3 wives what a life

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau committed to working to address the border and fentanyl smuggling, key issues that have led the incoming U.S. president to threaten massive tariffs. Trump, in a Truth Social post on Saturday, called their dinner Friday night at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida a “very productive meeting” and made no mention of his earlier 25% tariff threat. “I made it very clear that the United States will no longer sit idly by as our citizens become victims to the scourge of this Drug Epidemic, caused mainly by the Drug Cartels, and Fentanyl pouring in from China,” he said. “Prime Minister Trudeau has made a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation of US Families.” The dinner included incoming Commerce Secretary and trade czar Howard Lutnick, incoming Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and incoming national security adviser Michael Waltz. Trudeau’s delegation included Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Chief of Staff Katie Telford. Trump has threatened tariffs on both Canada and Mexico while demanding action on the border. Trudeau, speaking briefly to press as he left his West Palm Beach hotel Saturday, called it “an excellent conversation.” The dinner lasted roughly three hours, with discussion of trade, border security, fentanyl, Ukraine, NATO, Arctic icebreakers, China, pipeline projects and the Middle East, officials with knowledge of the meeting said. They described the meeting as positive. Trump gave no specific indication at the dinner of whether he’d proceed with his tariff plans, one official said. At one point, Trump began choosing a playlist, offering two versions of Leonard Cohen’s "Hallelujah" — a nod to the Canadian delegation — and playing other songs that were common at his rallies. Trump and Trudeau ate steak and mashed potatoes, while other menu options included meatloaf from a recipe by Mary Trump, the president-elect’s late mother. ©2024 Bloomberg L.P. Visit bloomberg.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.Islamist rebel groups, also called opposition forces, have managed to sweep victory into Aleppo city only three days after starting an unexpected operation in the country. This occurred for the first time that the Syrian opposition was able to step on the country’s second-largest city after President Bashar al-Assad’s regime supported by Iran and Russia recaptured it in December 2016. By Friday evening, the forces reached the city’s heart, as seen in videos posted by CNN that show fighters holding the flag of the Syrian opposition in one of the squares of the city, marking the first major challenge to President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, who has ruled the war-torn country since 2000. Subsequently, the rebels mainly operated by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, officially announced that they had taken control of more than 50 towns and villages in large portions of the city and entered the western districts of Aleppo and Idlib provinces in northern Syria while describing the victory as reclaiming their lost ground. The invasion prompted fierce retaliation from al-Assad’s government forces supported by Russian airstrikes. In a statement on Friday the army said the HTS launched attacks using various heavy and medium weapons, including drones provided by its foreign allies, Xinhua news agency reported. “Our armed forces have inflicted heavy losses to the attacking groups, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries among the terrorists,” the statement said, adding, “We have destroyed dozens of vehicles and armoured units and have downed 17 drones.” Britain-based Observatory stated that the fighting was intense in the beginning, and 277 people were killed. The toll included 28 civilians among which many were killed by a Russian air strike. Pertinently, Russia launched airstrikes inside Syrian territory on Friday for the first time after 2016. After a decade Aleppo has made headlines again as it has been the worst battleground throughout the Syrian civil war. Before the conflict, it was estimated that about 2.3 million people lived in this particular region. The city was split in 2012 after rebel forces seized the eastern part of it but by 2016 government forces managed to liberate the region after a devastating war characterised by indiscriminate bombings and starvation tactics. The latest aggression is potentially capable of frustrating this achieved delicate balance and the consequent possibility of resumed urban combat. The offensive is being led by HTS, which began as an al-Qaida affiliate but has now shifted toward a focus on governance and is still considered a terrorist group by the United States and the United Nations. HTS is reportedly backed by the United States and Turkey, operating under the umbrella of the Syrian National Army. However, the United States and the United Nations still consider HTS a terrorist organization, but its leader, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, distanced the group from its extremist roots. These groups have a history of internal conflicts. However, al-Assad is their common enemy whom they describe as a dictator and war criminal for his alleged role in the mass killing of civilians including children by using chemical weapons in the early hours of August 21 2013 in Ghouta. In a video statement announcing the campaign, rebel military commander Lt. Col. Hassan Abdulghany claimed the attack as defensive in an effort to safeguard civilians from airstrike attacks and regain territory. They asserted that their specific objectives are to prevent Syrian government ground as well as air assaults on populated districts and disrupting supply lines essential for Assad’s military operations. “To push back their fire from our people, this operation is not a choice. It is an obligation to defend our people and their land. It has become clear to everyone that the regime militias and their allies, including the Iranian mercenaries, have declared an open war on the Syrian people,” he said, according to the New York Times Of necessity, this operation is not a match to push back their fire from our people. People must be protected and their territory is to be safeguarded. As it was seen by everyone, the regime militias and their allies, including Iranians, launched an open war against the Syrian people,” he said, according to the New York Times . The timing of this operation is crucial as it coincides with ongoing conflicts involving Iranian rebel wings such as Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon and Gaza. These groups are currently engaged in their own battles against Israel which might make it difficult for them to effectively support Assad. Additionally, Turkey’s role—supporting rebel groups on the ground in northwest Syria complicates already fragile conflict. Although Syria has not actively participated in recent conflicts in the Middle East, the country’s territory has been called a battleground by global actors for decades. Israel has regularly conducted attacks in Syria, claiming its targets are Iran-backed factions including the Hezbollah from Lebanon. These kinds of attacks, however, have since then surged after the Hamas-led assault on Israel on October 7, 2023. These attacks have already weakened Asaad’s regime. President Asaad has depended on Russian and Iranian forces to contain the rebels for years yet the civil unrest in the Middle East has also compromised his support. On the other side, the emergence of renewed fighting in Syria has now added severe humanitarian risks. The International Rescue Committee reported that 6674 families have been affected and displaced in recent days by violence. Currently, northwestern Syria hosts millions of internally displaced people who are already living in vulnerable situations. Some of them might find themselves in an even worse situation if the situation deteriorates. The recent increase in violence in Aleppo brings to light that any stability in Syria is transient and this has implications for not only Syria but other countries in the Middle East and will assume a new dimension in Middle East conflicts. Soon after announcing victory in Aleppo and other major districts, rebel forces stormed into Syrian jails and released all of the prisoners in Northwestern Aleppo, most of whom were seen as women and political prisoners of the Assad Regime.

Despite Mary Lou McDonald’s confidence around shaping a coalition without Fine Gael and Fianna Fail – the two parties that have dominated the landscape of Irish politics for a century – the pathway to government for Sinn Fein still appears challenging. With counting following Friday’s election still in the relatively early stages – after an exit poll that showed the main three parties effectively neck-and-neck – there is some way to go before the final picture emerges and the options for government formation crystalise. Taoiseach and Fine Gael leader, Simon Harris, has dismissed talk of a Sinn Fein surge and said he was “cautiously optimistic” about where his party will stand after all the votes are counted. Meanwhile, Ireland’s deputy premier and Fianna Fail leader, Micheal Martin, insisted his party has a “very clear route back to government” as he predicted seat gains. The counting process could last days because of Ireland’s complex system of proportional representation with a single transferable vote (PR-STV), where candidates are ranked by preference. The early indications have turned the focus to the tricky arithmetic of government formation, as the country’s several smaller parties and many independents potentially jockey for a place in government. Ms McDonald told reporters at the RDS count centre in Dublin that she would be “very, very actively pursuing” the potential to form a government with other parties on the left of the political spectrum. The smaller, left-leaning parties in Ireland include the Social Democrats, the Irish Labour Party, the Green Party and People Before Profit-Solidarity. Ms McDonald said her party had delivered an “incredible performance” in the election. “I think it’s fair to say that we have now confirmed that we have broken the political mould here in this state,” she said. “Two party politics is now gone. It’s consigned to the dustbin of history and that, in itself, is very significant.” She added: “I am looking to bring about a government of change, and I’m going to go and look at all formulations. “If you want my bottom line, the idea of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael for another five years, in our strong opinion, is not a good outcome for Irish society. “Obviously, I want to talk to other parties of the left and those that we share very significant policy objectives with. So I’m going to do that first and just hear their mind, hear their thinking. But be very clear, we will be very, very actively pursuing entrance into government.” In Friday night’s exit poll, Sinn Fein was predicted to take 21.1% of first-preference votes, narrowly ahead of outgoing coalition partners Fine Gael and Fianna Fail at 21% and 19.5% respectively. Prior to the election, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael both ruled out entering government with Sinn Fein. Fine Gael leader Mr Harris rejected suggestions Sinn Fein had broken new ground. He told reporters in his count centre in Greystones, Co Wicklow: “Certainly we haven’t seen a Sinn Fein surge or anything like it. “I mean, it looks likely, on the figures that we’ve seen now, fewer people, many fewer people would have voted Sinn Fein in this election than the last one. “In fact, I think they’re down by around 5% and actually the parties, particularly the two parties, the two larger parties in government, are likely to receive significant support from the electorate. So definitely, politics in Ireland has gotten much more fragmented.” He said it was too early to tell what the next government would look like. “I think anybody who makes any suggestion about who is going to be the largest party or the construct of the next government, they’re a braver person than I am,” he said. “Our electoral system dictates that there’ll be many, many transfers that will go on for hours, if not days, before we know the final computations at all. “But what I am very confident about is that my party will have a very significant role to play in the years ahead, and I’m cautiously optimistic and excited.” Fianna Fail’s Mr Martin told reporters at a count centre in Cork he was confident that the numbers exist to form a government with parties that shared his political viewpoint. Mr Martin said it “remains to be seen” whether he would return to the role of Taoiseach – a position he held between 2020 and 2022 – but he expressed confidence his party would outperform the exit poll prediction. “It’s a bit too early yet to call the exact type of government that will be formed or the composition of the next government,” he said. “But I think there are, there will be a sufficiency of seats, it seems to me, that aligns with the core principles that I articulated at the outset of this campaign and throughout the campaign, around the pro-enterprise economy, around a positively pro-European position, a government that will strongly push for home ownership and around parties that are transparently democratic in how they conduct their affairs.” Asked if it would be in a coalition with Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Social Democrats, he said that would be “racing a bit too far ahead”. The final result may dictate that if Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are to return to government, they may need more than one junior partner, or potentially the buy-in of several independent TDs. Mr Martin said it was unclear how quickly a government can be formed, as he predicted his party would gain new seats. “It will be challenging. This is not easy,” he added. The junior partner in the outgoing government – the Green Party – looks set for a bruising set of results. Green leader Roderic O’Gorman is in a fight to hold onto his seat, as are a number of party colleagues, including Media Minister Catherine Martin. “It’s clear the Green Party has not had a good day,” he said. The early counting also suggested potential trouble for Fianna Fail in Wicklow, where the party’s only candidate in the constituency, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, is considered to have a battle ahead, with the risk of losing his seat. Meanwhile, there is significant focus on independent candidate Gerard Hutch who, on Saturday evening, was sitting in fourth place in the four-seat constituency of Dublin Central. Last spring, Mr Hutch was found not guilty by the non-jury Special Criminal Court of the murder of David Byrne, in one of the first deadly attacks of the Hutch-Kinahan gangland feud. Mr Byrne, 33, died after being shot six times at a crowded boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel in February 2016. A Special Criminal Court judge described Mr Hutch, 61, as the patriarchal figurehead of the Hutch criminal organisation and said he had engaged in “serious criminal conduct”. The constituency will be closely watched as other hopefuls wait to see if transfers from eliminated candidates may eventually rule him out of contention. In the constituency of Louth, the much-criticised selection of John McGahon appeared not to have paid off for Fine Gael. The party’s campaign was beset by questioning over footage entering the public domain of the candidate engaged in a fight outside a pub in 2018. The Social Democrats have a strong chance of emerging as the largest of the smaller parties. The party’s leader, Holly Cairns, was already celebrating before a single vote was counted however, having announced the birth of her baby girl on polling day.The symposium also highlighted the need to prioritize environmental sustainability and green development in economic planning. Participants underscored the importance of transitioning towards a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.

As the holiday season kicks into gear, retailers are scaling down their holiday catalogs to pamphlets in response to rising postal rates and evolving consumer habits. With consumers gearing up to do some holiday shopping this year, Lands' End, Duluth Trading Company, and Hammacher Schlemmer are among the many brands opting for smaller, postcard-like formats in a bid to cut postage and paper expenses. The downsizing trend reflects broader shifts in marketing as the once staple of American living rooms, thick catalogs from brands like Sears and J.C. Penney have dwindled and been replaced by compact mailings and digital platforms. Lisa Ayoob, a tech-savvy shopper from Portland, Maine, noted the size difference as she was taken aback by a recent catalog from outdoor apparel company Carbon2Cobalt. "It almost felt like it was a pamphlet compared to a catalog," she told the Associated Press. The shift comes as recent postal hikes have pushed brands to adopt smaller formats. The latest round of postage hikes was in July, with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) increasing the price by 7.8 percent and impacted the category with the 8.5-by-11-inch size that used to be ubiquitous for the catalog industry. Newsweek has reached out to USPS via email for comment on Saturday morning. Paul Miller, executive vice president and managing director of the American Commerce Marketing Association, told the AP that brands are opting to put them in a lower-cost letter category such as one called a "slim jim," which measures 10.5 by 5.5 inches. However, there are other sizes as some retailers have further reduced costs by mailing large postcards to consumers. Angie Rieger, chief transformation officer of Lands' End, told the AP the brand is testing new compact formats to supplement its traditional catalogs, adding that this year, that included folded glossy brochures and postcards. However, iconic brands like L.L. Bean said they are sticking with its classic catalog designs, citing its enduring appeal. "By showcasing our icons, the catalog became an icon itself," L.L. Bean spokesperson Amanda Hannah told the AP. "Even as we invest more in our digital and brand marketing channels, the catalog retains a strong association with our brand, and is therefore an important part of our omni-channel strategy, especially for our loyal customers." L.L. Bean is not the only brand continuing its classic catalogs as J.Crew relaunched its glossy catalog this year. According to Jonathan Zhang, a marketing professor at Colorado State University, the tactile nature of printed catalogs still holds effective even in the digital age. "The reason why these paper formats are so effective is that our human brains haven't evolved as fast as technology and computers over the past 10 to 20 years. We retain more information when we read something on paper. That's why paper books remain relevant," he told the AP. "The psychology shows that three-dimensional, tactile experiences are more memorable." However, this comes as there is a 40 percent drop in catalog mailings between 2006 and 2018, when an estimated 11.5 billion were mailed to homes, according to the trade group formerly known as the American Catalog Mailers Association. Retailers mailed more than 300 million catalogs in November 2021 , according to the USPS, even after postal rates were given a hefty 9 percent boost in August 2021. Officials also said that the total number of catalogs has increased 12 percent over 2020, signaling that the shopping publications might still have a place in an increasingly digital world. Despite the drop these printed pieces remain relevant as strategic tools. Retailers now embed QR codes and promo links, transforming catalogs into gateways for online shopping. Notably, even e-commerce giants like Amazon have entered the game, distributing toy catalogs since 2018. Newsweek has also reached out to Amazon via email for comment. Some companies' catalogs have remained present and steady throughout the years, including those from L.L. Bean, Lands' End and Hammacher Schlemmer. Amazon and Wayfair are among those that have just begun sending out catalogs in recent years, and others that were previously halted, like Sharper Image and J. Peterman, have re-emerged. Meanwhile, for eco-conscious consumers and cost-cutting retailers alike, smaller catalogs might just be the perfect fit for a new era of holiday shopping.

Reader discretion is advised Two Canadians are in police custody in Monterey County, California, after a triple stabbing police say was motivated by a B.C. man's obsession with a woman he played video games with online. Devin Vandorhoef of North Vancouver and his alleged co-conspirator, Darius Whyte, who resides in Angus, Ontario, flew to the area without the victim’s knowledge, according to the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office. Once there, police say Vandorhoef, the online gamer, began to follow the woman, “Stalking her and getting to know what her lifestyle was. That’s what ultimately led him to the house on Bollanbacher Drive,” said Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Andres Rosas. Police claim Vandorhoef showed up at the woman’s home Sunday Nov. 25 just before 10 p.m. and he was in disguise. “Mr. Vandorfhoef posed as a delivery driver. He was carrying a box and knocked on the door to the residence. The door was opened by the victim’s boyfriend and Vanderhoef forced his way in and immediately began stabbing the victim’s boyfriend,” said Rosas. Police say the woman grabbed a sharp piece of metal and began to defend her partner by stabbing Vanderhoef. She was also strangled and stabbed by Vanderhoef, Rosas told CTV News. Neighbours heard cries for help and police say they received multiple 911 calls. Vanderhoef was arrested that night, while Darius Whyte was questioned near the home, police said, but claimed to have no knowledge of the confrontation and was released. Hours later, early on Monday Nov. 26, Whyte was arrested after boarding a plane in San Jose, destined for Canada, according to police. Vanderhoef and the victim’s boyfriend were hospitalized with critical stab wounds, while the woman’s injuries were described by police as moderate. Vanderhoef is facing charges of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit attempted murder, stalking, and burglary. Whyte is charged with conspiracy to commit attempted murder. The violence took place in the Monterey County community of Salinas, an area the county supervisor describes as tight-knit and still trying to make sense of what happened. “It is bizarre. It’s pretty strange. I think the community is just shocked, I don’t think people really know what to think about this,’ said Glenn Church. Church believes the violence in his community also serves as a warning about being careful online. “You just never know who you’re talking to.” Vanderhoef and Whyte were scheduled to make a court appearance Monday afternoon. Global Affairs Canada told CTV News it is aware of the detention of two Canadian citizens in the United States and is providing consular assistance.In a world where traditional educational pathways are being challenged and redefined, the student from Wuhan serves as a reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to success.

Hoda Kotb left her Today co-host Jenna Bush Hager momentarily speechless by recalling an unthinkable exchange from before her time at NBC in which an unnamed boss critiqued her weight. On Monday, December 2, the anchors of Today With Hoda and Jenna discussed how Timothee Chalamet has successfully pivoted to action roles after reportedly losing out on previous jobs because of his body type. “I mean, look, sometimes people will tell you things that you’re not right for,” Kotb said. “I still remember had just started working in a small market,” she continued. “And I played basketball in high school so I always assumed I was in shape even though, literally, after college and stuff I wasn’t.” “I still remember my boss going to me, ‘Hey, Hoda,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah?’ He goes, ‘Hey, I got an idea. Maybe you might wanna try to get on the treadmill,’” Kotb said. The 60-year-old added levity by impersonating her then-boss’s voice and doing a treadmill-running motion. Bush Hager looked shocked and stared directly into the camera, gasping, “No!” Kotb continued, “And I go, ‘What?!’ You know when you have a perception of yourself that is not the perception of the world?” Bush Hager joked, “Yeah, it’s called reverse body dysmorphia. I have it too.” “Yeah, so I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’” Kotb recalled. “But, if you don’t fit, they want you to wear something a certain way, cut your hair a certain way, speak a certain way.” The shocking exchange can be seen around the 5 minute mark of the broadcast shared on YouTube below: Bush Hager related to being told to change oneself, bringing up how she was originally asked to refrain from saying “y’all” on the Today show. She said she dismissed the idea, and that she couldn’t “pretend” to be a “serious news person” and continued saying the slang word. Craig Melvin Named as Hoda Kotb's Replacement on 'Today' “I think you know when you’re pretending deep down and no matter what it is, you start losing who you are,” Kotb concluded, admitting that “sometimes” people have to make small changes to “fit into a work environment.” Kotb made sure not to name names, but since she has worked for NBC for the last 26 years, the unnamed boss may have been from her local news days.
