Assessing the EU’s new migration pact

Photo: The Canadian Press Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a new chapter for Syria can begin that's free of terrorism and suffering for its people. In a social media post on X on Sunday, Trudeau said the fall of the Assad dictatorship "ends decades of brutal oppression." Syrian President Bashar Assad fled the country on Sunday and is now reported to be in Moscow, bringing to a dramatic close his nearly 14-year struggle to hold onto control as his country fragmented in a brutal civil war. The toppling of Assad comes after opposition forces entered the Syrian capital of Damascus, ending half a century of rule by his family. Trudeau said Canada is monitoring the transition closely, and he urged "order, stability, and respect for human rights." Ottawa is urging Canadians to avoid all travel to Syria and to consider leaving the country if it's safe to do so. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre told a news conference on Sunday that Assad "was a puppet for the tyrants of Tehran." "He has carried out genocides against the Sunni people in his own country, and now he appears to have been toppled," Poilievre said in Ottawa. Poilievre said it's unknown who will replace Assad, adding it isn't Canada's fight and that he doesn't believe Canada should get involved. "We should stand with our allies, including Israel, against the terrorists. We should focus on protecting our own country." Ottawa describes the security situation as volatile, and said the Damascus and Aleppo airports as well as some border crossings are closed. An updated travel advisory from the Canadian government warns people to avoid the Middle Eastern country due to what it calls "ongoing armed conflict, terrorism, criminality, arbitrary detention, torture and forced disappearance." Canada has urged its citizens to leave Syria since November 2011, and its embassy in Damascus suspended its operations in 2012.

Nebraska saw a football player announce a transfer for a third straight day Wednesday, this time a rotational member of the defensive line. Kai Wallin will move on after two seasons as a Husker, he announced on social media. He appeared in 11 games this fall with four tackles and recorded half a sack at Purdue. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder said he “deliberated, consulted and prayed” about his decision. “While I hope to continue to grow and evolve and make an impact on a new field, I will never forget the honor it was to wear a Nebraska jersey,” Wallin wrote in part. Wallin played a year of junior-college ball before arriving at Nebraska in 2023. The Sacramento native redshirted his first season before logging 89 snaps this year including 13 against Wisconsin. He saw single-digit snaps in five games behind a senior-heavy starting line. The defender has two years of eligibility remaining. Wallin is the 10th Husker to announce his intent to enter the transfer portal since Nov. 25. Migration among defenders has been higher as defensive coordinator Tony White and defensive line coach Terrance Knighton both left in recent days for Florida State. NU coach Matt Rhule said earlier Wednesday the roster churn – especially attrition – will continue in earnest as the team continues to trim closer to next season’s mandated limit of 105. “There’s going to be more,” Rhule said. “Everybody’s journey is different.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!'Mini Hindustan Has Come In Front Of Me': PM Modi Addresses 'Hala Modi' Event In Kuwait

Maura Higgins has earned admiration from her I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! co-stars after recounting a tale of how she got back at a cheating ex. The 33 year old Irish star, who first gained fame on Love Island's fifth season in 2019, opened up about her motivations for joining the show following a sudden split from her then-boyfriend upon discovering his infidelity. Maura, who is currently linked to TOWIE and Strictly's Pete Wicks, shared with campmates Jane Moore and Danny Jones her story of deceit and retribution. When Jane inquired about Maura's journey to Love Island, the Irish celebrity recounted: "So I had a boyfriend at the time" - and proceeded to describe her shock at finding incriminating messages on his phone, which made her feel like she "didn't know him at all". She went on to describe her vengeful act in full: "I had a plan and no word of a lie, when he went to the gym the next day I got his toothbrush and I filmed myself scrubbing in the verges [of the toilet], he had a dentist appointment that day!"

Danny couldn't help but react, saying: "You don't wanna mess with Maura! " The Love Island star then explained how the incident motivated her to go into the villa with full force, saying: "I went in like a bull in a china shop because I was so angry about that whole thing" Maura Higgins revealed how she once got revenge on a bad boyfriend (Image: ITV/REX/Shutterstock) Jane from Loose Women praised her spirit, commenting: "You are fierce! I love it! " and gave her a high-five. This revelation had fans rallying behind her on social media, where they expressed their support. One fan posted: "Obsessed with Maura's villain origin story being cheated on and scrubbing the loo with a toothbrush to then going on love island. A true diva #ImACeleb #imacelebrity." Another added: "Maura is super funny. #ImACeleb." Further praise came from another viewer who said: "Maura Higgins I am OBSESSED with you! #ImaCeleb." Since her stint on Love Island in 2019, Maura has been in the spotlight for her personal life as well, having dated Curtis Pritchard post-show, and later being linked to Chris Taylor, Giovanni Pernice, and Hollywood stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton, known for doubling for Chris Hemsworth. Join our WhatsApp Top Stories and, Breaking News group by clicking this linkAFP – Romanians voted yesterday in the first round of a presidential election amid a surge in inflation that could favour far-right leader George Simion. The vote kicks off two weeks of elections in the poor North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member country, including a parliamentary vote and a December 8 presidential run-off. Social democrat Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu is leading a field of 13 contenders in the race to take over from President Klaus Iohannis in the largely ceremonial post. Ciolacu has about 25 per cent support in opinion polls, followed by AUR leader Simion on 15 to 19 per cent. Ciolacu, whose Social Democratic Party (PSD) has shaped the country’s politics for more than three decades, promised stability and a “decent” standard of living as he voted Sunday. Simion, 38, has seen his popularity surge by tapping into voter anger over record inflation – 10 per cent last year and 5.5 per cent predicted for 2024 – while promising more affordable housing. Looking for a new election breakthrough for European far-right parties, he warned of possible “fraud” and “foreign interference” when voting. But he added: “I am happy that we are giving Romanians hope and the prospect of a better future.” Simion is targeting people like Rodica, a 69-year-old who was among the first to vote in Bucharest’s chilly sunshine. The pensioner, who would not give a family name, was afraid of the neighbouring war and wanted “better living conditions and peace”. The Black Sea nation now plays a “vital strategic role” for NATO – as it is a base for more than 5,000 soldiers – and the transit of Ukrainian grain, the New Strategy Center think tank said. Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election has further “complicated” Romania’s choice, political analyst Cristian Pirvulescu told AFP . Known for his fiery speeches, Simion is a Trump fan who sometimes dons a red cap in appreciation of his idol.I don't like to look back on decisions I made in the past and think about how different things might be now if I had taken another path. For instance, I see little point in wondering how my life would have changed if I had attended a different university or not become a journalist. The same applies to economic policies. However, the timing of economic policy, as opposed to its content, is a different matter. In economic policies, timing is as important as, if not more important than, the content. We often see cases where well-designed policy measures fail to produce the desired effects, or even worsen the situation, because they are implemented too late or too early. Conversely, even poorly prepared measures can achieve better-than-expected results when implemented at the right time. Unfortunately, the Bank of Korea’s recent policy actions appear to fall into the former category. In October, the central bank lowered its policy interest rate for the first time in nearly four and a half years. This decision was based on inflation stabilizing, household debt growth slowing due to tightened government macroprudential policies, and risks easing in the foreign exchange market. The central bank also noted that, while the local economy was expected to continue its trend of moderate growth, uncertainties surrounding the growth outlook had heightened due to the delayed recovery in domestic demand. However, the effect of the rate cut on financial and economic conditions was very limited. Of course, market players agreed that the rate cut was better than nothing in the sense that policymakers were finally paying attention to weakening economic conditions. But the decision came too late to achieve its typical effect of encouraging people to invest more in riskier assets, such as equities, and spurring businesses to continue spending — even by increasing borrowing. In fact, most conventional indicators had pointed to the need for a rate cut much earlier in the year. Inflation was declining and poised to fall below the central bank’s 2 percent target, economic growth showed signs of missing expectations, and employment figures were disappointing. While acknowledging that the weakening macroeconomic conditions warranted a policy shift, the central bank refused to lower the interest rate earlier, citing concerns about rising real estate prices in Seoul and the surrounding region, high household debt levels and a volatile dollar-won exchange rate. However, these justifications were far from economically sound. First, real estate prices were not rising rapidly on a national level. Apartment prices were indeed climbing in the Seoul metropolitan area, but housing prices nationwide were largely flat -- or even declining when adjusted for inflation. Its concern over high household debt levels also appeared unfounded. While South Korea’s household debt is high by international standards and poses long-term risks to the financial system, it is not solely the central bank’s responsibility to address this issue. The underlying causes of high household debt include structural factors such as the country’s unique house rental system, underdeveloped banking practices and relatively limited household income sources beyond wages due to the underdeveloped local capital market. The central bank’s concerns about the volatile dollar-won exchange rate were also questionable. While some argue that lower interest rates could trigger capital outflows and weaken the local currency’s value, research shows that interest rates are just one of many factors influencing exchange rates. Eventually, the Bank of Korea decided to cut the policy rate at its October meeting. Yet this significant decision failed to alleviate public concerns or boost the economy as expected. As conditions deteriorated further, the central bank implemented another rate cut in November. It is highly unusual for the central bank to lower interest rates at two consecutive policy meetings in the absence of a crisis, such as the US subprime mortgage crisis or the COVID-19 pandemic. This move was clearly intended to signal to investors and other economic actors that policymakers were committed to supporting the economy. However, the financial markets reacted in an entirely unexpected way. Instead of increasing their holdings of stocks and other won-denominated assets, investors sold them off. Rather than conveying confidence that policymakers could turn the situation around, the successive rate cuts sent the opposite message -- that the economy might be in far worse condition than previously thought. Regrettably, the Bank of Korea’s monetary policy over the past two months will likely be remembered as a textbook example of well-intentioned policy implemented at the wrong time, forcing the entire economy to bear unnecessary costs. To make matters worse, the economy is now falling deeper into chaos due to political instability sparked by the president’s sudden failed attempt to impose martial law. The Bank of Korea may face no choice but to implement a third consecutive rate cut at its next policy meeting if the situation continues to hurt economic sentiment. It would definitely be a scenario the Bank of Korea could not have imagined when it continued to ignore signals from traditional macroeconomic indicators suggesting it was time to take action. The inconvenient truth is that someone will have to bear the cost.

Founded in 1856 by pioneers traveling west on the Oregon Trail, the city grew alongside the expansion of the region, which rapidly became an important hub for farming and lumber. McMinnville's historic downtown brings its pioneer roots to life with brick-lined streets and vintage signs. Wine-tasting rooms, art galleries, trendy restaurants, and a host of festivals beckon visitors to enjoy the town's unique charm, while residents cherish it as a perfect place to raise a family. And right downtown, the new Scientology Ideal Mission of McMinnville held its Grand Opening – one of the record number of new Ideal Scientology Missions opened in 2024. PHOTO CAPTION: Grand Opening of the new Scientology Ideal Mission of McMinnville – one of the record number of new Ideal Scientology Missions opened in 2024. Scientology Missions form the vanguard of the Scientology religion, providing the full array of basic and introductory Scientology services and Scientology auditing (spiritual counseling). And the new Scientology Mission of McMinnville is designed to serve as the physical embodiment of Scientology technology in helping all to attain spiritual freedom. McMinnville's friendly and welcoming spirit marked the afternoon when community leaders and special guests joined Scientologists from throughout the region to welcome the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology Mission of McMinnville. Mission Director Ms. Jade Milner welcomed those gathered for this special occasion.“It is truly my immense honor to be here as your Master of Ceremonies on this landmark day in McMinnville,” she said. She shared Letters of Recognition welcoming the new Church to McMinnville from the Yamhill County Commissioner and the Inter-Faith Peace and Action Collaborative. “When you look around, you can see why the Willamette Valley is named one of the 10 most beautiful places on the planet. This is a true community, which Scientologists have been part of for as many as five decades. So, it is now my supreme pleasure to say: Welcome to the Grand Opening of your new Ideal Scientology Mission for McMinnville.” Joining Ms. Milner at the podium for the Grand Opening celebration were Mr. John Olson, President of the McMinnville Chamber of Commerce; Ms. Susan Milano, President of Soroptimist International of McMinnville; Mr. Lionel Irving, founder of the Love is Stronger nonprofit of Portland, Oregon; and Mission Founder Ms. Devin Weber. Ascending the stage to welcome the Mission to the community, Mr. Olson described McMinnville as a town built on relationships, partnerships, and community spirit.“Here, we don't just live alongside each other, we show up for one another, working together to make this city better for all. I am thrilled to welcome this new Mission that shares in that spirit and is ready to join hands with us contributing to our future. I am tremendously excited that inside these doors is a place to overcome challenges, find solutions, and build better lives.” Susan Milano, President of Soroptimist International of McMinnville, spoke of collaboration.“I am here to welcome the new Church of Scientology Mission of McMinnville. I've come to appreciate that we share common goals in breaking down barriers that stand in the way of individuals achieving their fullest potential. I recently learned of your Youth for Human Rights program, which educates young people about their most basic human rights and empowers them to advocate for these rights in their own lives, and for the lives of others in their communities. This sense of community is part of what makes McMinnville so special. Together, we can elevate each other and create a brighter, more inclusive future for all.” “Congratulations on this remarkable new Mission here in McMinnville,” said Mr. Lionel Irving, Executive Director of Love is Stronger nonprofit in Portland, Oregon.“I went through my own struggles, made some mistakes, and ended up in prison. I didn't have anyone to guide me toward better choices back then. Since 2017, after my release, I've been running 'Love is Stronger,' a program that reaches out to people in need.” He spoke of the importance of The Way to Happiness , the common-sense guide to better living by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard.“I realized how powerful these materials could be for the members of my youth group. They not only use these materials but also share them with their families and friends. They face their challenges differently now; they know they have tools to rely on-a real roadmap to get them on the right path. I know this beautiful community will experience the same transformation that we've seen in Portland.” Visitors to the McMinnville Mission are welcome to tour the Public Information Display, featuring multimedia presentations of the basic beliefs and practices of Dianetics and Scientology as well as the life and legacy of L. Ron Hubbard. As an Ideal Church of Scientology Mission, McMinnville is equipped with every facility needed to provide the full array of introductory Scientology services. These include the popular Life Improvement Courses through which anyone may find workable solutions to common challenges of everyday life-such as how to improve a marriage, successfully raise children, increase personal motivation, and set and achieve goals. The new Mission also offers seminars on a wide range of topics, including personal efficiency. The Hubbard Dianetics Seminar is based on Mr. Hubbard's watershed work Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health , the bestselling book that reveals the source of one's nightmares, unreasonable fears and irrational behavior-the reactive mind-and how to conquer it. Additionally, the Mission provides spiritual counseling, known as auditing , and the Purification Program , developed by Mr. Hubbard to free individuals from the mental and spiritual damage caused by drugs and toxins. The grand opening of the Ideal Scientology Mission of McMinnville contributed to the record-breaking rollout of new Ideal Scientology Missions opened around the globe in 2024. From Quito, Ecuador, at the geographic center of the globe; to the timeless blend of alpine charm and Renaissance splendor of Bergamo, Italy; back-to-back openings in Taiwan in the city of Chiayi, the gateway to the nation's cultural heritage, and the bustling metropolis of Taichung; the dynamic community of Santo André in São Paulo's metropolitan region; and finally, Japan's thriving port city of Osaka. Many more Ideal Scientology Missions are planned across North and South America, Europe and Asia in the coming year. The Scientology religion was founded by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. Mr. David Miscavige is the Scientology religion's ecclesiastical leader . The first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles in 1954 and the religion has expanded to more than 11,000 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups, with millions of members in 167 countries.

N.C. State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson was named head coach at Marshall on Sunday, shortly after Thundering Herd coach Charles Huff’s hiring was announced at Southern Miss. Gibson, 52, will take his first head-coaching job in college and return to his home state, where he served two stints at West Virginia over the past two decades. The terms of Gibson’s deal were not immediately disclosed. “We could not be happier to welcome Tony Gibson home as our 32nd head coach at Marshall University,” school President Brad Smith said in a statement. “Coach Gibson has led some of the top programs on the national level, but in the end, his heart desired to return to the mountains from which he came.” Gibson’s hiring was announced less than an hour after Huff was named coach at Southern Miss. Huff coached Marshall to a 31-3 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette in the Sun Belt championship game on Saturday night. Marshall (10-3) won seven straight games for its first 10-win season since 2015. Gibson coached defensive backs at West Virginia under Rich Rodriguez from 2001 to 2007. He returned in 2013 under Dana Holgorsen as safeties coach, then became defensive coordinator a year later and stayed until Holgorsen left at the end of the 2018 season. Gibson spent six seasons at N.C. State. He had other assistant coaching stints at Pitt and under Rodriguez at Michigan and Arizona. N.C. State’s defense ranked near the bottom of the ACC this season, allowing 30.5 points and 385 yards per game. The Wolfpack’s best season under Gibson was in 2022, when it tied with Louisville for the fewest points allowed at 19.2 per game and was second in yards allowed at 327. “My family and I are excited to start this journey, but we all thank you for your support and the wonderful memories,” Gibson wrote to the N.C. State community in a post Sunday on the social media platform X. Gibson, who is from Van, West Virginia, graduated in 1994 from Glenville State, where he played defensive back. “We have recruited a proven coach that aspires to be at Marshall and to sustain the success we have come to appreciate and expect,” athletic director Christian Spears said in the statement. “We can’t wait to get started with him and his staff.” One of Gibson’s first tasks will be replenishing Marshall’s roster. The Thundering Herd signed only 11 recruits in the recent early signing period.Brazilian police formally accuse former President Bolsonaro and aides of alleged 2022 coup attemptYour Legacy, Ponguleti Slams Harish’s Remarks on State’s Financial Situation
