Sunday's attacks in northern and central Israel came in response to deadly Israeli strikes in central Beirut on Saturday. Israel struck southern Beirut on Sunday. Meanwhile, negotiators press on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. And Lebanon's military says an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center in the southwest killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. Israel's military has expressed regret and said its operations are directed solely against the militants. Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed. The government arrests 3 TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel says the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found, citing Emirati authorities. The UAE’s Interior Ministry said authorities arrested three perpetrators involved in the killing of Zvi Kogan. The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday said Kogan was killed, calling it a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.” It said: “The state of Israel will act with all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death." Kogan went missing on Thursday, and there were suspicions he had been kidnapped. His disappearance comes as Iran has been threatening to retaliate against Israel after the two countries traded fire in October. Somalia says 24 people have died after 2 boats capsized in the Indian Ocean MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's government says 24 people died after two boats capsized off the Madagascar coast in the Indian Ocean. Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi said 46 people were rescued. Most of the passengers were young Somalis, and their intended destination remains unclear. Many young Somalis embark every year on dangerous journeys in search of better opportunities abroad. A delegation led by the Somali ambassador to Ethiopia is scheduled to travel to Madagascar on Monday to investigate the incident and coordinate efforts to help survivors. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. Moscow offers debt forgiveness to new recruits and AP sees wreckage of a new Russian missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine. The measure, whose final version appeared on a government website Saturday, underscores Russia’s needs for military personnel in the nearly 3-year-old war, even as it fired last week a new intermediate-range ballistic missile. Russia has ramped up military recruitment by offering increasing financial incentives to those willing to fight in Ukraine. Ukraine’s Security Service on Sunday showed The Associated Press wreckage of the new intermediate-range ballistic missile that struck a factory in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Sunday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast last week, killing two people. After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump's victory has dismayed many politically engaged Black women, and they're reassessing their enthusiasm for politics and organizing. Black women often carry much of the work of getting out the vote, and they had vigorously supported the historic candidacy of Kamala Harris. AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters, found that 6 in 10 Black women said the future of democracy was the single most important factor for their vote this year, a higher share than for other demographic groups. But now, some Black women are renewing calls to emphasize rest, focus on mental health and become more selective about what fight they lend their organizing power to. Pakistani police arrest thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of rally in the capital ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani security officer says police have arrested thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of a rally in Islamabad to demand the ex-premier’s release from prison. Khan has been behind bars for more than a year. But he remains popular and his party says the cases against him are politically motivated. Police Sunday arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters in eastern Punjab province, a Khan stronghold. They include five parliamentarians. Pakistan has sealed off the capital with shipping containers. It also suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns.” Uruguay's once-dull election has become a dead heat in the presidential runoff MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguayans are heading to the polls to choose their next president. In Sunday's election, the candidates of the conservative governing party and the left-leaning coalition are locked in a close runoff after failing to win an outright majority in last month’s vote. It's a hard-fought race between Álvaro Delgado, the incumbent party’s candidate, and Yamandú Orsi from the Broad Front, a coalition of leftist and center-left parties that governed for 15 years until the 2019 victory of center-right President Luis Lacalle Pou — overseeing the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage and the sale of marijuana in the small South American nation.None

‘I felt like I belonged’: Paddlers with disabilities find a second home in sport of dragon boatA probate court has ruled against in a petition to change the terms of his succession plan to ensure that his eldest son Lachlan remains in charge of his conservative media empire after his death, , citing a sealed document. A Nevada commissioner on Saturday found that Murdoch acted in “bad faith” in attempting to change the terms of the irrevocable family trust — the instrument through which he controls News Corp. and Fox, according to the report. As currently constructed, the trust gives equal voting shares to his four eldest children. Although Lachlan is currently chair of News Corp., he could be stripped of his title by his siblings, largely seen as more politically moderate and have banded together to oppose revisions to the trust. Edmund J. Gorman Jr. concluded that the legal maneuver initiated by Murdoch is a “carefully crafted charade” to cement Lachlan’s control. He ruled against Murdoch that maintaining Fox as a conservative political media force by ensuring that Lachlan’s brothers and sisters won’t be able to wrest control of the company from him and moderate its coverage is in the best interest of all of the media juggernaut’s beneficiaries. Lawyers for Murdoch and James, Elisabeth and Prudence didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Adam Streisand, representing Murdoch, told the that an appeal is planned. The case now moves to a district court, which will decide whether to accept a recommended resolution by the commissioner. More litigation could follow. A two-week saga in a Nevada court, which kept the proceedings and filings under seal, examined proposed changes to the trust. It was revealed that Lachlan initiated plans to change the trust when he began to suspect that James, who’s no longer with the company, was planning to oust him after their father’s death. He allegedly introduced the plan last year at a special meeting of the trust. “Today is about Dad’s wishes and confirming all of our support for him and for his wishes,” he wrote in a text message to Elisabeth the day of the meeting, reported the . “It shouldn’t be difficult or controversial. Love you, Lachlan.” To solidify Lachlan as his successor, Murdoch had to prove that the changes are being implemented in good faith, with the purpose of benefiting all of the trust’s members. James, who at one point was seen as the heir apparent to his father’s media empire but lost a power struggle to his brother, has taken aim at his family’s business. He stepped down from the News Corp. board in 2020 due to “disagreements over certain editorial content published by the company’s news outlets.” He could have been alluding to Fox’s coverage that the election was stolen, which has led to at least three against the board, plus a $787.5 million payout to Dominion Voting Systems. Voting technology company Smartmatic continues to pursue a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against the network.

Sharon Hogan addresses Bad Sister's twist Award-winning Irish writer, producer and actress Sharon Horgan has been on a worldwide promotional tour for the latest season of her show ‘Bad Sisters,’ and she made time to stop off at Donnybrook studios on Friday. The second series of the hit show has received mixed reviews , and Horgan admitted to being “nervous” about the reaction, particularly from an Irish audience. Anyone who has watched the show will know there’s a particularly shocking twist early on in the latest instalment, and host Patrick Kielty was keen to ask Horgan just how hard it was to write. “It was really difficult,” she wrote. “We went sort of back and forth on whether we were actually going to do it or not. “We do a terrible thing,” she acknowledges, but says it was important to her to be “brutally honest about what can happen when you're in a terrible abusive relationship”. "I love the end of the first season, but it sort of had a, you know, perfect ending. “I was really interested in telling the story of what the reality is of a woman like that [who] is vulnerable and mistreated for so many years, who's been very isolated by that relationship, and what happens when she finds herself in a terrible situation and she can't reach out to her family, because she's so used to doing things on her own." In a lighter moment, the mum-of-two shared the story behind what happened when Prince Edward, the UK's Duke of Edinburgh, visited the Apple TV studios where Horgan and her Garvey sister co-stars were filming. A post shared by Irish Examiner (@irish_examiner) “We heard he was coming down, that he was on his way, but we didn’t know how far away he was... we thought it would be hilarious... we just got really bratty... and we started singing the Irish national anthem.” That went down a treat with the Late Late Show live studio audience. A frosty interview with Piers Morgan There was a noticeable charge on stage as Piers Morgan sat down for a chat with Kielty. The controversial British broadcaster started the interview by explaining his YouTube show 'Piers Morgan Uncensored'. "We get people on both sides," he said. "Smart people, [I] don't like dummies. You can't come on, unfortunately.." The host of the Late Late let that one slide, but throughout the interview pushed back on some of Morgan's claims - including the broadcaster's insistence that his views are not controversial, but "common sense". At one stage, when Morgan repeated that Kielty might categorise some of his views as controversial, the Co Down man shot back "I categorise some of your views as wrong" to cheers from the Late Late audience. Asked which of his views he'd categorise as controversial, Kielty suggested Morgan's support of newly re-elected and former US President, Donald Trump. "I didn't support him, I said he'd win," Morgan responded. "If he called you in the morning, would you take a job?" Kielty fired back. "No, I wouldn't," Morgan insisted, "I am a journalist, I don't take jobs with administrations in government. Absolutely not." Elsewhere in the conversation, Morgan revealed he once heard Trump listening to Sinéad O'Connors 'Nothing Compares 2 U' - which went down like a lead balloon with the audience - and also disclosed he is "actually Irish". "I've got Galway roots," he said, "so I do feel like I'm one of you, even if you'd rather I wasn't." Russell Kane does a Cork accent Russell Kane also appeared on the show, promoting his upcoming tour dates in Ireland next May. Presently, the English comedian has shows in Dublin, Killarney and Waterford, but he revealed he’s mad to add a Cork date to his tour next summer. “You can’t offend them!” he claimed. And perhaps, to test his theory, followed it up by doing his impersonation of a Leeside accent. “It’s like someone's put spanners in a cement truck!” he exclaimed. We're not sure how many tickets that will have shifted... Plus, a stand-out musical performance Cork singer-songwriter Allie Sherlock appeared on the show to perform her new song ‘How Love Works’. The Douglas native, who has over 14m followers on social media, is a regular on Dublin’s Grafton Street where she often draws a significant crowd while singing covers and her own original material. Tonight, her voice was spellbounding as she sat at a baby grand piano and sang of ‘wanting to know how love works’. Well worth a rewatch.None

Article content Exiting Alberta on a snowy evening can be an affordable yuletide adventure riding Via Rail’s The Canadian to Vancouver. The romance of the rails isn’t just a thing of the art deco travel posters of the 1920s. Depending on your accommodation choices, The Canadian offers unique opportunities to enjoy the paragon of design before her mid-century elegance gets a new flagship. If you don’t want to leave the ground or skid around on the highway to the coast, consider trundling through picture-perfect scenery by rail at a leisurely pace over 30 to 36 hours toward temperatures that can easily be 30 degrees warmer than Edmonton — but accommodations can feel cramped or spacious, depending on what you need (and what you pay for). You can wish for a glimpse of a moose, lynx or bear while hoping that for their own wild sakes, they stay far away from the Iron Horse. Chances are very good of spotting nimble and athletic mountain sheep from the resident Jasper herd, sure-footed at various elevations on the steep mountainside. While The Canadian is pulled over in a remote siding for 20 minutes and snow falls on the lounge like an inside-out snowglobe, you can sip an Okanagan wine to the tune of live music — on our journey, the folk singer-songwriter duo of Zach and Brie — and you may be able to observe an adult male elk browsing on dried foliage like it were prime Alberta hay, just a few feet from your window. Glimpses of Canada’s economy drivers are frequent, from pumpjacks harvesting oil to sheaves of railroad ties piled like giant beaver dams. You can watch Canada’s heavy industry roll west on wheels while imports zing inland in containers. A sleep through much of B.C.’s interior, and then before you know it, the rain-swollen rivers and berry farms of the Fraser Valley and the working waterfront, tugs, and bridge-building of the busy port of Vancouver, Western Canada is on parade. Challenges of time and space Variations of cruising and sleeping vary widely and must be chosen carefully in advance. With a full train and another one not coming along for a few more days, what you picked is what you get. If you have top-dollar cash, consider the sumptuous leather-panelled Cadillac car, which has a private bar and an elevated viewing lounge. Private sleeper-plus cabins come with elevated price tags, but depending on your size and mobility, it may be challenging to get up the small ladder to the top bunk or even into your own private bathroom. If you want the convenience of being able to nap prone but don’t hanker for the compressed realities of a sleeper cabin, consider a lower berth. A regular lower berth may be the best value for the money for those who are older or not too limber. Families can tuck kids accustomed to bunkie sleeping up in the top berths. The berths fold up for comfortable sitting during the day. Space is at a premium — think carry-on or backpack or both. Standard suitcases must be stowed in the baggage car. Travelling by day and stopping off at points like Jasper or Kamloops is more affordable — but journey legs will be ticketed separately. If you have the time, it offers an affordable option, again, compared to the luxury of a cabin. Among the challenges: a stripped-down winter schedule means there won’t be another train along in an hour — or even in a day — and due to the finite number of rail systems and the volume of freight, layovers in sidings can wreak havoc on arrivals and departures. Don’t expect the timing to be perfect — watch those connections, and allow plenty of time. The country’s only cross-country passenger train can spend unscheduled time laying over in a siding when it’s a freight train’s turn to go through. Or a bunch of them. A plan to catch a train in Edmonton at 12:08 a.m. can turn into boarding at 4:45 a.m. and finally pulling out at 6:30 a.m. Even if the time is mostly made up, lickety-split, arrival can be two hours late in Vancouver, which can affect forward connections to Vancouver Island or out of Vancouver International Airport. Downloading the free ViaRail app will help track actual departure times. And though you’re bound for fairer weather, bring those gloves as the handrails to clamber up steep steps into the car can be brittle cold. We observed a slight side-to-side sway sometimes but none of the ups and downs that can lead to motion sickness on rough seas — just some slight jiggles in the vestibules between cars as you go through passenger sleeper cars to the activities car (stocked with games, puzzles, tea, coffee, and snacks of pastries, granola bars.) In the forward dining car, art deco-tinged Noritake ironstone is laid out with white linens amid birds of Canada etched into glass panels. Diners are assigned seating windows and good meals are served family style. Those travelling with sleeper-plus privileges can enjoy entrees like rack of lamb, maple-dijon glazed chicken and succulent blackened salmon. Wines and beers can be ordered for an additional charge, depending on your ticket class. There are three-prong outlets for sleep apnea machines or charging devices in the private cabins, but not in the berths, as of our journey on Dec. 19. At the Vancouver end — historic Pacific Station. A taxi to the Vancouver International Airport runs in the vicinity of $45. A bus to a shuttle to the Tsawwassen ferry was on time — but the train was late. Hertz has a rental outlet but arrangements in advance are recommended. A few nearby hotels may offer pickup from in-house shuttles. If you’re visiting Vancouver Island and returning to Edmonton via commercial airline, Westjet and Air Canada offer flights from Victoria, Nanaimo, and Comox so you save on ferries and time.

Unretired two-time Pro Bowl LB Shaquil Barrett signs to resume career with Tampa Bay BuccaneersNone

A member of the Vancouver Police Board was asked to resign after social media posts surfaced that made her continued service on the oversight body “untenable,” according to the chair. Comfort Sakoma-Fadguba was serving as the board’s vice-chair when screen shots of comments posted to Instagram began circulating Friday. The Instagram account has since been set to private. In a series of posts Sakoma -Fadguba expounded on – among other things – the impact of multiculturalism on “Canadian values,” the importance of Canada “staying true” to its Christian heritage, and the need to move past “woke culture.” Board chair Frank Chong posted a statement to the board’s website over the weekend, saying he had asked for and received Sakoma-Fadguba’s resignation. “Recent statements posted on social media by the vice chair of the Vancouver Police Board do not reflect the values of the board and are inconsistent with our code of conduct,” Chong wrote. “While I value the many contributions Comfort Sakoma-Fadugba has made as a member of this Board since 2022, these statements have made her continued service on the board untenable.” Sakoma-Fadugba’s profile has been removed from the board’s website, but a social media post announcing her appointment in 2022 described her as having “an impressive background in business, community service and expanding equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of life.” CTV News has reached out to Sakoma-Fadguba for comment. This story will be updated if a response is received.
