MADRID (AP) — Atletico Madrid conceded three goals in a Spanish league game for the first time this season but still managed to beat Sevilla 4-3 on Sunday with Antoine Griezmann's double helping to make it nine wins in a row for Diego Simeone’s in-form side. Third-place Madrid restored its three-point lead over fourth-place Athletic Bilbao, which beat Villarreal earlier Sunday. Rodrigo De Paul gave Atletico the perfect start when he lashed home a stunning opener in the 10th minute. However, goals from Dodi Lukébakio, Isaac Romero and Juanlu Sanchez put Sevilla 3-1 up early in the second half and Atletico, without the vocal support of some home fans in a dispute over tickets, seemed lost in an unusually quiet at Metropolitano Stadium. Simeone’s side, though, is known for its resilience and it was not long before the fightback began. Griezmann reduced the deficit in the 62nd minute and 17 minutes later, after Simeone made five substitutions in a quarter of an hour, Samuel Lino got the equalizer with a low shot from 30 yards. Griezmann himself got the winner in stoppage time to consolidate Atletico’s third place. The Madrid club now has 35 points, one behind city rival Real and three behind league leader Barcelona. “We struggled to get into the game,” Griezmann said. “We missed the support of the fans behind the goal. But in the end we managed to come back.” Athletic Bilbao consolidated fourth place with a comfortable 2-0 win over Villarreal, the team immediately below it in the table and one of its closest rivals for a Champions League spot. Aitor Paredes put Athletic ahead when he glanced home a corner kick in 14 minutes and Iñaki Williams made it 2-0 midway through the second half. It was the fourth consecutive league win for Athletic but the victory was marred by a silent protest from an organized fan group. The group refused to sing or chant in response to a rift between it and the club president, who reported threats to police earlier in the week. Several Athletic players expressed solidarity with the president and the team did not salute the fans behind the goal after the match. “It’s a very sad win and a time for everyone to pull together,” club captain Óscar De Marcos said in comments reported by newspaper Marca. “The silence was notable during the game but we need to keep doing our job.” Earlier Sunday, Real Sociedad won for the fourth time in a row, beating Leganes 3-0 at the Butarque stadium near Madrid. Three days after his extra-time goal gave Sociedad a 1-0 win at fourth-tier Conquense in the Copa del Rey, Brais Méndez scored again to give the visitors an early lead. Substitute Ander Barrenetxea’s first goal of the league season doubled its lead 10 minutes from time and then Mikel Oyarzabal added a third in stoppage time. It was only the fourth time in 16 matches that Sociedad has scored twice in a league game and the win lifted it into sixth, above Osasuna, which drew 2-2 with Alaves. Alaves took only 37 seconds for Kike Garcia to put the team ahead with a diving header. However, Ante Budimir and Rubén García scored early in the second half to put Osasuna in front before Kike Garcia got his second of the game to tie the scores at 2-2. The point was the first for new Alaves coach Eduardo Coudet but still leaves it in 15th place without a win in five games. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

US President Joe Biden on Sunday said deposed Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad should be "held accountable" but called the nation's political upheaval a "historic opportunity" for Syrians to rebuild their country. In the first full US reaction to Assad's overthrow by an Islamist-led coalition of rebel factions, Biden also warned that Washington will "remain vigilant" against the emergence of terrorist groups, announcing that US forces had just conducted fresh strikes against militants from the Islamic State organization.

The Daily Mail reports that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is on a mission to turn the site of his rocket company’s Texas headquarters into its own city. In a letter submitted to Cameron County officials on Thursday, SpaceX requested that the county call an election to enable the incorporation of the Starbase facility as the newest city in the Rio Grande Valley area, appropriately named Starbase, Texas. Located near Boca Chica Beach on the southern tip of Texas near the Mexican border, Starbase is currently an unincorporated town that serves as the main development and launch site for SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket. Over 3,400 SpaceX employees and contractors currently work at the rapidly expanding site. Earlier this year, the 53-year-old Musk announced plans to move SpaceX’s corporate headquarters from California to the Starbase facility, citing the Golden State’s new gender identity laws as a reason for the relocation. Musk personally moved from California to Texas in 2020. “To continue growing the workforce necessary to rapidly develop and manufacture Starship, we need the ability to grow Starbase as a community,” SpaceX’s letter to county officials stated. “That is why we are requesting that Cameron County call an election to enable the incorporation of Starbase as the newest city in the Rio Grande Valley.” Musk expressed his enthusiasm for the move on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. “SpaceX HQ will now officially be in the city of Starbase, Texas!” the tech billionaire wrote in a post. While Musk first publicly floated the idea of creating a city called Starbase back in 2021, this marks the first time an official petition has been filed to start the incorporation process. Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr., the area’s top elected official, said the county’s legal and elections teams will review the petition to determine if it meets all statutory requirements before proceeding. However, SpaceX’s rapid development in the region hasn’t been without controversy. Some local residents have pushed back against the expansion, and an environmental group called Save RGV filed a lawsuit against the company in July alleging pollution violations. SpaceX countered that a state review found no environmental risks and called the suit “frivolous.” Musk’s high-profile visit to Starbase with President-elect Donald Trump before a recent rocket launch has further thrust the facility into the national spotlight. If the incorporation effort is successful, it would give Musk broad power to shape the future growth and municipal governance of the Starbase area. Read more at the Daily Mail here.

Nasir Mansoor Qureshi, President of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) on Friday called for the national dialogue to address the economic challenges ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Nov, 2024) Mansoor Qureshi, President of the of and (ICCI) on Friday called for the national dialogue to address the economic challenges. He emphasized that political stability was the cornerstone of economic and national prosperity. He urged parties to set aside their differences and engage in a constructive national dialogue to formulate comprehensive, long-term economic policies that serve the nation’s interests and uplift its people, said a press release issued here Friday. Highlighting the critical link between political harmony and economic recovery, Qureshi asserted that ’s mounting financial challenges, including industrial closures, soaring power tariffs, excessive taxation, and escalating unemployment, can only be addressed through a stable and collaborative political framework. He stressed that the worsening political polarization aggravates these issues, deterring entrepreneurial activity, and stifling economic growth. Qureshi painted a stark picture of the current crisis, citing deteriorating , pervasive , nepotism and a volatile political climate as key barriers to attracting foreign direct investment. These factors, he noted, have severely undermined ’s economic potential, leaving industries and businesses on the brink of collapse. For to emerge this dilemma, Qureshi underscored the need for robust governance, institutional integrity, and unwavering commitment to policy continuity. He called upon political leaders to prioritize the nation’s economic stability over partisan interests, emphasizing that good governance and cohesive policymaking are imperative for fostering sustainable development, reducing poverty, and improving the livelihoods of citizens. “The time for divisive is over,” Qureshi declared. “The nation demands leadership that transcends political rivalries, prioritizes the public good, and sets a foundation for enduring economic resilience and growth.” This call for comes at a pivotal moment. grapples with unprecedented challenges that require a unified vision and decisive action political factions to secure the nation’s future.Technology can sometimes feel like magic—especially for those who aren’t neck-deep in gizmos and gadgets. Yet, whether we realise it or not, huge changes are brewing in India’s tech space. They promise to touch everyday life in ways as simple as paying for groceries and as complex as running entire factories. A key insight comes from a recent conversation with D Shiva Kumar, operating partner at Advent International, and Ramesh Srinivasan of McKinsey. “Employees today are using AI on themselves before they use AI at work. That’s a very good thing because they have firsthand knowledge. With no other technology has this happened. We didn’t learn Excel on our own before we went to a company Excel sheet. For the first time, we are learning about AI on our data sets and then moving to a company data set,” said D Shiva Kumar. This observation highlights a new trend: people are experimenting with AI in personal ways—such as checking how AI might draft an email—before ever deploying it in corporate environments. It’s a fundamental shift that sets the tone for how technology adoption might unfold in the coming years. That said, here are the big things to expect next year. 1. FinTech and Health care In 2018, who would have guessed that crisp currency notes might soon feel like relics of a bygone era? Yet that’s exactly what India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has achieved—making money transfers so effortless, even across borders, that it’s as ordinary as sending a text. Suddenly, everyone seems to carry a universal digital wallet, no matter where they go. What’s next? The same core team, led by Nandan Nilekani, that brought the idea of digital payments to life is now hard at work on a “Health Stack.” This digital layer aims to make healthcare services as accessible to every Indian as digital payments have become. Aadhaar, the identity layer that paved the way for UPI and the “Finance Stack,” set the precedent by democratising finance. Now, there’s talk of using a similar playbook for healthcare, tying it all together with financial tools. A glimpse of how this might look emerged during the pandemic: real-time updates via smartphone, seamless vaccination appointments, and digital proof of immunization. The efficiency of that system is already well documented. For now, specifics on the Health Stack remain sparse, with members of the founding team simply saying it’s “chugging along well.” Some early hiccups are to be expected, but 2025 is shaping up to be the moment when this visionary project could finally step into the spotlight. 1. 5G’s Big Leap (and Early Steps Toward 6G) New networks are rolling out promised faster internet—think smooth video calls without buffering or devices that can communicate with each other instantly. Meanwhile, India is already eyeing the next horizon: 6G. But ambition meets reality when it comes to funding. A recent article in the Economic Times highlights the hurdles. The government has allocated just 0.03% of the GDP ( ₹ 1,100 crore) of the FY2025 budget for telecom related research. But the actual will be just ₹ 400 crore. So, to imagine India will hold 10% of 6G patents is absurd. To place that in perspective, China has set aside $1.55 trillion. The US too isn’t lagging. Finger’s crossed, India will play catch up. 3. The Cloud and the Edge In the past, software and data were mainly stored on bulky servers sitting in corporate offices. Today, “cloud computing” hosts most data online, making it accessible anywhere—from laptops, phones, and tablets. However, some tasks need instant, local processing; that’s where “edge computing” comes in. Think of a small data centre placed close to a farm or a factory. By processing data on the spot, it reduces internet bottlenecks and speeds up decision-making. And all these take us back to where we started from: The biggest surprise is that many people in India are trying AI tools at home before using them at work. That’s a twist on how things used to be, when employees would first learn new software—like Microsoft Excel—through office training sessions. But now, like D Shiva Kumar said, people are tinkering with AI on their own. It means they already know the ropes, which could change how future technology gets introduced in corporate environments. It’s helpful then to remember the spirit behind Shiva Kumar’s words: the more people experiment with AI and other new gadgets in their personal lives, the more informed and confident they become in using them at work. That kind of grassroots expertise could be a game-changer for the digital future.
