In a surprising turn of events, the Russian Foreign Ministry has announced that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has issued an order to peacefully transfer power and has relinquished his position as the country's president. This development marks a significant shift in the ongoing conflict in Syria and raises hopes for a peaceful resolution to the long-standing crisis.OTTAWA — First Nations leaders are split over next steps after a landmark $47.8-billion child welfare reform deal with Canada was struck down, prompting differing legal opinions from both sides. The Assembly of First Nations and a board member of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society have received competing legal opinions on potential ways forward. Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict says the chiefs he represents are still hoping the agreement that chiefs outside the province voted down two months ago is not moot. Chiefs in Ontario are interveners in the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal case that led to its realization. He added there are also concerns that some of the elements in the new negotiation mandate outlined by chiefs in an October assembly go beyond the current governance structure of the Assembly of First Nations. "There will have to be action by the Assembly of First Nations in the very near future to advance these positions, but you also need willing partners," Benedict said. "We're still considering what our options are." Those options are also being debated in legal reviews commissioned by the Assembly of First Nations and a board member of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, which are both parties to the human rights case, along with Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Khelsilem, a chairperson from the Squamish Nation who penned a resolution that defeated the deal in October, critiqued the stance of Ontario First Nations by saying they negotiated a "bad agreement" for First Nations outside the province and now that chiefs want to go back to the table for a better deal, they want to split from the process entirely. "It potentially undermines the collective unity of First Nations to achieve something that is going to benefit all of us," he said. The $47.8-billion agreement was struck in July after decades of advocacy and litigation from First Nations and experts, seeking to redress discrimination against First Nations children who were torn from their families and placed in foster care. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal said Canada’s underfunding was discriminatory because it meant kids living on reserve were given fewer services than those living off reserves, and tasked Canada with reaching an agreement with First Nations to reform the system. The agreement was meant to cover 10 years of funding for First Nations to take control of their own child welfare services from the federal government. Chiefs and service providers critiqued the deal for months, saying it didn’t go far enough to ensure an end to the discrimination. They have also blasted the federal government for what they say is its failure to consult with First Nations in negotiations, and for the exclusion of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, which helped launched the initial human rights complaint. In October at a special chiefs assembly in Calgary, the deal was struck down through two resolutions. The Assembly of First Nations sought a legal review of those resolutions by Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP — a firm where the former national chief of the organization, Perry Bellegarde, works as a special adviser. In the legal review from Fasken, it appears as though the assembly asked for direction on how to get "rid" of two resolutions used to vote down the deal, with an employee of the firm saying they can review the resolutions together if they want them both gone, or they can "leave room for compromise" with one of the resolutions. In a statement, the Assembly of First Nations said the review was conducted to assess the legal, technical and operational aspects of the resolutions to ensure their "effective implementation." "The opinions formed by external counsel are their own and do not reflect the views or positions of the AFN," said Andrew Bisson, the chief executive officer, who added it's not unusual for the organization to seek such reviews. Bisson did not address the language used by a Fasken employee to "get rid" of resolutions, but said "the legal and technical reviews were conducted in good faith, not to undermine the chiefs' direction. The chiefs have provided clear direction, and the AFN is committed to following that direction." The legal reviews from Fasken, dated Nov. 15, argue that the October resolutions on child welfare require a significant review of who voted for them, along with changes to the organization's charter should they be implemented. Resolution 60 called for a rejection of the final settlement agreement, and for the establishment of a Children's Chiefs Commission that will be representative of all regions and negotiate long-term reforms. It also called for the AFN's executive committee to "unconditionally include" the Caring Society in negotiations. Fasken said that commission is contrary to the AFN's charter, and the law, because the AFN's executive committee doesn't have the power to create one, and that the executive committee "alone" has the authority to execute mandates on behalf of the assembly. It adds there are no accountability measures for the new negotiation body, and that it will represent regions that are not participants in the AFN. Resolution 61, which built upon resolution 60, is similarly against the charter for the same reasons, the review says. As such, it says, the resolutions can't be implemented. The firm also wrote that there were alleged conflicts of interest during the October vote, saying "numerous proxies were also employees, shareholders, directors, agents or otherwise had a vested interest" in the First Nations child and family service agencies whose interests were the subject of the resolutions. Chief Joe Miskokomon of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in southwestern Ontario called that "political deception." In response to that review, a board member of the Caring Society, which has been a vocal critic of the July deal, sought their own. The review penned by Aird Berlis for Mary Teegee and dated Dec. 2 stated it was "inappropriate for the AFN to seek, and not disclose, legal opinions which are then cited to attempt to second-guess decisions already made by the First Nations in Assembly." It also states that while the AFN's vice-president of strategic policy and integration, Amber Potts, raised concerns with the movers and seconders of the resolutions, the entirety of the legal opinion the assembly sought was not shared with them. Teegee's review challenges that of the AFN's by saying the resolutions are consistent with the AFN's charter, and that nothing restricts First Nations in assembly from expressing their sovereign will by delegating authority to another entity. "AFN's role and purpose at all times is to effect the sovereign will of First Nations, however it is expressed, on 'any matter' that they see fit," the review from Aird Berlis reads. "It is too late to attempt to question the resolutions. They are now final." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2024. Alessia Passafiume, The Canadian Press(The Center Square) – The latest federal numbers show the U.S. deficit is soaring as President Joe Biden heads out of office. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office released its monthly budget review on Monday, which showed that in the first two months of this fiscal year, the federal government has run up a deficit of $622 billion. “That amount is $242 billion more than the deficit recorded during the same period last fiscal year,” CBO said in its report . That figure means the deficit is nearly 40% higher than this time last year. “The most alarming turkey in November was the federal government’s inability to live within its means,” Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said in a statement. “We are only two months into the fiscal year, and we have already borrowed a staggering $622 billion, with $365 billion in the month of November alone." Deficits never surpassed one trillion dollars before the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, they remain well above one trillion and for this next fiscal year are well beyond the pace to surpass $1 trillion. The deficit last fiscal year was about $1.8 trillion. Billionaire Elon Musk, now an advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, lamented the debt, which is about $36 trillion, on X Monday. “If we don’t fix the deficit, everything will suffer, including essential spending like DoD, Medicare & Social Security,” Musk said. “It’s not optional.” CBO did explain that some of the increase is from accounting changes. From CBO: The change in the deficit was influenced by the timing of outlays and revenues alike. Outlays in October 2023 were reduced by shifts in the timing of certain federal payments that otherwise would have been due on October 1, 2023, which fell on a Sunday. (Those payments were made in September 2023.) Outlays in November 2024 were boosted by the shift to that month of payments due December 1, 2024, a Saturday. If not for those shifts, the deficit thus far in fiscal year 2025 would have been $541 billion, or $88 billion more than the shortfall at this point last year, and outlays would have been $38 billion more.”

Manchester United find themselves at a crossroads, with the decisions they make in the coming months likely to shape the future of the club for years to come.

Having won 155 caps since his debut in 2017, Timoney is one of the most experienced players in an increasingly youthful Ulster squad. However, when he was breaking through, the Dubliner admitted to being struck by how the departure of seasoned campaigners alters the team dynamic. "My first couple of years at Ulster, I remember there were loads of lads who left, the Tommys [Bowe], the Trimbys [Andrew Trimble], Roger Wilsons and Ruan Pienaars all left," recalled Timoney when asked about his close friend Greg Jones leaving the club earlier this year. "I remember thinking it's quite a striking element because the whole team dynamic seems to change. "I swore to myself that I'd never take it for granted, that people always come and go. You obviously get very close with people and you don't want to forget that. But when it's you that's been around longer and it's some of your friends that are going, it feels a little bit different. "It's the nature of it but it's tough, it's sad. Every year, there's reasoning and logic behind it, the progression, that's just the way it is and it'll be me one day as well, I'm sure." While several players have committed their long-term future to Ulster in recent months, Timoney - who is out of contract in the summer - is yet to pen a fresh deal. "I'd say there's a good chance, I don't know," he said when asked if he will be at Ulster next season. "I think everyone just wants to get things going in the right direction and see. I'm loving my time at Ulster. As much as there are disappointments and we're struggling at the moment, I have full faith we can get it going in the right direction again." Timoney has made three appearances for Ulster since returning from a frustrating autumn campaign with Ireland. While fellow Ulster forward Cormac Izuchukwu was handed his debut by head coach Andy Farrell, Timoney was denied a first cap in two years. "Pretty difficult, to be fair," Timoney said when asked about his conversation with Farrell. "I go into a campaign with Ireland thinking this is going to be the one that everything changes and I'll get another chance and get myself into that team properly. "I've done that in the last few [camps] but unfortunately it hasn't quite been coming for the last while. I haven't played in a couple of years. He told me to keep the faith and keep doing what I'm doing and keep pushing to get better." Rather than sulking, Timoney says he will use his recent lack of game-time with Ireland as fuel in his quest to become a regular fixture at Test level. "I certainly know I'm not the perfect player or finished product so you have to be real with yourself and your ego there," he admitted. "You're obviously upset but nobody owes the chance to play for Ireland. "It's not anyone else's problem, it's my problem. I have to get better and go harder every week and get to the point where they can't ignore me. That's probably on me if they feel they're not obligated to pick me. It's on me to play better and I've certainly been trying."US Outbound Investment Security Program Takes Effect January 2025

South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol will LIFT martial law just hours after stunning the world and declaring emergency Follow all the latest updates from South Korea in our MailOnline live blog By TARYN PEDLER Published: 22:09, 3 December 2024 | Updated: 22:15, 3 December 2024 e-mail 19 View comments South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said on Wednesday he would lift a martial law declaration he had imposed just hours before, backing down in a stunning standoff with parliament which rejected his attempt to ban political activity and censor the media. Yoon declared martial law on Tuesday night to thwart 'anti-state forces' among his opponents, but outraged lawmakers rejected the decree, in South Korea 's biggest political crisis in decades. South Korean Yonhap news agency said the cabinet had agreed in the early hours of Wednesday to scrap the martial law. Protesters outside parliament shouted and clapped while chanting 'We won!', and one demonstrator banged on a drum. Cho Kuk, head of a minor opposition party, met protesters outside parliament and said: 'This isn't over. He put all the people in shock.' He vowed to impeach Yoon by putting together votes from other parties. Yoon's surprise declaration of martial law, which he cast as aimed at his political foes, was unanimously voted down by 190 lawmakers in parliament. His own party urged him to lift the decree. Under South Korean law, the president must immediately lift martial law if parliament demands it by a majority vote. When Yoon retracted his decision on Wednesday morning, he said:' Dear citizens, I declared martial law at 11 o’clock last night with a firm will to save the country against anti-state forces that are trying to paralyse the essential functions of the state and destroy the constitutional order of liberal democracy.

'However, we request the National Assembly to immediately stop its reckless actions that paralyse the functions of the state through repeated impeachment, legislative manipulation, and budget manipulation'. The leader of South Korea's ruling party has now also called on the president to explain his decision to impose martial law. Han Dong-hoon, who leads the president's own People's Power Party, urged the president to 'personally and thoroughly explain this dire situation in detail'. Dong-hoon also called for the defence minister, who proposed the martial law, to be fired and others responsible to be 'held strictly accountable'.

After Yoon's announcement of martial law in a late-night television address, the military said activities by parliament and political parties would be banned, and that media and publishers would be under the control of the martial law command. Yoon did not cite any specific threat from the nuclear-armed North, instead focusing on his domestic political opponents. It is the first time since 1980 that martial law has been declared in South Korea.

Seemingly hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Assembly, waving banners and calling for Yoon's impeachment. Some protesters scuffled with troops ahead of the legislators' vote, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or major property damage. At least one window was broken as troops attempted to enter the Assembly building.

Under South Korea's constitution, the president can declare martial law during 'wartime, war-like situations or other comparable national emergency states' that require the use of military force to maintain peace and order.

'I will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalise the country,' he said, while asking the people to believe in him and tolerate 'some inconveniences'. Yoon, a career prosecutor who was elected in May 2022 by a margin of less than one per cent, has been unpopular, with his support ratings hovering at around 20 per cent for months. His People Power Party (PPP) suffered a landslide defeat at a parliamentary election in April this year, ceding control of the unicameral assembly to opposition parties that captured nearly two-thirds of the seats. Yoon's popularity has tanked in particular due to his dismissal of calls for independent investigations into scandals involving his wife and top officials – drawing quick, strong rebukes from his political rivals. Natalia Slavney, research analyst at Stimson Centre's 38 North website that focuses on Korean affairs, said Yoon's imposition of martial law was 'a serious backslide of democracy in South Korea' that followed a 'worrying trend of abuse' since he took office in 2022. 'It remains to be seen what the political fallout of this brief emergency martial law will be - both domestically and internationally. But South Korea has a robust history of political pluralism and is no stranger to mass protests and swift impeachments,' Slavney said.

That has led Borough President Vito Fossella to slam U.S. officials for their lack of transparency over drone activity in the United States. “What are we waiting for?” the borough president said in a prepared statement. The Times of London reported that two secret meetings of the Civil Contingencies Committee have been held by top U.K. officials after mystery drones buzzed American air bases in England. Concerns were heightened because the drones had technology so sophisticated that authorities have been unable to track them or identify those responsible, the Times said. Military officials have not ruled out the involvement of a hostile state but have expressed alarm that it has so far proved impossible to find the pilots responsible for controlling the drones. It was said that the drones were not programmed but were controlled in real time by live operators. Also known as COBRA or COBR, the meetings are convened to handle matters of national emergency or major disruption. Its purpose is to coordinate different departments and agencies in response to such emergencies. The meetings are held in the Cabinet Office Briefing Room in London and include top officials, including sometimes the British prime minister. “Our concern, from day one, has been the lack of transparency and clear understanding of these vast drone sightings,” Fossella said. “There were reports that even President Biden made attempts to determine what they were, and those attempts resulted in no credible information.” Said Fossella, “Each time our concerns are raised, we are told there is no public safety risk, even as our closest ally in Europe assesses the possibility that these drones may be operated by a foreign adversary.” He said, “If the United Kingdom can take this concern of public safety seriously, so can we. The federal government needs to do the right thing, sooner than later, and give the American public the answers they deserve.” The U.S. drone sightings were first reported in New Jersey five weeks ago and have spread to other parts of the country, including Staten Island and military bases across the U.S. Mystery drones have also been spotted over a U.S. military base in Germany. The Federal Aviation Administration has banned drones over certain areas of the country, including Staten Island, and has warned that deadly force could be used against operators who break the ban.

It’s not hard to understand the value tight end Josh Oliver brings to the Vikings. ADVERTISEMENT Just listen to the way people talk about him. “He’s an animal,” tight end T.J. Hockenson said. “Once he gets his hands on somebody, it’s kind of like, ‘Good luck.'” It was similar sentiment from offensive coordinator Wes Phillips. “He’s the best blocking tight end in the league, and that’s no disrespect to anybody else,” Phillips said. “We will take Josh over anybody in this league in the role that he’s in. It’s not only that he’s physically imposing as a 270-pound man. It’s the attitude that he plays with out there.” ADVERTISEMENT What are the Vikings losing now that Oliver has been ruled out with an ankle injury? His absence will be felt most when the Vikings try to run the ball against the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field. Though he has proved he can contribute in the passing game, Oliver has been a force in the running game since signing with the Vikings. There have been multiple times this season that Oliver had singlehandedly carved out space for running back Aaron Jones to go to work. That’s partially why Hockenson has played only about 50% of the offensive snaps since returning from a torn anterior cruciate ligament a few weeks ago. Even if the Vikings are often telegraphing a run when Oliver is on the field, they don’t care because they feel that strongly about his ability as a blocker. “You see it every single week,” Phillips said. “He’s moving large men and putting them on the ground.” ADVERTISEMENT It’s safe to assume Oliver would suit up for the Vikings if he were able to do so. He’s been playing through a wrist injury for the past few weeks, for example, and has still been extremely effective at the point of attack. How tough is it to replace Oliver in a vacuum? “It’s a big challenge because of all the things he does on a snap in and snap out basis,” head coach Kevin O’Connell said. “We will see some guys make some impacts on some different downs and distances than we have maybe seen up to this point.” ADVERTISEMENT Briefly The only other players on the injury report for the Vikings are tight end Nick Muse (hand) and edge rusher Gabe Murphy (knee). Both players were officially listed as questionable and being full participants in the walkthrough on Friday afternoon at TCO Performance Center. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.
