bryan Barron delivered a free kick from the right side of the penalty box to the far post, where Smith was able to rise above everyone else and head the ball across goal to put the Hawks up 2-0 just before the half. The Hawks would go on to win, 3-1, avenging last year’s loss at Golden Valley. It took a few minutes for the Hawks to find their footing on a cold night at Golden Valley High, but once Smith got his first goal, Hart started to gain control of the game. “We started off a little rattled,” Smith said. “That’s our first time coming back here from our first loss (last year), but after we settled down and realized we were the better team, we executed.” Hart (2-1, 2-0) got its third goal from senior Elisha Himsl, who rifled a shot from the top of the box just a few minutes into the second half. Golden Valley (3-4, 1-1) head coach Stephen Evison said he knew how important it was to go into the break only trailing by one goal. Allowing the second goal, he said, was a big letdown for the Grizzlies after holding off the Hart attack for much of the game up to that point. “We knew that it was going to be a different level of intensity,” Evison said. “We knew that it was going to be very, very physical ... I felt like the game, if it would have been 1-0 at half, it would have been a different second half.” The Grizzlies eventually got their breakthrough with just under five minutes to play in the game through senior Cesar Renteria, but it was too little, too late. Hart’s defense was able to snuff out the Grizzlies for the majority of the game. Sophomore defender Aiden Salvador was at the heart of that for Hart, calling out the Golden Valley runners and making sure no holes were left to exploit. “Even as a freshman, he had that voice,” said Hart head coach Alex Bernal, “but I have demanded him to be a little bit more vocal, and I trust him wholeheartedly to make calls, and he’s done that and it’s crucial, on top of his ability to actually play. Another thing that makes him a great player.” Senior goalkeeper Marco Gonzalez came up big a few times for Hart. Whether it was rushing out of goal or holding it down, he rarely put a foot wrong and did his job in getting the Hawks close to a second shutout in as many league games. “One of the most knowledgeable keepers that can really demand a lot from his defense, and then he can just change the tempo like that,” Evison said in praise of the opposing keeper. “You feel like you’re on a roll, you feel like you’re on fire, and all of a sudden, he just takes all the oxygen out of the room. So yeah, hats off to the goalkeeper. I think he does a really good job. It’s gonna be sad to see him go next year, but also very happy to see him go.” The two teams are set to meet again Jan. 23 at Hart High in a game that Evison is hoping might go a different way after watching his side rattle the Hawks and control the tempo in the opening stages on Thursday. “I think it’s just gonna be looking at footage, understanding where our mistakes were, where our strengths were and just moving forward and really focusing on that game,” Evison said. The Foothill League is off on Tuesday as the William S. Hart Union High School District has its finals week. The action resumes Thursday when Hart hosts Saugus and Golden Valley travels to Canyon. Here’s what happened in the other Foothill League soccer games on Thursday: Boys’ soccer Valencia 3, Castaic 2: The Valencia Vikings picked up their first league win of the year Thursday, 3-2 at home over Castaic. Nico Hovosapian scored twice for Valencia while Cole Ross had the other goal. Alexis Silva had both goals for Castaic. Castaic has the league bye next Thursday while Valencia hosts West Ranch. West Ranch 1, Saugus 1 : No winner could be decided as West Ranch and Saugus battled to a 1-1 draw at Saugus High on Thursday. Brandon Salazar scored for West Ranch. Girls’ soccer Castaic 2, Valencia 0 : The Castaic Coyotes are flying to start off the season. Mackenzie Wiese and Grace Lundin both scored as Castaic beat Valencia at home on Thursday, 2-0, to remain perfect at 3-0 in league play and 4-0 overall. Valencia is set to travel to West Ranch when league play resumes next Thursday while Castaic has the league bye and will instead host the Cleveland Cavaliers out of Reseda. Hart 8, Golden Valley 0 : In one of the more lopsided results in the early going, Hart took down Golden Valley on Thursday, 8-0. Hart’s two UC Irvine commits, Mia Rodriguez and Gianna Costello, each recorded hat tricks in Hart’s first home league game of the year. Costello rose above her teammate, scoring five times in the rout. Hart is set to travel to Saugus next Thursday while Golden Valley has a home matchup against Canyon. Saugus 2, West Ranch 1: Three teams remain perfect in league play as Saugus held off West Ranch on the road on Thursday, 2-1. Makenna Blum and London Bane scored for Saugus, while Celeste Ramirez and Makea Leonard recorded the assists in a game that Saugus head coach Seth Groller said was difficult for the Centurions as West Ranch made it hard for the Wildcats to be broken down.

Farrakhan leads Hampton past Duquesne 64-59The Audible: Bill Belichick and the new college football landscapeFormer US president Jimmy Carter has died aged 100. (Neil Hall/PA). The King and the Prime Minister have paid tribute to Jimmy Carter following the former US president’s death on Sunday aged 100. In a message to the American people, the King expressed “great sadness” at the news of Mr Carter’s death, describing him as “a committed public servant” who “devoted his life to promoting peace and human rights”. He added: “His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. “My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter’s family and the American people at this time.” Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981 and spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Jimmy Carter made a state visit to the UK in 1977 and received a private congratulatory message from the King on his 100th birthday. (PA) Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Carter had “lived his values in the service of others to the very end” through “decades of selfless public service”. Praising a “lifelong dedication to peace” that saw him win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Sir Keir added: “Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad.” Tributes to Mr Carter followed the announcement of his death by his family on Sunday, more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love.” We need your consent to load this Social Media content.

US President Joe Biden, one of the first elected politicians to endorse Mr Carter’s bid for the presidency in 1976, said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” Other UK politicians also paid tribute to Mr Carter. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said he was “an inspiration” who “led a truly remarkable life dedicated to public service with a genuine care for people”. Scottish First Minister John Swinney described the former president as “a good, decent, honest man who strove for peace in all that he did”, while Welsh First Minister said he was “a remarkable man” and “a humanitarian and scholar”. Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair said Mr Carter’s “life was a testament to public service”. He added: “I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington DC before being buried in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. Jimmy Carter’s presidency was characterised by troubles at home and abroad, including the 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran, but was also marked by the conclusion of the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel. (AP) A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and, finally, the White House, where he took office as 39th president in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked more than four decades leading The Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center virtually eliminated Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service

CBC is restoring its live New Year’s Eve celebration. A year after the national broadcaster cancelled the 2024 countdown due to “financial pressures,” it says the special event is back on the TV schedule to mark the dawn of 2025. Festivities begin Dec. 31 with the one-hour “22 Minutes New Year’s Eve Pregame Special,” a satirical reflection on the events of 2024 with the cast of the political comedy series “This Hour Has 22 Minutes.” It will be followed by “Canada Live! Countdown 2025,” a special hosted by news anchor Adrienne Arsenault and singer Jann Arden broadcasting live from Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre, and anchor Ian Hanomansing and comedian Ali Hassan at Vancouver’s VanDusen Botanical Garden. A representative for the CBC says the coast-to-coast show will feature reporters at more than a dozen community events across the country while a countdown to the new year will take place in each of the six time zones. Throughout the seven-and-a-half-hour program, “many Canadian celebrity guests” will appear in live and pre-taped messages. “Canada Live! Countdown 2025” begins at 8 p.m. ET on CBC News Network and CBC Gem with CBC-TV and CBC Radio picking up the feed at 9 p.m. in local markets. Last year, the CBC replaced its live New Year’s Eve programming with a taped Just For Laughs special hosted by comedian Mae Martin. That left Canadians without a homegrown countdown on any of the major networks, which sparked blowback on social media from some viewers. The CBC began its annual specials in 2017 to mark Canada’s sesquicentennial year. Some of the more recent broadcasts were hosted by comedian Rick Mercer and featured fireworks and musical performances in key cities. But when CBC paused those plans last year, it said the show had become “increasingly expensive to produce.” The decision to sideline the program was made shortly after members of Parliament summoned outgoing CBC president Catherine Tait to testify about job cuts and her refusal to rule out bonuses for CBC executives.‘Oh, Canada’ review: Richard Gere shows the price of a lifetime of deception

In a post on his social media site Friday, Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office. “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote. Setting clocks forward one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall is intended to maximize daylight during summer months, but has long been subject to scrutiny. Daylight saving time was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. Lawmakers have occasionally proposed getting rid of the time change altogether. The most prominent recent attempt, a now-stalled bipartisan bill named the Sunshine Protection Act, had proposed making daylight saving time permanent. The measure was sponsored by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, whom Trump has tapped to helm the State Department. “Changing the clock twice a year is outdated and unnecessary,” Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said as the Senate voted in favor of the measure. Health experts have said that lawmakers have it backward and that standard time, which is how clocks are currently set, should be made permanent. Some health groups, including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine, have said that it’s time to do away with time switches and that sticking with standard time aligns better with the sun — and human biology. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time. For those that do, the date that clocks are changed varies, creating a complicated tapestry of changing time differences. Arizona and Hawaii don’t change their clocks at all. Story by Jill Colvin, Associated Press More articles from the BDN
