Recently, Country Garden, one of China's leading real estate developers, has found itself facing a wave of criticism and controversy. Various issues ranging from conflicts with local communities to accusations of environmental violations have put the company in the spotlight. In response to these challenges, Country Garden has issued a statement addressing the concerns and pledging to make improvements.* Warner Bros Discovery gains on plan to split TV, streaming units * Adobe drops after forecasting 2025 revenue below estimates * Centene rises after guiding 2025 profit above expectations * Indexes down: Dow 0.33%, S&P 500 0.24%, Nasdaq 0.23% (Updates with investor comment in paragraphs 4-5, share prices throughout) By Echo Wang NEW YORK, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Wall Street edged lower on Thursday as investors assessed key economic data ahead of the Federal Reserve's meeting next week. The Nasdaq surged past the 20,000 mark for the first time on Wednesday, fueled by a relentless rally in technology stocks. The S&P 500 climbed to its highest level in nearly a week, as an inflation report aligning with expectations cemented bets on a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Fed's Dec. 17-18 meeting. Initial claims for U.S. unemployment benefits unexpectedly climbed last week, raising concerns over labor-market resilience. U.S. producer prices rose more than forecast in November, though a moderation in service costs pointed to a continuation of the broader disinflationary trend. "Investors are just trying to suss out what is the Fed going to do next week? Is inflation really going to be a problem and the Fed has to really slow its role on rate cuts, or can they get there?" said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle. Haworth added there was profit-taking after the Nasdaq touched an all-time high on Wednesday. Trader bets on the cut next week stand at over 98%, according to CME's FedWatch Tool. However, they indicate expectations of a pause in January after several Fed officials last week urged caution over the pace of monetary policy easing as the economy remained resilient. At 1:50 p.m. EST (1950 GMT) the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 144.71 points, or 0.33%, to 44,004.27, the S&P 500 lost 14.59 points, or 0.24%, to 6,069.60 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 46.62 points, or 0.23%, to 19,988.28. Eight of the 11 major S&P sub-sectors were trading lower, with the healthcare sector at the bottom with a 0.6% decline. Megacap and growth stocks showed a mixed performance, with Nvidia slipping 0.78%, while Microsoft rose 1.12%. Adobe plunged 13.27% after the Photoshop maker forecast fiscal 2025 revenue below Wall Street expectations, weighing on the broader technology sector. Wall Street's main indexes have hit record highs multiple times this year, fueled by a rally in heavyweight tech stocks that capitalized on enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence and the Fed's interest-rate cuts. U.S. equities concluded a strong November following Donald Trump's presidential election victory, buoyed by expectations of business-friendly policies boosting corporate profits, and have started December on a broadly positive trajectory. Warner Bros Discovery soared 14.97% after the media company announced plans to separate its declining cable-TV business from streaming and studio operations. Nordson slid 9% as the dispensing-equipment maker forecast fiscal 2025 revenue below Wall Street estimates, while health insurer Centene rose 2.41% after forecasting its 2025 profit above estimates. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 2.24-to-1 ratio on the New York Stock Exchange. There were 94 new highs and 75 new lows on the NYSE. The S&P 500 posted 10 new 52-week highs and seven new lows while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 77 new highs and 116 new lows.

For years, Messi and Mbappé have been at the top of their game, each displaying exceptional talent and skill on the field. However, it is their ability to understand and manage emotions, both their own and others', that sets them apart as true masters of the game.Ritholtz Wealth Management’s Josh Brown created a new index that tracks the most popular stocks in some of the hottest themes of the market . What To Know: Last Tuesday on " The Compound & Friends " podcast, Brown set the stage for unveiling the “Degen Dow.” “I think that if we were to make a list of the biggest themes of 2024, one of those themes would have been degeneracy,” Brown said. It’s tough to say precisely how the word “degen” came to be, but some believe it originates from the term “degenerate gambler” in sports betting and gambling culture, according to The Wall Street Journal. It’s also used by crypto traders and meme-stock traders who often make risky short-term bets based on momentum and steer clear of traditional ways of assessing investments. Brown put together a list of the top stocks used as trading vehicles by “degen” traders using platforms such as Robinhood, Stocktwits and Reddit’s WallStreetBets . The list includes high beta Bitcoin BTC/USD -related names, gaming and gambling companies, AI names, space theme plays, Cathie Wood favorites and president-elect Donald Trump -related stocks. “All the major degen food groups are represented,” Brown said. Here’s a look at all of the stocks that made it into the “Degen Dow.” Archer Aviation Inc ACHR AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc AMC Applovin Corp APP Coinbase Global Inc COIN Carvana Co CVNA Trump Media & Technology Group Corp DJT DraftKings Inc DKNG Flutter Entertainment Plc FLUT Geo Group Inc GEO GameStop Corp GME Hims & Hers Health, Inc HIMS Robinhood Markets, Inc HOOD Lucid Group, Inc LCID MARA Holdings, Inc MARA MicroStrategy Inc MSTR NVIDIA Corp NVDA PagerDuty, Inc PD Palantir Technologies Inc PLTR Roblox Corp RBLX Reddit, Inc RDDT Riot Platforms, Inc RIOT Rivian Automotive, Inc RIVN Rocket Lab USA, Inc RKLB Rumble Inc RUM Super Micro Computer Inc SMCI SoFi Technologies, Inc SOFI SoundHound AI, Inc SOUN Tesla, Inc TSLA Unity Software Inc U Vistra Corp VST Why It Matters: Brown equal-weighted the basket of stocks in the index to track performance. The index actually declined more than 80% from the highs in late 2021, but it has formed a base and appears to be breaking out to the upside with gains of nearly 50% since the start of the year. “Look how it’s like turning up ... this thing is ripping into year-end,” Brown said, to which his co-host Michael Batnick replied, “I want to get long.” Brown noted Nvidia and Reddit are the only two names on the list he currently owns.

Nine years ago, when 195 countries signed up to a net-zero target in Paris, nuclear was a dirty word at international climate gatherings. A huge pavilion was built in the French capital for the COP 21 climate conference in 2015, showcasing the host nation’s leadership in various fields of science and technology. Yet nowhere did the pavilion mention nuclear energy, a field in which France held a leading edge. Greenpeace’s Jan Haverkamp trumpeted it as a sign that the nuclear sector was in trouble. "They will increasingly struggle to update their fleet and do not know how to finance new projects,” he told France 24. Fast forward to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, which is a very different story. Six more countries joined the pledge to help triple the world’s nuclear energy capacity by 2050, bringing the number of nations on board with the agreement launched last year to 31. Haverkamp’s prediction the nuclear industry would be starved of finance was wide of the mark. In September, 14 of the world’s largest banks pledged to finance the expansion, including Bank of America, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Brookfield, Citi, Credit Agricole CIB, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Rothschild & Co. The change in global attitudes towards nuclear has left the Albanese government deeply exposed. Suppose nuclear energy is as expensive as Labor claims and renewable energy is a technically and economically viable alternative. Then why are nations as diverse as France, South Korea, Turkey and Romania rushing to build new reactors? Even countries with no historical ties to nuclear power are entering the fray. Turkey, for instance, is constructing its first nuclear power plant and planning two more to meet rising electricity demands and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. Similarly, Romania is expanding its nuclear capacity with Western nations' support and pioneering smaller, innovative reactor designs. As Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala noted at COP29: "I strongly believe that nuclear power is essential to meet climate goals." The global change of heart towards nuclear has pulled the rug from under the Albanese government. For the country with the largest known reserves of uranium to rule out nuclear power is absurdly irrational. In the absence of Anthony Albanese from Parliament this week, it was left to Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles to defend Labor's increasingly precarious position. “You can't go out there and just magic the reactors - you've actually got to go and build them,” Marles said. He has said building the reactors would take 20 years. The argument that building reactors takes time is all the more reason why we should start planning for them now. Yet international experience suggests it won’t take two decades. The UAE’s first reactor at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant took eight years to build. The average construction time for a nuclear generator is 7.5 years with 85 per cent completed in under 10 years. Marles' less-than-convincing recitation of Labor’s talking points in Question Time on Wednesday was a clear sign the politics of nuclear energy have slipped from Labor’s grasp. The body language on the government benches offered further evidence the Coalition has comprehensively won the argument. Peter Dutton’s decision to embrace nuclear in 2022 was seen as risky at the time by some influential Liberal Party figures given Labor’s ability to master fact-free policy scare campaigns. It has partly paid off because Dutton and his energy spokesman, Ted O’Brien, have mastered the policy detail. Internal arguments in the Coalition over climate and energy policy that sapped the party’s strength for a decade are over. The nuclear option is virtuous and practical, providing common ground for believers and sceptics. Scott Morrison’s decision to sign up for Zero 2050 remains controversial within the Coalition. Yet it robbed their opponents of an easy line of attack and changed the debate from the morality of climate change to practicalities. The case for nuclear power has been made easier by Labor’s brittle policy, and an energy minister who is more certain than informed. Seldom has a minister failed to deliver so much in such a short amount of time as Chris Bowen has in the energy portfolio. He has not managed to lower household power bills by $275 in Labor’s first term. He has not succeeded in speeding up the roll-out of renewable energy. His target of installing 40 7MW wind turbines a month and 20,000 solar panels a day has proved hopelessly unachievable. Indeed, the number of projects that have reached financial completion has fallen. He has not succeeded in reducing CO2 emissions, which have flatlined since Labor came to power. His boast of turning Australia into a clean-energy superpower has fallen flat as investors have gone cold on the future of green hydrogen. Critically, Bowen has been unable to say how much his renewable-only net-zero policy will cost. Labour's energy policy to the last election is much more of a liability than an asset. The advantage of climate and energy in the next election will be in the hands of the Coalition.

Ireland’s premier has spoken to the Dublin woman who won a civil case against mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor to praise her courage. Taoiseach Simon Harris said he also wanted to tell Nikita Hand, a hair colourist from Drimnagh, that her case had prompted an increase in women coming forward to ask for support. Ms Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the Irish capital on Friday. The total amount of damages awarded to Ms Hand by the jury was 248,603.60 euro (£206,714.31). Mr McGregor said in a post on social media on Friday that he intends to appeal against the decision. That post has since been deleted. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Mr Harris said he told Ms Hand of the support she has from people across Ireland. “I spoke with Nikita today and I wanted to thank her for her incredible bravery and her courage,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that she knew how much solidarity and support there was across this country for her bravery. “I also wanted to make sure she knew of what the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre had said yesterday – that so many other women have now come forward in relation to their own experiences of sexual abuse as a result of Nikita’s bravery.” The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre said the case has had a “profound effect” on the people the charity supports, and that over the first 10 days of the High Court case, calls to its national helpline increased by almost 20%. It said that first-time callers increased by 50% compared to the same period last year, and were largely from people who had experienced sexual violence who were distressed and anxious from the details of case and the views people had to it. Mr Harris said: “I wanted to speak with her and I wanted to wish her and her daughter, Freya, all the very best night, and I was very grateful to talk with Nikita today. “Her bravery, her courage, her voice has made a real difference in a country in which we must continue to work to get to zero tolerance when it comes to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. “I don’t want to say too much more, because conscious there could be further legal processes, but I absolutely want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her courage, for using her voice.” Justice Minister Helen McEntee praised Ms Hand’s bravery and said she had shown “there is light at the end of the tunnel”. She said: “I just want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her determination and the leadership that she has shown in what has been – I’ve no doubt – a very, very difficult time for her and indeed, for her family. She added: “Because of wonderful people like Nikita, I hope that it shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that there are supports available to people, and that there is justice at the end of the day.” Ms Hand said in a statement outside court on Friday that she hoped her case would remind victims of assault to keep “pushing forward for justice”. Describing the past six years as “a nightmare”, she said: “I want to show (my daughter) Freya and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served.” During the case, Ms Hand said she was “disappointed and upset” when the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided not to prosecute the case after she made a complaint to the Irish police. In a letter to her in August 2020, the DPP said there was “insufficient evidence” and there was not a reasonable prospect of conviction. Ms Hand asked the DPP to review the decision, saying she felt she was being treated differently because one of the suspects was famous. Asked about the DPP’s decision not to prosecute, Mr Harris and Ms McEntee stressed the importance of the DPP’s independence on whether to prosecute. “There are obviously structures in place where the DPP can meet a victim and can outline to them their reasons for not taking the case,” Mr Harris said. “But there’s also always an opportunity for the DPP in any situation – and I speak broadly in relation to this – to review a decision, to consider any new information that may come to light, and I don’t want to say anything that may ever cut across the ongoing work of the DPP.” Ms McEntee stressed that there should “never be any political interference” in the independence of the DPP’s decisions. “I have, since becoming minister, given priority to and enabled a new office within the DPP to open specifically focused on sexual offences, so that this issue can be given the focus and the priority that it needs,” she said.In addition, the meeting also stressed the importance of enhancing the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in driving economic growth. By supporting SMEs and providing them with the necessary resources and infrastructure, China aims to create a more diverse and resilient economic landscape. This move signals the government's recognition of the vital role that SMEs play in driving entrepreneurship and innovation.In response to the man's repeated failures, netizens were quick to point out the irony of his situation.

The development of gastric cancer is a multifaceted process influenced by various factors. One of the primary reasons for the increasing incidence of gastric cancer in younger individuals is the changing dietary habits and lifestyle choices in modern society. Poor dietary choices, such as high consumption of processed foods, fatty and salty foods, and low intake of fruits and vegetables, have been linked to an increased risk of gastric cancer. Additionally, factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and obesity have also been associated with an elevated risk of developing gastric cancer.In the competitive world of Italian football, every move and decision made by top clubs like Inter Milan (Internazionale) can have a major impact on their chances of success both domestically and in Europe.

Photo: Supplied / RNZ By Anna Sargent The daughter of well-known Canterbury farmer Chris Allen has expressed her family's gratitude for the love and support received since her father died in a farm accident this week. It is understood the 62-year-old died after he was electrocuted while fixing a garage door on his property in Ashburton Forks on Monday. Allen was a respected farmer and advocate in the Ashburton district, and a Federated Farmers board member for eight years. 'One of life's good buggers' A 'titan' of ag-advocacy The Allens sheep and beef property was badly damaged in the devastating floods that hit the region in 2021, and former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern visited the farm. Family and friends have posted tributes on social media, including Allen's daughter Natalie Allen. "It's with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news of Dad's sudden passing. We know he has touched so many lives and we are grateful for the love and support our family has received," she wrote on Facebook. David Clark said Allen was his neighbour for 30 years and one of his closest friends "His contribution to our community and agriculture across New Zealand has been immense with his tireless advocacy in biodiversity, environment, water management and emergency response on behalf of NZ farmers," he posted on Facebook. "But most of all Chris was a dearly loved husband of Anne-Marie and father of Natalie and Jono. His untimely death is tragic." Associate Agriculture Minister Andrew Hoggard said he was shocked and saddened by Allen's death. "Chris was just an absolute top bloke who gave so much to his community and others. He will be missed, and I will especially miss the good natured ribbing and jokes," he said on Facebook. Federated Farmers chief executive Terry Copeland described Allen's death as a tragic accident, saying farmers had lost a "Titan" of rural advocacy. He said Allen's decision to fly from his Canterbury home to Napier following Cyclone Gabrielle was a mark of his concern for fellow farmers. "As someone who had experienced serious flooding on his own farm, he wanted to offer fellow farmers support and his personal experience that times would be tough, but there was light at end of the tunnel," Copeland said. Mid-Canterbury Federated Farmers president David Acland said Allen had a huge impact sitting on the national board, along with his contribution to biodiversity. Canterbury regional councillor Ian Mackenzie, a former colleague and close friend of Allen, said he was a lovely man with a fantastic sense of humour. "He had a very nice way about him, he would talk to anybody about anything and when he was negotiating on behalf of farmers or on the river or whatever particular topic he had a very nice way of doing it so people respected him for that. He was very constructive as a result of that mannerism," he said. WorkSafe said it was making initial enquiries about Allen's death to determine if the circumstances were work-related. Police said his death had been referred to the coroner.
