Donald Trump, Cabinet Maker
Stock market today: Wall Street climbs as bitcoin bursts above $99,000The haze deepens across Kolkata where I live. My perspective turns hazier on where the solution may lie. Instead, this account is of how pollution is affecting my life. I discontinued my 7 km morning walk last week inside the 192-acre Rabindra Sarobar across from my residence after my wife hollered, 'How stupid of you to inhale morning toxins for 65 mins when you could be cycling at home!' I reconfigured my enforced exertion routine. I now cycle 36 mins and walk 12 mins at home, and 12 minutes inside my office to get to my 10,000 steps a day target. This November, the air-conditioner has taken on the function of 'must-have' air-purifier. Each residence room now has it. The morning conversation is no longer 'How well did you sleep last night?' It's 'The room AQI bottomed out at 45 when I checked at 2 a.m.' When we are visiting the extended family in the evening, my wife calls home: 'Make the bed. Close all the doors. Slide all the windows. Put the bedroom air-purifier on. Then you can leave.' A real estate friend told me, 'If this pollution continues, we will design larger homes with one room dedicated to the family gym.' A banker acquaintance says, 'Larger homes will mean more rooms, higher prices, and longer mortgage tenors.' An advertising professional told me, 'We are likely to soon have the first property promo that talks of how AQI in the location of the new property is lower than the city average. The word 'carbon sink' is going to become common terminology.'

View Program Artificial Intelligence(AI) Basics of Generative AI: Unveiling Tomorrow's Innovations By - Metla Sudha Sekhar, IT Specialist and Developer View Program The big deceiver is the mist and mellow sunlight. It sends out the deceptive signal that the world is at peace. The day appears like a picnic, drawing one out of home - only for pollution to creep up and unspool its poison. I have devised an understanding of whether a morning is walkable or not. If I can only see the outline of South City Apartments from my drawing room on Sarat Chatterjee Avenue, then I skip the walk. If I can see the indents of the apartments, then I can dare venturing out. Once upon a time we would share biscuits in office. We now share Mucolite syrup. Koflet is passed around like Cadbury Eclairs. Party conversations these days have a new subject: vaccines, with guests now dissecting the therapeutic differences between Pentavac and Tetravac. I have been forbidden from wearing socks at home this winter. 'It takes a long time getting rid of the black dust on the soles,' my wife complained. Meanwhile, Bengali mothers have stopped cautioning their children with the standard 'Thanda lege jaabe!' (You'll catch a cold!). Their standard line now is 'Kaashi lege jaabe' ('You'll catch a cough'). A relative said, 'I have a bungalow in Batanagar in the middle of a sizable carbon sink. The low pollution is so perceptible that one relaxes immediately and eases into sleep within minutes.' Low visibility has affected traffic speed. There is more time being spent in the car. Road rage is rising. Home-delivered services have increased. Who wants to drive in the traffic, and brave the pollution? Better to call for services home. A growing recognition for all those with children abroad (read: the US): 'There is a toss-up between dying of loneliness in a foreign country where no one knows you, or dying of respiratory failure in India.' The future is going to be influenced by how one would like to pass on. A cameraman recording a television interview said, 'The number of takes has increased because someone or the other on the set coughed.' All winter marathons now need to carry the cautionary line reserved for cigarette packaging. Each time pollution is discussed in our Urdu lovers' group, someone or the other turns to Ghalib's 'Zeher lagti hain mujhe aabo-havaa-e zindagi' (Winds of the times appear poisonous) written more than 150 years ago. Or Ahmed Faraz's 'Hawaaon me kya zeher ghola gayaa,/ Ki ab saans bhi toh liya jaaye na.' (The air is so full of poison,/ That breathing too has become impossible.) Quite prophetic.
BEIRUT: Syria’s embattled government said Saturday it was setting up a ring of steel around Damascus, state media reported, as rebels on a lightning advance said they were bearing down on the city. Syria’s presidency also denied reports that President Bashar Al-Assad had left Damascus, saying he was “following up on his work and national and constitutional duties from the capital”. “There is a very strong security and military cordon on the far edges of Damascus and its countryside, and no one... can penetrate this defensive line that we, the armed forces, are building,” Interior Minister Mohammed Al-Rahmoun told state television from the capital. Earlier, Assad’s government denied that the army had withdrawn from areas around Damascus. “Our forces have begun the final phase of encircling the capital,” said rebel commander Hassan Abdel Ghani, with the Islamist-led alliance that launched the offensive. The leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Islamist group which has headed the assault, told fighters to prepare to take the seat of Assad’s government, just over a week into a renewed offensive in the long-dormant conflict. “Damascus awaits you,” said HTS’ Ahmed Al-Sharaa in a statement on Telegram, using his real name instead of his nom de guerre, Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani. Syria’s defense ministry said army forces were “present in all areas of the Damascus countryside”. “There is no truth to news claiming our armed forces... have withdrawn” from positions near Damascus, it said. In a Damascus suburb on Saturday, witnesses said protesters toppled a statue of the late president Hafez Al-Assad, who handed Syria’s rule to his son. Similar scenes were witnessed in images shared by local media in the southern city of Daraa and in online footage verified by AFP from Hama, north of the capital. In Hama, an AFP photographer saw residents set fire to a giant poster of President Assad on the facade of city hall. “The rebels entered Hama, it was a great joy for us — something we had been waiting for since 2011,” said resident Maymouna Jawad, of the year Assad’s crackdown on democracy protests escalated into civil war. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose government backs armed groups in north Syria and has sent ground forces across the border numerous times since 2016, said on Saturday that Syria “is tired of war, blood and tears”. “Our wish is for our neighbor, Syria, to find the peace and tranquility it has been dreaming of for 13 years.” US President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday 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. “Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!” Trump said on his Truth Social platform. Trump said in his post that Russia, “with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years”. “But now they are, like possibly Assad himself, being forced out, and it may actually be the best thing that can happen to them. There was never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia.” The HTS leader said in a CNN interview published on Friday that “the goal of the revolution remains the overthrow of this regime”. As government forces fall back in the face of the offensive gathering even more momentum, a war monitor and Abdel Ghani said rebels were within 20 kilometers of Damascus. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said government forces had ceded more key ground, losing control of all of southern Daraa province, cradle of the 2011 uprising. The army said it was “redeploying and repositioning” in Daraa and another southern province, Sweida. The Britain-based Observatory said troops were also evacuating posts in Quneitra, near the Zionist-annexed Golan Heights where the Zionist entity said it was boosting its troop presence. Jordan has urged its citizens to leave neighboring Syria “as soon as possible”, as have Assad ally Russia and the United States, which both keep troops in Syria. After the HTS-led rebels seized Aleppo and Hama earlier in their offensive since Nov 27, Daraa was taken by local armed groups, the Observatory said. An AFP correspondent in Daraa saw local fighters guarding public property and civil institutions on Saturday. In Sweida city, a local fighter told AFP that after government forces had withdrawn “from their positions and headquarters, we are now securing and protecting vital facilities”. “We must remain vigilant to avoid descending into chaos, as chaos will harm everyone.” In the central Homs area, a key stepping stone to Damascus, the Observatory said government forces had brought “large reinforcements” and stopped the rebel advance. By Friday, the government was also pulling troops out of Deir Ezzor in the east, with Kurdish-led forces saying they had moved in. An Iraqi security source told AFP that Baghdad has allowed in hundreds of Syrian soldiers who “fled the front lines” and entered through the Al-Qaim border crossing, the Syrian side of which is in Deir Ezzor province. A second source put the figure at 2,000 troops, including officers. HTS is rooted in the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda. Proscribed as a terrorist organization by Western governments, it has sought to soften its image in recent years. As the Islamist rebels seize more territory, they have sought to reassure minority groups living in areas now under their control. “We ask that all sects be reassured... for the era of sectarianism and tyranny has gone away forever,” said Abdel Ghani. Since the offensive began last week, at least 826 people, mostly combatants but also including 111 civilians, have been killed, according to the Observatory. The United Nations said the violence has displaced 370,000 people. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for a “political solution to the conflict”, his spokesperson said Friday, in a call with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. Fidan his Iranian and Russian counterparts discussed Syria in Qatar on Saturday. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the parties agreed on the initiation of “political dialogue between the Syrian government and the legitimate opposition groups”. Russia’s top diplomat Sergei Lavrov said it was “inadmissible” to allow a “terrorist group to take control” of Syrian territory. Moscow and Tehran have supported Assad’s government and army during the war, as has Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. A source close to the group said Hezbollah had sent 2,000 fighters into Syria, to an area near the Lebanese border, “to defend its positions”. – Agencies
