Ousted Syrian leader Assad flees to Moscow after fall of Damascus, Russian state media say DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Russia media say ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad has fled to Moscow and received asylum from his longtime ally. The reports came hours after a stunning rebel advance swept into Damascus to cheers and ended the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule. Thousands of Syrians poured into streets echoing with celebratory gunfire, joyful after a stifling, nearly 14-year civil war. But the swiftly moving events raised questions about the future of the country and the wider region. The rebels face the daunting task of healing bitter divisions in a country still split among armed factions. One rebel commander said “we will not deal with people the way the Assad family did." Analysis: Collapse of Syria's Assad is a blow to Iran's 'Axis of Resistance' MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — For Iran’s theocratic government, it keeps getting worse. Its decadeslong strategy of building an “Axis of Resistance” supporting militant groups and proxies around the region is falling apart. Hamas has been batttered by Israel's campaign in Gaza. In Lebanon, Israeli bombardment has crippled Iran’s most powerful ally, Hezbollah, even as Israel has launched successful airstrikes openly inside of Iran for the first time. And now Iran’s longtime stalwart ally and client in Syria, President Bashar Assad, is gone. Who is Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of the insurgency that toppled Syria's Assad? BEIRUT (AP) — Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the militant leader who led the stunning insurgency that toppled Syria’s President Bashar Assad, has spent years working to remake his public image and that of his fighters. He renounced longtime ties to al-Qaida and depicts himself as a champion of pluralism and tolerance. The extent of that transformation from jihadi extremist to would-be state builder is now put to the test. The 42-year-old al-Golani is labeled a terrorist by the United States. He has not appeared publicly since Damascus fell early Sunday. But he and his insurgent force, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, stand to be a major player in whatever comes next. Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise US prices and won't rule out revenge prosecutions WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump says he can’t guarantee his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won’t raise prices for American consumers. And he's suggesting once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned. The president-elect made the comments in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday. He also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning “things do change.” A timeline of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the search for his killer NEW YORK (AP) — The search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer has stretched into a fifth day — and beyond New York City. Police say it appears the man left the city on a bus soon after Wednesday's shooting outside the New York Hilton Midtown. The suspect is seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Police believe that words found written on ammunition at the shooting scene, including “deny," “defend” and "depose,” suggest a motive driven by anger toward the healthcare company. The words mimic a phrase used by insurance industry critics. Trump calls for immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and says a US withdrawal from NATO is possible WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is pushing Russian leader Vladimir Putin to act to reach an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine. Trump describes it as part of his active efforts as president-elect to end the war despite being weeks from taking office. Trump also said he would be open to reducing military aid to Ukraine and pulling the United States out of NATO. Those are two threats that have alarmed Ukraine, NATO allies and many in the U.S. national security community. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says any deal would have to pave the way to a lasting peace. The Kremlin's spokesman says Moscow is open to talks with Ukraine. Gaza health officials say latest Israeli airstrikes kill at least 14 including children DEIR AL BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian health officials say Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza have killed at least 14 people including children, while the bombing of a hospital in northern Gaza has wounded a half-dozen patients. Israel’s military continues its latest offensive against Hamas militants in northern Gaza, whose remaining Palestinians have been almost completely cut off from the rest of the territory amid a growing humanitarian crisis. One airstrike flattened a residential building in the urban Bureij refugee camp Sunday afternoon. That's according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby city of Deir al-Balah, where the casualties were taken. South Korea's democracy held after a 6-hour power play. What does it say for democracies elsewhere? SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A short-lived martial law decree by South Korea's leader last week raised worries about budding authoritarianism around the world. In the end, though, democracy prevailed. President Yoon Suk Yeol announced that he was declaring martial law and giving his government sweeping powers to crack down on protesters, ban political parties and control the media. Members of the military blocked lawmakers from using the legislature's constitutional power to cancel the power grab. But the National Assembly within hours unanimously voted to do so. The stars will come out at the Kennedy Center for Coppola, the Grateful Dead, Raitt and Sandoval WASHINGTON (AP) — Celebrities, cultural icons and a few surprise guests are gathering for the annual Kennedy Center Honors celebration in Washington. This year’s recipients of the lifetime achievement award for artistic accomplishment are director Francis Ford Coppola, the Grateful Dead, jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, and singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt. In addition, the venerable Harlem theater The Apollo, which has launched generations of Black artists, is being recognized Sunday night. There will be personalized tributes with performances and testimonials from fellow artists during the gala at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. College Football Playoff's first 12-team bracket is set with Oregon No. 1 and SMU in, Alabama out SMU captured the last open spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff, bumping Alabama to land in a bracket that placed undefeated Oregon at No. 1. The selection committee preferred the Mustangs, losers of a heartbreaker in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game, who had a far less difficult schedule than Alabama of the SEC but one fewer loss. The inaugural 12-team bracket marks a new era for college football, though the Alabama-SMU debate made clear there is no perfect formula. The tournament starts Dec. 20-21 with four first-round games. It concludes Jan. 20 with the national title game in Atlanta.The 2025 CES in the United States is about to unveil a brand-new chapter in the future intelligent home gardening LAS VEGAS , Dec. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UBHOME, a sub-brand of UBTECH Robotics, announced an intelligent service robot in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Deshmukh was abducted and tortured to death on 9 December, reportedly after opposing an extortion bid targeting an energy firm installing windmills in Beed district. Four individuals, including local NCP leader Vishnu Chate, have been arrested. Karad, however, remains at large. According to PTI, Vaibhavi Deshmukh, daughter of the deceased sarpanch, demanded justice for her father, stating, “He lost his life while saving a person from the Dalit community.” #Beed मस्साजोगचे सरपंच संतोष देशमुख यांच्या मारेकऱ्यांना कठोर शिक्षा व्हावी, या मागणीसाठी बीडमध्ये सर्वपक्षीय मूकमोर्चा, नागरिकांचा मोठा सहभाग #BeedHatyakand #BeedCrime pic.twitter.com/AfBT17N2Rv Continues below advertisement window.addEventListener("load", function() { let ad_unit_fire_time = 1000; if(ad_delay_time_abp > 0){ ad_unit_fire_time = parseInt(ad_delay_time_abp) + 500; } setTimeout(function () { googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1253031-3"); }); },ad_unit_fire_time) }); — AIR News Mumbai, आकाशवाणी मुंबई (@airnews_mumbai) December 28, 2024 Abhimanyu Pawar, a BJP MLA and former aide of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, expressed discontent with the government’s inaction. “Even if I am part of the ruling dispensation, I want to tell the government that if the accused are not arrested, protests will reach other parts of the state. We want justice for the family of Santosh Deshmukh,” he said, as quoted by PTI. BJP MLA Suresh Dhas alleged electoral malpractices in favour of Munde, claiming he won the assembly election from Parli in Beed district with bogus votes. NCP MLA Prakash Solanke criticised the lack of progress in the investigation, stating, “Some of the accused are still at large even 19 days after the murder, and Walmik Karad too has not been arrested. Until the accused are convicted, Dhananjay Munde should be dropped from the state cabinet to ensure an impartial probe.” Social activist Anjali Damania claimed she received a call suggesting three absconding accused in the case had been murdered.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A team that previously boycotted at least one match against the San Jose State women’s volleyball program will again be faced with the decision whether to play the school, this time in the Mountain West Conference semifinals with a shot at the NCAA Tournament on the line. Five schools forfeited matches in the regular season against San Jose State, which carried a No. 2 seed into the conference tournament in Las Vegas. Among those schools: No. 3 Utah State and No. 6 Boise State, who will face off Wednesday with the winner scheduled to play the Spartans in the semifinals on Friday. Wyoming, Nevada and Southern Utah — which is not a Mountain West member — also canceled regular-season matches, all without explicitly saying why they were forfeiting. Nevada players cited fairness in women’s sports as a reason to boycott their match, while political figures from Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Nevada suggested the cancellations center around protecting women’s sports. In a lawsuit filed against the NCAA, plaintiffs cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State volleyball team, even naming her. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity and through school officials has declined an interview request. A judge on Monday rejected a request made by nine current conference players to block the San Jose State player from competing in the tournament on grounds that she is transgender. That ruling was upheld Tuesday by an appeals court. “The team looks forward to starting Mountain West Conference tournament competition on Friday,” San Jose State said in a statement issued after the appeals court decision. “The university maintains an unwavering commitment to the participation, safety and privacy of all students at San Jose State and ensuring they are able to compete in an inclusive, fair and respectful environment.” Boise State did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. “Utah State is reviewing the court’s order,” Doug Hoffman, Aggies associate athletic director for communications, said in an email. “Right now, our women’s volleyball program is focused on the game this Wednesday, and we’ll be cheering them on.” Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. San Jose State, which had a first-round bye, would be sent directly to the conference title game if Utah State or Boise State were to forfeit again. If the Spartans make the title game, it’s likely the opponent would not forfeit. They would face top-seeded Colorado State, No. 4 Fresno State or No. 5 San Diego State — all teams that played the Spartans this season. The conference champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. ___ AP college sports: https://apnews.com/hub/college-sports Advertisement AdvertisementNobel recipient Geoffrey Hinton wishes he thought of AI safety sooner

Running back Saquon Barkley’s first season with the Eagles has been a massive success and it now occupies a prominent spot in the team’s record book. Barkley set the franchise’s single-season rushing mark when he moved past the 1,607-yard mark on a 9-yard-run in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 22-16 win over the Panthers. LeSean McCoy set that record in 2013, but Barkley needed just 12-plus games to pass him and he finished the day with 1,623 yards. “I think it’s pretty cool , the most important thing was getting a win, and we got the win,” Barkley said, via the team’s website. “Being a fan of Shady growing up and seeing the spectacular things he was able to do with the ball in his hands and to be able to mentioned with him definitely means a lot. Gotta give credit to the guys up front. They’ve made my job a lot easier so far this year. Hopefully, it will continue.” Barkley’s 124-yard day has him on pace to finish with 2,122 rushing yards for the season. That would set a new single-season record for the entire league — Eric Dickerson set the mark in a 16-game season in 1984 — and it will be something for Barkley to shoot for over the final four weeks.GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Highest Performances Holdings Inc.

‘They don’t know’ - Everything Mo Salah’s agent has said amid Liverpool contract situation

BNP Paribas Financial Markets Grows Stock Holdings in Glaukos Co. (NYSE:GKOS)

One of two Omaha men federally indicted for his involvement in a sprawling check fraud scheme pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one count of criminal conspiracy. Malik Washington, 27, and his co-defendant, 21-year-old Calvin Carter, are accused of attempting to deposit at least 60 counterfeit checks totaling more than $291,000 at various Omaha-area banks and credit unions between April 2021 and December 2022. They were initially charged in Douglas County with multiple felonies, but those charges were dismissed after the two were charged in an eight-count federal indictment last summer. Washington pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge Wednesday, and the government agreed to dismiss seven additional counts of bank fraud and possessing counterfeit securities. Carter is scheduled to appear for a change of plea hearing on Thursday. Court documents allege that Washington, Carter and other associates would place advertisements on social media offering thousands of dollars to anyone with a bank account. People who agreed to participate would supply the men with their debit cards, PIN number and online banking information. After members of the conspiracy deposited forged business checks into the accounts, they would remove all of the funds through gift card purchases, ATM withdrawals and electronic transfers before the check could be flagged as fraudulent. According to state and federal court documents, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office began investigating the case in February 2022 after First National Bank of Omaha reported losing approximately $36,000 in two months from a series of similar forged checks. Twelve fraudulent business checks ranging from $3,000 to $7,000 were deposited into seven different FNBOs during the two-month period. They were either deposited at FNBO branches or through the bank’s mobile app. GPS coordinates captured on the banking app led investigators to a northwest Omaha home occupied by Carter, according to court documents. When a search warrant was executed on the home in February 2022, deputies found hundreds of pages of blank check stock, a safe monitored by a security camera, a shredder with a bin full of shredded checks and receipts for thousands of dollars worth of designer clothing and shoes. They also seized Carter’s phone and laptop, which allegedly provided additional evidence of text communications with co-conspirators and check printing software on his computer. Carter was arrested after the execution of the search warrant and was charged with forgery and criminal conspiracy in state court. Carter’s arrest did not mark the end of the investigation. In June 2022, FNBO again contacted the Sheriff’s Office to report an additional loss of more than $82,000 from forged checks that looked identical to those allegedly forged by Carter. Those checks, deposited between March and June 2022, purported to be for payroll from a business called “The Standard.” ATM cameras captured photos of the man who deposited the checks, and deputies identified him as Washington, according to court documents. A search warrant executed at Washington’s home did not locate any check forgery equipment, leading deputies to believe that someone else was supplying Washington with checks and directing him to deposit them. When Washington was arrested in June 2022, he was in possession of six debit cards not belonging to him, according to court documents. Washington will face a wide range of potential penalties when he is sentenced in March. The conspiracy charge that he pleaded guilty to carries up to 30 years in prison with no mandatory minimum, and a maximum fine of $1 million with no minimum. In Washington's plea agreement, the government agreed to recommend that he be sentenced "at the low end of the advisory guideline range." He will also have to pay a to-be-determined amount of restitution, which will be calculated considering "all charged and uncharged criminal conduct" alleged in the initial indictment.
