SA chased down a tricky target of 148 on the fourth day of the Boxing Day Test match against Pakistan. Kagiso Rabada played an important role in the chase and remained unbeaten on 31 off 26 balls. SA lost their 8th wicket for 99 and the onus was on all-rounder Marco Jansen and senior player, Rabada to finish the job. Rabada, who is a frontline pacer, stepped up with the bat and scored quickly. He put the pressure back on the Pakistan bowlers and played freely. Kagiso Rabada creates history with bat Kagiso Rabada created history with the bat as he remained unbeaten on 31 off 26 balls. He broke a 108-year-old record and became the SA batsman with the highest score at number 10 position or below in successful chases. He broke Percy Sherwall's record, who scored an unbeaten 22 against England in Johannesburg in 1906. After more than 100 years, Rabada emulated Sherwall's heroics and won the game for SA. Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma's contributions in chase Aiden Markram continued to hold one end as SA lost 3 early wickets in the chase. Tony de Zorzi managed to score 2 while Ryan Rickelton (0) and Tristan Stubbs (1) failed with the bat. Markram and Temba Bavuma (40) added crucial 43 runs for the fourth wicket with the opening batsman departing for 37. SA once again lost the plot after Bavuma's wicket but Rabada and Jansen did the job with the bat. Corbin Bosch made a memorable Test debut and took a four-fer in Pakistan's first innings. He remained unbeaten on 81 as SA scored 301 in their first innings. SA, who will aim to clinch the series 2-0, will host Pakistan in the 2nd Test at Newlands in Cape Town from January 3 to 7.

Aston Villa denied last-gasp winner in Juventus stalemate

Although blind people cannot see, they often still possess the brain regions that enable vision. Does this mean that blind people can dream in visual images? In some cases, they can. A 2014 study found that people who were not born blind but had lost their vision later in life sometimes reported visual experiences in their dreams. These dreams likely drew from memories from when they still had sight. However, the earlier a person had lost their vision in life, and the longer they were blind, the less likely they were to see images in dreams, the study noted. "A person blind at age 7 or before who has been blind for, say, 20 years, loses virtually all visual experiences in their dreams," study co-author Maurice Ptito , a visual neuroscientist at the University of Montreal, told Live Science. When it comes to people who are congenitally blind — those born without vision — "dreams tend to rely more heavily on other senses such as hearing, touch, taste and smell," Monica Gori , a cognitive neuroscientist at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, told Live Science. Most studies suggest visual experiences are generally absent in the dreams of those who are blind from birth. "However, there are a few dream studies that have challenged this notion," Ivana Rosenzweig , head of the Sleep and Brain Plasticity Centre at King's College London, told Live Science. Related: Why can't we remember our dreams? For instance, a 2003 study in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences reported that people with congenital blindness who were scanned with electrodes on their scalps as they slept had evidence of brain waves associated with vision.

The Xreal One Series features the X1 chip which is the company's first self-designed processor for its glasses. Xreal Xreal on Wednesday launched its latest generation of augmented reality (AR) glasses as it looks to fend off competition from the likes of Meta and Snap . The company, which is backed by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba , is hoping to capitalize on the growing interest in AR glasses. The Xreal One Series features the X1 chip which is the company's first self-designed processor for its glasses and marks a big step for the product's capabilities. Xreal talks up the ability for wearers of its glasses to be able to connect to devices such as a phone, laptop or games console, and see their content on a huge digital screen in front of them. The previous generation of Xreal's product required a companion device called the Beam for connections to a device, but the latest chip means that the Beam is not required. "I think that it's the biggest upgrade in Xreal history and probably the biggest upgrade for the entire consumer AR glasses [sector]," Chi Xu, CEO of Xreal, told CNBC in an interview. The X1 chip was in the works for three years, Xu said, adding that he sees it as a way to increase the capabilities of the glasses to differentiate from the competition. "We have to step up to define a chip that is really defining some of the new features for these types of glasses," Xu said. Xreal is one of the biggest players in the AR glasses space, but it is facing intense competition from the likes of Snap, which unveiled a new set of its Spectacles in September , as well as Facebook parent Meta's continued efforts with the Meta Ray-Ban product . Meanwhile, CNBC reported this year that Qualcomm is working on a set of glasses with Google and Samsung. Xreal is among the companies that are betting on glasses — rather than large headsets like Apple's Vision Pro or the Meta Quest — to be the mass-market winners in AR. "People have started to realize a headset doesn't make sense, we need to go to lighter form factors to the glasses category," Xu said. "But the challenge for glasses is can we push the limit to deliver a headset experience on a much smaller form factor?" The Xreal One and Xreal One Pro start at $499 and $599 respectively. AR, which refers to a technology that overlays digital content over the real world, has been hyped up over the last few years. However, the market had not exploded like many had predicted. Large headsets have proved too expensive or uncomfortable and firms including Xreal and Meta are focusing on how they can make the experience with glasses more compelling. There is also still a lack of content and killer use cases for the product, an issue Xu said needs to change before the product category reaches a wider user base. The CEO added that this begins with good hardware. "We need a platform, we need an ecosystem to improve the experience because we don't have any content yet. But in order to have the developers getting excited ... you need to have good hardware to begin with," Xu told CNBC. Xu said the company is expecting to sell 500,000 units of its previous products in 2025, roughly doubling the figure of this year.

B.C. leaders pitch Hollywood executives in bid to keep province on screenIt’s Good News for Retirees – Social Security Chief Takes Major Step to Save Benefits

When confronted by horrific scenes such as those witnessed in the German city of Magdeburg on Friday, where five people were killed and about 200 injured in a car-ramming attack, one of the first questions many people rightly ask is: why? Certainly, the indiscriminate nature of the violence is shocking and strikes at people’s sense of security. Among the dead is a nine-year-old boy; many people who were out shopping and socialising before Christmas will be left with life-changing injuries and lasting trauma. The attack was roundly condemned by numerous countries like the UAE as well as the Muslim Council of Elders. However, at this stage, much about the attacker’s exact motives remains unknown.A 50-year-old Saudi doctor, identified by German police as Taleb A, is the main suspect. The long-time German resident has a history of troubling online outbursts; analysis of social media accounts allegedly held by him suggests he was a vocal critic of Islam who sympathised with the German far-right. After he was arrested at the scene, police said Taleb A was acting alone. But what pushed him to carry out such a heinous attack is still unclear. Although the police investigation is at an early stage, there are worrying suggestions that Saudi warnings about the suspect went largely unheeded by German authorities. The warnings to Germany had reportedly been made several times since the suspect left Saudi Arabia in 2006, but a report in German outlet Welt claims a 2023 risk assessment by German investigators concluded the man posed “no specific danger”. The uncertainty has not deterred some from indulging in speculation or seizing the opportunity to accrue political capital. A group of about 1,000 people gathered in Magdeburg on Saturday night, with some brandishing a large banner with the word “remigration” written on it. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has claimed – without evidence – that the 2015 wave of immigration into Europe is responsible, adding that the EU’s leadership wants such attacks “to happen to Hungary, too”. Many questions hang over this case, but it is clear that security and intelligence co-operation regarding such problematic individuals will have to be reviewed and improved. Not only do the general public have the right to life in safety, but Germany’s Arab and Muslims communities – the vast majority of whom are law-abiding residents – will have to be protected from the hostility emanating from right-wing hardliners. This is true also of such communities across Europe. Many of these people have fled war and instability at home to begin new lives in peace and security; others were born in Europe. However, collectively they are often the target of pernicious political campaigns and unfairly lumped together with the tiny groups of extremists who have carried out attacks much like that seen in Magdeburg at the weekend. Immigrants to Europe want and deserve security as much as host communities do. It is up to the authorities in Germany and elsewhere to make sure that happens, and up to everyone influencing the situation to be weary of stoking discrimination, or worse, encouraging outright violence.

Germany is to vote in an early election on February 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalise the country’s stagnant economy. Mr Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag – a sister publication of Politico owned by the Axel Springer Group – published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month that he has supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD. “The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the last spark of hope for this country,” he wrote in his translated commentary. He went on to say that the far-right party “can lead the country into a future where economic prosperity, cultural integrity and technological innovation are not just wishes, but reality”. The Tesla Motors chief executive also wrote that his investment in Germany gives him the right to comment on the country’s condition. The AfD is polling strongly, but its candidate for the top job, Alice Weidel, has no realistic chance of becoming chancellor because other parties refuse to work with the far-right party. Billionaire Mr Musk, an ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, challenged in his opinion piece the party’s public image. “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Mr Musk’s commentary has led to a debate in German media over the boundaries of free speech, with the paper’s own opinion editor announcing her resignation, pointedly on Mr Musk’s social media platform, X. Eva Marie Kogel wrote: “I always enjoyed leading the opinion section of WELT and WAMS. Today an article by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. I handed in my resignation yesterday after it went to print.” A critical article by the future editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Jan Philipp Burgard, accompanied Mr Musk’s opinion piece. “Musk’s diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally wrong,” he wrote. Responding to a request for comment from the German Press Agency, dpa, the current editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Ulf Poschardt, and Mr Burgard – who is due to take over on January 1 – said in a joint statement that the discussion over Mr Musk’s piece was “very insightful. Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression.” “This will continue to determine the compass of the ‘world’ in the future. We will develop ‘Die Welt’ even more decisively as a forum for such debates,” they wrote to dpa.

Baxter balls out as Bulldog boys nip MarinesORCHARD PARK (AP) — Josh Allen reflected on Buffalo’s many offseason critics and doubters when asked about the Bills achieving their latest milestones while sewing up the AFC’s No. 2 seed with a 40-14 rout of the unraveling and undisciplined New York Jets on Sunday. It was a the Bills quarterback’s “I told you so moment,” even though Allen elected not to use those exact words. “It speaks to the staff that we’ve got here, the guys that we’ve got in this locker room, how this team is put together and the culture that we have,” Allen said. “We didn’t really pay attention to the preseason notions, but we heard them and we saw them and we knew what people were saying. "But it had no effect on us.” Well, that might be a stretch when it comes to motivation. What’s unquestioned is how Allen and the Bills (13-3) overcame a young, patchwork roster following the offseason departure of six of eight team captains — including Stefon Diggs being traded to Houston — to run away with their fifth consecutive AFC East title and win a franchise-best 13 games for the fifth time in team history, and third since 2020. Coach Sean McDermott didn’t leave much doubt as to who deserves the most credit for leading the Bills to their sixth consecutive playoff berth, and helping them set the single-season franchise records for points (509) and touchdowns (63). “I think Josh Allen continues to show why he should be the MVP,” McDermott said. “I’ve been around this league long enough to know to see MVP every year for many years. And what he has done on this team and this organization in this community — and no offense to anybody else — but I’ve got a hard time believing that someone’s done more.” Allen threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to become the NFL’s first player to score 40 touchdowns in five consecutive seasons. He did so in an outing Buffalo blew the game open by capitalizing on two Jets turnovers and scoring three touchdowns over a 5:01 span in the closing minutes of the third quarter. Buffalo’s defense forced three takeaways overall and sacked Aaron Rodgers four times, including a 2-yard loss for a safety in the second quarter. Nothing went right in what became a comedy of errors for Rodgers and the Jets (4-12). New York will finish with five or fewer wins for the seventh time over a 14-season playoff drought — the NFL’s longest active streak. “It’s kind of like the season, it just got away from us. Too many games got away from us,” said Rodgers, who finished 12 of 18 for 112 yards and two interceptions before being pulled in favor of Tyrod Taylor with Buffalo leading 40-0. “We were moving the ball well and then just hit a wall. And that’s kind of been the season.” Rodgers, who entered the game with 499 career TD passes and looking to become just the fifth player to reach 500, was instead shut out and became the NFL’s most sacked quarterback. The 41-year-old has now been sacked 568 times , moving ahead of Tom Brady (565) and into first place on the career list. Taylor accounted for all of New York’s points, with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson and a 20-yarder to Tyler Conklin. Discipline was an issue for a Jets team that fell to 2-9 since Jeff Ulbrich took over as interim coach. New York finished with 16 accepted penalties for 120 yards. “It’s frustrating, it’s embarrassing, it’s maddening. It’s all of that,” Ulbrich said. Allen had a short and efficient outing, finishing 16 of 27 for 182 yards with a 30-yard TD pass to Amari Cooper and a 14-yarder to Keon Coleman before giving way to backup Mitchell Trubisky with Buffalo leading 33-0 through three quarters. And Trubisky piled on by completing a 69-yard touchdown pass to practice squad call-up Tyrell Shavers 2:23 into the fourth quarter. Shavers became the 13th Bills player to catch a touchdown pass, matching the single-season NFL record, to validate the “everybody eats” mantra Allen and the offense used to approach this season. The Bills defense enjoyed a dominating performance to snap a shaky three-game stretch in which it combined to allow 1,357 yards, 86 first downs and 107 points. “I wouldn’t say need ... and I don’t want to say reassurance, either,” said A.J. Epenesa, who sacked Rodgers for the safety. “But it just shows that this is what we can do and this is the standard that needs to be upheld.” Allen’s 1-yard score was the 65th rushing TD of his career, matching the team record held by Thurman Thomas. ... James Cook scored on a 4-yard run for his 15th TD rushing of the season, one short of the Bills' single-season record set by O.J. Simpson in a 14-game season in 1975. Cook matched Allen, who scored 15 last year. ... Wilson reached 1,000 yards receiving for the third straight year to start his career, the first Jets player to do so and the 10th player in NFL history to accomplish the feat.

Since teaming up in 1997, The Salvation Army and the Cowboys have helped raise more than $3 billion for the campaign. "It's an honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff tradition with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys. The holiday season is about giving back and coming together, so we can make a real difference in people's lives this Christmas," said Wilson. "Bring your bell-bottoms and some bells for ringing because we're about to get this show on the road!"

Last year alone, funds raised through the campaign supported over 27 million people with resources such as food, shelter, holiday gifts, and emergency financial assistance throughout the year. "The Red Kettle Campaign is a wonderful reminder that small acts of generosity can make a big difference," said Charlotte Jones , chief brand officer and co-owner of the Dallas Cowboys and former national advisory board chairperson for The Salvation Army. "Every dollar donated helps The Salvation Army bring hope and support to those in need, and we couldn't be more appreciative to Lainey Wilson for helping us kick off this important effort. She perfectly captures the heart of this campaign, inspiring fans to make a difference for those who need it most." As the nation's largest private provider of social services, The Salvation Army faces a unique challenge this year. "With five fewer kettle giving days this year, donations are needed more than ever to meet the increasing demand for essential resources, especially as families continue to face economic challenges," said Commissioner Kenneth Hodder , national commander of The Salvation Army. " Lainey Wilson's heart for giving back resonates deeply with the spirit of the Red Kettle Campaign. We hope her performance inspires people to come together to support those facing hardship this season." The official launch of the Red Kettle Campaign means that thousands of volunteers will be ringing bells at kettles across the country located outside storefronts at Walmart, Sam's Club, Kroger Family of Stores, Hobby Lobby, Mardel, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, JCPenney, Food Lion, Redner's Markets, Boscov's, Dillard's, Big Lots, Macerich Shopping Centers, and hundreds of local partners.

Drew Lock will start at QB for Giants against SaintsNoneBaltimore Ravens leading receiver Zay Flowers is questionable for Wednesday's game against the host Houston Texans because of a shoulder issue. Flowers was listed on the team's injury report after missing practice on Sunday and Monday and being limited on Tuesday. Cornerback Tre'Davious White (shoulder) has followed the same pattern in practice participation and also is questionable. The Ravens ruled out wide receiver Nelson Agholor and running back Justice Hill due to concussions, and neither practiced Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis (hamstring) also missed practice this week and is out. Flowers, 24, leads the Ravens with 71 receptions, 109 targets and 1,016 receiving yards in 15 games (13 starts).

The A.M.E. Zion Church Adopts New Common Measurement for the Health of its Churches and CongregationsIs the MMA world going to turn its back on Conor McGregor now, What would the cost to Jon Jones’ legacy be And who are the best of the rest who never fought in the UFC? All that and more in this week’s mailbag. To ask a question of your own, hit up or . @njinformer.bsky.social: Are we done with McGregor now? A few of his business associates sure seem to be. After being , he and had his various beverages basically , leading to the owner of his Proper 12 whiskey announcing that it would cut him out of the marketing and branding aspect entirely. That’s remarkable, since the branding/marketing aspect was the thing the whiskey had going for it. Clearly, the Conor McGregor brand has become a toxic one ... outside of combat sports. Does that mean the UFC wouldn’t still gladly welcome him back in 2025? I doubt it. I think if he ever did get in shape to fight and stayed that way long enough to make it to the cage, then the UFC would eagerly throw him in there and count the money without ever mentioning any of this. But you can’t invite McGregor to your party anymore without at least facing some questions about it. UFC CEO Dana White just told us that one reason he didn’t want to do business with Francis Ngannou So what about McGregor? Is he a good guy? Because they just had an entire trial in Ireland that concluded he is not, and his response since then has been to double down on social media in a way that isn’t going to win anyone over. The last six years or so of this man’s career have been marked by lopsided defeats inside the cage and disgusting behavior outside of it. The longest section of his Wikipedia page now is the one labeled “controversies,” and it includes no fewer than three sexual assault allegations, one of which has just been proven in court. Who wants to cheer for that guy now? Who wants to actively put money in his pocket by purchasing a pay-per-view he’s on? I have no doubt that the answer to both those questions is "some MMA fans." But in order for me to retain any faith in humanity, I have to think it’s fewer people now than it was before. All this talk of HW goat & HW legends has me glaring at the giant hole left in the absence of mentioning Fedor, who many modern fans may not know. Could you give us a personal top 5 favorite fighters who never signed with the UFC, but left an impact on the sport none the less? — Now Boarding Flight 209 (@jmprobus) @jmprobus: All this talk of HW goat & HW legends has me glaring at the giant hole left in the absence of mentioning Fedor, who many modern fans may not know. Could you give us a personal top 5 favorite fighters who never signed with the UFC, but left an impact on the sport none the less? Fedor Emelianenko would have to be at the very top of that list. It’s true that he fought in a different era, especially for the heavyweight division. It’s also true that he failed to evolve late in his career as the competition wised up and his body slowed down. Still, he beat everybody there was to beat in PRIDE FC back when it had the superior heavyweight class overall. The UFC was just doing Tim Sylvia vs. Andrei Arlovski on an endless loop back then, and once they became free agents Fedor smoked them both in the first round. As for other fighters who make my list, I’d add Shinya Aoki, Igor Vovchanchyn, and (at least for the moment) Patricio Pitbull.

Side note what is your favourite of these That was a . Shutting out a former champ like Deiveson Figueiredo on the scorecards goes a long way toward proving that Yan still has some arrows left in the quiver. It also helps remind people that while his three straight losses look bad on paper, they’re not so awful once you take a closer look. The first was that illegal knee on Aljamain Sterling. Then a split decision loss to Sean O’Malley that probably could have gone either way. Lastly a decision loss to Merab Dvalishvili, the current champ, who did the same thing to Yan that he’s done to basically everyone else. As for where it ranks, somewhere below Dominick Cruz’s triumphant return against Takeya Mizugaki (which also happens to be my favorite). One thing I wonder about, though, is whether the timing and location of the win will limit the boost Yan gets from it. This was the main event of a UFC Fight Night event from Macau, airing in North America in the early hours of a Saturday morning. A lot of people probably didn’t even know it was on. Some will circle back to watch it, but others won’t. And if a tree falls in the forest at six in the morning with only a few people around to hear it... What up-and-coming combat sports promotion do you guys think has the best shot at making it big time? — Amy Kaplan (@PhotoAmy33) @PhotoAmy33: What up-and-coming combat sports promotion do you guys think has the best shot at making it big time? A lot depends on what we consider “big time,” . (Though the BKFC also has a strong McGregor tie, so it’ll be interesting to see how it handles that.) In general, I’m surprised and impressed with bare-knuckle boxing’s staying power so far. It seems to exist right in this sweet spot among the combat sports fan Venn diagram where it can draw in the UFC’s fans without competing against the UFC, while also attracting a few stray boxing or pro wrestling fans in addition to online weirdos who just want to see human carnage. @stefansommer.bsky.social: If the UFC were to ever move away from the PPV model, how do you think that would affect things like Champions getting rewarded with PPV points? Aside from the prestige of holding that belt, how could the UFC incentivize athletes to reach for the top without the financial carrot on the stick? We have to at least consider the possibility that the UFC would do the same thing with pay-per-view points as it did with sponsorships. Newer fans may not realize it, but that used to be a huge part of the financial picture for fighters. Many made more from fight night sponsorships than they did from their UFC pay. Remember those banners they’d unfurl behind fighters? Remember the shorts and hats and T-shirts that they’d wrestle back onto their sweaty bodies in time for the post-fight interview? Even lesser-known fighters cashed good checks from those. The UFC knew it and incorporated it into contract negotiations, telling fighters that they should sign for less money and get good fight card placement, which would result in better sponsor payouts. The UFC used those sponsorships to subsidize fighter pay, then yanked the rug out from fighters while offering them a pittance based on experience rather than star power in return. There was a lot of anger and frustration about this at first, but then it died down. The fighters who remembered the old way eventually moved on. The new ones had never known any other system, so they didn’t even question it. Why wouldn’t the UFC think that pay-per-view points would be a similar story? Right now, pay-per-view is still profitable enough that it’s not going anywhere. I think the most likely scenario for a new broadcast rights deal involves the UFC splitting up its product across a couple platforms but probably keeping pay-per-views with ESPN+. And if some day it does go away, with the UFC pocketing more upfront money? I think champion fighters may see a small bump in pay, but mostly they’ll be told to take what they get and shut up about it. Because where else are they going to go and do better? @johnnyjanko.bsky.social: Does fighting Aspinall affect Jones legacy or not? At this point, . The only real question is, how would it affect Jon Jones’ legacy if he never fights Tom Aspinall, and how would that effect prove to be? Clearly, it would have an impact. Just look at how many times Jones was asked about Aspinall during the lead up to UFC 309. The man walked out of an interview on sight when he realized it was British dudes who were going to ask about Aspinall. “Gas Hands” Tom didn’t even fight and was still a main character all week, so obviously it’s on people’s minds. If Jones retires or relinquishes the heavyweight title without fighting him, people will inevitably say that he ducked Aspinall. That always dings a fighter’s legacy, especially when it happens toward the end of a career. You know how MMA judges tend to put more weight on a takedown in the last 30 seconds of a round than one in the first 30 seconds? It’s kind of the same deal. But I’ve also found that as years pass, people tend to focus more on the highlights and the whole body of work. It’s why, whenever I hear a fighter talk about how they can’t go out on a loss, I want to explain that actually they can, that people won’t remember this part as much as they assume, unless of course they stick around too long and it gets really sad. Personally, I’m still choosing to believe that this fight will happen. Jones says he’s already negotiating with the UFC. Aspinall says he’s optimistic and waiting for the call. There’s really no other fight to make. At least, not one that makes nearly as much sense for all parties involved. And, come on, who is Jones kidding? We all know he’s not ready to go home and stay there.

The student protests sweeping across Serbia have garnered significant attention, with thousands of young voices demanding accountability and justice in response to a series of tragedies and systemic failures. Considering that protesters reject all government solutions and willingness to fix societal issues, the situation echoes the Color Revolution in North Macedonia. In 2015-2016, North Macedonian citizens mobilized themselves to challenge entrenched corruption and political irresponsibility in the capital city of Skopje. By drawing a comparative analysis between these two movements, we can identify commonalities and divergences between these two movements, shedding light on their potential implications related to governance, civil society and regional stability. The Color Revolution in North Macedonia was ignited by the 2015 wiretapping scandal, which exposed high-level government corruption, electoral interference fraud and authoritarian tendencies under then-Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. Citizens, particularly the youth, took to the streets to demand accountability and democratic reforms. However, the main purpose of the protests was to replace the government. In Serbia, the current wave of protests stems from the tragic Novi Sad train station collapse, which claimed multiple lives and underscored systemic negligence. While this accident initiated the protest, there were broader grievances, including decaying infrastructure, lack of institutional transparency and perceived governmental indifference that compounded over the years of governmental (mis)management of the country. Students, supported by the teaching unions, have emerged as the vanguard of these protests, reflecting the frustration with the government's failures to prioritize safety and education. Both movements relied heavily on the organization and mobilization of civil society. The North Macedonian protests were marked by colorful symbolism, with protesters painting government buildings and public spaces to signify the "colors" of democracy over autocracy. In contrast, Serbian students have adopted poignant slogans such as “15 Minutes for 15 Lives,” emphasizing the human cost of governmental negligence. The physical blockading of university campuses and streets mirrors the sit-ins and occupation tactics employed in North Macedonia. Both activities raised numerous legal questions and concerns by symbolism. Notably, social media has played a pivotal role in both movements, acting as a platform for coordination, information dissemination and raising awareness. In North Macedonia, platforms like Facebook and Twitter were instrumental in bypassing state-controlled media, while in Serbia, videos and live streams from Novi Sad and Belgrade have attracted national and international attention. In both cases, governments initially sought to downplay the protests, portraying them as politically motivated or orchestrated by foreign actors. The former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski's administration in North Macedonia deployed police forces to disperse demonstrations, leading to clashes and arrests. However, government authorities and security forces, in most cases, allowed protestors to engage in throwing color bombs at government institutions, which consequently resulted in high-cost restoration. Similarly, Serbian authorities have accused protesters of destabilizing the country and have sought to intimidate organizers through police presence and media campaigns. The scale and intensity of the protests differ significantly. In North Macedonia, police actions to disperse protesters led to more violent confrontations, while in Serbia, the government response has been less aggressive, influenced by the support of teaching unions and other respected societal actors. This broader coalition in Serbia makes it harder for the government to discredit the movement. Generally, when civil society protests against the government, using police force is a poor strategy to delegitimize movements like color revolutions. These movements often control the narrative, framing repression and excessive force as evidence of authoritarianism, which can quickly garner international community and media support. Both movements underscore a deep-seated demand for accountability. In North Macedonia, protesters called for the resignation of Gruevski and his cabinet, pushing for judicial action against those implicated in corruption. The protests culminated in the EU-brokered Pržino Agreements between Gruevski’s government and the opposition political parties, which exploited the Color Revolution to force early elections and political reforms. In Serbia, the focus has been placed on receiving justice for the victims of the Novi Sad tragedy and reforms to prevent such future occurrences. In their protests, students have highlighted the lack of oversight in infrastructure projects and the pervasive culture of impunity. While the Serbian government has made rhetorical commitments to investigate the incident, protesters remain skeptical, pointing at past unfulfilled promises. Yet, blocking educational institutions and other public or private venues represents a violation of citizen’s constitutional rights regarding freedom of work, movement, and access to state institutions. International engagement has played a nuanced role in both contexts. During North Macedonia’s Color Revolution, the European Union and the United States were active mediators, leveraging political and economic incentives to facilitate a resolution. Serbia, however, operates in a more complex geopolitical environment, balancing its EU accession aspirations with maintaining ties to Russia and China. This dynamic has limited the West’s leverage, although international media coverage and statements of support for the protesters have added pressure on the government. So far, there have not been any clear indicators of direct involvement by international actors. But it does not imply their lack of interest in the unfolding events in Serbia. A striking similarity lies in the empowerment of youth as agents of change. The protests marked a generational shift in North Macedonia, with young leaders emerging as prominent voices in civil society and politics. The Serbian protests similarly reflect a generational awakening, with students challenging the status quo and demanding a future defined by transparency and meritocracy rather than nepotism and cronyism. The long-term impact of these movements remains uncertain. While North Macedonia's protests brought political change, the country still faces deep systemic issues. Many Color Revolution supporters now regret participating, as the movement failed to deliver lasting improvements or keep its promises. In the end, one corrupt group of politicians was replaced by another. Serbia’s movement, while generating promises, faces significant obstacles, including a fragmented opposition and a polarized political landscape. There are, however, many lessons Serbian politicians could learn from neighboring countries, which could help them develop sustainable solutions. The Serbian student protests and North Macedonia’s Color Revolution illustrate the transformative power of these types of “grassroots” movements to challenge entrenched systems of power. Both underscore the importance of youth engagement, the role of civil society and the potential for regional movements to inspire one another. However, for better or worse, they also highlight the challenges of translating the protest energy into lasting political and societal change, for good or worse. For Serbia, the current protests represent a critical juncture in the country’s future. The government’s ability to address protesters’ demands – or its failure to do so – will profoundly affect its legitimacy and the country’s trajectory toward democracy and prosperity. For the region, these movements are very dangerous because they are like a two-edged sword. On the one side, these movements very rarely provide sustainable strategic solutions in weak and small states because the corrupt politicians, who are only interested in self-gain, are at the forefront of such protests. On the other side, these movements have the potential to reaffirm the enduring relevance of civic activism in holding governments accountable and shaping the future of the Western Balkans.Baltimore Ravens leading receiver Zay Flowers is questionable for Wednesday's game against the host Houston Texans because of a shoulder issue.

Described as intelligent and charismatic, these birds are the last surviving species of Hawaiian crow , previously found only on Hawaii's Big Island, according to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance . Their extinction in the wild was driven by habitat loss, invasive predators, and diseases, conservationists noted. According to the vice president of conservation science at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, Megan Owen, "The translocation of alala to Maui is a monumental step forward in conserving the species and a testament to the importance of partnership in reversing biodiversity loss .” This release reflects years of collaboration amongst organisations, including the US Fish and Wildlife Service, State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife and the University of Hawaii, she added.

The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance conducted thorough assessments of the birds for release based on their ability to forage for food and respond to predators, with veterinarians conducting thorough health assessments. Between 2016 and 2020, thirty alala were released in the Big Island's Puu Makaala Natural Forest Reserve. However, despite early success, the population declined, prompting officials to halt reintroduction efforts. The remaining were subsequently brought back into human care. Keanini Aarona, the avian recovery specialist at Maui Bird Conservation Center said, "To me, and in my culture, the alala are like our ancestors - our kūpuna. The forest wouldn't be there without these birds." "It means a lot to me to care for the alala," Aarona added. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
