Capturing planet-warming emissions is becoming a critical part of many plans to keep climate change in check, but very little progress has been made on the technology to date, with efforts focused on cutting emissions rather than taking carbon out of the air. The International Energy Agency said late last year that a sharp rise in the deployment of carbon capture technology was needed if countries are to meet net-zero emissions targets.
The U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution Thursday condemning damage and destruction of religious sites and asking the secretary-general to convene a global conference to spearhead public support for safeguarding places of religious heritage. The resolution condemns the increasing targeting of “cultural property, including religious sites and ritual objects ... by terrorist attacks and outlawed militias,” often resulting in destruction as well as theft and illicit trafficking of stolen items. It strongly deplores “all attacks on and in religious places, sites and shrines ... including any deliberate destruction of relics and monuments” which violate international law.
British challenger INEOS Team UK stands one win away from a direct path to the final of the America’s Cup challenger series, unsure whether that prize will be a blessing or a curse. Team UK and Italian challenger Luna Rossa will race each other once on Saturday and again on Sunday in the last round-robin stage of the Prada Cup challengers series at Auckland, New Zealand. If Team UK wins the first race Saturday or the second on Sunday it will qualify for the final; if Luna Rossa wins both races, the second will count as a tiebreak and the Italian team will progress to the final.

A Houston area health department doctor accused by prosecutors of stealing nine doses of coronavirus vaccine from a damaged vial and administering them to family and friends insists he did nothing wrong and was only trying to ensure the vaccine was not wasted, his attorney said Thursday. Authorities allege that Hasan Gokal, who worked for Harris County Public Health, stole a vial of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine while working at a vaccination site at a suburban Houston park on Dec. 29. Gokal told a health department employee earlier this month that “he had taken a punctured vial of the Moderna vaccine ... at the end of operations and that he took the vial offsite and vaccinated his friends and family,” according to a probable cause complaint.
Tesla Inc chief and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Thursday took to Twitter to promise a $100 million prize for development of the "best" technology to capture carbon dioxide emissions. Capturing planet-warming emissions is becoming a critical part of many plans to keep climate change in check, but very little progress has been made on the technology to date, with efforts focused on cutting emissions rather than taking carbon out of the air. The International Energy Agency said late last year that a sharp rise in the deployment of carbon capture technology was needed if countries are to meet net-zero emissions targets.
On his second day in office President Biden said he would invoke the Defense Production Act to speed up COVID-19 vaccine production. But whether that can rapidly increase output is an open question, experts say.

Returned Honduran migrants are directing anger against their president this week after their U.S.-bound caravan was blocked by the region's security forces, accusing him of making their county unlivable while thwarting their escape to a better life. Honduras is reeling from two back-to-back hurricanes that devastated Central America in November, as well as an historic economic contraction on the back of coronavirus pandemic. President Juan Orlando Hernandez has also been under fire from U.S. prosecutors that have accused him of having ties to drug cartels, an allegation he has strongly denied.
(Bloomberg) -- Bitcoin fell below $30,000 as it continues to retreat from the record highs reached during a furious rally over the past two months.The world’s largest cryptocurrency dropped as low as $29,327 as of 8:29 a.m. in Hong Kong on Friday, after a slide of almost 11% a day earlier. Commentators have cautioned that a sustained drop below $30,000 could presage further losses in the wake of last year’s 300% surge.“This level looks very vulnerable and a break below it is bad news in the near-term for Bitcoin and cryptos in general,” Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda Europe, wrote in a note Thursday. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see a test of $20,000 before too long.”Bitcoin has seen a stellar rally as prices more than doubled after passing $20,000 for the first time in December. It broke above $30,000 in early January before peaking close to $42,000. Volatility then picked up as the digital asset tumbled.The crypto boom has proved controversial, cheered on the one hand by believers who see Bitcoin becoming a more mainstream investment, but decried by others that see little more than speculative mania.Grayscale Investments, which is behind a popular Bitcoin trust, saw total inflows of more than $3 billion across its products in the fourth quarter.

Matt Gothard & Jared Quay discuss if they should bet against the Lakers during their 7-game road trip.
A version of this story on “Palm Springs” star Cristin Milioti appeared in The Race Begins issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine. When “Palm Springs” was first being promoted way back at last year’s Sundance, it was often referred to as just a romantic comedy, while the film’s “Groundhog Day” style infinite time loop premise was kept under wraps. But in doing press for the film, Cristin Milioti explained why back then and today, she still balks at calling it just a rom-com. “When I read it, I thought it was an existential comedy, that it was this beautiful allegory for depression and anxiety and the inability to escape yourself, and that’s how moments in one’s life can feel like,” Milioti told TheWrap. “I think it takes on a whole other level of meaning, but I think it’s stuff we all struggled with as humans.” Being stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed her to further reflect on film’s depth and complexity. From first reading the script, she was drawn to the way in which the film grappled with how we all feel trapped in our own never-ending routines. “Obviously we had no idea how prescient it would be, but I think that something in this pandemic, not only have we had to be in the same room, the same house, the same apartment or whatever, but there’s no escaping from stuff anymore,” she said. “You kinda have to sit with yourself. It’s not only the repetition of I’m in the same space, but it’s also the like, ‘Oh I have to think about all this stuff but maybe I thought about it and then I could go out with some friends for dinner and let some air out.'” Also Read: 'Palm Springs' Editor Details the Alternate Beginning You Didn't See As an unwitting wedding guest who gets further dragged into cost Andy Samberg’s own infinite time loop, Milioti’s performance was singled out by many critics for how she managed to convey a full range of messy human emotions and growth in 90 hilarious minutes. Milioti says that range was present in the script by Andy Siara, and the final product was lucky to come out exactly as she had imagined it on the page. “It’s very rare that you read something that it makes you feel a certain way or you fall in love with the tone of it and that’s how it turns out. It’s so hard to make something and so hard to make something just right,” Milioti explained. “I remember reading it and being like, I get to do all of this? This is amazing. The challenge was I was afraid I was going to mess it up.” Also Read: How French Band Phoenix Found a 'Happy Accident' With Original Song for 'On the Rocks' Though “Palm Springs” is manic and silly – a given for a Lonely Island film – Milioti grounds her character’s self-loathing and sense of shame. It was important to Milioti that even if you knew her character would be stuck in infinity, her character’s backstory would still resonate as an authentic existential crisis. “The time loop itself becomes superfluous after a while, because she’s someone who’s dealing with so much shame, she’s her own time loop. She wakes up every day and hates herself anyway, which is what I love about the movie,” she said. “If you ask me to be a cartoon, it’s my dream. But I wanted to make sure that you really felt this person. That it wasn’t, ‘and now we’re like zany,’ that you understood that this is someone who can’t be alone with themselves.” Cristin Milioti says “Palm Springs” was shot in a matter of 21 days, and though the film reuses many of the same locations due to its premise, it includes countless action sequences and gigantic set pieces that are unusual for an indie, romantic comedy. She recalls nailing a take and then literally running down a dirt road to get set up for the next scene, a madcap energy that made its way into the film. Also Read: Andy Samberg to Star in Untitled Sci-Fi Comedy at Apple, Ben Stiller to Produce Milioti means that quite literally when it comes to a goofy dance sequence that is one of the standout moments in “Palm Springs.” Because they had such limited time, Milioti and Samberg would often rehearse the choreography on the side of the road whenever the two had a moment of downtime. One of those times though, the camera was still rolling, and a shot of them practicing made it into a montage in the final cut. “It was an immediate ice breaker because we both look so stupid,” she said. “Like we’re both movers, we can both move, but we’re by no means dancers.” Read more from The Race Begins magazine here.
