The recent December Political Bureau meeting in China has sparked optimism among investors and market participants as policy announcements have exceeded expectations. Brokerage firms across the country have been busy analyzing the implications of the meeting and providing insights on how the new policies will impact the market.

Britain, Germany, France, Italy and several other European countries said Monday they would freeze all pending asylum requests from Syrians, a day after the ouster of president Bashar al-Assad. While Berlin and other governments said they were watching the fast-moving developments in the war-ravaged nation, Austria signalled it would soon deport refugees back to Syria. Far-right politicians elsewhere made similar demands, including in Germany -- home to Europe's largest Syrian community -- at a time when immigration has become a hot-button issue across the continent. Alice Weidel, of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany, reacted with disdain to Sunday's mass rallies by jubilant Syrians celebrating Assad's downfall. "Anyone in Germany who celebrates 'free Syria' evidently no longer has any reason to flee," she wrote on X. "They should return to Syria immediately." World leaders and Syrians abroad watched in disbelief at the weekend as Islamist-led rebels swept into Damascus, ending Assad's brutal rule while also sparking new uncertainty. A German foreign ministry spokesman pointed out that "the fact that the Assad regime has been ended is unfortunately no guarantee of peaceful developments" in the future. Germany has taken in almost one million Syrians, with most arriving in 2015-16 under ex-chancellor Angela Merkel. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said many Syrian refugees "now finally have hope of returning to their Syrian homeland" but cautioned that "the situation in Syria is currently very unclear". The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees had imposed a freeze on decisions for ongoing asylum procedures "until the situation is clearer". She added that "concrete possibilities of return cannot yet be predicted and it would be unprofessional to speculate in such a volatile situation". Rights group Amnesty International slammed Germany's freeze on asylum decisions, stressing that for now "the human rights situation in the country is completely unclear". The head of the UN refugee agency also cautioned that "patience and vigilance" were needed on the issue of refugee returns. In Austria, where about 100,000 Syrians live, conservative Chancellor Karl Nehammer instructed the interior ministry "to suspend all ongoing Syrian asylum applications and to review all asylum grants". Interior Minister Gerhard Karner added he had "instructed the ministry to prepare an orderly repatriation and deportation programme to Syria". "The political situation in Syria has changed fundamentally and, above all, rapidly in recent days," the ministry said, adding it is "currently monitoring and analysing the new situation". The French interior ministry said it too would put asylum requests from Syrians on hold, with authorities in Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway announcing similar moves. Britain's interior ministry said it was taking the same measure "whilst we assess the current situation". The Italian government said late Monday after a cabinet meeting that it too was suspending asylum request "in line with other European partners." The leader of the far-right Sweden Democrats, a coalition partner in the government, said residence permits for Syrian refugees should now be "reviewed". "Destructive Islamist forces are behind the change of power" in Syria, wrote their leader Jimmie Akesson on X. "I see that groups are happy about this development here in Sweden. You should see it as a good opportunity to go home." In Greece, a government spokesman voiced hope that Assad's fall will eventually allow "the safe return of Syrian refugees" to their country, but without announcing concrete measures. In Germany, the debate gained momentum as the country heads towards February elections. Achim Brotel, president of a grouping of German communes, called for border controls to stop fleeing Assad loyalists reaching Germany. The centre-right opposition CDU suggested that rejected Syrian asylum-seekers should now lose so-called subsidiary protection. "If the reason for protection no longer applies, then refugees will have to return to their home country," CDU legislator Thorsten Frei told Welt TV. CDU MP Jens Spahn suggested that Berlin charter flights to Syria and offer 1,000 euros ($1,057) to "anyone who wants to return". A member of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats criticised the debate as "populist and irresponsible". Greens party deputy Anton Hofreiter also said "it is completely unclear what will happen next in Syria" and deportation talk was "completely out of place". Many Syrians in Germany have watched the events in their home country with great joy but prefer to wait and see before deciding whether to return. "We want to go back to Syria," said Mahmoud Zaml, 25, who works in an Arabic pastry shop in Berlin, adding that he hopes to help "rebuild" his country. "But we have to wait a bit now," he told AFP. "We have to see what happens and if it is really 100 percent safe, then we will go back to Syria." burs-fz/rlp/phz/gv/givRevival Gold (CVE:RVG) Shares Down 1.7% – Here’s Why

The next four years are going to be especially tough for MSNBC’s Joy Reid. The always angry host of “The ReidOut” has spent the last four years ranting about Donald Trump and the danger he poses to democracy – and he wasn’t even in power. She’s already politically insane. She regularly calls Trump a gangster and a Putin puppet. I can’t imagine how she’ll deal with the next four years as Trump and his salvage team try to get America on the road to being great again. Reid is so blinded by Trump hate that she – like so many humorless Democrats and her soulmates in the liberal media – has lost her ability to laugh or even recognize a joke. She proved it for the hundredth time this week when she heard what Trump reportedly said to Pierre Trudeau during a dinner discussion at Mar-a-Lago. Trump apparently said if Canada’s economy could not survive sweeping new tariffs on its exports to the United States, “We’ll just annex you and make you part of the USA. You can be governor of Canada, our 51st state.” Reid acted like the joke was a declaration of war by a dictator she claimed wants to rule the entire Free World. Reid’s joyless worldview is an example of why her network and CNN were two of the biggest losers in last month’s presidential election. Harris lost. Biden lost. The Democrat Party lost. But MSNBC and CNN, which had attacked Trump relentlessly and endorsed Biden and then Harris fervently, were almost put out of business as competitive sources of liberal news and opinion. Once Trump officially won, their disappointed and misled viewers left by the hundreds of thousands and both experienced double-digit drops in their ratings. ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” may not have the greatest political minds at its table, but the election and its aftermath boosted its ratings to 4.4 million viewers on Nov. 6. It was like a funeral with most everyone despondent, dressed in black and looking suicidal. Sunny Hostin spoke for all the sad ladies and tens of millions of shell-shocked Democrats when she said, “I’m profoundly disturbed.” Fox News, meanwhile, was almost as much of a winner as Trump. It saw its ratings soar during the election because it covered Trump’s every speech and its personalities enthusiastically backed him. But I don’t think that carrying the flag for Trump was the only reason Fox’s ratings stayed so high. Unlike CNN and MSNBC, which are miserable and hateful places most of the time, Fox is a happy place – a fun place. It’s where the hosts and guests are usually found laughing and smiling, even when the subject is partisan politics. Fox News fans can see fun being had everyday on “The Five” at 5 p.m. Whether it’s Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, Judge Jeanine Pirro or the token liberal Democrat of the day, Jessica Tarlov or Harold Ford, viewers see happy humans who like each other. “The Five’s” people have good senses of humor and clearly enjoy their jobs – and viewers can tell. Somehow I can’t imagine Whoopie Goldberg and the other bitter ladies on “The View” or Joy Reid looking forward to doing their show every day. So what are the angry stars on CNN and MSNBC going to do now, now that Trump is back in power? They’re probably only going to become crazier and angrier because they don’t know how to laugh or have fun. They didn’t know how to laugh when Trump was handing out French fries at a take-out window at McDonald’s. Or when he dressed up like a trashman and rode in a garbage truck. That was very funny to us Republicans and to most normal people. But the angry faces on CNN and MSNBC couldn’t crack a smile.

With the winter session ending on Dec 20, the notice submitted on Tuesday may not cover the required number of days. Opposition sources said they plan to submit a fresh notice in the next session. It is learnt that 10 days ago, TMC first came up with the suggestion of a no-confidence move against the VP. "However, with Congress caught up with the Adani issue, it was conveyed to Sonia Gandhi , who spoke to Congress president and leader of opposition in RS Mallikarjun Kharge, encouraging him to join the move," a source told TOI. It was decided that Kharge, Sonia and floor leaders of opposition parties would not be among the signatories to the notice, sources said. Since their first step during the monsoon session, opposition parties had gathered what they called "evidence" by compiling videos, articles and other documents, to prove their accusation of bias against the VP. In fact, a video clip also showed Dhankhar picking on BJP's Piyush Goyal. The opposition has been upset with Dhankhar over multiple issues, the latest trigger being him allowing BJP members to raise allegations of links between Congress representatives and controversial billionaire George Soro, who, the saffron party claims, are involved in "anti-India activities". The opposition said his conduct in the House on Dec 9, 2024, was "particularly one-sided and totally unfair", and that he was "encouraging and provoking" the treasury benches to make outrageous remarks. The motion submitted by the opposition MPs said it was "unbecoming of high-level constitutional authorities that are expected to act in accordance with and in furtherance of the principles enshrined in the Constitution of India". The motion said Dhankhar's term as RS chairman was "rife with instances" where he has "acted in a manner that is explicitly partisan and unfair towards members belonging to the opposition". They accused him of repeatedly making disparaging comments about opposition members, criticising actions where their MPs have expressed their views on issues concerning functioning of govt.They mentioned an instance from July where Dhankhar, while presiding over the House, labelled himself as the "Eklavya of RSS". It said Dhankhar has repeatedly denied "legitimate requests" of the leader of opposition in RS to intervene and rebut the PM and the leader of the House. They also alleged he was being an "impassioned spokesperson of govt's policies in public forums across the country". Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

One artificial intelligence (AI) stock that has received a lot of buzz is SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) . While the reasons for the hype are numerous, they don't overshadow the fact that SoundHound AI is growing rapidly with a bullish outlook in 2025. Are You Missing The Morning Scoop? Breakfast News delivers it all in a quick, Foolish, and free daily newsletter. Sign Up For Free » As a result, the stock could continue to record serious gains, and investors may want to keep this stock on their radar heading into 2025. SoundHound is improving voice recognition in multiple industries SoundHound AI does pretty much what its name suggests: It incorporates AI with audio recognition. Integrating AI models with voice prompts has long been done; just take a look at the various car, home, or phone assistants. However, the recognition of voice inputs has always been OK at best, and the response quality also varied. The company's platform delivers strong advancements in this technology, and it has already seen widespread adoption in some fields. One area it has seen success in is restaurant order automation. Whether it's over the phone or in a drive-thru, SoundHound has a product that can outperform humans in terms of speed and accuracy. Another area SoundHound has seen growth is the automobile market. Specifically, through its partnership with Stellantis , SoundHound has rolled out generative AI-powered chatbots that are far more capable than the run-of-the-mill vehicle assistants most vehicles were previously equipped with. This technology hasn't made it to the U.S. yet, but it has been integrated into newer Stellantis vehicles in Europe and Japan. There are countless more uses for SoundHound's technology, and the opportunities form the foundation of an attractive investment. 2025 is set to be an amazing year In the third quarter, SoundHound's revenue rose an impressive 89% year over year to $25.1 million. A year ago, 90% of revenue came from the automotive industry, but in the latest quarter, the largest sector was only 25% as restaurants, financial services, insurance, and healthcare have all increased their share. SoundHound isn't profitable as it's still in the early stages of growth. Still, investors should know its operating loss was $33.8 million for the quarter, meaning expenses more than doubled what the company generated in revenue. That said, unless SoundHound's growth falls off substantially, this loss is not yet a major concern. Fortunately, management is guiding for full-year 2024 revenue of $82 million to $85 million, up more than 75% from the previous year. And in 2025, management expects revenue to land between $155 million and $175 million, thanks in part to its acquisition of Amelia, an enterprise voice AI company. As a cherry on top, management expects to deliver positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by the end of 2025. I have little doubt the stock will soar if management can deliver on that bullish guidance. Because SoundHound AI is unprofitable, a popular valuation metric to consider is the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. The stock trades at a pricey 29 times sales. However, that valuation is not completely out of the ordinary, especially for the market's top AI stocks. Palantir , one of the S&P 500 's best performers in 2024, trades at more than 55 times sales while growing revenue at a less impressive pace than SoundHound AI. That said, Palantir is also a much larger and more profitable business. In the end, investors should be aware of the risk that comes with SoundHound's premium valuation. Shareholders' expectations are sky high. Meanwhile, many of its business relationships are rather new and still susceptible to disruption. As a result, investors need to ensure their position sizing is representative of the risk associated with a volatile growth stock. If SoundHound can meet its financial targets, continue to grow its customer base, and further expand into new industries, it has the potential to extend its winning streak. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if SoundHound AI proves to be one of 2025's best-performing stocks . Should you invest $1,000 in SoundHound AI right now?

The 2-8 scoreline will go down in history as a stark reminder of the challenges facing Barcelona and Setien as they look to rebuild and reclaim their status as one of Europe's top clubs.CEO Shooting ‘Person of Interest’ Ripped Insurance Industry in Manifesto: ReportsLucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday alleged the violence in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal district over the survey of a mosque was “orchestrated” by the BJP, the government and the administration “to divert attention from electoral malpractice”. Police used tear gas and “minor force” in the face of stone pelting by locals in Sambhal on Sunday as tension escalated during a second survey of the Mughal-era mosque, claimed to be originally the site of an ancient Hindu temple. Ten people have been detained and a probe was launched into the violence, an official said. Tension has been brewing in Sambhal over the past few days after the Jama Masjid was surveyed last Tuesday on the orders of a local court following a petition that claimed that a Harihar temple stood at the site. A day after the Uttar Pradesh bypoll results were declared and the Samajwadi Party managed to win just two seats while the BJP and its ally RLD bagged the other seven, Yadav levelled serious allegations against the police and administration. “A serious incident occurred in Sambhal. A survey team was deliberately sent in the morning to disrupt discussions about the elections. The intention was to create chaos so that no debate on election issues could happen,” the Samajwadi Party chief claimed. Citing reports, he said several people were injured in the violence in Sambhal and asked when a survey of the mosque was already done, why was a new survey conducted again and “that too in the morning and without preparation?” “I don’t want to go into the legal or procedural aspects, but the other side was not even heard. This was intentionally done to provoke emotions and avoid discussions on election rigging,” Yadav said. “What happened in Sambhal was orchestrated by the BJP, the government and the administration to divert attention from electoral malpractices,” the former UP chief minister alleged. Asserting that in democracy, true victory comes from the people, not the system, he said, “The new democracy created by the BJP ensures that people cannot vote while the system dominates.” He added that whenever an impartial investigation takes place, and the truth comes out through booth recordings and CCTV footage, it will be evident that “voters did not cast their votes and someone else became the voter inside the booth”. Yadav claimed that on the polling day, the police and the administration removed the Samajwadi Party’s almost all booth agents and many supporters who wanted to vote. “If voters were prevented from voting, then who cast the votes? If Samajwadi Party votes didn’t reach those booths and our candidate didn’t get support, then who voted there? This is a serious issue,” he said. “Additionally, there were two types of slips, — one with a red mark and another regular slip. We raised this issue on the voting day itself, stating that the administration had created such arrangements, leading to discrimination,” Yadav alleged. The Samajwadi Party’s candidate for the Kundarki assembly bypoll Haji Rizwan too has alleged that his supporters were prevented from voting. The BJP’s Ramveer Singh won the bypoll in the Kundarki seat by a margin of over 1.45 lakh votes.
