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Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian troops and members of different security agencies have withdrawn from the city, adding that rebels have entered parts of it.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.

SHOPKEEPERS in Lincoln have condemned the decision to scrap the Xmas market as shortsighted despite the health and safety concerns. The event's permanent axing follows previous cancellations of the festive market. Many residents who attended the event in recent years say it was overcrowded and the crowds could sometimes be intimidating. But they argue that all the event needed to make it a UK wide attraction was re-organising it over a great number of days and expanding the site. It is understood hotel bookings have been hard hit as well as the profits of family owned niche businesses that have put the very character into the Lincoln shopping experience. Fudge shop worker Erin Dauber, 23, said: “I went to the last ever Xmas market and it was terrible. We were pinned into the castle. “It was like being at a concert with everyone pushing to the front. We could not breathe and there were kids screaming and crying. “It was extremely uncomfortable. But that being said, the market did bring in a lot of money and it now a lot tougher for local businesses to get through January without it. “It should have been spread over a couple of weeks, not three days. Lincoln is a tourist city and that way it would bring in even more tourists. “People come from all over the world for the Xmas market.” Staff the Lincoln Original Pie Shop reckoned that the city was so steeped in history and the town such a loved place to shop that it could survive without the market. The shop itself has a long history including where Lawrence of Arabia TE Lawrence wrote the Seven Pillars of Wisdom when it was a boarding house and he was at RAF Cranwell. Manager Mary Walker said: “Lincoln is a beautiful city regardless of the Xmas market. It was not the be all and end all and we are doing fine without it. “We get loads of holiday makers including many from Australia and America and we have customers who come back year after year.” Nodding in agreement, her son Lewis Walker, 18, added: “Lincoln has become more of a university town and that’s good for business too. “I did not attend the Xmas market except once on a drunken night out. It was good for business but the way it was organised was very hectic. “Of course, when the market was going we were smashed for business. But it really needed to be spread over more days and spread out more so that more of the town benefitted. HERE are all the places where visitors to Lincoln will find ice sculptures as part of the Lincoln Ice Adventure. “Health and Safety can be a tough job when you have thousands and thousands of people going but that could have been solved by having it over a longer period.” Anna Clarkson, 28, who runs the Steep Hill Wine Shop, said: “We are hoping they will bring the market back and it will encourage more people into the shops rather than around them. “The aim should be to attract more people to this part of the city so the shops at the top of the hill can do as well as the ones at the bottom. “Anything that brings people up here is beneficial to local businesses and the Xmas market certainly did that. It was good - but really packed. “It was a bit too mad for me and the crowds got a bit crazy. The last one I went to I had a toddler in a harness and that was a bit scary.” Ashley Metcalfe, 33, and Josh, 36, visiting from Sacramento, California with seven year old daughter Lucy and other family members were very disappointed. Ashley said: “We had put the trip together to visit a Xmas market and get here to find there is no Xmas market on. ‘We could not get any answers from the local websites here what was going on.” Josh added: “Then I spotted a column saying it was cancelled two years ago so we missed it by a long chalk. “I can understand if they had cancelled it because local residents had complained but health and safety does not make any sense.” Ashley added: “We are leaving here tomorrow so we are just going to visit the Xmas market in Bath instead. “We did not realise the Xmas market was cancelled until we got here so it was very disappointing. It seems such an ideal location. “I would have been beautiful at Xmas. We know Xmas markets are something Europe does well. We don’t really have anything like it around where we live. So we don’t understand the local politics.” Speciality tea and coffee shop workers Ollie Simons, 29, and Emily Hodgson, 29, were also disappointed. Ollie said: “It is frustrating. It was a huge attraction to Lincoln. I think it was very short-sighted to cancel it outright rather than fixing the problem by spreading it out more and improving security. “The biggest sales we had were during the Xmas market. Emily added: “A lot of businesses around here are really struggling because they do not get as much footfall. “The market was once so packed it took me 40 minutes to get through it to get to work but they could have extended it and spread it out more down the street.” Ollie said: “An ice sculpture trail is nice but it is not attracting people from all over the world to see it like the Xmas market did. The business has been here 33 years and we miss the Xmas Market.” Another disgruntled shopper stormed: “We tried to come in previous years and could not get a hotel. So this year we have a hotel but no market. It is very frustrating.” Another trader Tony Green said: “I do feel it is a shame and football has definitely fallen. We think there is some kind of skulduggery going on. “The market should have been spread out over the whole city. Just to cancel it for health and safety reasons is quite lazy. “People come to LIncoln to shop so this is just Elf and Safety. By changing the market they could have created a huge attraction not just for Lincoln but the whole of the UK.” Mia Atkins, 22, said: “I did go to the very last Xmas market and thought it was rubbish and very poorly organised. “I am glad they called it off. It was very stressful. We got stuck in the crowd in the castle and could not get to any of the stalls in the end. “But it was good for local businesses and it was really just a question of having it better organised so it was less crowded.” But another young resident Bradley Jarman, 22, said: “I went to the last Xmas market and did not think it seemed that crowded anyway. “They were supposed to be laying on events throughout the whole year to make up for its loss but I have only seen a couple and they were not very well promoted.” Labour councillor Joshua Wells previously said: “Our first year of events in the Lincoln programme was a great success for the city, bringing in thousands of people to experience the culture, history and community spirit that Lincoln has to offer."

Giants owners face a decision on how to mollify frustrated fansCHICAGO — In the days after the presidential election, Sadie Perez began carrying pepper spray with her around campus. Her mom also ordered her and her sister a self-defense kit that included keychain spikes, a hidden knife key and a personal alarm. It’s a response to an emboldened fringe of right-wing “manosphere” influencers who have seized on Republican Donald Trump ’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats online. Many have appropriated a 1960s abortion rights rallying cry, declaring “Your body, my choice” at women online and on college campuses. For many women, the words represent a worrying harbinger of what might lie ahead as some men perceive the election results as a rebuke of reproductive rights and women’s rights. “The fact that I feel like I have to carry around pepper spray like this is sad,” said Perez, a 19-year-old political science student in Wisconsin. “Women want and deserve to feel safe.” Isabelle Frances-Wright, director of technology and society at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank focusing on polarization and extremism, said she had seen a “very large uptick in a number of types of misogynistic rhetoric immediately after the election,” including some “extremely violent misogyny.” “I think many progressive women have been shocked by how quickly and aggressively this rhetoric has gained traction,” she said. The phrase “Your body, my choice” has been largely attributed to a post on the social platform X from Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and far-right internet personality who dined at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida two years ago. In statements responding to criticism of that event, Trump said he had “never met and knew nothing about” Fuentes before he arrived. Mary Ruth Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis School of Law, said the phrase transforms the iconic abortion rights slogan into an attack on women’s right to autonomy and a personal threat. “The implication is that men should have control over or access to sex with women,” said Ziegler, a reproductive rights expert. Fuentes' post had 35 million views on X within 24 hours, according to a report by Frances-Wright's think tank, and the phrase spread rapidly to other social media platforms. Women on TikTok have reported seeing it inundate their comment sections. The slogan also has made its way offline with boys chanting it in middle schools or men directing it at women on college campuses, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue report and social media reports. One mother said her daughter heard the phrase on her college campus three times, the report said . School districts in Wisconsin and Minnesota have sent notices about the language to parents. T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase were pulled off Amazon. Perez said she has seen men respond to shared Snapchat stories for their college class with “Your body, my choice.” “It makes me feel disgusted and infringed upon,” she said. “... It feels like going backwards.” Misogynistic attacks have been part of the social media landscape for years. But Frances-Wright and others who track online extremism and disinformation said language glorifying violence against women or celebrating the possibility of their rights being stripped away has spiked since the election. Online declarations for women to “Get back in the kitchen” or to “Repeal the 19th,” a reference to the constitutional amendment that gave women the right to vote, have spread rapidly. In the days surrounding the election, the extremism think tank found that the top 10 posts on X calling for repeal of the 19th Amendment received more than 4 million views collectively. A man holding a sign with the words “Women Are Property” sparked an outcry at Texas State University . The man was not a student, faculty or staff, and was escorted off campus, according to the university’s president . The university is “exploring potential legal responses,” he said. Anonymous rape threats have been left on the TikTok videos of women denouncing the election results. And on the far-flung reaches of the web, 4chan forums have called for “rape squads” and the adoption of policies in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a dystopian book and TV series depicting the dehumanization and brutalization of women. “What was scary here was how quickly this also manifested in offline threats,” Frances-Wright said, emphasizing that online discourse can have real-world impacts. Previous violent rhetoric on 4chan has been connected to racially motivated and antisemitic attacks, including a 2022 shooting by a white supremacist in Buffalo that killed 10 people . Anti-Asian hate incidents also rose as politicians, including Trump , used words such as “Chinese virus” to describe the COVID-19 pandemic. And Trump’s language targeting Muslims and immigrants in his first campaign correlated with spikes in hate speech and attacks on these groups, Frances-Wright said. The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism reported similar rhetoric, with “numerous violent misogynistic trends” gaining traction on right-wing platforms such 4chan and spreading to more mainstream ones such as X since the election. Throughout the presidential race, Trump’s campaign leaned on conservative podcasts and tailored messaging toward disaffected young men . As Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention over the summer, the song “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown blared from the speakers. One of several factors to his success this election was modestly boosting his support among men , a shift concentrated among younger voters, according to AP VoteCast, survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. But Trump also won support from 44% of women age 18 to 44, according to AP VoteCast. To some men, Trump's return to the White House is seen as a vindication, gender and politics experts said. For many young women, the election felt like a referendum on women’s rights and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris ’ loss felt like a rejection of their own rights and autonomy. “For some of these men, Trump’s victory represents a chance to reclaim a place in society that they think they are losing around these traditional gender roles,” Frances-Wright said. None of the current online rhetoric is being amplified by Trump or anyone in his immediate orbit. But Trump has a long history of insulting women , and the spike in such language comes after he ran a campaign that was centered on masculinity and repeatedly attacked Harris over her race and gender . His allies and surrogates also used misogynistic language about Harris throughout the campaign. “With Trump’s victory, many of these men felt like they were heard, they were victorious. They feel that they have potentially a supporter in the White House,” said Dana Brown, executive director of the Pennsylvania Center for Women and Politics. Brown said some young men feel they’re victims of discrimination and have expressed mounting resentment for successes of the women’s rights movement, including #MeToo . The tension also has been influenced by socioeconomic struggles. As women become the majority on college campuses and many professional industries see increasing gender diversity, it has “led to young men scapegoating women and girls, falsely claiming it’s their fault they’re not getting into college anymore as opposed to looking inward,” Brown said. Perez, the political science student, said she and her sister have been leaning on each other, their mother and other women in their lives to feel safer amid the online vitriol. They text each other to make sure they got home safely. They have girls' nights to celebrate wins, including a female majority in student government at their campus in the University of Wisconsin system. “I want to encourage my friends and the women in my life to use their voices to call out this rhetoric and to not let fear take over,” she said.The Falcons announced three moves on Saturday, elevating K Riley Patterson and LB Josh Woods for Week 13. The team also signed OL Jovaughn Gwyn to their practice squad. Patterson, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Memphis back in 2021. He later signed a rookie contract with the Vikings but was waived coming out of the preseason. The Patriots later signed Patterson to their practice squad before the Lions added him to their active roster in late November. Detroit waived him at the start of the 2022 season and he was later claimed by the Jaguars. Jacksonville had re-signed Patterson as an exclusive rights free agent this offseason but traded him to the Lions in May. He kicked most of the season for Detroit before being released and catching on with the Browns as an injury replacement. From there, the Jaguars signed Patterson to a futures contract this offseason. Jacksonville waived him in July and he was later claimed by the Commanders. However, Washington let him go in August. He caught on with the Jets’ practice squad and was promoted last month but was cut after a couple of weeks. In 2024, Patterson has appeared in one game for the Jets and converted all three extra point attempts.

In November 2023 , Ram unveiled the facelifted DT-generation 1500 , resulting in its long-standing 5.7-litre Hemi V8 engine being axed and replaced by a newer 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline petrol six. While US deliveries have already started, the brand’s official Australian distributor has until now been tight-lipped about when – or even if – we would get the ‘Hurricane’-powered pickup in local showrooms. 100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . That’s now changed, with Ram Trucks Australia general manager, Jeff Barber, confirming it’ll be released here at an undisclosed time in 2025. “We have been overwhelmed by the response to the Hemi V8 runout , and we understand some buyers who want one of the last V8s may miss out,” Mr Barber said in a media statement. “However, we hope to have enough stock to fulfil most orders. “We will have a very worthy successor next year powered by a new-generation turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engine, but we will have more to say about that closer to local showroom arrivals.” As reported in October , Ram has received approval from the Australian government to sell five variants of the 1500 across two body lengths and with two engine outputs. The standard-output 3.0-litre twin-turbo engine (named SST SO) produces 313kW and 636Nm, while a high-output version (called SST HO) develops 403kW and 706Nm. For context, the Hemi V8 produces 291kW and 556Nm. Regardless of output, the Hurricane engine will be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Approved variants include the Big Horn short-wheelbase (SWB) and long-wheelbase (LWB), the Laramie (with or without Rambox) and the flagship Limited, which is the only grade available with the more potent engine. The six-cylinder Ram 1500 is classified as an NB1 vehicle – rather than the V8’s NA classification – which means its gross vehicle mass is between 3.5 and 4.5 tonnes, and it will be exempt from certain safety regulations such as ADR 85/00 (Pole Side Impact Performance). Not included in the approval documents are the fancy new Tungsten flagship, or the sportier Rebel or RHO variants. Also missing is the new Ramcharger , which features a range-extender powertrain with a large battery and a 3.6-litre petrol V6 used as a generator. It’s unclear if any of these variants will follow at a later point. Beyond the new engine, changes to the updated Ram 1500 include freshened exterior styling, as well as an improved 12-inch infotainment touchscreen or a new 14.5-inch unit, plus a 10.25-inch passenger display. The Ram 1500 will join the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra in only being available with six-cylinder power – though its rivals feature V6s, not straight-sixes – as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 becomes the only model remaining in the segment with a V8 engine.

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, (CMC) – The Prime Minister of Cooperative Republic of India, Shri Narendra Modi has been bestowed with the Order of Excellence, by President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali. Established in 1970 under the Constitution of the Orders of Guyana, the national award is limited to 25 living citizens of Guyana. The honorary ceremony, held earlier this following a cultural display, demonstrated the Government of Guyana’s recognition of Modi’s exceptional leadership in advancing the interests of developing nations on the global stage. “The greatest test of any member of the human family, is to give of their very little when they are most in need. And Prime Minister Modi has fulfilled this test with distinction during the COVID-19 pandemic, when they gifted this region 500,000 vaccines, when India itself was rallying to meet their own needs,” Ali asserted, after bestowing the award. He added that India’s kind gesture protected thousands of Guyanese against the dreaded coronavirus, as Guyana received 80,000 COVID-19 vaccines. Understanding that technology, innovation, and digitisation must not be used to widen the gap among countries, Ali highlighted India’s commitment to championing these solutions for developing nations. Additionally, over the years, Guyana has benefited from strong support, particularly in the areas of training, scholarships, military exchange programmes, concessional loans, and cultural exchanges with India. “In every sphere of national development, we can point to physical, institutional, and systemic support from the government and people of India. And we salute you, Prime Minister Modi, and the people of India,” he stated, adding, “Continue to lead, continue to be bold, continue to demonstrate the type of spine that is required in this very complex global environment.” President Ali said Prime Minister Modi is, and will always be a member of the CARICOM family. After receiving the award, Modi expressed heartfelt gratitude to Ali and his government for the honourable recognition. According to the Indian leader, President Ali has personally contributed to elevating the two nations’ current partnership to greater heights. “Under his leadership, we are continuously moving forward in every direction. Even in today’s discussions, I felt his affection and respect for the people of India,” he said, noting the similarities between India and Guyana, which further deepen historical and cultural relations. The Indian prime minister also reaffirmed his commitment to further advancing cooperation and partnership. Modi was invited to a vibrant display where Guyana’s diverse and unique cultural fabric was showcased. The prime minister is currently on a three-day state visit to Guyana, marking a significant milestone for both countries.Today’s NYT ‘Connections’ Hints And Answers For Saturday, November 23Geagea resumes campaign against Lebanon in parallel to Aleppo infernoIreland's 22 help Nicholls State take down New Orleans 73-70

(Reuters) -Oracle missed Wall Street expectations for second-quarter revenue and adjusted profit on Monday, hit by stiff competition and softer-than expected spending on its database and cloud services as enterprise clients slash budgets amid an uncertain economy. Shares of the company were down over 7% in extended trading. Despite seeing healthy growth in its cloud segment, Oracle competes with cloud heavyweights such as Microsoft and Amazon, which have established a large presence in the field. Wall Street expectations for AI-linked firms have been high as they bet on the technology to be a strong growth driver in the future. The company’s shares have soared over 80% so far this year. Oracle reported revenue of $14.06 billion in the second quarter, up 9% from a year ago, but below estimates of $14.11 billion, as per data compiled by LSEG. To gain market share in the competitive environment, Oracle has partnered with these so-called cloud hyperscalers by embedding its database architecture within Microsoft’s Azure and Amazon’s web clouds, allowing customers to connect data across various applications. The company’s cloud services and license revenue jumped 12% to $10.81 billion in the quarter ended Nov. 30. Oracle’s chief executive Safra Catz said total Oracle cloud revenue should top $25 billion in this fiscal year, as it makes hefty investments into upgrading its cloud architecture and integrating AI into it. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $1.47 per share, compared with estimates of a profit of $1.48 per share.
