Antia also highlights that innovations such as hydrogen and carbon capture and storage, while promising, currently do not provide an attractive risk-reward proposition for investors in the energy sector.

據ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports報導，預測2024年NFL賽季中愛國者的戰績將是最差的，根據各大博彩公司的賠率數據。多家體育書籍顯示，愛國者現在是球季最低勝場數的預測，線上/線下為4.5場。之前戰績最低的帝豪現在的預測勝場數已上升至5.5。帝豪以5.5的勝場數與野馬隊並列為第二低；而在21世紀前兩個十年持續取得空前成功後，愛國者在2023年遭遇低谷，因此2024年預期也不看好。希望遭遇此情況不需在2025年NFL選秀中使用第一順位選秀權釋出的選手來取代馬耶。

Zambia has successfully ended a nearly four-year default on its dollar bonds by issuing two series of restructured notes, becoming the first in Africa to default during the pandemic in 2020. The restructuring, achieved through intense negotiations, marks the first successful use of the Group of 20’s Common Framework to restructure eurobonds alongside debts to other governments, including China. However, credit rating agencies have not yet changed their default classifications as the government still needs to restructure $3.3 billion in loans owed to commercial lenders separately. Talks with creditors are ongoing, and agencies like Fitch and S&P expect Zambia to bounce back economically next year, with copper production and prices playing a key role in its recovery.
