Trump takes an unusual approach at his rally in Wisconsin, dressing as a sanitation worker and appearing in a garbage truck. His goal: convince voters that Democrats think of Trump supporters as “garbage.” The move was in response to a verbal slip by Biden the night before.
With the regime of his Syrian ally Bashar al-Assad toppled in Damascus, Russian leader Vladimir Putin received a public warning from President-elect Donald Trump, who urged him to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine before the conflict there becomes “far worse.” “Assad is gone,” Trump wrote, in an early Sunday morning post on Truth Social. “He has fled his country.

In a television interview that aired Sunday, Trump also said he would be open to reducing military aid to Ukraine and pulling the United States out of NATO.
There will not be any cosy dinners at the Kremlin, but Bashar al-Assad may still be quaffing champagne and slurping caviar in his new life of luxury in exile in Russia.

Liz Cheney has clapped back at President-elect Donald Trump after he threatened to imprison her and other members on the congressional committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots. In an interview on NBC’s Meet The Press that aired Sunday morning, Trump claimed that Cheney, along with a “committee of political thugs” deleted all the evidence from their investigation. “Cheney did something that’s inexcusable, along with Thompson and the people on the un-selec
(Reuters) -Demand for workers in Britain collapsed last month after the new Labour government's first budget, a survey published on Monday showed, adding to other signs of the impact of the tax increases on employers. The Recruitment and Employment Confederation trade body and accountants KPMG said their index of demand for staff slid to 43.9, the lowest reading since August 2020, from October's 46.1. "It should be a surprise to no-one that firms took the time to re-assess their hiring needs in November after a tough budget for employers," REC Chief Executive Neil Carberry said.

Not when it comes to events currently under way in Syria, a country straddling the fault lines of the Middle East. The collapse of the Assad regime will be the most significant event yet in the upheaval that's followed the 7 October attacks by Hamas in Israel last year.

The Russo-Ukrainian war cannot end until all sides want a stable and just peace, and the greatest obstacle to such an outcome is the Russian regime, which is deeply authoritarian and hostile to Ukraine.
The Syrian government has collapsed, falling to a rebel offensive that seized control of the capital Damascus and sent crowds into the streets to celebrate. What unfolded was "not that surprising", according to Sky's defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke. From a military point of view it is what tends to happen, he said, citing similar scenarios in the Libyan civil war in 2011, and in Iraq in 2014 - when Islamic State fighters "were at the gates of Baghdad within weeks".
JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Israel will step up airstrikes on Syrian stores of advanced weaponry, Israeli officials said on Monday, and keep a "limited" troop presence on the ground, hoping to head off any threat that could emerge in the fallout of president Bashar al-Assad's overthrow. Israel has watched the upheaval in Syria with a mixture of hope and concern as it weighs the consequences of one of the most significant strategic shifts in the Middle East in years. "We are taking all the actions necessary to try to ensure our security with regard to the new situation in Syria," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters in a late-night press conference at his office without going into detail.

The silent black-and-white surveillance camera video of the Russian missile attack in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro was brief but chilling: Six huge fireballs pierced the darkness and slammed into the ground at astonishing speed. Within hours of the Nov. 21 attack on the military facility, Russian President Vladimir Putin took the rare step of speaking on national TV to boast about the new, hypersonic missile. Putin said the missile was called the “Oreshnik” — Russian for “hazelnut tree."
