In the summer of 2015, three Syrian girls who had narrowly survived an airstrike some weeks earlier stood before Tulsi Gabbard with horrific burns all over their bodies. Gabbard, then a US congresswoman on a visit to the Syria-Turkey border as part of her duties for the foreign affairs committee, had a question for them. “How do you know it was Bashar al-Assad or Russia that bombed you, and not Isis?’” she asked, according to Mouaz Moustafa, a Syrian activist who was translating her conversation with the girls. It was a revealing insight into Gabbard’s conspiratorial views of the conflict, and it shocked Moustafa to silence. He knew, as even the young children did, that Isis did not have jets to launch airstrikes. It was such an absurd question that he chose not to translate it because he didn’t want to upset the girls, the eldest of whom was 12. “From that point on, I’m sorry to say I was inaccurate in my translations of anything she said,” Moustafa told . “It was more like: How do I get these girls away from this devil?” Even before Gabbard left the Democratic Party, ingratiated herself with Donald Trump and secured his nomination to become director of National Intelligence, she was known as a prolific peddler of Russian propaganda. In almost every foreign conflict in which Russia had a hand, Gabbard backed Moscow and railed against the US. Her past promotion of Kremlin propaganda has provoked on both sides of the aisle to her nomination. Her journey from anti-war Democrat to Moscow-friendly Maga warrior began in Syria. The devastating conflict was sparked by pro-democracy uprisings in 2011, which were brutally crushed by the Assad regime. It descended into a complex web of factions that drew extremist Islamists from around the world and global powers into the fray. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring group with a network of sources on the ground, . It said at least 162,390 civilians had died in that same time, with the Syrian government and its allies responsible for 139,609 of those deaths. But Gabbard, a veteran of the Iraq War, viewed it all as a “ ” fueled by the West and aimed at removing the dictator from power. She saw Assad – and Russia, when it entered the conflict – as legitimate defenders of the state against an extremist uprising. In 2015, when Russia entered the Syrian war on the side of the dictator Assad, Gabbard expressed support for the move, even as the civilian toll from Moscow’s devastating airstrikes . “Al-Qaeda attacked us on 9/11 and must be defeated. Obama won’t bomb them in Syria. Putin did. #neverforget911,” she wrote on Twitter. It was precisely because of her support for Assad and Russia’s war that Moustafa was keen for her to attend the congressional delegation to southern Turkey to meet the victims of the conflict. “From experience, everyone that we bring over to the border, and they see the victims, they always come back with a realistic view of what’s happening and who is behind the mass displacement and killing and atrocities and so on, and so that was the objective,” he said. “What was shocking was her lack of empathy. She’ll sacrifice the facts, even when it came to little girls in front of her telling her they got bombed by a plane – it didn’t matter.” Charles Lister, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute who testified twice on Syria to the House Foreign Affairs Committee when Gabbard was a member, spent years debunking her various conspiracy theories about the war. “Her consistent denial of the Syrian regime’s crimes is so wildly fringe that her potential appointment as DNI is genuinely alarming,” he told . Lister said her views “appear to be driven by a strange fusion of America First isolationism and a belief in the value of autocratic and secular leaders in confronting extremism.” They included a suggestion that Syrian rebels chemical weapons attack against their supporters to provoke Western intervention against Assad — something the US intelligence agencies she will soon lead had concluded was false. She declined to call Assad a war criminal , despite masses of evidence, and used a video of Syrian government bombings to in the war. “Her descriptions of the crisis in Syria read like they were composed in Assad’s personal office, or in Tehran or Moscow – not Washington,” Lister added. Gabbard was not swayed by meeting the victims of Assad’s airstrikes in 2015. In fact, two years later, she went to Damascus to meet the Syrian president in person and came away even more convinced of her opinions. The congresswoman said her visit to meet Assad – the first by a sitting US lawmaker since the conflict began – was aimed at bringing an end to the war. “I felt it’s important that if we profess to truly care about the Syrian people, about their suffering, then we’ve got to be able to meet with anyone that we need to if there is a possibility that we could achieve peace,” she told CNN at the time. Gabbard was forced to defend her embrace of Assad and other dictators during her 2020 run for the Democratic presidential nomination. During the Democratic primary debate, she clashed with Kamala Harris, who accused her of being “an apologist for an individual – Assad – who has murdered the people of his country like cockroaches.” “She has embraced and been an apologist for him in a way that she refuses to call him a war criminal. I can only take what she says and her opinion so seriously and so I’m prepared to move on,” added Harris, who would subsequently drop out of the race and later be selected as Joe Biden’s running mate. When Russia invaded Ukraine, Gabbard again found herself defending Russian aggression. “This war and suffering could have easily been avoided if Biden Admin/Nato had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns,” she posted on Twitter in 2022. Gabbard appeared to fall for various conspiracy theories about the conflict that were promoted by Russia, as she had done in Syria. One of those conspiracy theories was a Russian claim about the existence of in Ukraine that were supposedly producing deadly pathogens. She later walked back on those remarks, suggesting that there might have been some “miscommunication and misunderstanding.” Gabbard’s frequent echoing of Kremlin talking points has earned her praise in Russian state media. Indeed, an article published on 15 November in the Russian-state controlled outlet RIA Novosti went so far as to Gabbard a “superwoman.” The possibility that Trump would tap someone with Gabbard’s history to be America’s top intelligence official shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who followed the president-elect’s first four years in the White House. During his 2018 summit with President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, the then-president was asked if he believed the US intelligence community’s assessment, which stated that Russia had interfered in the 2016 presidential election on his behalf. That assessment was based on analysis of what was determined to have been state-sponsored campaigns of fake social media posts and ersatz news sites to spread false stories about his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, as well as cyberattacks targeting the Democratic National Committee and prominent operatives associated with the Clinton campaign. But Trump, who’d just spent several hours in a closed-door meeting with Putin, stunned the assembled press and the entire world by declaring that he trusted the Russian leader’s word over that of his own advisers. ​​"President Putin says it’s not Russia. I don’t see any reason why it would be," he replied. Trump would go on to repeatedly clash with his own intelligence appointees during the remainder of his term. He sacked his first DNI, former Indiana senator Dan Coats, after Coats repeatedly declined to back away from the government’s assessment of what Russia had done during the 2016 presidential race. Larry Pfeiffer, the director of George Mason University’s Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security, said Gabbard’s apparent susceptibility to foreign disinformation and her affinity for strongmen will give pause to American allies with whom the US routinely shares intelligence on common threats. Intelligence services, he explained, are notoriously territorial and tight-lipped on sources and methods – particularly when it comes to so-called human intelligence, or Humint, which refers to information collected by and from spies and sources within hostile governments. Pfeiffer said foreign allies are likely already concerned about how a second Trump administration will handle intelligence, given the president-elect’s record. He also predicted that Gabbard’s confirmation as DNI would cause even more problems among skittish partners. “I think they wouldn’t feel like they’ve got an American confidant that they can deal with on a mature level,” he said. “I can guarantee you that the foreign intelligence services of Europe, including the Brits, are all having little side conversations right now about ... what is this going to mean, and how are we going to operate, and what are we going to do now.” The former US intelligence veteran also said Gabbard’s record of spreading foreign talking points calls into question whether she will be able to carry out the DNI’s important responsibility of briefing the president on threats to the nation. He told : “Somebody like Tulsi Gabbard, you look at her long history of statements that seem to come out of the Kremlin’s notebook, her propensity to be influenced by their viewpoint – [it] raises questions as to whether she has the ability to present the intel community’s perspective as it is, or is she going to be one who’s going to want to discount it, influence it, color and change it, or ignore it and just present her own view? “I think it also raises questions of judgement. You know, here’s an individual who seems very prone to misinformation, prone to conspiracy theory. That should worry anybody who’s worried about America’s national security,” he added. Trump’s selection of the ex-Hawaii congresswoman could be a problem for the senators tasked with confirming her, on several different levels. For one, the position is unique among cabinet agencies in that there are strict requirements for who can serve in the director’s role. The text of the 2004 law which established the ODNI in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks on New York and Washington and the intelligence community’s failures leading up to the US invasion of Iraq, specifically states that any person who serves in the DNI job “shall have extensive national security expertise.” The first person to serve as DNI, John Negroponte, was a widely respected foreign service veteran who had served as US ambassador to Iraq, Mexico, Honduras and the Philippines, as the country’s ambassador to the United Nations, and as a deputy national security adviser during the Reagan administration. The next three people to hold the office were flag-rank military officers with significant intelligence experience. Pfeiffer, a US intelligence veteran of three decades’ standing who once ran the White House Situation Room and served as chief of staff to then-CIA director General Michael Hayden, told that Gabbard’s experience in the House and her military service, while admirable, do not match the standards envisioned by the authors of the 2004 law which established the office. “That’s national security experience ... but she was a freaking military cop ... operating at a largely tactical level, not that strategic, long-term national security perspective that one would expect,” he said. Gabbard may have left the Syrian conflict behind, but Moustafa still works with its victims every day. And he believes the connection between her views on Syria and Ukraine is clear. “What happened in Syria is what allowed the Russians to feel that they could do the very same in Ukraine,” he said. “And what she is doing with Ukraine shows that it goes beyond her maybe misunderstanding one conflict. She is, hook, line and sinker, a Russian puppet.”jili super ace hack 。

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball switched a pair of series involving the Tampa Bay Rays to the first two months of the season in an attempt to avoid summer rain at open-air Steinbrenner Field, their temporary home following damage to Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay is scheduled to play 19 of its first 22 games at home and 37 of 54 through May 28, then play 64 of its last 108 games on the road. The Rays are home for eight games each in July and August. A series scheduled at the Los Angeles Angels from April 7-9 will instead be played at Tampa, Florida, from April 8-10, MLB said Monday. The second series between the teams will be played at Anaheim, California, from Aug. 4-6 instead of at St. Petersburg, Florida, from Aug. 5-7. Minnesota's first series against the Rays will be played at Steinbrenner Field from May 26-28 and the Twins' second will be at Target Field in Minneapolis from July 4-6. Tampa Bay heads into the All-Star break with a 10-game trip to Minnesota, Detroit and Boston, and has a 12-game trip to the Angels, Seattle, Oakland and San Francisco from Aug. 4-17. Tropicana Field, the Rays’ home since the team started play in 1998, was heavily damaged by Hurricane Milton on Oct. 9 , with most of its fabric roof shredded. The Rays cannot return to the Trop until 2026 at the earliest, if at all. Tampa's average monthly rainfall from 1991 to 2020 was 2.25 inches in April and 2.60 in May , according to the National Weather Service, then rose to 7.37 in June , 7.75 in July and 9.03 in August before falling to 6.09 in September . The Class A Tampa Tarpons, the usual team at Steinbrenner Field, had six home postponements, two cancellations and four suspended games this year from June 21 through their season finale on Sept. 8. The Rays are now scheduled to play their first six games at home against Colorado and Pittsburgh, go to Texas for a three-game series, then return for a 13-game homestand against the Angels, Atlanta, Boston and the New York Yankees. The Tarpons will play their home games on a back field. AP MLB: https://apnews.com/Queens of the deal: These women reached the top of corporate Britain while raising children - so what are the secrets of their success? By ANNE ASHWORTH Updated: 17:26 EST, 11 December 2024 e-mail View comments Takeover mania has the stock market in its grip with two multi-billion pound bids sealed last week alone. Nothing so unusual about that, you might think – except that both were led by women. Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of insurance company Aviva, pursued smaller rival Direct Line, and Margherita Della Valle, the boss of telecoms giant Vodafone, pulled off a merger with Three. The duo follow Debbie Crosbie, at UK’s biggest building society Nationwide, who recently sealed a deal to buy Virgin Money. The City loves a takeover, where one company buys another, often accompanied by clashing egos, huge fees and bitter rows. For decades, bids have been a testosterone-fuelled macho preserve but this year high-flying women are Queens of the Deal. Deal-makers: For decades, takeovers have been a testosterone-fuelled macho preserve but this year it's high-flying women leading the way Crosbie, Blanc and Della Valle have presided over takeover bids collectively worth £20billion. All three are in their fifties and each has combined motherhood with a rise to the top of corporate Britain, where they earn multi-million-pound pay-packets. A major conference – Women, Money & Power – has been held in London this week. Are these Queens of the Deal role models for a new generation. And who are they? Amanda Blanc Job: Aviva chief executive Age: 57 Children: Two daughters Big Deal: £3.6billion takeover of Direct Line Pay: £6.6million Loves: Stilettos Hates: Sexists Bold move: Amanda Blanc, the chief exec of insurance company Aviva, has successfully pursued smaller rival Direct Line Blanc, 57, has been chief executive of the £13billion insurer Aviva since 2020. During that time, the share price has more than doubled – and she was made a Dame in the 2023 New Year’s Honours. Her ability to deliver for shareholders – in stark contrast to the men before her – has generated huge excitement. Her takeover of smaller rival Direct Line for £3.6billion, creating a motor insurance powerhouse, is her boldest yet. Direct Line has been haemorrhaging customers. Blanc’s purposeful pursuit is typical of her resolve and efficiency. When she arrived at Aviva, she rolled up her sleeves, sold overseas operations she considered not to be core to the business, cut costs and is now looking to increase market share. Anyone who has spent any time with Blanc will attest to her steely determination. One commented: ‘Your first thought is that you would not want to be on the wrong side of her.’ Amanda Fisher – Blanc is her married name – comes from Treherbert in the Rhondda Valley in south Wales. Both her grandfathers were miners. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next UK in slow lane to rate cuts: Bank of England's caution is... Sir Clive Cowdery set for bumper windfall on £8.3bn sale of... Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP How to choose the best (and cheapest) stocks and shares Isa and the right DIY investing account Blanc retains her south Wales accent, and its disarming qualities set Blanc apart from her largely posh male counterparts. She is unashamedly fond of structured dresses and coats and adores stiletto heels. And has been open about the sexism she has experienced. Early on at Aviva she came under pressure from activist Cevian to boost returns. In some quarters, this campaign was felt to have an undercurrent of opposition to a woman at the head of a FTSE 100 company. At Aviva’s 2022 annual meeting, sexist shareholders jibed she was ‘not the man for the job’. She also encountered homophobia and misogyny on the board of the Welsh Rugby Union, and resigned. The City loves her. Aviva’s current share price is 489p, but analysts are targeting 540p. If this comes to pass, will Blanc celebrate with another pair of sharp stilettos? Probably. Secrets of her success: Challenge the chauvinists. Work out what you want to achieve and how to do it. Dress for success: Blanc’s outfits embody femininity plus power. Debbie Crosbie Job: Nationwide boss Age: 53 Children: One daughter Big deal: £2.9billion takeover of Virgin Money Pay: £2.4million Loves: Dominic West Hates: Branch closures Banking coup: Debbie Crosbie, the woman in charge of the UK's biggest building society Nationwide, recently sealed a deal to buy Virgin Money Until this summer, Debbie Crosbie, 53, was the boss of Britain’s biggest building society, Nationwide. She is now the most powerful female banker in the country after she masterminded a £2.9billion takeover of Virgin Money. Crosbie, described by one observer as a ‘streetfighter’, is seen by her fans to have pulled off the banking coup of the year. Her aim is to create a mutual financial services business big enough to take on the High Street banks. Because Nationwide has no shareholders, she believes she can channel better interest rates and benefits to members. Born and raised in Glasgow, she is often described as ‘steely,’ ‘no nonsense’ and ‘what you see is what you get’. Would the same comments be made of a male executive with a direct manner? Her contention is that the merger will transform not only Nationwide, but the sector generally, by promoting mutuality. But mergers are by no means guaranteed to succeed. Nationwide has made a £2.3billion gain on the deal, because Virgin Money was under-valued. Now, she is running a much bigger operation following the takeover of Virgin Money, founded by Richard Branson and now the UK’s sixth-largest retail bank. Branson will net about £400million from a deal that is the pinnacle, so far, of Crosbie’s 25-year career. Before joining Nationwide in 2022, she was the boss of TSB. She is not afraid to take on the banking establishment and was behind Nationwide’s series of satirical TV adverts starring Dominic West as an arrogant and complacent manager intent on fleecing customers and aggrandizing himself – annoying rivals. In the year to April, Crosbie was paid £2.41million. She stands to earn £3.42million if her performance is outstanding. She might also spend some of it on shoes, since pictures of this Queen of the Deal show she shares Blanc’s penchant for a stylish heel. Crosbie says she has only ever impressed her daughter when, as acting chief executive of the Clydesdale Bank, she became the first woman to have her signature on a Scottish bank note. If she turns Nationwide and Virgin Money into a modern mutual powerhouse, she might impress her a second time. Secrets of her success: A sense of humour is a big asset – as the ads show, it’s possible to make serious points with a smile. Margherita Della Valle Job: Vodafone chief Age: 59 Children: Two sons Big deal: £16.5billion takeover of Three in the UK Pay: £4.38million Loves: Aubergine parmigiana Hates: Bad customer service Margherita Della Valle is known for grace under pressure. Telecoms takeover: Margherita Della Valle, the boss of Vodafone, pulled off an audacious merger with Three A City figure says: ‘She is a safe pair of hands. She is properly on top of stuff, having been at Vodafone for three decades. ‘There’s no ego in her manner, like some male CEOs I know. ’ Della Valle has just signed off the £16.5billion merger of her company’s UK arm with Three, the mobile operator owned by the Hong Kong’s CK Hutchison. The deal is a milestone in the UK telecoms industry. This married mother of two, whose English still bears the traces of her native Veneto region of Italy is more often to be seen wearing trainers than heels with her well-cut trousers and satin shirts. Among the challenges now facing her are concerns about job losses and higher prices in the wake of the deal. When she took over in April 2023, she declared that ‘everything has to change.’ She has a formidable task to overcome a host of problems at this £22.34billion business. The company has been beset with myriad issues in its international divisions and gaps in its coverage. The takeover of Three represents an opportunity to boost deplorably poor connectivity - Britain is 22 out of 25 European countries for 5G technology. Della Valle’s focus in the integration will be the technology, but with the customer in mind. In future, she will be serving no fewer than 29m of them. In this she will rely on what she perceives to be her superpower - being a woman. As she argues, this means ‘you bring a different perspective’ – particularly pertinent in male-dominated ‘telcos’. She is fanatical about customer service, believing it to be neglected. In her view, excellence in this field is a route to growth. Della Valle’s promotion stabilised the share price but it is 50pc down over five years at 72p. Experts at Goldman Sachs rate the shares a ‘buy’ targeting 100p. Secrets of her success: Master your business. Perseverance pays off. Build knowledge and experience. It may take women longer to climb the ladder than men, but that means they’re better equipped when they do.

AAMI has launched a humorous new campaign capturing the quirks of an Australian Christmas and its day-after chaos via Ogilvy . The When the Festivities are over campaign, is AAMI’s first Christmas campaign and portrays what happens when that Boxing Day food coma feeling clashes with unexpected events. “The exact time when, if something should go wrong, you’d just want your insurance company to sort it out,” Ogilvy Melbourne ECD Hilary Badger said. “It’s of course important for Australia’s leading national insurer to be present at Christmas, which is such a big time of year for our country’s leading brands. But being AAMI, we need a unique point of view during what can be a very crowded season for brands. So, we’ve opted to stand out with a much less saccharine spin on Christmas. “It’s an unexpected time to think about insurance, which makes it disruptive,” Badger added. The campaign is live now nationally across TV, BVOD, SVOD, cinema, OOH (including large format, small format and special build), social and audio and will run until January 20. It builds on the AAMI brand platform developed by Ogilvy and launched at the start of the year, embracing the quirks and challenges of Australia and reinvigorating AAMI’s long-standing tagline ‘Lucky you’re with AAMI’. Starting with the cinematic My Country execution using Dorothea Mackellar’s iconic poem, the platform continued with the much-celebrated Athletes in the Making launched in the lead up to the Olympics. In August, When our game has its moments campaign went live celebrating AAMI’s association with Australia’s national sport, AFL, plus a raft of other activity in other channels. Mim Haysom , Suncorp EGM brand and customer experience, said: “We can all relate to the action unfolding in When the festivities are over, it’s a fitting finish to the year and a timely reminder that no matter the situation, it’s lucky you’re with AAMI.”
