Shoats has 18 in Siena’s 66-53 victory against CanisiusTEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday night that the Syrian Army made quick retreats in the face of offensives by militants from the Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS). Araghchi visited Doha on Sunday for talks with his Russian and Turkish counterparts on the Syrian conflict. Concurrently, Qatar was hosting the Doha Forum that was attended by foreign ministers from other countries, including Saudi Arabia. “The main question of the countries who were present in Qatar was ‘why did the Syrian Army retreat so quickly.’ Their resistance was short,” Araghchi told a special TV program. He added, “The pace of developments had surprised all.” The chief diplomat said, “In my view the Syrian Army lost to the psychological war rather than an real war on the battlefield.” Araghchi also said in the meetings he had with President Beshar Assad in Damascus on December 1, the Syrian leader was surprised with the poor performance of the Army and complained about it. President Assad left the country on Sunday morning after the HTS militant entered the capital Damascus. On Sunday evening, the Kremlin announced Russia had given amnesty to Assad and he and his family were in Moscow.nighty night circus 。

President-elect Donald Trump has stirred controversy this week with his pledge to impose new tariffs on imports from the United States' top trading partners: Canada, China, and Mexico. Earlier this week, Trump announced plans to implement a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada, alongside a 10% tariff on Chinese products. This marks Trump's first major tariff promise since his election, signaling a tough approach to trade with these countries. He stated that, upon taking office, he would sign executive orders to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada, maintaining that the tariffs would remain in place until the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl into the U.S. was stopped. "This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!" Trump wrote. Canada: The biggest surprise Trump’s hard-line stance on China, which conservatives view as a threat to U.S. economic and national security, comes as no surprise. Similarly, his criticism of Mexico is rooted in long-standing concerns over immigration and border security. But what’s less expected is the inclusion of Canada, the U.S.'s northern neighbor, in this tariff plan. While it’s possible that these tariff threats are part of a broader negotiation strategy, there has been a notable uptick in border apprehensions in recent months. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, arrests at the U.S.-Canada border surged from 10,021in the 12-month period ending September 2023, to 23,721 in the following year. Immigration has been one of Trump’s signature issues since his 2016 campaign, and his tough stance on border security continues to resonate with his political base. In response to Trump's remarks, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the concerns within his own country, emphasizing the ongoing strong ties between the U.S. and Canada. “We talked about how the intense and effective connections between our two countries flow back and forth,” Trudeau said, noting that both nations could collaborate on addressing shared challenges. If these tariffs are enacted, the impact could be significant. Canada exports about 77% of its goods to the U.S., according to the Toronto Region Board of Trade, meaning that such measures could have far-reaching economic consequences for both countries. Elon Musk on Trump’s tariff crackdown Reacting to a post that discusses Trump's latest tariff plan, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to X and said, “Price of Fentanyl will rise sharply.”After a rocky 2-8 start to the season, the Milwaukee Bucks have begun to find their footing, winning six of their past seven games and climbing back into the No. 6 spot in the Eastern Conference. With the season still young, their recent surge is a welcome sign that they might not be as far off as their early struggles suggested. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been nothing short of spectacular during this stretch. Averaging a career-high 32.4 points per game while shooting a blistering 61% from the field, he’s playing like an MVP candidate once again. His ability to dominate in the paint and his improved shot-making have been crucial for the Bucks as they start to get back on track . But it’s not just Giannis carrying the load — Milwaukee’s defense has also stepped up. Since the start of November, they rank in the top 10 in defensive efficiency, a major improvement after a rocky defensive start to the season. Still, context is important. The Bucks’ win streak has come during a relatively soft stretch of their schedule, with some weaker opponents giving them a chance to build momentum. Now, the real test begins. The true measure of whether this team is truly back to form will come in the coming weeks, as they face tougher competition. Can they maintain their defensive intensity and continue to get the most out of Giannis? If they can, then the Bucks may very well be back on the path to playoff contention, and potentially even deeper aspirations. For now, Milwaukee is cautiously optimistic, but the road ahead will reveal if they’re truly out of the woods.

Fans of Call the Midwife are bracing themselves for a whirlwind of drama courtesy of newcomer Roger Noble, played by Conor O'Donnell, after his romance with Nurse Nancy Corrigan, portrayed by Megan Cusack, was sealed. As Christmas descended upon Poplar, Nancy found herself grappling with loneliness until a chance encounter with Roger, a charming and witty pharmaceutical salesman, at Dr. Turner's surgery. Their undeniable chemistry only intensified when Roger returned the following day, culminating in a cringe-worthy yet endearing attempt at flirting, which ultimately led to him asking Nancy out on a date. Initially, Nancy rebuffed Roger's advances, but a change of heart soon followed, albeit tempered by her apprehension about revealing her status as a single mother to her cherished daughter, Colette, played by Francesca Fullilove. Having devoted herself to her duties as a midwife and Colette's upbringing, romance had taken a backseat for Nancy, a situation poised for a dramatic shift, reports the Express . Roger and Nancy's enchanting funfair date ended with a kiss, followed by a comedic twist when he twisted his ankle, leaving Nancy in stitches. The next day, Roger appeared on the doorstep of Nonnatus, bearing thank-you flowers for Nancy. However, it was Colette who greeted him, and his surprise was palpable upon hearing her affectionately call out "mummy" in reference to Nancy, a detail she had conspicuously omitted. Witnessing Roger and Colette together sent Nancy into a tailspin, prompting her to make a hasty exit for work. Undeterred by the unexpected turn of events, Roger remained resolute, extending another invitation for Nancy to join him on a date. He was also swift in suggesting taking Nancy and Colette out, and having laid the groundwork with flattery and charm, she agreed. Roger's eagerness to demonstrate his devotion to Nancy after only a few encounters sparked concerns among viewers. Some fans are convinced that Roger is a political activist, and as tensions in Northern Ireland escalate with the advent of the 1970s, he could become a liability. Taking to X, one viewer expressed: "Why do I think Roger will be trouble for Nancy #CallTheMidwife." A second viewer speculated: "Nancy's beau has something to do with the Troubles, I sense, given we're in 1969. #callthemidwife." A third viewer concurred: "I do not trust Nancy's new man #CallTheMidwife". Another viewer added: "I hope Nancy's new fella isn't love bombing her #CallTheMidwife". Call the Midwife returns Sunday, January 5, on BBC One and iPlayer at 8pm
