World reaches $300 bn climate finance deal at COP29ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggled with deputies and shouted while being led into court Tuesday as new details emerged about his possible motivation behind the ambush. In his first public words since a five-day search ended with his arrest at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, Luigi Nicholas Mangione emerged from a patrol car shouting about an “insult to the intelligence of the American people” while deputies pushed him inside a courthouse. The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family is fighting attempts to extradite him to New York so that he can face a murder charge in the Manhattan killing of Brian Thompson , who led the United States’ largest medical insurance company. A law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said that at the time of his arrest, Mangione was carrying a handwritten document expressing anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed and power. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin. In social media posts, Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski — who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology — a “political revolutionary,” according to the police bulletin. Mangione remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Manhattan prosecutors were beginning to take steps to bring Mangione to New York, but at a brief hearing Tuesday, defense lawyer Thomas Dickey said his client will not waive extradition and instead wants a hearing on the issue. Mangione was denied bail after prosecutors said he was too dangerous to be released. He mostly stared straight ahead at the hearing, occasionally looking at papers, rocking in his chair or looking back at the gallery. At one point, he began to speak to respond to the court discussion but was quieted by his lawyer. “You can’t rush to judgment in this case or any case,” Dickey said afterward. “He’s presumed innocent. Let’s not forget that.” Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 230 miles (about 370 kilometers) west of New York City, after a McDonald’s customer recognized him and notified an employee, authorities said. Images of Mangione released Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police showed him pulling down his mask in the corner of the McDonald's while holding what appeared to be hash browns and wearing a winter jacket and beanie. In another photo from a holding cell, he stood unsmiling with rumpled hair. New York police officials have said Mangione was carrying a gun like the one used to kill Thompson and the same fake ID the shooter had used to check into a New York hostel, along with a passport and other fraudulent IDs. A law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity said a three-page, handwritten document found with Mangione included a line in which he claimed to have acted alone. “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to the official. It also said, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.” Thompson, 50, was killed last Wednesday as he walked alone to a Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. From surveillance video, New York investigators determined the shooter quickly fled the city, likely by bus. Mangione was born into a life of country clubs and privilege. His grandfather was a self-made real estate developer and philanthropist. Valedictorian at his elite Baltimore prep school, he went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesperson said. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media late Monday by his cousin, Maryland Del. Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” From January to June 2022, Luigi Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. "There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, from surfing to romance, Ryan said. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. ___ Scolforo reported from Altoona and Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.

(AP Photo/Jack Dempsey) DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos signed left tackle Garett Bolles to a four-year extension on Thursday, locking up a big piece to protect rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Bolles has spent his entire career with the organization after being drafted out of Utah with the 20th overall pick in 2017. He has a chance this season to help the Broncos into the postseason for the first time since they won Super Bowl 50 after the 2015 season. The Broncos (8-5) are currently in the seventh and final playoff spot in the AFC. They can put some distance between them and Indianapolis on Sunday (6-7) with a win over the Colts. After an up-and-down start in Denver, Bolles has developed into a dependable pass protector. He's allowed one sack and 24 quarterback pressures over 13 starts this season. What's more, his 4.9 percent quarterback pressure rate is the second-lowest mark among tackles with at least 200 pass blocking snaps this season, according to NextGen Stats. With time to scan the field, Nix leads all rookies in completions (277), yards passing (2,842), offensive touchdowns (22) and passing touchdowns (17). Bolles earned second-team Associated Press All-Pro honors after the 2020 season. On social media , Bolles posted: “Broncos Country, It’s been a great 8 years! Thanks for everything! And ... I’m not leaving. The show goes on!” Since 2017, Bolles has allowed the sixth-fewest sacks (36) among tackles with at least 3,100 snaps. The extension of Bolles means the Broncos have all five starting offensive linemen on board through next season. Guard Quinn Meinerz agreed to four-year contract extension in July. The Broncos also signed cornerback Patrick Surtain II to a four-year contract extension in September worth $96 million, including $77.5 million in guarantees. Linebacker Jonathon Cooper agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension in November. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl The Associated Press See a typo/mistake? Have a story/tip?

A look ahead to the biggest planning applications coming in 2025The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition has achieved a historic victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, securing or leading in over 230 of the 288 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alone has won or is leading in 132 seats, while the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has taken the lead in 57 seats, and the NCP helmed by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar is set to capture 41 seats. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has extended his congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this significant triumph. He stated, "The public has placed their trust in the leadership of PM Modi." Sharma also expressed gratitude to Rajasthan voters for supporting the BJP in recent by-elections, emphasizing the party's commitment to Rajasthan's development and welfare. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari echoed this sentiment, highlighting the confidence within Mahayuti regarding their majority but acknowledging the unprecedented nature of the victory. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini praised PM Modi's vision and policies, attributing their success to the Maharashtra people's appetite for development under Modi's leadership. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), in stark contrast, have managed only 48 leads. (With inputs from agencies.)

Meeting his second grandchild in the fall of 2018 made Bill James-Abra want to take action. As he gazed at the infant while an older grandchild stood on his knee, he began wondering about the world they would grow up in. “I found myself thinking, ‘what kind of world are these kids going to inherit, and what do I want to do about that?’ And that led to me then thinking that there was a gap in Stratford to start an environmental group,” James-Abra said. A few months later, he connected with former Stratford resident Anne Carbert to form Climate Momentum, a local volunteer group that advocates for climate action. With an unavoidable slowdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, this month marks the third anniversary of what James-Abra calls Climate Momentum’s second birthday. Although the group started off small – self-described as the “two people and a website” era – Climate Momentum quickly grew from a few networking social events, or “Climate Mixers,”to hosting its first major event, the Fridays for Future march and rally, on Sept. 20, 2019. That march saw the fledgling group partner with the Stratford District secondary school eco-club for a protest that saw 250 people hike from the school to Market Square in solidarity with Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. Carbert joined the group because she realized that not much was happening to address climate change, despite government agreements like the Kyoto Protocol, and the problem was just getting worse. “My concern was that we were kind of letting a problem of global proportions continue unchecked, and that this was going to affect ecosystems and people everywhere. We were becoming more aware of what the kind of crisis situations might be, in terms of extreme weather and displacement of communities and loss of forest and animal life and that kind of thing,” Carbert said. Canada officially withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol in December 2012 and, despite signing the 2016 Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 C above preindustrial levels, national carbon emissions have only dropped slightly, excluding the impacts of the pandemic shutdowns, from 731 megatonnes that year to 702 megatonnes in 2023. Because she did not see the federal or provincial governments taking nearly enough action, Carbert said she saw the opportunity to focus her efforts on the community level. “We wanted people to see local solutions and local actions that were happening and kind of feel that momentum and build on it,” she said. Beyond that 2019 march, the group enjoyed a lot of other successes in that first year, including a letter-writing campaign leading up to Stratford city council’s declaration of a climate emergency in February 2020. Although the group went virtual during the COVID-10 pandemic, its members still managed to find a way to fight for the environment, including holding a Fridays for Future shoe strike that September. With the COVID-related gathering restrictions still in place, When it was again able, Climate Momentum met together in December 2021 at the home of one its members for a “rebirth,” James-Abra said. Since then, the grassroots group has seen a rapid upward resurgence, moving meetings to downtown’s revel coffeehouse and, once it outgrew that space, to Avondale United Church. It now boasts 15 to 18 regular members, sends out a newsletter twice a month, and its follower count is nearly 600 on Instagram and just more than 500 on Facebook. The group has also recently launched its monthly Climate Conversation, which take a deep dive into different issues related to climate change each month. Climate Momentum, James-Abra said, has four main areas of focus: the urban canopy and tree cover, building codes, power generation and public transit. However, James-Abra would still like to see more involvement from the community. “As the guy who’s trying to organize it, I’d always like to see things move faster and see more engagement . . . . And the focus on these projects will, I hope, give more opportunity for people in the community to see where they can plug in and join and be part of the action,” he said. Although Climate Momentum is not a youth-led organization, concerned students have been involved almost from the beginning. This includes Sammie Orr, who helped organize the 2019 Fridays for Future marches, as well as the shoe strike, as well as Rachael Stephan and Emily Adam, who presented to council on the night it declared a climate emergency. Everything that happened at that first march were things the then-youth organizers had called for, Carbert said. “Those who were eager to take a leadership role did so since there’s so much at stake for them. We were learning from each other, working together and planning things and learning about the issues,” she added. The current youth involved in Climate Momentum include Stratford District graduate Ava Cappie, who has become the group’s social media manager, and current student Ewan Mann, the group’s youth representative. They each spend about one to two hours a week in their work with the group. Mann explained he is pretty much a normal member of Climate Momentum, except he’s “40 years younger than everyone else.” Despite still being young, Mann got involved with the group because he wants others to have an opportunity to be young. “If nothing happens now, nothing’s going to happen later and then nothing will happen ever,” he said. Mann’s work with Climate Momentum and the school’s eco-club have helped him decide on a career in environmental engineering. While Stratford may not yet be greatly impacted by climate change, we can still see the effects close to home, Cappie said. She noted the torrential rainstorm that drenched Toronto this past summer, when roughly 100 millimetres of rain over the span of about 3.5 hours caused more than an estimated $1 billion in damage. “Even though we’re not seeing it directly in Stratford every single day, it’s still happening. And if you compare 10 years ago to now kind-of weather trends, we’re having more intense swings,” she said. Cappie added she does not want to leave climate action solely up to climate scientists since it’s an issue that has a profound impact on everyone. “They’re experts, and they know what they’re doing, but we also need to acknowledge that, if things are going the way that they’re going right now, the future is not very bright,” she said. Perhaps the biggest moment for the climate change conversation in Stratford came when the city adopted its Climate Action Plan in August this year. That plan followed previous commitments from the city to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 30 per cent from 2017 levels by 2030 and achieve net–zero emissions by 2050. While James-Abra said he was encouraged by the plan shortly after it was endorsed, he acknowledged he “has a general impatience with the situation we find ourselves in” when it comes to climate change and that “we will have our hands full hitting that 30 per cent mark.” While Mann also liked the plan, the results still seems very far away. He said he thinks those targets should have been set sooner so that was quicker action. “If I’m given a school project and it’s due at the end of the semester, I’m going to do it five weeks before the end of the semester, so I feel like it might be procrastinated a bit,” he said. Cappie agreed, but said the plan still represented a great first step for the city. “I think setting up structures for these changes is great, and it’s a step in the right direction, but it’s nice to kind of have some, like, little things currently happening,” she said. In the coming weeks and years for the advocacy group, James-Abra said he would like to see Climate Momentum focus on two or three projects that work in parallel with the city’s climate action plan. “It gives us the opportunity to just be talking about climate change and practical solutions with more and more people in the community. It’s a question of always trying to gather in more people for meaningful work on goals that are realizable here in the community,” he said.
