S&P/TSX composite, U.S. markets end the trading day lower Fridayhe world faces a perfect storm of crises, many of which can seem intractable. The impacts of are becoming more obvious by the day, including injuries and deaths from storms, flooding, and wildfires. The Middle East, central Europe, and Africa, among other regions, are embroiled in deadly and destabilizing wars. We have just been through a pandemic that caused an estimated , and we remain in an era in which there will be a constant risk of more epidemics and pandemics. Yet despite these challenges, we remain profoundly optimistic when it comes to tackling disease and improving human health worldwide. We are no Pollyannas. Our optimism is based on a report recently published in the that we coauthored as members of a team of 50 health experts and economists worldwide, the , chaired by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers. Our report, called , shows that a remarkable goal is within reach: any country that chooses to do so, regardless of how wealthy it is, could halve the probability of their citizens dying before age 70 by the year 2050. We call this goal “50 by 50”—a 50% reduction in the probability of premature death by 2050, starting from a baseline year of 2019 (the year before the COVID-19 pandemic). : Although we concluded that “50 by 50” is an achievable goal for all countries, recent history suggests that some countries would require major redirections of policy. The U.S., for example, is the only country among the world’s 30 most populous countries to have experienced an actual in the probability of premature death in the decade preceding COVID-19. Achieving “50 by 50” in the U.S. would require far more dramatic improvements in policy than for recently successful populous countries like South Korea, Russia, Bangladesh, and Turkey. Why do we focus on premature death? Because dying prematurely is ruinous—not just for the individual, but for their families and communities. Premature death takes a human toll as well as an economic one on households and societies, striking down wage earners in the prime of their lives. And it can be averted. To quote the legendary British epidemiologist Richard Doll, who pioneered research showing that smoking caused lung cancer, “In old age death is inevitable, but death before old age is not.” (Doll lived to age 92.) For any country, reaching “50 by 50” would be transformative. It would mean more children surviving into adulthood, more women surviving childbirth, and fewer people dying in middle age from illnesses and injuries that are preventable and treatable. Our optimism that “50 by 50” can be achieved is based both on looking back to historical experience of mortality decline and on looking forward to the new scientific innovations coming out of the research and development pipeline. Historical experience shows that our goal is challenging but feasible. Since 1970, 37 countries have halved the probability of their citizens dying before age 70 in 31 years or less, including seven of the world’s most populous countries. This group of seven countries— Bangladesh, China, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam—is remarkably diverse in terms of geography, politics, income level, and their “starting point” (their country’s probability of premature death in the year that the 50% reduction began). If such different nations from such varying starting points could achieve this goal, it’s a feasible one. : Looking forward, based on the rich pipeline of candidates being developed today, suggests that about 450 new medicines, vaccines, and diagnostics for preventing and treating infectious diseases and maternal-health conditions will be launched before 2050. When countries adopt and widely disseminate such new health technologies, the decline in premature death . To give just one example: tuberculosis (TB) is the No. 1 infectious cause of premature death worldwide, but the vaccine we have against it is not widely used because it’s not very effective. However, there are three promising vaccine candidates that are now in late-stage clinical trials, and it seems likely that at least one will be approved. Having a highly effective TB vaccine would be a true game changer. So, if “50 by 50” is feasible and would be transformative, what do countries need to do to reach it? The path to halving premature death requires governments to take four critical steps. The first step is to focus on the biggest killers. Out of the many thousands of health conditions listed in the latest version of the —the “Bible” of health conditions—just 15 of these explain most of the difference in life expectancy between the regions where people live longest and those where they live the shortest lives. Eight are maternal conditions and infectious diseases, such as diarrhea, pneumonia, and TB. Seven are non-communicable diseases and injuries, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, road injuries, and suicide. The path to “50 by 50” runs through tackling these 15 priority conditions. The second step is for governments to finance the delivery of highly effective, high value-for-money prevention and treatment services that can reduce illness and death from these 15 conditions. Examples include expanding childhood immunizations and low-cost prevention and treatments for cardiovascular disease. Global immunization coverage last year, and low measles vaccine coverage in some parts of the world has led to measles outbreaks, and so action will be needed to close these immunization gaps. There is no “one size fits all” prescription for each country: the specific interventions that are required will have to be locally contextualized to each country’s health needs and situation. Scaling up delivery of prevention and treatment services will require substantial financial investments, which may be challenging for resource-constrained nations. Governments will need to prioritize health spending amidst competing demands and explore ways to raise revenue, such as improving their tax systems. : The third step is to make medicines more accessible and affordable to everyone. In many parts of the world, paying out-of-pocket costs for commonly prescribed medicines, such as for high blood pressure or diabetes, places a on individuals and households, and can even push people into poverty. The government should subsidize these costs. It should buy large volumes of critical medicines for the 15 priority conditions to ensure wide availability. The fourth step is for governments to increase taxation on tobacco products and unhealthy foods and drinks, while reducing the typically very large subsidies on fossil fuels. These policies would not only reduce illness and death attributable to those products but would also raise needed revenue for cash-strapped governments. While all these fiscal policies are win-win, by far the biggest priority is high taxes on tobacco. Smoking is one of the biggest causes of preventable mortality in many parts of the world, and can do more to reduce premature mortality than any other single policy outside of the health system. While the steps we outlined above are aimed mostly at national governments, there is also an important role for international health organizations and foreign aid donors in supporting countries in reaching “50 by 50.” Aid should be directed towards countries with the fewest resources to help strengthen their health systems to better control the 15 high priority conditions. And the international community should step up its investments in tackling the shared threats that cross national boundaries, like reducing the development and spread of , preparing for and responding to pandemics, and developing and disseminating new health technologies. Regional economic, political, and strategic disputes could limit much needed support and collaboration for achieving “50 by 50,” so continued advocacy and diplomacy will be required to maintain global momentum. It is easy to get despondent about the state of the world. But at least in one domain, there is good reason to double down on past success: “50 by 50” is a prize within reach. As we conclude in our report, “by focusing resources on a narrow set of conditions and scaling up financing to develop new health technologies, we believe that the global health landscape can be utterly transformed within our lifetimes.”

Analysis: After Juan Soto's megadeal, could MLB see a $1 billion contract? Probably not soon

Kodiak gas services executive sells $121,340 in stockFOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — As spontaneous celebrations rippled throughout the Los Angeles Chargers' locker room after their resounding 40-7 win over the New England Patriots, coach Jim Harbaugh grabbed general manager Joe Hortiz and wrapped him up in a bear hug. “Love you!” Harbaugh said. “Love you!” Hortiz responded. “Great job! Let's keep it going,” Harbaugh replied, finally loosening his grasp. The Chargers (10-6) are back in the playoffs. But the message is clear: They have their eyes on achieving much more. Justin Herbert threw three touchdown passes and Los Angeles locked up its second playoff appearance in three seasons with Saturday's victory. “We had a good opportunity tonight and we went out and took it," Herbert said. “We had a good plan. All week we knew how big of a game this was for us. Guys were dialed in, focused and we executed today.” It also secured the fourth postseason appearance in Harbaugh’s five seasons as an NFL coach, adding to the three he made during his stint with the San Francisco 49ers. “You talk to them and there's more to do,” Harbaugh said. “There's no coach who could have it better than to be coaching these players. Nobody. Maybe the only person would be future us, could have it better than us.” Herbert finished 26 of 38 for 281 yards to become the third player in NFL history with at least 3,000 passing yards and 20 touchdown passes in each of his first five seasons. He joins Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson. Ladd McConkey had eight catches for 94 yards and pulled in TD throws of 6 and 40 yards. With a 10-yard reception in the second quarter, he passed 1,000 yards receiving for the season, making him the third Chargers rookie receiver to reach that milestone. JK Dobbins rushed 19 times for 76 yards and a TD. The Patriots (3-13) have lost six straight games, their second such losing streak of the season. They are now 2-14 the last two seasons at home. “We just didn’t play well enough in any phase of the game,” coach Jerod Mayo said. “No complementary football, and that’s what you get.” Asked if he thinks he is coaching for his job, Mayo said it comes with the territory. “I’m always under pressure and it’s been that way for a very long time, not just when I became the head coach of the Patriots," he said. New England quarterback Drake Maye finished 12 of 22 for 117 yards and a touchdown. He became the first rookie quarterback in franchise history with a TD pass in eight straight games. But he was sacked four times, and a second-quarter fumble marked his eighth straight game with at least one turnover. Los Angeles outgained New England 428-181 for the game. Maye briefly left the game to be evaluated for a head injury following a blow to his helmet in the first quarter. He was scrambling near the sideline on third down of the Patriots’ first possession when he was hit by Chargers cornerback Cam Hart, jarring the ball loose as Maye spun out of bounds. No flag was thrown on the play and Maye stayed down on the turf for several seconds before eventually getting up and jogging off the field. He initially sat on the bench before going to the medical tent for evaluation. He was replaced by backup Jacoby Brissett in the next series, which ended in a punt. But after further evaluation in the locker room and a Cameron Dicker 27-yard field goal put the Chargers in front 10-0, Maye returned to the game for the Patriots’ third series, at the 10:15 mark of the second quarter. Maye scrambled for 9 yards on his first play back, ending with him being hit by linebacker Junior Colson as he slid to the ground. Colson was flagged for unnecessary roughness. Five plays later, Maye mistimed a toss to Demario Douglas, causing a fumble that was recovered by Derwin James. The Chargers took over on the New England 24 and nine plays later, Herbert connected with McConkey for a 6-yard touchdown pass to put Los Angeles in front 17-0. Chargers: WR Joshua Palmer left the game in the third quarter with a heel injury. DB Elijah Molden limped off the field after a collision in the third quarter. He returned but was later driven off the field on a golf cart because of a shin injury. Patriots: In addition to Maye, CB Christian Gonzalez left the game in the second quarter to be evaluated for a head injury and was later ruled out with a concussion. McConkey, a second-round draft selection, also set a Chargers rookie record for catches, surpassing Keenan Allen, who had 71 in 2013. Chargers: Visit Las Vegas in their regular-season finale. Patriots: Host Buffalo next Sunday in their season finale. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflNone

China Imposes Sanctions On 7 US Defense Companies Over Taiwan Military Aid

Apple’s UK engineering teams have ‘doubled in size in five years’Most Americans think that health insurance profits and claim denials played a role in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to a new survey by NORC at the University of Chicago. Since his killing on December 4, social media users have repeatedly expressed their anger with the health insurance industry and thirsted over the person charged with the crime, Luigi Mangione . Evidence suggests that the killer’s motive was related to the health insurance industry. According to law enforcement, the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were written on ammunition from the crime scene. These words appear to be a reference to the health insurance industry’s playbook to avoid paying for health care — “delay, deny, defend.” UnitedHealthcare, the nation’s largest health insurer, made $16 billion in profit last year. As Rolling Stone recently noted , the company helps explains why America’s health care system is unusually expensive and produces poor outcomes . Corporate parent UnitedHealth Group is the fourth-largest company in America by revenue. UnitedHealth is an insurer, a major health care provider, and a middleman between patients and pharmacies. It also offers its allegedly very faulty AI claims-handling software to other insurers. The NORC poll finds a staggering percentage of Americans attributed Thompson’s death, at least in part, to the health insurance industry’s business practices. Sixty-nine percent said that denials for health care coverage by health insurance companies bear a “great deal” or a “moderate amount” of responsibility for Thompson’s killing. Sixty-seven percent said profits made by health insurance companies played a great or a moderate role in his killing. More broadly, about half of Americans said that wealth inequality played a great or moderate role in his killing. (Thompson made $10.2 million annually.) Younger Americans, according to the Associated Press, were more likely to believe that multiple factors contributed to his killing. Editor’s picks The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time Somehow, the poll found a significant number of Americans think the killer played no role at all in Thompson’s murder: 11 percent said that the individual who committed the killing played no role at all in the murder, while 9 percent said “a little.” However, 78 percent said that the shooter played a great deal or a moderate amount in the killing. Some respondents reported having negative experiences with health insurance themselves. Fifteen percent of Americans said they had had a claim denied by an insurance company in the past year. Sixteen percent said they had a problem finding a suitable provider within the insurance company’s network. Respondents reported similar numbers for friends and family. Among those who reported having issues with their health insurance, 43 percent said they had to pay for some or all of the related health care costs, 28 percent said they were unable to receive recommended care, and 39 percent said the issue had not yet been resolved. Seven percent had no health insurance at all, which makes it even more difficult for people to receive necessary medical care. The poll, conducted between December 12-16, was based on interviews with 1,001 adults across the country from a variety of economic backgrounds. In the weeks since Thompson’s killing, the conversation around health care reform has been reinvigorated. Patients, as well as their friends and families, have voiced their frustration about the costs of health care, their claims being denied, and having difficulty finding a provider within their insurance networks.

DAN JAMES MARKED his 100th Leeds appearance with a crucial goal as his side beat Middlesbrough 3-1 at Elland Road to regain top spot in the English Championship. James fired home in the second half after Max Wober’s own goal had cancelled out Willy Gnonto’s opener. Brenden Aaronson added Leeds’ third in stoppage time. Daniel Farke’s side, who who made it eight straight home wins, sit two points clear of Sheffield United who play their game in hand at Millwall on Wednesday. Boro’s own promotion hopes were dealt a blow as they slipped to a seventh league defeat of the season and are eight points adrift of the top two. Elsewhere in the Championship, Patrick Roberts scored a stoppage-time equaliser as Sunderland salvaged a point to record a 1-1 draw with Bristol City. Meath native Luke McNally fired Bristol ahead in the 63rd minute after Sunderland were unable to clear the ball. However, Roberts struck in the third minute of second-half stoppage-time to snatch a point for the Black Cats and maintain their unbeaten run at the Stadium of Light this season. Ireland striker Tom Cannon scored for Stoke City but there was late heartbreak as Elijah Adebayo’s 90th-minute winner helped Luton Town return to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Kenilworth Road. Cannon’s early strike mounted more pressure on underfire Hatters boss Rob Edwards, whose side ended a three-game winless streak thanks to goals from Carlton Morris and Adebayo. Luton now sit on 22 points, five above the relegation zone, with Stoke in 16th. Things are worse for Wayne Rooney after Swansea City ended Plymouth’s six-match unbeaten home run with a 2-1 win. Rooney’s side slipped to 23rd in the table. Swansea took a 44th-minute lead through Jay Fulton following Josh Tymon’s cross from the left, with Liam Cullen doubling their lead on the hour. Mustapha Bundu pulled one back but Argyle were left looking up at all bar Hull in the table. Makhtar Gueye stepped off the bench to fire Blackburn to a fifth straight victory with a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Meanwhile, Burnley were frustrated by a rejected first-half penalty appeal as they were held to a goalless draw by a stubborn Derby County side at Turf Moor.From wealth and success to murder suspect, the life of Luigi Mangione took a hard turn

NEW YORK (AP) — Greg Gumbel, a longtime CBS sportscaster, has died from cancer, according to a statement from family released by CBS on Friday. He was 78. “He leaves behind a legacy of love, inspiration and dedication to over 50 extraordinary years in the sports broadcast industry; and his iconic voice will never be forgotten,” his wife Marcy Gumbel and daughter Michelle Gumbel said in a statement. In March, Gumbel missed his first NCAA Tournament since 1997 due to what he said at the time were family health issues. Gumbel was the studio host for CBS since returning to the network from NBC in 1998. Gumbel signed an extension with CBS last year that allowed him to continue hosting college basketball while stepping back from NFL announcing duties. In 2001, he announced Super Bowl XXXV for CBS, becoming the first Black announcer in the U.S. to call play-by-play of a major sports championship. David Berson, president and CEO of CBS Sports, described Greg Gumbel as breaking barriers and setting standards for others during his years as a voice for fans in sports, including in the NFL and March Madness. “A tremendous broadcaster and gifted storyteller, Greg led one of the most remarkable and groundbreaking sports broadcasting careers of all time,” said Berson. Gumbel had two stints at CBS, leaving the network for NBC when it lost football in 1994 and returning when it regained the contract in 1998. He hosted CBS’ coverage of the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics and called Major League Baseball games during its four-year run broadcasting the national pastime. But it was football and basketball where he was best known and made his biggest impact. Gumbel hosted CBS’ NFL studio show, “The NFL Today” from 1990 to 1993 and again in 2004. He also called NFL games as the network’s lead play-by-play announcer from 1998 to 2003, including Super Bowl XXXV and XXXVIII. He returned to the NFL booth in 2005, leaving that role after the 2022 season.Nigeria locked horns with Ghana in the final round of qualification fixtures for the 2025 African Nations Championship tournament The Super Eagles B secured an emphatic 3-1 victory against the Black Galaxies in the encounter The crucial win confirms the Nigerian team’s participation in the 2025 edition of the CHAN tournament CHECK OUT: Education is Your Right!
