Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wore a black t-shirt and trousers to the Notre Dame Cathedral re-opening in Paris on Saturday. He met his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and US President-elect Donald Trump at the sidelines of the event, which was also attended by other world leaders including Prince William and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. Notre Dame reopened its doors for the first time since a fire in 2019 nearly destroyed Paris’ 12th-century cathedral. More than 2500 guests celebrated the restoration of the landmark.

Social media users slammed the Ukrainian president for just wearing a t-shirt. "Should “pockets open Zelenskyy” have the decency to wear a suit when he meets with the former/future President of the United States of America?" one person asked on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. "Zelensky, wear a suit. Being a country at war doesn't obligate you to a wardrobe of t-shirts for the rest of your life. Come one, man," another one tweeted. "Zelenskyy should be required to wear a suit next time he meets Trump. We have given Ukraine 200 billion dollars. Is that too much to ask?" a third person added on the Elon Musk-led site.

We know very well that he will be the centre of the negotiations, though we cannot talk about bilateral negotiations now because he cannot replace the Biden administration." Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from World and around the world.Intel Corp. INTC stock has had a rough ride in 2024 so far, falling by over 56% year-to-date. The reason? The world's leading chipmaker has fallen behind the curve, ceding ground to rivals like Advanced Micro Devices Inc. AMD , Nvidia Corp. NVDA and failing to even catch up to Qualcomm Inc. QCOM on the smartphone side of things. The world's leading chipmaker lost the plot across both establishing as well as emerging technologies – it is no longer as dominant as it was in the x86 space, and companies like Nvidia have utterly dominated the AI chips space. See Also: Nvidia’s AI Dominance Leaves Intel, AMD Scrambling For Second Place Intel's failure to innovate is reflected in its stock performance as well – at $20.92, its stock is roughly back to the same level it was at nearly 27 years ago. To make matters worse for Team Blue, that is Intel (its rival AMD is Team Red,) the company's market capitalization has shrunk enough that there are rumors doing the rounds that rivals like Qualcomm could be interested in scooping it up. Qualcomm's interest in acquiring Intel subsequently waned, reportedly due to the "complexities" involved in the transaction. See Also: Palantir Co-Founder Joe Lonsdale Cheers Trump’s New SEC Pick, Calls Out Gary Gensler For ‘Purposely’ Not Defining Crypto Rules For context, Intel's market capitalization stands at $90.22 billion, while Qualcomm's is at $177.26 billion. Intel's closest rival, AMD, is valued more than two times at $224.91 billion. Nvidia, on the other hand, has a relatively stratospheric market capitalization of $3.488 trillion – worth over 38 times Intel's market capitalization. Things have gotten so bad for Intel, that the chipmaker let go of Pat Gelsinger , an industry and Intel veteran, in a somewhat less-than-ideal fashion. Lack Of Innovation, Manufacturing Difficulties, And Increasing Competition While Intel's woes have been ongoing for several years now, issues with its latest desktop chips were likely the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. After several reports revealed issues with Intel's 13th and 14th generation chips , the company took notice but eventually gave up on fixing them with software updates. The result? Gelsinger had to leave before realizing his mission to complete the 18A fabrication process – while the company says it has been set in motion, chips made using the process have not been rolled out yet. See Also: MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor Risks Breaking Down The ‘Magic Money Creation Machine’ With His Growing Bitcoin Bet, Says Expert Gelsinger and Intel would have hoped for the success of 18A, especially to keep its struggling foundry business alive. However, with Gelsinger now out and no suitor in sight, Intel's future seems to be hanging in the balance. Price Action: Intel's stock closed at $20.92 on Friday, up 0.6% for the day. Year-to-date, it has fallen 56.2%. Data from Benzinga Pro shows that analysts have a consensus rating of "Neutral" for the Intel stock. BofA Securities , Northland Capital Markets , and Mizuho are among the three most recent analyst ratings, and their average price target stands at $24, implying a 14.7% upside. Will Intel be able to turn around its fortunes, though? Only time will tell. Check out more of Benzinga's Consumer Tech coverage by following this link .

Pro soccer player blasts media for praising Megan Rapinoe while blasting Christian Pulisic for Trump danceJimmy Carter, the earnest peanut farmer who as US president struggled with a bad economy and the Iran hostage crisis but brokered peace between Israel and Egypt has died at his home in Plains, Georgia, the Carter Centre said. He was 100. or signup to continue reading "My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love," said Chip Carter, the former president's son. "My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs". A Democrat, Carter served as president from January 1977 to January 1981 after defeating incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford in the 1976 US election. Carter was swept from office four years later in an electoral landslide as voters embraced Republican challenger Ronald Reagan, the former actor and California governor. Carter's one-term presidency was marked by the highs of the 1978 Camp David accords between Israel and Egypt, bringing some stability to the Middle East. But it was dogged by an economy in recession, persistent unpopularity and the embarrassment of the Iran hostage crisis that consumed his final 444 days in office. In recent years, Carter experienced several health issues including melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. Carter decided to receive hospice care in February 2023 instead of undergoing additional medical intervention. His wife, Rosalynn Carter, died in November, 2023, at age 96. He looked frail when he attended her memorial service and funeral in a wheelchair. Carter left office profoundly unpopular but worked energetically for decades on humanitarian causes. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 in recognition of his "untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." A Southern Baptist Sunday school teacher since his teens, Carter brought a strong sense of morality to the presidency, speaking openly about his religious faith. Despite his difficulties in office, Carter had few rivals for accomplishments as a former president. He gained global acclaim as a tireless human rights advocate, a voice for the disenfranchised and a leader in the fight against hunger and poverty, winning the respect that eluded him in the White House. Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts to promote human rights and resolve conflicts around the world, from Ethiopia and Eritrea to Bosnia and Haiti. His Carter Centre in Atlanta sent international election-monitoring delegations to polls around the world. The Middle East was the focus of Carter's foreign policy. The 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty, based on the 1978 Camp David accords, ended a state of war between the two neighbours. Carter brought Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland for talks. Later, as the accords seemed to be unravelling, Carter saved the day by flying to Cairo and Jerusalem for personal shuttle diplomacy. The treaty provided for Israeli withdrawal from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and establishment of diplomatic relations. Begin and Sadat each won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. By the 1980 election, the overriding issues were double-digit inflation, interest rates that exceeded 20 per cent and soaring gas prices, as well as the Iran hostage crisis that brought humiliation to America. These issues marred Carter's presidency and undermined his chances of winning a second term. In November 1979, revolutionaries devoted to Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini stormed the US Embassy in Tehran, seized the Americans present and demanded the return of the ousted shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was backed by the United States and was being treated in a US hospital. The American public initially rallied behind Carter. But his support faded in April 1980 when a commando raid failed to rescue the hostages, with eight US soldiers killed in an aircraft accident in the Iranian desert. Carter's final ignominy was that Iran held the 52 hostages until minutes after Reagan took his oath of office on January 20, 1981, to replace Carter, then released the planes carrying them to freedom. Not all of Carter's post-presidential work was appreciated. In 2004, Carter called the Iraq war launched in 2003 by President George W Bush one of the most "gross and damaging mistakes our nation ever made." He called the younger Bush's administration "the worst in history" and said Vice President Dick Cheney was "a disaster for our country." In 2019, Carter questioned Republican Donald Trump's legitimacy as president, saying "he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf." Trump responded by calling Carter "a terrible president." DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team. WEEKDAYS Grab a quick bite of today's latest news from around the region and the nation.
