Bayer Leverkusen's Nordi Mukiele scored a 90th-minute goal to give his team a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday and move the Germans closer to qualification. The Germans, who enjoyed more than 60% of possession, were the better side for most of the game, hitting the post through Nathan Tella early in the match before going close again with shots from Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah. But they had to wait until the final minute for Mukiele to slot in after a goalmouth scramble which was the first goal Inter had conceded in the competition after five clean sheets. The Italians' first defeat in the competition saw them drop to fourth place on 13 points, behind Leverkusen who are second, also on 13 with two matches remaining. The top eight teams qualify automatically for the round of 16 while the next 16 go into a playoff to determine the other eight teams that go through. Xabi Alonso's side had the upper hand from the start and went close after only three minutes when Tella's thunderous volley bounced off the crossbar. In-form Wirtz then saw his stinging shot saved by keeper Yann Sommer in the 35th minute with the Italians more than happy to sit back and soak up the pressure. With around 65% of possession, Leverkusen kept at it and Jeremie Frimpong narrowly missed the target after being sent through by Wirtz. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi's substitutions after the hour mark looked to inject new life into their game but they still could not threaten up front, with the match heading towards a goalless conclusion until the 27-year-old Mukiele pounced on a loose ball in the box to drill in the winner.

Q&A: Promises and perils of AI in medicine, according to experts in public health and AIOTTAWA - Canada didn’t live up to its values on immigration over the last few years as it allowed more people into the country than it could absorb, said former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. Carney, who is a special adviser to the Liberal party, made the comments at an event on Wednesday in Ottawa held by Cardus, a Christian think tank. “I think what happened in the last few years is we didn’t live up to our values on immigration,” Carney said. “We had much higher levels of foreign workers, students and new Canadians coming in than we could absorb, that we have housing for, that we have health care for, that we have social services for, that we have opportunities for. And so we’re letting down the people that we let in, quite frankly.” Earlier this fall, the Liberal government announced a plan to significantly reduce its immigration target for permanent residents and to dramatically scale back the number of temporary residents in Canada. Those changes came about after a period of strong population growth and mounting criticism of the government’s immigration policies. Statistics Canada recently reported that the population on July 1 was three per cent higher than a year earlier. Between 1998 and 2018, annual population growth was less than 1.5 per cent. With the planned changes to immigration targets, the federal government now estimates Canada’s population will decline slightly by 0.2 per cent in 2025 and 2026, before returning to growth of 0.8 per cent in 2027. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has acknowledged that his government did not get the balance right on immigration after the COVID-19 pandemic. Carney also pointed to the pandemic as he dug into what went wrong on immigration policy. He said Canada chose to loosen its rules in response to pressure from businesses facing a labour shortage to allow more temporary foreign workers into the country, but he said the government ended up “losing track” in the process. He also blamed provinces for underfunding higher education, which pushed institutions to turn to foreign students to make money. “Do we value higher education in this country or not? Well, if we value higher education, maybe we should start funding our universities,” he said. “On the foreign student side, it’s more on provincial policy, on squeezing universities, in a sense.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2024.

NoneThe use of artificial intelligence has grown across industries globally, but there is still some confusion over how to properly use the technology at work. In Singapore, 52% of employees are using artificial intelligence in their jobs, according to Slack's Workforce Index , which in August surveyed over 17,000 workers across 15 countries, including 1,008 in Singapore. > 24/7 San Diego news stream: Watch NBC 7 free wherever you are The demand for AI talent in the country has grown. There has been a 4.6x increase in generative AI-related job postings in the city-state between September 2023 and September 2024, according to Indeed . But despite the fact that demand for AI talent has surged in Singapore, 45% of the employees in the country report feeling uncomfortable admitting to managers that they are using the technology for workplace tasks. For those who reported feeling that way, top reasons included the fear of being seen as "incompetent," "lazy" or "cheating," according to Slack's report. "Workers are excited about AI, but they're uncertain about how to use it in the workplace, and this uncertainty is standing in the way of broader AI adoption," Christina Janzer, senior vice president of research and analytics at Slack, told CNBC Make It . "Too much of the burden today has been put on workers to figure out AI. It's important that leaders not only train workers to use AI, but encourage employees to talk about it and experiment with AI out in the open," said Janzer. Money Report CNBC Daily Open: Inflation's hot, but so are markets this year Asia markets mostly fall as investors assess China's stimulus pledges; South Korea stocks climb Businesses should also create the time and space necessary for this experimentation, and encourage employees to share what they learned with colleagues for inspiration, she said. They can also lead by example by openly demonstrating how they are using the technology in their own jobs. Additionally, employers should provide guidance on which AI tools are "approved and trusted" to be used within their businesses, and which tasks these tools can be used for, Janzer told CNBC Make It. "Without clear guidance, workers are confused about when it is socially and professionally acceptable to use AI at work — and are keeping their usage under wraps," according to Slack's report. Despite the uncertainty, employees in Singapore still seek to improve their AI skills. In fact, 88% "feel an urgency to become an AI expert," according to the report. However, the majority (63%) of workers in the country have spent less than five hours in total learning how to use artificial intelligence. Ultimately, "employers will need to solve the gap in training and get clear about AI guidelines, as current employees and new professionals entering the workforce will gravitate to more supportive workplaces," according to Slack's research.

PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The St. Petersburg City Council voted Thursday to spend more than $23 million to repair the hurricane-shredded roof of Tropicana Field , with the goal of having the home of the Tampa Bay Rays ready for the 2026 season. The vote followed a decision earlier this week by the Pinellas County Commission to delay until December a vote on revenue bonds needed to finance a new, $1.3 billion Rays ballpark, a project that is in serious jeopardy according to Rays executives.
