An Ignoble Experiment: The 7: A dramatic rescue in India; Rosalynn Carter’s memorial service; a moose on the loose; and more

Good morning. It's Wednesday, Nov. 29, and it's a great day to learn how to save money on your heating bill this winter. Now let's catch up.

The latest: It's the sixth day of a pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas, which may be extended to release more hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
U.S. response: The CIA director traveled to Qatar to push for a longer pause and the return of the eight or nine Americans believed to be held in Gaza.
The bigger picture: Palestinian officials say more than 13,300 people have been killed in Gaza, but say that number is incomplete as thousands more remain missing.

Who was there? The former first lady's husband, former president Jimmy Carter, as well as the Bidens, the Clintons and former first ladies Michelle Obama and Melania Trump.
Today: Carter's funeral will take place in Plains, Ga., at the Baptist church where she and her husband of 77 years worshiped and where he taught Sunday school.

The details: The group, led by billionaire Charles Koch, backed the former U.N. ambassador in an effort to stop Donald Trump from becoming the 2024 Republican nominee.
Why it matters: Haley will have more access to the network's influential donors and its organizational heft. But Trump remains far ahead in polls of the Republican race.

What happened? The construction workers were stuck in a collapsed tunnel almost 300 feet underground for 17 days. They survived on supplies sent through narrow pipes.
The latest: Rescuers finally reached all the workers yesterday, using their bare hands and shovels to get through the last yards of rock.

What to know: Life expectancy in 2022 rose more than a full year, to 77.5 years, new CDC data shows. It's mostly because of a drop in covid-19 deaths, but progress remains slow.
Why? Drug overdoses, homicides and chronic illnesses such as heart disease are continuing to drive a mortality crisis in the U.S. compared to similar countries.

How? The Virgin Atlantic test flight from London to New York yesterday ran on waste fats and plant sugars, emitting 70% less carbon than petroleum-based jet fuel, the airline said.
It's a milestone: Sustainable aviation fuel is costly and still produces planet-warming emissions. But the test shows there's a path to making flying more climate-friendly.

Where? The young bull moose has been roaming farmlands in south-central Minnesota, hundreds of miles south of its natural habitat. Moose normally prefer dense forests.
Follow along: Tens of thousands of people in a Facebook group are tracking the moose, nicknamed Rutt, as he finds his way back north.
