The distribution of consumption vouchers in Shanghai was initially met with enthusiasm as a means to stimulate the local economy, encourage spending, and support businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the emergence of scalpers exploiting this initiative has cast a shadow over the intended benefits.
While some of these are well-known and will be no surprise, such as the Grade I-listed Sankey Viaduct reflecting the area's integral part of railway history, and several pub and church buildings across the borough, others are more obscure. The telephone boxes near St Helens town hall, village stocks in Rainford and parish stocks in Newton-le-Willows are also among those listed. What are Listed Buildings? According to Historic England, listing marks and celebrates a building's special architectural and historic interest, and also brings it under the consideration of the planning system, so that it can be protected for future generations. The older a building is, and the fewer the surviving examples of its kind, the more likely it is to be listed. The general principles are that all buildings built before 1700 which survive in anything like their original condition are likely to be listed, as are most buildings built between 1700 and 1850. Particularly careful selection is required for buildings from the period after 1945. Buildings less than 30 years old are not normally considered to be of special architectural or historic interest because they have yet to stand the test of time. What do the Grades mean? Grade I buildings are of exceptional interest, only 2.5% of listed buildings are Grade I. In the borough of St Helens, the Sankey Viaduct in Newton-le-Willows is the only Grade I listed structure. Also known as the 'Nine Arches', this is the world's first major crossing of its kind, was built by George Stephenson between 1828 and 1830, and is the borough's only Grade I-listed structure. Meanwhile, Grade II* buildings are particularly important buildings of more than special interest; 5.8% of listed buildings are Grade II. Grade II buildings are of special interest; 91.7% of all listed buildings are in this class and it is the most likely grade of listing for a home owner. How does the listing process work? There are two main routes to listing. Anyone... Simon Mulligan

Another final-second victory puts the Chiefs in prime spot to secure AFC's No. 1 seed: AnalysisThe Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has strongly condemned the persistent and devastating military airstrikes that have resulted in the deaths of innocent Nigerians, describing them as calamitous and avoidable tragedies. In a Statement on Friday, signed by Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko National Coordinator, HURIWA, this association called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of military commanders responsible for these operations, asserting that the lack of accountability is perpetuating a culture of impunity within the Nigerian Armed Forces. HURIWA’s statement follows the latest airstrike in Sokoto State on Christmas Day, which reportedly claimed over ten lives in the villages of Gidan Sama and Rumtuwa, Silame Local Government Area. The airstrike, intended to target Lakurawa terrorists operating near the Surame Forest, instead left a trail of civilian casualties and injuries. This tragedy marks the third major erroneous airstrike in 2024 alone, following similar incidents in Zamfara and Kaduna States earlier in the year. The association recalled other tragic airstrikes, including the infamous bombing in Maiduguri during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, which killed over 100 civilians. It also cited the April 2024 attack in Zamfara State, where 40 people, including worshippers observing Eid-el-Fitr prayers, were killed, and the September 2024 incident in Kaduna State, where 23 residents lost their lives in an airstrike that hit a mosque and marketplace. “This is not just incompetence; it is a crime against humanity. The repeated occurrence of such so-called ‘accidental’ bombings is unacceptable. If this were an isolated incident, one might believe it was a genuine mistake. But when it happens repeatedly, we must question whether these are deliberate acts. Someone must be held accountable,” HURIWA stated. The association expressed deep concern over the apparent lack of oversight by Nigeria’s political leadership, accusing them of being either compromised or too intimidated to hold the military accountable. “The military is supposed to be subservient to civilian authority, taking direction from the President as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. However, it appears that the political class, including the National Assembly, is too scared or compromised to provide proper oversight,” HURIWA observed. HURIWA criticized the silence of key national leaders, including the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, on the issue. It called on the National Assembly to fulfill its constitutional duty by investigating these incidents and ensuring those responsible are brought to justice. “The Senate and House of Representatives must wake up to their responsibilities. Their silence in the face of such heinous acts is a betrayal of the Nigerian people. We demand immediate action,” the association declared.The ongoing investigation has unearthed new evidence and testimonies that provide a clearer picture of the events leading up to the incident. Witness accounts and forensic analysis have played a crucial role in piecing together the sequence of events and establishing the chain of responsibility.

Opposition fighters celebrate as they burn down a military court in Damascus, Syria, Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP-Hussein Malla Listen to this article 00:01:12 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a new chapter for Syria can begin that's free of terrorism and suffering for its people. In a social media post on X on Sunday, Trudeau said the fall of the Assad dictatorship "ends decades of brutal oppression." Syrian President Bashar Assad fled the country on Sunday and is now reported to be in Moscow, bringing to a dramatic close his nearly 14-year struggle to hold onto control as his country fragmented in a brutal civil war. The toppling of Assad comes after opposition forces entered the Syrian capital of Damascus, ending half a century of rule by his family. Trudeau said Canada is monitoring the transition closely, and he urged "order, stability, and respect for human rights." Ottawa is urging Canadians to avoid all travel to Syria and to consider leaving the country if it's safe to do so. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre told a news conference on Sunday that Assad "was a puppet for the tyrants of Tehran." "He has carried out genocides against the Sunni people in his own country, and now he appears to have been toppled," Poilievre said in Ottawa. Poilievre said it's unknown who will replace Assad, adding it isn't Canada's fight and that he doesn't believe Canada should get involved. "We should stand with our allies, including Israel, against the terrorists. We should focus on protecting our own country." Ottawa describes the security situation as volatile, and said the Damascus and Aleppo airports as well as some border crossings are closed. An updated travel advisory from the Canadian government warns people to avoid the Middle Eastern country due to what it calls "ongoing armed conflict, terrorism, criminality, arbitrary detention, torture and forced disappearance." Canada has urged its citizens to leave Syria since November 2011, and its embassy in Damascus suspended its operations in 2012.
