7xm bet On November 30, 2024, Syrian regime artillery forces fired multiple shells at Frayka village and Jisr al-Shoghour city in western rural Idlib governorate. The attack killed one man, identified as Ahmad Yasser al-Ali, and destroyed a house in Frayka village, while three men were injured and several houses were destroyed in Jisr al-Shoghour city. The area targeted is under the control of armed opposition factions and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that through this attack, Syrian regime forces have again unequivocally violated UN Security Council resolutions 2139 & 2254, both of which categorically prohibit indiscriminate attacks, as well as violating the rules of international humanitarian law on distinguishing between civilians and members. Such attacks aim solely to spread fear and panic among civilians, to drive them from their lands and homes, and to forcibly displace them. An estimated 6.5 million people are currently internally displaced in Syria. The international community must put pressure on the Syrian regime and its allies to support a process of political transition. Pressure should be applied on all parties to compel them to launch such a transition within a period of no more than six months, so that millions of displaced people can be ensured a safe and stable return to their homes.New Delhi: Almost a year after LG V K Saxena recommended a CBI investigation against Delhi govt hospitals and mohalla clinics for allegedly procuring "spurious" and "substandard" medicines, an internal investigation committee of Directorate General Health Services (DGHS) has cleared all the agencies involved, including Delhi govt and the suppliers, of any wrongdoing. DGHS Dr Vandana Bagga has concurred with the findings which are supported by the official report of the drug control department of Delhi govt along with legal opinion. The report states that "there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by any officers of DGHS, govt of NCT Delhi, including Central Procurement Agency (CPA) as well as vendor firms, by virtue of the supply of the spurious drugs or/and adulterated drugs or/and misbranded drugs as defined under provisions of Drugs and Cosmetic Act 1940." Subsequently, Dr Bagga confirmed her acceptance of the inquiry committee's recommendations and concurred with the closure report which was submitted on Oct 10. In response to correspondence from the deputy secretary (vigilance) of the health and family welfare department, dated Sept 19, 2024, regarding an anonymous complaint filed with the CBI (anti-corruption branch, Delhi), DGHS constituted an internal inquiry committee under Dr Nalini Bala Pandey. During July 24-26, 2023, officials from the vigilance and drug control departments had inspected several govt hospitals across Delhi. The inspection teams collected 43 drug samples, which included Amlodipine, Sodium Valproate, Levetiracetam, Pantoprazole, Cephalexin and Dexamethasone. After testing at govt and private laboratories, these six medications were found to be "not of standard quality". The internal panel said in its findings that "not of standard quality" is not a criminal offence under the provisions of Drugs and Cosmetic Act, 1940, as well as the tender's terms and conditions. Furthermore, the panel's documentation indicated that contrary to allegations, none of the companies had been blacklisted by the authorities. The report also confirmed that one supplier had not delivered any pharmaceutical products to CPA during the past decade. According to officials, the medicine shortages experienced at Delhi govt healthcare facilities this year were partly due to controversial orders of a senior bureaucrat, who held charge as additional director in DGHS. One of the orders issued by this official on Jan 31 to all govt hospitals and medical superintendents stated: "It is to intimate that 10 distributors/dealer firms and owners and directors of the firms have been blacklisted by CPA (DGHS, GNCTD) due to their involvement in tender pooling/cartel formation in CPA medicine tender and substandard supplies in GNCTD hospitals and institutions and operating as health mafia. These firms are also found to be behind the supply of substandard medicines, consumables and equipment." The order further stated that "no payment (to be) released till further communication by this office." The DGHS, in her letter to the vigilance department dated Oct 21, stated that DGHS had cancelled and reversed all the blacklisting orders issued by the additional director as his actions were beyond the scope of his authority and were committed without any approval, consent and authorisation by the competent authority i.e DGHS. The letter added that only manufacturers of the drugs participate in CPA's tenders. It pointed out that the directorate of vigilance (DOV) had not levelled any allegations against any manufacturer of the drugs for cartelization. Hence, the DOV's allegation of cartelisation in CPA tenders was frivolous and devoid of any merit, it claimed. The letter also asserted that according to legal opinion, the "supplier firms" against whom DOV has made allegations are merely authorised distributors of the "manufacturer of the drugs" who act as their stock keepers and demand fulfilment agent. "It is submitted that as per legal opinion, the allegation of cartelization can only be established when the ‘supplier firms' participate in the tender," the letter said. Delhi health minister Saurabh Bhardwaj questioned why no action had been taken by the LG against the additional director. "How can dozens of companies be illegally blacklisted? A conspiracy was hatched by the vigilance department, which comes directly under LG, to defame Delhi govt by making false and baseless allegations of fake drugs. Payments to the medicine distributors were illegally stopped for almost a year to create a shortage of medicines in hospitals, dispensaries and mohalla clinics of Delhi govt. People of Delhi were made to suffer. It appears to be a bigger conspiracy to favour certain companies by blacklisting other companies."Zelensky demands response from allies as Putin threatens West with new missile

Larson Financial Group LLC Makes New Investment in SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (NYSEARCA:KRE)Syrian government forces withdraw from central city of Homs as insurgent offensive accelerates BEIRUT (AP) — Insurgents' stunning march across Syria accelerated Saturday with news that they had reached the suburbs of the capital and that government forces had withdrawn from the central city of Homs. Bassem Mroue And Zeina Karam, The Associated Press Dec 7, 2024 1:16 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message Syrian opposition fighters remove a government Syrian flag from an official building in Salamiyah, east of Hama, Syria Syria, Saturday Dec. 7, 2024. (AP Photo/Ghaith Alsayed) BEIRUT (AP) — Insurgents' stunning march across Syria accelerated Saturday with news that they had reached the suburbs of the capital and that government forces had withdrawn from the central city of Homs. The government was forced to deny rumors that President Bashar Assad had fled the country. The loss of Homs is a potentially crippling blow for Assad. It stands at an important intersection between Damascus and Syria’s coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus — the Syrian leader’s base of support and home to a Russian strategic naval base. The pro-government Sham FM reported that government forces took positions outside Syria’s third-largest city, without elaborating. Rami Abdurrahman who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian troops and members of different security agencies have withdrawn from the city, adding that rebels have entered parts of it. The capture of Homs is a major victory for insurgents, who have already seized the cities of Aleppo and Hama , as well as large parts of the south, in a lightning offensive that began Nov. 27. Analysts said Homs falling into rebel hands would be a game-changer. The rebels' moves around Damascus, reported by the monitor and a rebel commander, came after the Syrian army withdrew from much of southern part of the country, leaving more areas, including several provincial capitals, under the control of opposition fighters. The advances in the past week were among the largest in recent years by opposition factions, led by a group that has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the United Nations. In their push to overthrow Assad's government, the insurgents, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, or HTS, have met little resistance from the Syrian army. For the first time in the country's long-running civil war, the government now has control of only three of 14 provincial capitals: Damascus, Latakia and Tartus. The U.N.’s special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, on Saturday called for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition.” Speaking to reporters at the annual Doha Forum in Qatar, he said the situation in Syria was changing by the minute. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, whose country is Assad's chief international backer, said he feels “sorry for the Syrian people.” In Damascus, people rushed to stock up on supplies. Thousands went to Syria's border with Lebanon, trying to leave the country. Many shops in the capital were shuttered, a resident told The Associated Press, and those still open ran out of staples such as sugar. Some were selling items at three times the normal price. “The situation is very strange. We are not used to that,” the resident said, insisting on anonymity, fearing retributions. “People are worried whether there will be a battle (in Damascus) or not.” It was the first time that opposition forces reached the outskirts of Damascus since 2018, when Syrian troops recaptured the area following a yearslong siege. The U.N. said it was moving noncritical staff outside the country as a precaution. Assad's status Syria’s state media denied social media rumors that Assad left the country, saying he is performing his duties in Damascus. He has had little, if any, help from his allies. Russia, is busy with its war in Ukraine . Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which at one point sent thousands of fighters to shore up Assad's forces, has been weakened by a yearlong conflict with Israel. Iran has seen its proxies across the region degraded by regular Israeli airstrikes. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday posted on social media that that the United States should avoid engaging militarily in Syria. Pedersen said a date for talks in Geneva on the implementation a U.N. resolution, adopted in 2015, and calling for a Syrian-led political process, would be announced later. The resolution calls for the establishment of a transitional governing body, followed by the drafting of a new constitution and ending with U.N.-supervised elections. Later Saturday, foreign ministers and senior diplomats from eight key countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt, Turkey and Iran, along with Pederson, gathered on the sidelines of the Doha Summit to discuss the situation in Syria. No details were immediately available. The insurgents' march Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said insurgents were in the Damascus suburbs of Maadamiyah, Jaramana and Daraya. Opposition fighters were marching toward the Damascus suburb of Harasta, he added. A commander with the insurgents, Hassan Abdul-Ghani, posted on the Telegram messaging app that opposition forces had begun the “final stage” of their offensive by encircling Damascus. HTS controls much of northwest Syria and in 2017 set up a “salvation government” to run day-to-day affairs in the region. In recent years, HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani has sought to remake the group’s image, cutting ties with al-Qaida, ditching hard-line officials and vowing to embrace pluralism and religious tolerance. The shock offensive began Nov. 27, during which gunmen captured the northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest, and the central city of Hama , the country’s fourth largest city. Opposition activists said Saturday that a day earlier, insurgents entered Palmyra, which is home to invaluable archaeological sites had been in government hands since being taken from the Islamic State group in 2017. To the south, Syrian troops left much of the province of Quneitra including the main Baath City, activists said. Syrian Observatory said government troops have withdrawn from much of the two southern provinces. The Syrian army said in a statement that it carried out redeployment and repositioning in Sweida and Daraa after its checkpoints came under attack by “terrorists." The army said it was setting up a “strong and coherent defensive and security belt in the area,” apparently to defend Damascus from the south. The Syrian government has referred to opposition gunmen as terrorists since conflict broke out in March 2011. Diplomacy in Doha The foreign ministers of Iran, Russia and Turkey, meeting in Qatar, called for an end to the hostilities. Turkey is a main backer of the rebels. Qatar's top diplomat, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, criticized Assad for failing to take advantage of the lull in fighting in recent years to address the country’s underlying problems. “Assad didn’t seize this opportunity to start engaging and restoring his relationship with his people,” he said. Sheikh Mohammed said he was surprised by how quickly the rebels have advanced and said there is a real threat to Syria’s “territorial integrity.” He said the war could “damage and destroy what is left if there is no sense of urgency” to start a political process. ____ Karam reported from London.

President Emmanuel Macron hosted three-way talks with Zelensky and Trump at the Elysee Palace, discussing what the incoming American president had termed a world that was a "little crazy". Hours after their meeting, the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden announced a new $988 million military assistance package for Ukraine. The package features drones, ammunition for precision HIMARS rocket launchers, and equipment and spare parts for artillery systems, tanks and armoured vehicles, the Pentagon said in a statement. Zelensky's meeting with Trump just before the three men headed to Notre Dame for the re-opening ceremony of the great Paris cathedral was his first face-to-face encounter with tycoon-turned-politician since his election victory. The meeting was of huge importance to Zelensky, given fears in Kyiv that Trump, who once boasted he could end Russia's war on Ukraine in 24 hours, may urge Ukraine to make concessions to Moscow. It also offered a unique chance for Macron to gain insights into how a second Trump presidency will look when he takes office in January. The trip to Paris is Trump's first international visit since his November 5 election win. "We all want peace. But it is very important for us... that the peace is just for all of us and that Russia, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin or any other aggressor has no possibility of ever returning," Zelensky said according to the presidential website. "And this is the most important thing -- a just peace and security guarantees, strong security guarantees for Ukraine," he added. Trump has scoffed at the billions of dollars in US military assistance to Ukraine and has spoken of forcing a quick settlement. But Zelensky also thanked Trump for his "unwavering resolve" describing the talks as "good and productive". Trump and Macron embraced and shook hands several times on the steps of the French presidential palace, with Trump given a full guard of honour despite not yet being in office.

"It seems like the world is going a little crazy right now and we will be talking about that," Trump told reporters as he prepared to sit down for the talks with Macron. Despite tensions between the two men during his first term, Trump hailed his ties with the centrist French leader, saying: "We had a great relationship as everyone knows. We accomplished a lot." Macron told Trump it was "a great honour for French people to welcome you" for the re-opening ceremony at Notre Dame, which was devastated by a blaze in 2019 during Trump's first term. "You were president at that time and I remember the solidarity and the immediate reaction," Macron added, speaking in English. When he first took office in 2017, Trump's ties with Macron -- then also a fresh face on the world stage -- began warmly despite their obvious political differences. Their long and muscular handshakes -- which saw each man seek to assert his superiority -- became a light-hearted focus of attention before ties cooled, then soured, following disputes about climate change, trade and defence. Trump earlier wrote on his Truth Social platform that the United States should "not get involved" in the situation in Syria, where fast-moving rebel forces say they have begun to encircle the capital Damascus. The Republican's return to power has rung alarms in Paris and many European capitals after his promises on the campaign trail to force an end to fighting in Ukraine and levy tariffs on trading partners. In his own reaction to the discussions, Macron wrote on social media: "Let us continue our joint efforts for peace and security." European allies have largely enjoyed a close working relationship with Biden on the crisis in the Middle East, but Trump is likely to distance himself and ally the United States even more closely with Israel. In a sign of the importance of Trump's one-day trip to Paris, he was accompanied by his pick for White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, as well as his Near East and Middle East advisors, Steve Witkoff and Massad Boulos, according to a guest list issued by the Elysee Palace. Tesla tycoon and Trump advisor Elon Musk, who was also on the line during a phone call between the incoming president and Zelensky last month, also flew into the French capital was present at the Notre Dame ceremony. sjw/adp/jj

He met his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and US President-elect Donald Trump at the sidelines of the event, which was also attended by other world leaders including Prince William and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. Notre Dame reopened its doors for the first time since a fire in 2019 nearly destroyed Paris’ 12th-century cathedral. More than 2500 guests celebrated the restoration of the landmark.

"Zelensky, wear a suit. Being a country at war doesn't obligate you to a wardrobe of t-shirts for the rest of your life. Come one, man," another one tweeted.

The documentary covers a $4.5 billion crypto heist A couple who stole millions of dollars in cryptocurrency are the subject of a new Netflix documentary, Biggest Heist Ever . The film covers the theft of $72 million worth of bitcoin from a virtual cryptocurrency exchange in 2016, which had a damaging effect on the entire crypto ecosystem. Over the next five years following the incident, the amount stolen grew in value to $4.5 billion. READ MORE: The 20 best films of 2024 Beyond the crime itself, Biggest Heist Ever mostly dives into the married couple responsible. Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan were nicknamed Bitcoin Bonnie and Clyde, and chased fame as well as fortune through the latter’s online rap persona Razzlekhan. Biggest Heist Ever was released on Netflix on December 6, 2024. What happened to Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan? Heather Morgan is also an influencer CREDIT: Olivier Douliery/ AFP As documented in the film, Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan were both arrested in February 2022. Lichtenstein, who has been in prison since his arrest, was sentenced to five years in prison on November 15, 2024 after pleading guilty to hacking Bitfinex’s network and conspiracy to commit money laundering. At the time of his sentencing, Lichtenstein said: “I want to take full responsibility for my actions and make amends any way I can.” Morgan, who wasn’t involved in the actual hack but pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Is there more to the story? As shown at the end of the documentary, Lichtenstein sent a statement to the film’s director Chris Smith in May 2022, suggesting there is another dynamic at play. “Chris, thank you for your kind note,” the statement read. “As you mentioned, I am unable to discuss the case at this time. I look forward to sharing my perspective when the time is right. As your instincts probably tell you, there is more to this story than meets the eye. Best of luck with your film.” Following her sentencing, Morgan, who declined to appear in Biggest Heist Ever , declared she would “soon be telling my story” across her social media channels. In a video on TikTok , she said: “It’s over, and I’m very excited that I will soon be telling my story, sharing my thoughts, and telling you more about the creative and other endeavours I’ve been working.” Related Topics Netflix

Trump threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if they don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. A person familiar with the details called it a "positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.” The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine, NATO, China and pipelines, as well as the the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year. Although Trump once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest” during his first term, ties between the two countries have remained among the closest in the world. Trudeau is the first leader from the G7 countries to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. Joining Trump and Trudeau at dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump's nominee for commerce secretary, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Trump's pick to lead the Interior Department, Mike Waltz, Trump's choice to be his national security adviser, and the three men's wives. Also at the dinner were David McCormick, just elected U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, and his wife, Dina Powell, a former deputy national security adviser under Trump, as well as Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, and Katie Telford, Trudeau's chief of staff. McCormick posted a photo on X of the group seated at a round table on the patio of Mar-a-Lago. At the table behind the president-elect a boy can be seen mugging for the camera. Trump’s transition did not respond to questions about what they had discussed or whether the conversation alleviated Trump’s concerns about the border. A smiling Trudeau declined comment upon returning to his West Palm Beach hotel late Friday. Trudeau said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday after speaking with Trump that she is confident a tariff war with the United States will be averted. “We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns,” Trudeau told reporters in Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “But ultimately it is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians.” Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he's talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his initial term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully re-negotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. “We can work together as we did previously,” Trudeau said. Trump made the tariff threat Monday while railing against an influx of illegal migrants, even though the numbers at the Canadian border pale in comparison to the southern border. The U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone — and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian one between October 2023 and September 2024. Trump also railed about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border are few in comparison to the Mexican border. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are ready to make new investments in border security. Trudeau called Trump after he made his social media posts on the border. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the U.S. should Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products, a senior official told The Associated Press this week. A government official said Canada is preparing for every eventuality and has started thinking about what items to target with tariffs in retaliation. The official stressed no decision has been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. Canada is one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world, and 77% of Canada’s exports go to the U.S. “Canada has reason to fear because Trump is impulsive, often influenced by the last thing he sees on Fox News,” said Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto. “He can leverage that by catering to what he thinks will sound and look good to the public rather than to what happens or will happen.” ___ Gillies reported from Toronto. ___ This story has been corrected to reflect that the U.S. election was Nov. 5, not Nov. 4.
