B.C. premier says feds and premiers have right-left strategy to tackle Trump tariffs

The United Nations is calling for an urgent revival of Iran nuclear deal talks, emphasizing the deal's significance for global peace. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, from which the U.S. withdrew in 2018, remains a focal point for international diplomacy. In legal news, Luigi Mangione has been indicted for the murder of UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson. Prosecutors describe Mangione's act as a calculated attempt to 'sow terror,' with potential life imprisonment looming if found guilty. Meanwhile, Canada has committed to enhanced border security, engaging in discussions with the U.S. about surveillance and technology strategies. This initiative aims to bolster bilateral relations as the countries navigate changing political climates. (With inputs from agencies.)

This is according to the Financial Sector Skills Survey released by the Kigali International Finance Centre (KIFC), aimed at taking stock of the existing financial talent pool in Rwanda's financial sector and determining the gap in terms of capabilities and skills. Rwanda Finance Limited, the agency tasked with promoting KIFC, targets to attract $600 million in assets into the centre by 2025. However, according to the report, gaps in the availability of skilled and experienced professionals and the current fragmented training system, pose a significant challenge to the growth of the financial centre. According to Anita Mutesi, Senior Capacity Building Program Manager at the Rwanda Finance Limited, the financial sector lacks certified specialised professionals. Only 2 per cent of the approximately 37,000 professionals employed in Rwanda's financial sector, are certified, she said, adding that these professionals are not sufficient to serve the investors coming in through the KIFC. ALSO READ:FEATURED: KIFC, a beacon of financial sector stability, progress in the region Mutesi noted that the skills gap in the financial sector, if not addressed, will jeopardise the efforts of the financial centre. If investors come in and do not find the skills they are looking for, they either leave or bring in their own people, defeating one of KIFC's purposes of creating jobs, she said. Rwanda Finance limited CEO, Nick Barigye, said the survey also highlighted the need for emerging skills for the future. “The demand for expertise in areas such as corporate governance, FinTech, green finance, risk management is growing exponentially,” he said, adding that there is an opportunity to develop specialised training programmes and partnerships that cater to these needs. Employability The report indicates that while 60 per cent of finance and accounting graduates are employed, only 9 per cent actually work in the finance sector, indicating that the sector is not absorbing the graduates. This low employability rate, the reports says, indicates a need for better alignment between university curriculums and industry needs. Christine Baingana, Rwanda Academy of Finance steering committee Chairperson and CEO of Urwego Finance, said there is a need to address the non-alignment of education curriculums and industry needs. Overhauling the education sector is a massive endeavor, but adding elements like critical thinking, analytical thinking and financial modelling would be a good foundation on which the financial sector can build on and upskill the professionals,” she noted. Richard Tushabe, the Minister of State in charge of the National Treasury at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN), said the survey should serve as a wake-up call to the education sector ALSO READ: How can the skills gap among youth be addressed? The skills gap and low employability rate of graduates, highlights the urgent need for targeted strategies to realign the education system in our country with industry demands, Tushabe said. Gender disparities The survey also brought to the fore the gender disparities in the financial sector, with more men employed than women. Simon Kibe, a human resource consultant, emphasised the need to do more to accommodate women in the financial services sector, citing a bias towards men. There is a bias towards men in the sector probably because they can spend long hours at work. The sector needs to customise the workplace to accommodate the needs of women, especially those with young children and enable them to play at the same level as men, she observed. A number of financial institutions in the country have established a mother's room, designed to cater to the needs of nursing mothers and their infants during working hours, a move that is slowly helping to promote gender equality in the financial sector. Low hanging fruits Developing specialised skills for the financial sector takes a significant amount of time, but given its target to become a financial hub in the region and the wider continent, the country does not have the luxury of time. “The private sector should be encouraged or incentivised to provide internship to graduates, Kibe said, adding that mechanisms such as waiving Pay As You Earn (PAYE) for interns in the short employment period could encourage the culture of professional internships. Kato Kimbugwe, Managing Director, Vanguard Economics, said, The low hanging fruit for me is internship programmes, driven by the private sector, and linked to universities.” The report also recommends a training levy that will be used to train staff in specialised roles and reduce poaching. To attract and retain specialised skilled staff in the financial sector, the report recommends salary incentives, by benchmarking with other countries in the region or by offering performance-based bonuses.", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Tesi Kaven" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/", "sameAs": ["https://www.facebook.com/TheNewTimesRwanda/","https://twitter.com/NewTimesRwanda","https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZbZj6DF9zWXpdZVceDZkg"], "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "/theme_newtimes/images/logo.png", "width": 270, "height": 57 } }, "copyrightHolder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/" } }

Sellers' 20-yard TD run with 1:08 to go lifts No. 16 South Carolina to 17-14 win over No. 12 Clemson

Manchester City's crisis continued with a 2-0 defeat away to Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday, while Pep Guardiola's old club Barcelona beat Borussia Dortmund to clinch a spot in the knockout stage of Europe's elite club competition. Arsenal, AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Lille, Feyenoord and Stuttgart were also victorious, but City's latest loss in a miserable run will dominate the headlines. The 2023 European champions succumbed in Turin as Dusan Vlahovic put Juventus ahead early in the second half when goalkeeper Ederson was unable to keep out his header. Ilkay Gundogan was denied an equaliser by a fine Michele Di Gregorio save, before Weston McKennie made it 2-0 with a fine acrobatic finish in the 75th minute. The result leaves Juventus on 11 points with two games left, a tally that is expected to be enough to guarantee them at least a place in the knockout phase play-offs. City, meanwhile, have now won just once in 10 in all competitions, with seven defeats in that time. With just eight points, they currently sit 22nd in the standings, in which the top 24 advance to the knockouts. Their next game will be crucial, as they travel to a Paris Saint-Germain side who sit a point beneath Guardiola's men. "We have to get points, we'll go to Paris to try and do that and the same goes for the final match at home (to Club Brugge)," Guardiola told Amazon Prime in Italy. Barcelona are second in the standings with 15 points, behind only Liverpool, after beating Dortmund 3-2 in a thriller in Germany, with Ferran Torres their hero. Raphinha fired Barca ahead with his 17th goal of the season, early in a remarkable second half. Serhou Guirassy equalised with a penalty on the hour mark, but substitute Torres put Barca back in front on 75 minutes, converting the loose ball after Fermin Lopez's shot was saved. Guirassy scored again for a quick equaliser, only for Torres to strike once more and win the game for Barca with five minutes left. Barcelona's tally leaves them, like Liverpool, ideally placed to finish in the top eight, which means direct progress to the last 16 without having to go through the play-offs. Arsenal are third in the standings on 13 points after easing to a 3-0 win over Monaco in London. Bukayo Saka scored twice, putting the Gunners ahead in the first half and making it 2-0 on 78 minutes as the hosts pounced on disastrous Monaco defending. Saka then turned provider for the late third, with substitute Kai Havertz credited with the final touch. Mikel Arteta's team are one of six sides on 13 points, with Lille also on that tally after edging Sturm Graz 3-2 in France thanks to a fine late winner from Hakon Haraldsson. Lille were 2-0 up through Osame Sahraoui and Mitchel Bakker, only for goals by Otar Kiteishvili and Mika Biereth to bring the Austrian champions back level. However, Icelandic midfielder Haraldsson secured Lille's fourth win of the campaign. Atletico eased to a 3-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava, with Antoine Griezmann scoring twice after Julian Alvarez had opened the scoring with an excellent strike. David Strelec pulled one back for the Slovaks, who are one of three teams already eliminated having lost six games out of six. The others are RB Leipzig and Young Boys. Milan defeated Red Star Belgrade 2-1 at San Siro with Tammy Abraham grabbing the winner three minutes from time. Rafael Leao had put Milan ahead only for Nemanja Radonjic to equalise for the Serbian side, who have lost five of their six games and are surely heading out. Benfica edged closer to a play-off spot with a 0-0 draw at home to Bologna of Italy, who have scored just one goal in six games and will go no further. Feyenoord stayed on course to go through after beating Sparta Prague 4-2 in Rotterdam, with Gernot Trauner, Igor Paixao, Anis Hadj Moussa and Santiago Gimenez netting their goals. Stuttgart kept alive their hopes of progress by coming from behind to beat Young Boys 5-1. Lukasz Lakomy put Young Boys ahead but Angelo Stiller levelled before Enzo Millot, Chris Fuehrich, Josha Vagnoman and Yannik Keitel all scored in the second half. The next round of Champions League games is scheduled for January 21 and 22, with the league phase concluding the following week. as/jc

Canned Food Market Evaluated By Top Industry Players According To Growth Trends, Forecast By 2026

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y. S. Sharmila on Thursday accused the Narendra Modi government at the Centre of feeding people of Andhra Pradesh with lies with claims of reviving the Visakha Steel plant. The State Congress chief posted on X alleging that attempts were on to debilitate the steel plant “as part of a conspiracy to sell it to Modi’s friends at dirt cheap price.” She said even while claiming that there were no plans to privatise the plant, the Centre continued to neglect it without providing any financial aid. She said in Karnataka, which was represented by Union Steel Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, funds to the tune of ₹15,000 crore were provided as assistance to save the Karnataka Steel Plant, which employed just 243 people, while the Visakha Steel Plant was meted a raw deal, ignoring the fact that it employed 26,000 people. “The JD(S) with just two MPs, has secured ₹15,000 crore for Karnataka Steel, while the TDP and the Jana Sena Party, which are supporting the NDA government at the Centre with their 18 MPs, do not have the spine to take up Visakha Steel Plant issue,” she said. Ms. Sharmila also found fault with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for discussing about setting up a new plant with Mittal Steel and ensuring iron ore supply to it, instead of making a firm demand on revival of the Visakha Steel Plant. She said the Congress demanded merger of the Visakha Steel Plant into SAIL, immediate steps to start production of 7 million tonnes immediately and expansion of the plant’s future capacity to 20 million tonnes. Ms. Sharmila said should the Centre neglect or turn down these demands, the TDP and its ally Jana Sena Party should withdraw their support to the NDA coalition government at the Centre.

Broncos cornerback Riley Moss (knee) was listed as a non-participant despite stretching with the team during Wednesday’s practice. After Moss stretched, he did not participate in individual drills and went into the indoor practice field, where he worked with a trainer. Moss missed Week 13’s win over the Browns due to an MCL injury that he suffered in Denver’s victory against the Raiders last month. The injury also kept him from practicing the week leading up to the team’s Monday night showdown against Cleveland. This season, Moss has been a solid presence at outside cornerback. He has 71 tackles, an interception and eight passes defended in 12 starts. The former Iowa standout and high school track star also has given up 595 yards, two touchdowns and a passer rating of 89.4 on 78 targets. In addition to Moss’ return, starting safety Brandon Jones was a limited participant due to an abdominal injury. Jones missed Denver’s matchup against the Falcons with the same injury. He was also an early exit in the game against the Browns because of a groin issue. Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton said the team’s decision to let go of veteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught him off guard. “I’m definitely going to miss Josh,” Sutton said. “I texted him after that happened. The guy was a true professional, a very selfless guy in our room and we appreciated him. I have so much love for him.” Reynolds was waived by the team last week after he had totaled 12 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown in five games played. He was placed on injured reserve after Week 5’s win over Las Vegas due to a finger injury, which required minor surgery. While Reynolds recovered from his injury, he was shot twice in an incident during which he and two others had their vehicle shot at more than 30 times Payton said Monday the decision to move on from Reynolds came down to a numbers game. Payton added that the team would’ve liked to keep him but due to players returning from injury and the development of young players such as 26-year-old rookie Devaughn Vele (33 catches, 377 yards, one touchdown) and second-year wideout Marvin Mims Jr. (19 catches, 267 yards, two touchdowns), the Broncos had to make a tough decision. “I think our young guys have shown up and continued to develop as we’ve wanted them to,” Sutton said. “The young guys are starting to find their niche and they’re making plays. That’s all you can ask for.” One of the greatest coaches of all time is headed to the college level. Former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick accepted a deal to become the next coach at North Carolina, . Before the news broke, Payton expressed optimism about Belichick being able to handle the college level. “I’m sure he’s got a plan and he’s going to do what’s best,” Payton said. “I’m a big fan of his and think the world of him.”

Trump picks former Georgia Sen. David Perdue for U.S. ambassador to China

Itanagar, Nov 30 (IANS): Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday strongly criticised the use of deception and disturbance as a weapon, as a political strategy to keep away from debate, dialogue, discussion, and deliberation. Addressing the students at the 22nd Convocation Ceremony of Rajiv Gandhi University at Rono Hills in Arunachal Pradesh's Doimukh, the Vice President appealed to every Parliamentarian "to justify and vindicate the trust imposed by the people of Bharat". "The aspirations and dreams of people have to fructify through our positive actions," he said, and reminded Parliamentarians that the youth of the country are watching them, serving as watchdogs of democracy, and will hold them accountable. Jagdeep Dhankhar said that corruption was a big drain on young minds. "Favouritism, corruption, nepotism -- these were killing your talent. Corruption was a password for a job, for a contract, for an opportunity. It has vanished. Corruption has been neutralized from power corridors," he said. The Vice President said that there was a time when you could not find an Indian in the top global corporate, but now there is hardly any global corporate that does not have an Indian mind at the head. Reflecting on India's unprecedented rise on the global stage, he remarked, India is a country that is on the rise, when you look at the sea, when you look at the land, when you look at the sky, and when you look at space. V-P Dhankhar highlighted that India is already the fifth-largest global economy and is on its way to becoming the third-largest. Encouraging the promotion of local products, the Vice President urged citizens to support indigenous industries. He emphasised that students will be hugely contributing to the national economy if they believe in local produce. Highlighting the harmful effects of relying on imported goods like clothes, furniture, curtains, and toys, he noted, "it (import of items) snatches employment from our people who could make it". Secondly," our foreign exchange is drained (due to the import of goods) and thirdly, our entrepreneurship is blunted", the Vice President pointed out. "Don't use petrol or gas or any other natural resource just because your pocket can afford it. There has to be optimal utilisation of natural resources. You will be hugely contributing to the national economy if you believe in local products. Using imported items has many deleterious effects," Jagdeep Dhankhar said. The Vice-President reminded the students of their immense privilege to be citizens of a great nation at a time when Bharat is being recognised globally as never before. He told them: "You are extremely fortunate to be citizens of this great nation, and you are fortunate to be living in times when there is recognition of Bharat as never before." Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen Kaiwalya Trivikram Parnaik, (Retd.), Chancellor of Rajiv Gandhi University Dr. J. Suresh Babu, Vice-Chancellor Prof. S.K. Nayak and other dignitaries were also present on the occasion.

Regulating OTTs comes under preview of I&B ministry, concerns of Telecom Service Providers are raised: Jyotiraditya ScindiaPHILADELPHIA -- Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett , who is dealing with a rib injury, said Thursday he is "ready to go" for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys . Starter Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol and has yet to practice this week. Pickett replaced Hurts in the lineup against the Washington Commanders last Sunday and injured his ribs in the fourth quarter when he was wrestled down in the backfield by linebacker Bobby Wagner . He remained in the game but had X-rays afterward and follow-up tests Monday. Pickett did not reveal the results of those tests but said the injury "is something that I'm going to have to deal with." He plans on wearing additional padding around his rib area in addition to the flak jacket he normally wears on game day. Editor's Picks Source: Sirianni apologized to Ertz following spat 23m Tim McManus Sources: DeSean Jackson near deal to coach DSU 14m Ex-Eagles LB Bergey dies at 79 after cancer battle 1d He said he practiced in full Thursday and doesn't expect to have any limitations in the game. The overall tone of Pickett's media session after Thursday's practice was of a quarterback expecting to play against the Cowboys. "I don't try to get too caught up into it because there is so much that goes into playing quarterback. I just want to focus on doing my job each play and ... we'll see what happens in the fourth quarter," Pickett said. "That's really my focus right now, being as prepared as possible, and when it's all said and done and the game's over and I'm back home with my family, I think that will be the time to sit back and talk about it a little bit. But I'm just focused on being as prepared as I can be right now." If Hurts can't play, Tanner McKee would assume the role of No. 2 quarterback behind Pickett. A sixth-round pick out of Stanford in 2023, McKee has impressed in training camp practices and in preseason games over the past two seasons. He has been working on taking snaps from center Cam Jurgens this week so it's not new to him should he be called on in Sunday's game. Hurts exited the Commanders game midway through the first quarter after his head collided with the turf as he was hit by linebacker Frankie Luvu on a 13-yard run. Washington ended up rallying to win 36-33 in Hurts' absence, handing the Eagles their first loss in 11 games. The Eagles' chances of securing the top seed in the NFC dropped to 4% with the loss, per NextGen Stats, but they can still win the division with a win over Dallas or a Commanders loss or tie to the Atlanta Falcons this week. Coach Nick Sirianni has said little about Hurts' status. "When you're in concussion protocol, I have no say in that and Jalen has no say in that. That's completely up to the doctors," Sirianni said, "as it should be."
