With the prime minister in Saudi Arabia, it fell to the foreign secretary to give a statement to the Commons on events in Damascus. Over the last decade or so, few subjects — arguably none, not even Brexit — has summoned as much sound and fury as Syria . There have been impassioned pleas to bomb it, not to bomb it, to bomb or not bomb its government force and to bomb or not bomb Islamic State terrorists within it. Lammy’s update was not such a seismic moment. Having to swallow something unpalatable, to say or do something you don’t want to say or do, is a fact of life in politics. But over the years, so willing has Lammy been to swallow absolutely anything at all that I don’t think I could honestly tell you what he actually enjoys swallowing, what he actually thinks, about anything.
China, US can achieve ‘great things’, says Beijing foreign minister BEIJING: China ́s foreign minister said on Tuesday that Beijing and Washington can achieve “many great things” if they work together, ahead of next month ́s inauguration of president-elect Donald Trump. But top diplomat Wang Yi also warned against what he called the US ́ “crude interference” on the issue of Taiwan. The world ́s two largest economies have butted heads on a range of issues in recent years, from trade and technology to human rights and China ́s growing assertiveness towards the self-ruled island of Taiwan. Wang said China ́s policy towards the United States “has not changed” during a Tuesday address in Beijing that reflected on the country ́s diplomatic work in the past year and its expectations for the future. He said that economic working groups and cooperation on cross-border drug control “fully prove that as long as China and the United States cooperate, we can accomplish many great things”. He also, however, repeated a warning over Taiwan, saying Beijing “resolutely opposed illegal and unreasonable suppression by the United States, especially its crude interference in China ́s internal affairs” including the status of the self-ruled island. “We must take a firm and strong response, resolutely defend our own legitimate rights and interests, and safeguard the basic norms of international relations,” Wang said. The China-US relationship may sour further after Trump is inaugurated on January 20, with the president-elect vowing more tariffs to punish what he calls unfair trade practices by China -- something Beijing firmly denies.Ange Postecoglou admits pressure is on Tottenham at pivotal point
Gov. Gavin Newsom embarked on a public relations tour of Central Valley desperately trying to rebrand his image of being out of touch to hard working Californians who have rejected his agenda. Born and raised in the Central Valley, I’m proud to call this region my home. Unfortunately for Gov. Newsom, our reasons for spurning his policies are grounded in the reality we see and the consequences of his actions. No amount of rhetoric can deflect from the damage we have endured. The challenges we face and the frustration we feel exist through California and have national and global impacts. The list of flawed policies continues to grow but let’s examine a few critical areas. With the energy production of California, the consequences are ever present as Californians endure rising gas prices and energy costs. This reality is a direct result of the actions of the Newsom Administration. Countless permits sit before the governor’s desk that would increase our production of oil and gas to increase affordable energy supplies. Gov. Newsom’s inaction has forced California to import energy from countries that don’t share our interest. Gov. Newsom has intentionally taken steps that have reduced our refining capacity that risks gasoline shortages. His words touting carbon capture are empty ones when his actions limits its use in oil exploration and prevents the needed construction of infrastructure needed for new technology to flourish. The reality of Newsom’s energy agenda is jobs are lost, business have left California, and residents struggle with growing costs. As the food production capital of California, the damage is just as stark. Gov. Newsom’s bureaucracy has limited the flow of water supplies to our businesses, farms and homes. Needed water storage projects languish in red tape and lack of investment. Pest outbreaks occur because inept bureaucrats limiting the use of needed tools to respond. California’s vibrant agriculture industry continues to persevere from the burdens of inaction and bad policies. The result is higher food costs and the loss of critical food products that we consume every single day. Gov. Newsom’s unworkable mandates on trucking, rail and port operations threaten our entire supply chain. Technologically infeasible regulations by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) to force electrification of truck and rail fleets could result in the majority of trucks and locomotives being unable to operate in California. This massive disruption only leads to higher costs for every single Californian. And as our region fights for more highway and road expansion, Gov. Newsom continues to be an obstacle preferring to throw billions of dollars at the mismanaged California High Speed Rail project instead of expanding our rural and urban roads and highways.

We see the fentanyl and human trafficking from his sanctuary state policies. We see businesses and residents leaving California because of the growing burdens of taxes and regulations. Gov. Newsom demonizes our industries and drives jobs away from our neighbors. This is why more and more Californians are waking up saying enough is enough and I look forward to working with the incoming Trump Administration to expand energy production, enhance our water supplies, secure our supply chain, and revitalize our economy. Our communities don’t need a lecture on how to feed and power the state and nation, we need Gov. Newsom to listen and undo his out of touch policies.

For the first time, Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a population of long-lived proteins in the ovaries which likely support the stability and longevity of the female reproductive system and may contribute to reproductive aging, according to a recent study published in eLife . "We've generated a resource for the field because now we have a catalog of long-lived proteins that we and others can now go after to understand mechanistically how they are contributing to reproductive aging," said Francesca Duncan, Ph.D., the Thomas J. Watkins Memorial Professor of Reproductive Science, and co-senior author of the study. As the body ages, all organ systems slowly decline in function. The female reproductive system, however, is one of the first organ systems to age, with fertility beginning to decrease in women in their mid-thirties and reproductive function stopping completely at menopause. Reproductive aging is also associated with a loss in egg quantity and quality, which can cause infertility, miscarriages and birth defects. "The mammalian ovary is comprised of a fixed and nonrenewable pool of long-lived cells , or oocytes . They have to remain functional for up to decades in humans, so you can imagine that these cells are extremely vulnerable to any sort of damage that happens over that period of time," said Duncan, who is also a member of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. To better understand the mechanisms that contribute to reproductive aging, Duncan teamed up with Jeffrey Savas, Ph.D., associate professor in the Ken and Ruth Davee Department of Neurology in the Division of Behavioral Neurology, to study the impact of the loss of protein function and quality in the ovaries and in oocytes, or egg cells that have not yet matured. "You can imagine that if you have proteins in a cell that are sticking around for long periods of time without turning over, that could lead to damage in a long-lived cell," Duncan said. Using a comprehensive protein identification technique developed by Savas, which involved multi-generational whole animal metabolic stable isotope labeling and mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic approaches, the investigators were able to visualize and identify ovarian and oocyte long-lived molecules and proteins from mice at specific time points relevant to female reproductive aging. "In the overall structure of the ovary, which contains oocytes and follicles, there's a lot of diversity in terms of cell types and very specialized proteins are expressed there, so it seemed like a rich organ to study this aspect of biology," said Savas, who is also a professor of Pharmacology and of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension. In the mice oocytes and ovaries, the investigators found that long-lived proteins persisted after six months. At 10 months, however, most of these proteins had turned over and degraded. They also found increased subtypes of proteins in the oocytes, including histone proteins and several cytoskeletal proteins, as well as organ-specific proteins, including the ZP3 protein, which helps mediate sperm binding to the egg during fertilization. Unexpectedly, the scientists also discovered a large percentage of these long-lived proteins were mitochondrial proteins; it is known that the mitochondria, the energy producing organelles of the cell, are essential for supporting egg quality. This may suggest that long-lived proteins are essential for ensuring the structural and functional integrity of oocytes, Duncan said. "We know that with age, there's deterioration of mitochondrial function, but long-lived proteins have never been implicated in the oocyte before, especially in terms of their mitochondria," Duncan said. "This would suggest that the 'scaffolding' of the egg is actually made very early on and ultimately probably built upon with new proteins as the egg develops. This changes our fundamental understanding of egg biology and how we think about how these cells manage being long-lived." The findings underscore the role long-lived proteins have in maintenance and age-dependent deterioration of the female reproductive system. The next steps in the investigation, according to Duncan, will be determining if these long-lived mitochondrial proteins are beneficial or damaging to oocytes over time and how this impacts overall egg quality and survival. "I think this study is an excellent example of how at Northwestern interdisciplinary research can come together in highly impactful ways. It's been incredibly exciting and rewarding to establish a common language and apply state-of-the-art technologies across disciplines to drive biology forward," Duncan said.

It’s the concluding episode of the retailer’s ‘Sweet Suspicion’ campaign created by Saatchi & Saatchi. Detective Matthew Macfadyen has solved the Christmas mystery that’s been gripping the nation of who stole the Waitrose dessert and surprisingly, not many people guessed correctly. To date, the campaign has amassed over 150 million views across social, TV and digital channels. Supported by a series of polls on the retailer’s online channels, customers ranked Fig the Cat as the top suspect, followed closely by Gamma and May, with the least suspicious being the devoted cook, Steve. The mystery is finally solved: it was Steve who orchestrated the daring dessert heist! The cunning mastermind stashed the red velvet treat in the gingerbread house, hidden in plain sight, only to be discovered mid-bite in the family garden shed, (almost) savoring his sweet victory. Dustin Demri-Burns, who plays food lover Steve commented: “I can fully empathise with Steve and his pud-thieving ways. The pressure of making Christmas wonderful can get to us all - sometimes we just want to eat our pudding in the shed and that’s ok.” Joe Wilkinson, who plays the part of Uncle Phil, added: “I’ve been getting accused left right and centre so I’m glad the public now knows that it WASN’T ME.” Advertisement The culprit is being revealed during the Great British Bake Off on Channel 4 and on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Franki Goodwin, chief creative officer at Saatchi & Saatchi said: “It's been especially fun to watch as all the other brilliant pieces of this campaign have come to life – from the partner T-shirts in stores to the celebrity sleuths, with all of our alibi content being as richly enjoyed as the main ad. So here it is... the big reveal!” AdvertisementAam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday targeted Union Minister Amit Shah over Delhi’s law-and-order situation, alleging that the city has turned into a “crime and extortion capital” under his watch. Mr. Kejriwal — a former Delhi Chief Minister — made the remarks at the Nangloi Jat Assembly segment where he had gone to meet a trader outside whose shop firing was reported on September 28 this year. “Daylight shootings and extortion cases have become common. We had never thought that Delhi would see such days. Unfortunately, Delhi has fallen into the hands of gangsters, with businessmen receiving extortion calls over their phones,” said Mr. Kejriwal attacking the Union Minister under whom Delhi Police comes. He also called the police action in the shooting case a “mere eyewash”, claiming that no headway has been achieved in the case so far. “The two men nabbed by the police are saying they had orders from higher-ups to carry out the shooting. Who’s the mastermind behind it? Who is orchestrating these incidents in Delhi? All of this is nothing but an eyewash. If we continue to act like this , we’ll only fool ourselves,” he added. ‘Accused arrested’ Meanwhile, Madhup Kumar Tewari, Special Commissioner (Law and Order), said the police had arrested the accused in the case within a day . “Delhi Police is capable of tackling such criminal activities,” he said. Mr. Kejriwal also alleged that BJP workers tried to stop his vehicle while he was on his way to meet the trader’s family. The BJP said he was shown black flags by local residents led by their North West Delhi Lok Sabha MP Yogender Chandoliya as the former Chief Minister showed concern over the shooting incident two months after it took place. Mr. Chandoliya accused the former CM of attempting to divert people’s attention from the AAP government’s “failures and corruption”. “It is a matter of concern if any family in Nangloi or elsewhere faces threats. However, when Kejriwal chooses to shed tears on November 27 for an incident that occurred in September, his ulterior motives become evident to the public,” he said. Earlier in the day, Mr. Kejriwal hosted a group of sanitation workers for tea at his residence and urged people to invite them to their houses. “Only when we all come together, our dream of a clean and beautiful Delhi will be fulfilled,” he said. Underlining the AAP government’s welfare plans, he said, “The first thing we did upon forming the government was to provide relief from inflation. We made electricity and water free for many households. They criticised me for this, saying Kejriwal wastes money and only thinks about the poor.” Eye on women voters Criticising the former Chief Minister, Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said Mr. Kejriwal has lost his political connect with the Valmiki community and claimed that the safai karamcharis who met him were regularly associated with AAP activities. Meanwhile, AAP sources said ahead of the Delhi Assembly election due in February next year, they are focusing on micro campaigns asking their volunteers to talk to groups of 15-20 women every day to highlight their government’s free water and electricity schemes. A party source said their campaign is being conducted on a seat-to-seat basis in contrast to the strategy they adopted ahead of the 2020 Assembly poll, when Mr. Kejriwal was the focus of their campaign. Mr. Kejriwal had quit as Chief Minister in September after the Supreme Court granted him a conditional bail in a case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy. The court had barred him from visiting his office or sign official files unless it was necessary to seek nod from the L-G.

NoneSACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California, home to some of the largest technology companies in the world, would be the first U.S. state to require on social media sites if lawmakers pass a bill introduced Monday. The legislation sponsored by state Attorney General Rob Bonta is necessary to bolster safety for children online, supporters say, but industry officials vow to fight the measure and others like it under the First Amendment. Warning labels for social media gained swift bipartisan support from dozens of attorneys general, including Bonta, after U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on Congress earlier this year, saying social media is a contributing factor in the mental health crisis among young people. “These companies know the harmful impact their products can have on our children, and they refuse to take meaningful steps to make them safer,” Bonta said at a news conference Monday. “Time is up. It’s time we stepped in and demanded change.” State officials haven’t provided details on the bill, but Bonta said the warning labels could pop up once weekly. Up to ages 13 to 17 say they use a social media platform, and more than a third say that they use social media “almost constantly,” according to 2022 data from the Pew Research Center. Parents’ concerns prompted Australia to banning social media for children under 16 in November. “The promise of social media, although real, has turned into a situation where they’re turning our children’s attention into a commodity,” Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, who authored the California bill, said Monday. “The attention economy is using our children and their well-being to make money for these California companies.” Lawmakers instead should focus on online safety education and mental health resources, not warning label bills that are “constitutionally unsound,” said Todd O’Boyle, a vice president of the tech industry policy group Chamber of Progress. “We strongly suspect that the courts will set them aside as compelled speech,” O’Boyle told The Associated Press. Victoria Hinks’ 16-year-old daughter, Alexandra, died by suicide four months ago after being “led down dark rabbit holes” on social media that glamorized eating disorders and self-harm. Hinks said the labels would help protect children from companies that turn a blind eye to the harm caused to children’s mental health when they become addicted to social media platforms. “There’s not a bone in my body that doubts social media played a role in leading her to that final, irreversible decision,” Hinks said. “This could be your story.” Common Sense Media, a sponsor of the bill, said it plans to lobby for similar proposals in other states. California in the past decade has positioned itself as a leader in regulating and fighting the tech industry to bolster online safety for children. The state was the first in 2022 to bar online platforms from using users’ personal information in ways that could harm children. It was one of the states that sued Meta in 2023 and for deliberately designing addictive features that keep kids hooked on their platforms. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, also in September to help curb the effects of social media on children, including one to prohibit social media platforms from knowingly providing addictive feeds to children without parental consent and one to on school campus. Federal lawmakers have held hearings on child online safety and to force companies to take reasonable steps to prevent harm. The legislation has the support of X owner Elon Musk and the President-elect’s son, . Still, the last federal law aimed at protecting children online was enacted in 1998, six years before Facebook’s founding.

NYC ad agency titans Omnicom and Interpublic to form $30 billion marketing powerhouse Omnicom is buying Interpublic Group in a stock-for-stock deal that will create an advertising powerhouse with combined annual revenue of almost $26 billion. The companies have had a hand in iconic marketing campaigns like “Got Milk” for the California Milk Processor Board, “Priceless” for Mastercard, “Because I’m Worth It” for L’Oreal and “Think Different” for Apple. The combined company will be worth more than $30 billion. Shares of Interpublic jumped more than 15% before the opening bell Monday, while Omnicom’s stock fell more than 2%. How should the opioid settlements be spent? Those hit hardest often don’t have a say People with substance use disorder are not getting a direct say on how most opioid settlement money is used. Some advocates say keeping them out of the process is a major reason money is going to law enforcement efforts instead of other programs more likely to prevent overdose deaths. Companies have agreed to pay more about $50 billion over time to resolve lawsuits filed by governments. Most of the money is required to be used to fight the crisis. Figuring out exactly to do with it is up to state and local governments that have used a variety of structures to make those decisions. The Onion's bid to buy Infowars goes before judge as Alex Jones tries stopping sale The Onion's bid to buy conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars has returned to a Texas courtroom. A federal judge in Houston is hearing arguments Monday on whether a bankruptcy auction was run properly as Jones alleges collusion and fraud. The hearing is expected to continue into Tuesday. The Onion satirical news outlet was named the winning bidder last month over a company affiliated with Jones. The auction was held to help pay nearly $1.5 billion in defamation judgments that Jones was ordered to pay families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The families won lawsuits against Jones for calling the shooting a hoax. It's his job to keep American's planes running on time FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — It's the job of American Airlines' chief operating officer to make sure the carrier's flights take off on time and fly safely during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. David Seymour oversees flight and airport operations for American, which expects to make about 6,500 flights a day between now and New Year’s Day. A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army infantry officer, Seymour has held a variety of operations-related jobs and was promoted to his current post in 2020. He spoke with The Associated Press recently about managing huge passenger numbers during the holidays and preventing people from getting on a plane before their boarding group is called. Stock market today: Nvidia drags Wall Street from its records as oil and gold rise NEW YORK (AP) — A slide for market superstar Nvidia helped pull U.S. stock indexes down from their records. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% Monday, coming off its 57th all-time high of the year so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite dropped 0.6% from its own record. Nvidia was the market's heaviest weight after China said it's probing the chip giant for potential antitrust violations. Stocks in Hong Kong jumped after top Chinese leaders agreed on a “moderately loose” monetary policy. Prices for oil and gold rose following the ouster of Syrian leader Bashar Assad. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour ends by shattering own record, grossing an estimated $2.2B, Pollstar says NEW YORK (AP) — Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour brought in approximately $2.2 billion in its nearly two-year run, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time for a second year in a row. That's according to Pollstar estimates from data collected across 149 shows and provided to The Associated Press on Monday. Last year, Swift’s landmark Eras Tour became the first to cross the billion-dollar mark. In North America, Swift’s tour earned an estimated $1.04 billion. Globally, that number jumps to an estimated $2.2 billion. Pollstar data is pulled from box office reports, venue capacity estimates, historical Pollstar venue ticket sales data, and other undefined research, collected from November 2022 to December 2024. Cyprus and the US double down on a joint effort to combat financial crimes with more training NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus and the U.S. say they’re doubling down on a joint effort to crack down on illicit finance with additional training of Cypriot law enforcement authorities to identify, investigate and prosecute financial crimes. According to a joint statement issued Monday, an “ambitious” plan for next year will involve 21 weeks of training for different Cypriot law enforcement agencies on financial investigative and forensic accounting techniques, as well as the use of technology in investigations. The plan adds to a U.S. initiative launched 20 months ago following a pledge by Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides to clean up the island nation’s sullied reputation as a money laundering and sanctions evasion hub. Mexican soldiers will get a pay raise after elimination of oversight agencies, president says MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's president says much of the money gained by eliminating independent oversight and regulatory agencies will go to the army to fund a rise in soldiers’ pay. The announcement by President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday is the latest in a a series of strange funding sources to pay for the country's increasingly influential military. Mexico's Congress last week approved charging every cruise ship passenger a $42 immigration fee with much of that money also going to the armed forces. The military has been given powers to build and run everything from railways, airports and airlines in Mexico. And some of those projects appear to be losing money. Nvidia's stock dips after China opens probe of the AI chip company for violating anti-monopoly laws Shares of Nvidia have slipped after China said it is investigating the high-flying U.S. microchip company over suspected violations of Chinese anti-monopoly laws. In a brief press release with few details, Chinese regulators appear to be looking into Nvidia’s $6.9 billion 2019 acquisition of network and data transmission company Mellanox. Nvidia shares dipped 2.7% in early trading Monday, falling below $139 each. Considered a bellwether for artificial intelligence demand, Nvidia has led the AI sector to become one of the stock market’s biggest companies, as tech giants spend heavily on the company’s chips and data centers needed to train and operate their AI systems. Meta shareholders seek sanctions for Sandberg, Zients for deleting Cambridge Analytica emails WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Attorneys for Meta shareholders are asking a Delaware judge to sanction former Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and fellow Facebook board member and current White House chief of staff Jeff Zients for deleting emails related to the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal. The plaintiffs say Sandberg and Zients used personal email accounts to communicate about key issues relating to their 2018 shareholder lawsuit alleging that Facebook official failed for years to protect the privacy of user data. The plaintiffs say the former board members were either “reckless or intentional” in destroying documents, even after being told to preserve records for litigation purposes. A defense attorney argued Monday that there was no intent or “grand scheme” to destroy relevant documents.BRENDAN RODGERS has hinted he could extend his Celtic stay beyond 2026.

Are you tracking your health with a device? Here’s what could happen with the dataTexas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham poses for a photo in front of a new section of the state-funded border wall in a 1,400-acre ranch as a site offered to the incoming Trump administration for detention centres, near Rio Grande City, Texas, US. (Picture credit: Reuters) Texas has proposed additional land for deportation centres to the Trump administration, naming the initiative after Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl allegedly raped and murdered by illegal migrants. This move aims to fast-track the construction of facilities to detain and deport violent criminal migrants . Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham announced the expansion of the state’s offer, providing more identified land ready for use “on Day One” of Trump’s presidency. The initiative, named the Jocelyn initiative, honours the young girl and seeks to prevent similar tragedies. Jocelyn’s family stood in support of the project, with her grandmother emphasising, "We’re taking back hope so that no other families go through what we have." Buckingham previously offered a 1,400-acre border ranch and said the state remains committed to helping remove “violent criminals” residing illegally. As per The New York Post, Trump’s border czar pick, Tom Homan, confirmed the new administration’s intent to use Texas’ land for this initiative. Homan noted that the US military would assist with non-enforcement tasks to free up officers for deportation efforts. As per the BBC, these detention facilities would serve as a pivotal part of Trump’s larger plan for mass deportations, which includes targeting violent undocumented migrants. However, this proposal may face challenges from Democratic-led states, which have vowed non-cooperation. Despite bipartisan concerns, Republican officials like Texas GOP Representative Chip Roy vowed to seek reimbursement for the state's ongoing expenses related to border security.
