ASX set to rise, Wall Street wavers as tech giants slumpRicky Gervais mocks Roy Keane after joining Neville and Carragher on The OverlapStocks Fall, Yen Eyes Best Day In 2 Months, Bitcoin Rebounds Above $96,000: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?The Prime Minister is set to visit British troops serving on Russia’s border as he says Ukraine will require more funding and capability. Sir Keir Starmer was speaking at the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) conference in Estonia where he met leaders of other Baltic states. After signing an energy partnership with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store in Bergen, Sir Keir flew to Estonia where he spoke alongside Mr Store and their Estonian counterpart Kristen Michal. Asked what else could be done to support Ukraine, Sir Keir said: “There is an ever-increasing demand for more capability. That is understandable, and Ukraine needs all the capability that it can get, so I think all of us have put in more capability into Ukraine by way of equipment.” He added: “A lot of money has been raised, funding has been raised, but more is going to be needed.” The Prime Minister’s also discussed making the economic case at home for continued support for Ukraine. Sir Keir said: “Making the case on the significance of Ukraine, making the case, to double down, linking it back to each of our countries – what does it mean for us if Russia succeeds, is a really important question that we have to answer with our people to make it clear why it is that we are so supportive of Ukraine, why it is that we must stand with our allies on this, why it is we must make sure that Nato is put in the strongest position as well. “Now, this is a different world to the world of 10, 20 years ago, to recognise the world that we are living in, there’s a positive case as well to be made. “Defence spending doesn’t sort of sit in a silo over here with no effect on the rest of the economy, no effect on technology. “It has a huge effect on technologies, the cutting edge of technology and change which can then be used in other areas. “It binds countries together. I think all of us have got joint projects on in terms of defence capabilities that bind us together. There’s a huge number of well-paid jobs that are very important to our economy in defence spending as well. “But we have to make that positive case. I don’t personally feel that we can sort of sit back and assume that all of those in our respective countries necessarily accept all of our arguments unless we make them in that positive way, which I do think the argument can and should and must be made. “But the challenge that you put to us is the right challenge, which is it’s very difficult when finances are tight, as they are in all of our countries.” On Tuesday morning the Prime Minister will meet Taavi Madiberk, the founder of Estonian tech start-up manufacturing low-cost air defence missiles, Frankenburg Technologies, which is planning to open a new office in London Specialising in the manufacture of the missiles, the rapidly growing company already collaborates closely with the UK defence industry, sourcing a significant portion of its subsystems locally, including from propulsion specialists Roxel in Worcestershire. The Prime Minister will again attend the JEF summit, joining leaders from the Nordics and Baltics to discuss support for Ukraine, the sustained threat posed by Russia and wider European security. He will then visit British forces serving in the region to deter malign Russian threats.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie of Kentucky has secured the chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which wields broad jurisdiction over issues affecting the daily lives of Americans. With the GOP set to take unified control of Congress and the White House next year, Guthrie said he's ready to work on the agenda set forth by President-elect Donald Trump and House Republicans. Guthrie's new role puts him at the forefront of some of the nation's biggest policy discussions. The Kentucky congressman will lead a committee with jurisdiction over the country’s health care system, energy and environmental policies, consumer safety, and telecommunications and technology innovation. “We must work together to restore America’s energy dominance and lower energy prices, protect children’s online safety and ensure America remains the world leader in technological innovation, and protect access to life-saving treatments while lowering health care costs,” Guthrie said late Monday. House Speaker Mike Johnson said the committee will be in “good hands” under Guthrie’s leadership, saying the Kentuckian has the experience and know-how needed to “hit the ground running.” The Kentucky Democratic Party took a dig at Guthrie, saying, in a statement, that while he "may have a new title, Kentuckians can only expect to see more of his out-of-touch agenda at work.” Guthrie's rise to the chairmanship adds to the Kentucky delegation's clout in Congress. Another Kentucky Republican, U.S. Rep. James Comer, will continue as chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Many of Trump's priorities align with the committee's jurisdiction, including his push for government efficiency, Comer said Tuesday while outlining his goals for the committee. "We will advance solutions to make the federal government more efficient, effective, transparent and accountable to the American people,” Comer said. The delegation's influence could expand more. Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Barr of Kentucky is in the running to chair the House Financial Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over the financial sector. Republican U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers, a congressional mainstay from Kentucky for decades, will remain a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee. He is a former chairman of the committee. “The general election was a mandate from the American people to lower costs that are crippling family budgets and secure our borders," Rogers said Tuesday. “We must also maintain our commitment to law enforcement and fighting the fentanyl scourge, as we work to make our nation safer.” U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky will continue his push for limited government and fiscal restraint. The lone Democrat in Kentucky's delegation, U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey, will be a vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. McGarvey, who represents a Louisville-area district, said he will be part of a progressive pushback against "an increasingly extreme Republican majority.” Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell will lead a subcommittee overseeing defense spending as he takes on new roles after relinquishing his long-running post as Senate Republican leader. The role dovetails with his belief that America needs a bulked-up military to deter threats from its adversaries. Kentucky's senior senator also will become chairman of the Senate Rules Committee. That will put McConnell at the center of weighty topics, namely federal elections and voting rights as well as the procedures of the Senate, including the debate around the filibuster. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul will lead the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The new role will put the Kentuckian — a limited-government advocate and longtime skeptic of surveillance programs — in charge of a committee with broad jurisdiction over government operations, including the Department of Homeland Security.

He was the firstborn of their four children (Gloria, Ruth, and Billy). Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital. He was born at the Wise Sanitarium. August 18, 1927 Eleanor Rosalynn Smith was born in Plains, Georgia. Accompanying his mother, a registered nurse, young Jimmy saw his future spouse the next day. About their first encounter, Rosalynn once said, “He looked through the cradle bars and saw me.” March 4, 1933 In the midst of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt was inaugurated as the 32nd president. At the time, the Carters lived on a farm in Archery. They moved there from Plains in 1928. June 7, 1937 Plains High School was designated by the state as a “model school” for rural education. Carter started his education at Plains in 1930. He liked school and was an excellent student. His favorite teacher was the school’s superintendent Miss Julia Coleman. June 2, 1941 After he completed the eleventh grade, Carter graduated from Plains High School. There was no twelfth grade at the time. His graduating class had 26 students. He then attended Georgia Southwestern College in nearby Americus for one year and then Georgia Tech in Atlanta for one year. February 13, 1942 Carter and three other students etched their names in the new driveway of the Wheatley Building at Georgia Southwestern College. The students were chosen for this honor because they possessed “strong leadership skills.” June 5, 1946 Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. He joined Ulysses Grant and Dwight Eisenhower as the only presidents to graduate from one of the military service academies. Grant and Eisenhower graduated from West Point. July 7, 1946 Carter married Rosalynn Smith at the Plains Methodist Church. July 3, 1947 John William (Jack) Carter, the first of the Carters’ four children, was born in Portsmouth, Virginia. November 2, 1948 Harry Truman, Carter’s favorite president, was elected to a full term in a dramatic upset victory. April 12, 1950 James Earl (Chip) Carter III, the second of the Carters’ four children, was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. August 18, 1952 Donnel Jeffrey (Jeff) Carter, the third of the Carters’ four children, was born in New London, Connecticut. July 22, 1953 His father Earl died at home from pancreatic cancer. After seven years in service, Carter decided to leave the U.S. Navy that fall and return home to Plains. May 17, 1954 In Brown v. Board of Education , The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously declared that state-mandated racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. November 23, 1955 Y. T. Sheffield, the principal at Plains High School, and the school’s board of trustees recommended the selection of Carter to fill a vacancy on the Sumter County Board of Education.

It was a campaign kickoff with entertainment and barbecue for the “home folks.” September 9, 1970 Carter received the most votes in the Democratic primary for governor. However, with 49 percent, he was shy of the majority threshold. Carl Sanders, a former governor, came in second place with 38 percent. A runoff was therefore required between the top two.
