NoneMixed reactions to Tjibaou's election to New Caledonia pro-independence partyRussia stocks higher at close of trade; MOEX Russia Index up 1.18%Wide receiver Diontae Johnson was claimed off waivers by the Texans on Monday, according to multuple reports. Johnson will now get a fresh start in Houston as it looks to fill a hole with the loss of Tank Dell, who suffered a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap during the Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, further stretching an already thin receiver group outside of Nico Collins. Johnson’s time with the Ravens was far from perfect during his seven weeks with the franchise after Baltimore acquired the receiver in a trade with the Panthers on Oct. 29. The 28-year-old played just 39 snaps for the Ravens along with making just one catch for six yards before he was cut on Friday. But the bigger issues came off the field as he was suspended for one game after he refused to play against the Eagles in Week 13 and was excused from team activities last week. Before the trade from Carolina, Johnson had 30 catches for 357 yards and three touchdowns this season. In five seasons with the Steelers, he had 391 receptions for 4,363 yards and 25 touchdowns. Johnson’s lone 1,000-plus-yard season came in 2021. The interesting twist to the whole scenario is that the Texans and Ravens will face one another on Christmas Day. The Chiefs, Chargers and Steelers were reported to be potential landing spots for Johnson after he had been waived on Friday. However, the Texans were clearly in need of a receiver once Dell’s situation became as serious as it did. “That s–t hurts. It hurts. We know how much he meant to this team,” Collins said of Dell, per ESPN. “But losing one of your brothers, man, it hurts. Speedy recovery for my dog. Mentally, he’s going through it, but we have to keep stepping, keep climbing for him.”
KUWAIT CITY, Nov 27: The issue of preserving Kuwaiti national identity continues to be a top priority, with authorities taking rigorous measures to address cases of citizenship forgery. Acting Prime Minister Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, who also chairs the Supreme Committee for the Investigation of Kuwaiti Nationality, confirmed during an appearance on the “60 Minutes” program on Al-Akhbar Channel that citizenship withdrawal and revocation fi les are being reviewed with meticulous precision. The committee holds weekly meetings (every Thursday) to evaluate these cases, following a detailed study conducted by the Nationality Department and a preliminary review by the Council of Ministers. The following are the key developments: Rigorous Investigations — Colonel Abdulaziz Al-Amiri, Director of the Nationality Investigations Department, highlighted the complexity of uncovering forgery cases, especially those involving documents that are decades old. External and internal correspondences are often required to verify claims, particularly when the forgery involves foreign entities. Impact of Loopholes — Loopholes in the Nationality Law, such as those allowing the naturalization of Kuwaiti wives under Article 8, have been exploited. Al-Amiri revealed statistics showing that women from 66 different nationalities were naturalized under this article. Cases of forgery related to “unknown parentage” and fraudulent birth registrations outside Kuwait were also identified. Technological Advancements — The adoption of biometric fingerprinting has significantly enhanced the ability to detect forgeries and duplication. For instance, discrepancies in fingerprints uncovered cases of dual identities and forged citizenship. Widespread Forgery Cases — A single individual was found to have facilitated citizenship for 132 people, with 56 of them fraudulently employed, costing the state over KD 400,000 annually. One woman obtained citizenship under two separate articles using dual identities, allowing her to access additional social welfare benefits. Statistics and Future Measures — Colonel Turki Al-Sabah, Assistant Director of the Nationality Department, disclosed that 4,447 individuals have had their citizenship withdrawn or revoked as of now, with investigations ongoing and numbers expected to rise. Amendments to the Nationality Law have addressed previous loopholes, including suspending the automatic naturalization of Kuwaiti spouses. Authorities stressed that reviewing nationality files is a meticulous, multistage process requiring extensive research and verification. Public cooperation and the strengthening of department capabilities have been crucial in intensifying these efforts. The government remains committed to addressing all cases of forgery to safeguard Kuwait’s national identity and legal integrity. Meanwhile, Colonel Turki Mishaal Al-Sabah, Assistant Director of the Nationality Department at the Ministry of Interior, has stated that foreign wives of Kuwaiti citizens are no longer automatically naturalized and any new loopholes identified in the future will be addressed, reports Al-Seyassah daily. He explained the criteria for loss or withdrawal of nationality applies to those who voluntarily acquire foreign citizenship; naturalized individuals who obtained it fraudulently, engaged in acts against public order or national interests, or were convicted of crimes compromising honor or integrity. This is in addition to dependents of these individuals may also face withdrawal. He further detailed exclusions under Article 5, which includes naturalization based on noble deeds, at the discretion of the HH the Amir; individuals born to Kuwaiti mothers; individuals registered in the 1965 census awaiting decrees for naturalization. Colonel Al-Sabah also pointed to instances of fraud, such as divorced women remarrying their former spouses abroad to secure citizenship for their children and cases involving forged census data or illegal residency. He stressed that negligence in registering a child’s birth or obtaining their citizenship could lead to criminal investigations, child neglect charges and denial of the child’s citizenship rights. The Colonel underscored the importance of vigilance and compliance with nationality laws to uphold the integrity of citizenship records in Kuwait. Al-Seyassah/Arab Times Staff

Romania's political landscape is reeling after a little-known, far-right populist secured the first round in the presidential election, going from an obscure candidate to beating the incumbent prime minister. Calin Georgescu, who ran independently, will face off against reformist Elena Lasconi in a Dec. 8. runoff. Georgescu, 62, was ahead after nearly all ballots were counted with around 22.95% of the vote. Lasconi, of the progressive Save Romania Union party, or USR, followed with 19.17%. She beat by a slim margin incumbent Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu of the Social Democratic Party, or PSD, who stood at 19.15%. George Simion, the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians took 13.87%. It is the first time in Romania’s 35-year post-communist history for the PSD not to have a candidate in the second round of a presidential race, serving a huge blow to the country’s most powerful party and underscoring voters’ anti-establishment sentiment. Ciolacu's shocking defeat prompted him to submit his resignation as party leader on Monday. After polls closed on Sunday, 9.4 million people — about 52.5% of eligible voters — had cast ballots, according to the Central Election Bureau. Georgescu won 43.3% of the vote in Romania's large diaspora, compared to Lasconi who got 26.8%. Most local surveys predicted he would win less than 10% of the vote. Nicolae Ciuca, a former army general and president of the center-right National Liberal Party, also resigned as party leader on Monday after obtaining just 8.7% of the vote. The president serves a five-year term in the European Union and NATO member country and has significant decision-making powers in areas such as national security, foreign policy and judicial appointments. After casting his ballot on Sunday, Georgescu said in a post on Facebook that he voted “for the unjust, for the humiliated, for those who feel they do not matter and actually matter the most ... the vote is a prayer for the nation.” According to his website, Georgescu holds a doctorate in pedology, a branch of soil science, and held different positions in Romania’s environment ministry in the 1990s. Between 1999 and 2012, he was a representative for Romania on the national committee of the United Nations Environment Program. Despite not having a clear political agenda, his videos on TikTok are popular, amassing 1.7 million likes. But his rising popularity will be tested when he faces Lasconi. Lasconi, a former journalist and the leader of the USR, has been running on an anti-corruption reformist agenda. She told The Associated Press ahead of the vote that she saw corruption as one of Romania's biggest problems and expressed support for increased defense spending and continued aid to Ukraine. If she wins the final vote, she will be the first female president in Romania's history. Romania will also hold parliamentary elections on Dec. 1 that will determine the country’s next government and prime minister.Christopher Wray's Resignation As FBI Head Mocked As 'Anticipatory Obedience'
