Manchester City marked Pep Guardiola’s 1,000th game as a manager in style with a 3-0 victory over Liverpool, reigniting their Premier League title challenge on Sunday. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest earned a crucial 3-1 win over Leeds United to boost their survival bid. At the Etihad Stadium, City dominated from start to finish despite an early setback. Erling Haaland missed a penalty in the 12th minute after VAR ruled that Jeremy Doku had been fouled by Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The keeper redeemed himself by saving Haaland’s spot-kick, but the Norwegian striker quickly bounced back to open the scoring in the…

At the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) Compliance Forum (ACF) held in Kigali on Wednesday, November 12, policymakers, central bankers, and financial experts emphasized that artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize how African nations manage compliance, detect financial crimes, and facilitate smooth cross-border trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). “For decades, compliance was seen as a burden — a necessary cost of doing business,” said Carine Umutoni, Managing Director of Ecobank Rwanda. “But today, it’s viewed as a growth enabler. Despite progress in building digital payment systems and trade platforms, intra-African trade still represents only 15% of the continent’s…

Luke Humphries has revealed that he came close to pulling out of the Grand Slam of Darts due to a severe back and shoulder problem — but managed to push through the pain to reach the quarter-finals. The world No. 1 said he woke up on Wednesday barely able to lift his head off the pillow because of what he believed was a back spasm. “For about 15 minutes, I couldn’t pick my head up,” he told Sky Sports. “I honestly thought I’d have to withdraw today — my back and shoulder were in terrible shape.” Humphries credited his physio,…

ADDIS ABABA, Nov 12 — Ethiopia has been selected to host the United Nations COP32 Climate Summit in 2027, winning the bid over Nigeria after securing the backing of African nations. Richard Muyungi, Chair of the African Group of Negotiators (AGN), confirmed the decision, saying the group had endorsed Ethiopia during a meeting last week. “The AGN has endorsed Ethiopia,” Muyungi told AFP, noting that the decision followed regional consultations among member states. According to a negotiator familiar with the process, Nigeria was eliminated from contention after failing to reconfirm its interest when the issue was raised at the recent…

LONDON, Nov 12 — The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) latest World Energy Outlook delivers a sharp shift in tone, projecting that global oil demand could continue climbing through 2050 — a stark contrast to its earlier forecasts and a reminder of the enduring dominance of fossil fuels in the world economy. Traditionally a routine publication, this year’s report has sparked political debate after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration accused the Paris-based agency of bias for previously suggesting oil demand might peak by 2030. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright dismissed those earlier projections as “nonsensical.” In a notable revision, the 2025…

Despite his privileged upbringing—or perhaps because of it—Zohran Mamdani, the son of a Columbia University professor and a celebrated filmmaker, has built his political identity around democratic socialism and the idea of redistributing New York’s wealth. At a Harlem panel earlier this year, Mamdani discussed a proposal to revoke tax breaks for Columbia University and redirect the revenue to the city’s public university system. “Columbia was our first landlord,” he told the audience, referencing his childhood in university-owned housing. His father, still a Columbia professor, continues to teach there. Now 34, Mamdani distances himself from the elite institutions that shaped…

From an AI-fueled stock rally to record-high gold prices, the warning lights are flashing across nearly every major asset class. The question now isn’t whether markets are overheated — it’s how far the heat spreads when they finally cool. Asset bubbles have a distinct scent. Stocks surge far beyond their earnings. Risky debt starts to look like a sure thing. For a while, it feels like gravity no longer applies — until skepticism creeps in. The only question is whether that faint alarm we hear is a dead battery or a real fire. The S&P 500 now hovers around 6,700,…
