PHC 0 St George’s 2 St George’s Colts captain Kashae Hall’s first-half penalty and substitute Jahron Dickinson’s late goal ended their side’s three-match winless streak, dealing Premier Division defending champions PHC a second consecutive defeat last night. Hall put the East Enders ahead from the penalty spot in the 39th minute after Ne-Jai Tucker was brought down in the box by Eusebio King-Mills. Dickinson, who replaced Senoj Mitchell in the 67th minute, sealed the victory two minutes from time, slotting home from a Tucker pass. The second win of the season lifted St George’s to fifth in the standings with eight points, while PHC remained third on 12 points. Hall attributed the victory to improved unity in a side that had recently shown signs of fracturing when results went against them. Before last night’s triumph, St George’s last tasted victory on 6 October, with a 3-1 win over Young Men’s Social Club. “We stayed positive throughout the whole game,” Hall told The Royal Gazette. “Before, we were too negative with each other, but today we encouraged each other and stayed positive. “I missed a couple of chances, but our defensive work was strong and helped us secure the win. This result gives us great motivation for our next match against Devonshire Colts. We’re going into that game feeling strong.” PHC coach Quincy Hunt backed his team to recover from the defeat, which saw them miss an opportunity to keep pace with title rivals North Village. “It’s not a setback for us; we just need to regroup,” Hunt said. “We were in the same position last season, so it’s not like we don’t know what we’re doing. We just have to refocus. “Congratulations to St George’s – they came to play, and they won the game. As coach, I take full responsibility for the loss. Being rescheduled didn’t make a difference. We were at home, and we should have performed better.” St George’s started brightly, with their captain forcing Quinaceo Hunt into a good save seven minutes into the match. Jahiem Iris came close for PHC in the 19th minute when he charged at goal but failed to generate enough power to trouble Jahquill Hill. Blaize Hall had a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the 21st minute. Jonas Schroder drew Hunt off his line, but with the goal gaping, the Bermuda forward sent his effort wide. Six minutes before the break, St George’s silenced the home crowd when Hall confidently converted from 12 yards. The visitors continued to trouble PHC in the second half, with Hall narrowly missing out on a brace in the 54th and 63rd minutes. As PHC fought for an equaliser, Tucker displayed excellent ball control before setting up Dickinson, who finished clinically to secure all three points for the visitors.

LATAM crypto update: Argentine Senator eyes crypto mining, Bitcoin ATMs surge in BrazilBEIRUT (AP) — Insurgents' stunning march across Syria accelerated Saturday with news that they had reached the gates of the capital and that government forces had abandoned the central city of Homs. The government was forced to deny rumors that President Bashar Assad had fled the country. The loss of Homs is a potentially crippling blow for Assad. It stands at an important intersection between Damascus, the capital, and Syria’s coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus — the Syrian leader’s base of support and home to a Russian strategic naval base. The pro-government Sham FM news outlet reported that government forces took positions outside Syria’s third-largest city, without elaborating. Rami Abdurrahman who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian troops and members of different security agencies have withdrawn from the city, adding that rebels have entered parts of it. The insurgency announced later Saturday that it had taken over Homs. The city's capture is a major victory for the rebels, who have already seized the cities of Aleppo and Hama , as well as large parts of the south, in a lightning offensive that began Nov. 27. Analysts said rebel control of Homs would be a game-changer. The rebels' moves around Damascus, reported by the monitor and a rebel commander, came after the Syrian army withdrew from much of southern part of the country, leaving more areas, including several provincial capitals, under the control of opposition fighters. For the first time in the country’s long-running civil war, the government now has control of only three of 14 provincial capitals: Damascus, Latakia and Tartus. The advances in the past week were among the largest in recent years by opposition factions, led by a group that has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the United Nations. In their push to overthrow Assad's government, the insurgents, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, or HTS, have met little resistance from the Syrian army. The rapid rebel gains, coupled with the lack of support from Assad's erstwhile allies, posed the most serious threat to his rule since the start of the war. The U.N.’s special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, on Saturday called for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition.” Speaking to reporters at the annual Doha Forum in Qatar, he said the situation in Syria was changing by the minute. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, whose country is Assad's chief international backer, said he feels “sorry for the Syrian people.” In Damascus, people rushed to stock up on supplies. Thousands went to Syria's border with Lebanon, trying to leave the country. Many shops in the capital were shuttered, a resident told The Associated Press, and those still open ran out of staples such as sugar. Some were selling items at three times the normal price. “The situation is very strange. We are not used to that,” the resident said, insisting on anonymity, fearing retributions. “People are worried whether there will be a battle (in Damascus) or not.” It was the first time that opposition forces reached the outskirts of Damascus since 2018, when Syrian troops recaptured the area following a yearslong siege. The U.N. said it was moving noncritical staff outside the country as a precaution. Syria’s state media denied social media rumors that Assad left the country, saying he is performing his duties in Damascus. He has had little, if any, help from his allies. Russia, is busy with its war in Ukraine . Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which at one point sent thousands of fighters to shore up Assad's forces, has been weakened by a yearlong conflict with Israel. Iran has seen its proxies across the region degraded by regular Israeli airstrikes. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday posted on social media that that the United States should avoid engaging militarily in Syria. Pedersen said a date for talks in Geneva on the implementation a U.N. resolution, adopted in 2015, and calling for a Syrian-led political process, would be announced later. The resolution calls for the establishment of a transitional governing body, followed by the drafting of a new constitution and ending with U.N.-supervised elections. Later Saturday, foreign ministers and senior diplomats from eight key countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt, Turkey and Iran, along with Pederson, gathered on the sidelines of the Doha Summit to discuss the situation in Syria. In a statement issued late Saturday, the participants affirmed their support for a political solution to the Syrian crisis “that would lead to the end of military activity and protect civilians.” They also agreed on the importance of strengthening international efforts to increase aid to the Syrian people. Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said insurgents were in the Damascus suburbs of Maadamiyah, Jaramana and Daraya. Opposition fighters were marching toward the Damascus suburb of Harasta, he added. A commander with the insurgents, Hassan Abdul-Ghani, posted on the Telegram messaging app that opposition forces had begun the “final stage” of their offensive by encircling Damascus. HTS controls much of northwest Syria and in 2017 set up a “salvation government” to run day-to-day affairs in the region. In recent years, HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani has sought to remake the group’s image, cutting ties with al-Qaida, ditching hard-line officials and vowing to embrace pluralism and religious tolerance. The shock offensive began Nov. 27, during which gunmen captured the northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest, and the central city of Hama , the country’s fourth largest city. Opposition activists said Saturday that a day earlier, insurgents entered Palmyra, which is home to invaluable archaeological sites had been in government hands since being taken from the Islamic State group in 2017. To the south, Syrian troops left much of the province of Quneitra including the main Baath City, activists said. Syrian Observatory said government troops have withdrawn from much of the two southern provinces. The Syrian army said in a statement that it carried out redeployment and repositioning in Sweida and Daraa after its checkpoints came under attack by “terrorists." The army said it was setting up a “strong and coherent defensive and security belt in the area,” apparently to defend Damascus from the south. The Syrian government has referred to opposition gunmen as terrorists since conflict broke out in March 2011. The foreign ministers of Iran, Russia and Turkey, meeting in Qatar, called for an end to the hostilities. Turkey is a main backer of the rebels. Qatar's top diplomat, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, criticized Assad for failing to take advantage of the lull in fighting in recent years to address the country’s underlying problems. “Assad didn’t seize this opportunity to start engaging and restoring his relationship with his people,” he said. Sheikh Mohammed said he was surprised by how quickly the rebels have advanced and said there is a real threat to Syria’s “territorial integrity.” He said the war could “damage and destroy what is left if there is no sense of urgency” to start a political process.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday reached a required agreement with President Joe Biden’s White House to allow his transition staff to coordinate with the existing federal workforce before taking office on Jan. 20. The congressionally mandated agreement allows transition aides to work with federal agencies and access non-public information and gives a green light to government workers to talk to the transition team. But Trump has declined to sign a separate agreement with the General Services Administration that would have given his team access to secure government offices and email accounts, in part because it would require that the president-elect reveal who is donating to his transition effort. The White House agreement was supposed to have been signed by Oct. 1, according to the Presidential Transition Act, and the Biden White House had issued both public and private appeals for Trump’s team to sign on. The agreement is a critical step in ensuring an orderly transfer of power at noon on Inauguration Day, and lays the groundwork for the White House and government agencies to begin to share details on ongoing programs, operations and threats. It limits the risk that the Trump team could find itself taking control of the massive federal government without briefings and documents from the outgoing administration. As part of the agreement with the White House, Trump’s team will have to publicly disclose its ethics plan for the transition operation and make a commitment to uphold it, the White House said. Transition aides must sign statements that they have no financial positions that could pose a conflict of interest before they receive access to non-public federal information. Biden himself raised the agreement with Trump when they met in the Oval Office on Nov. 13, according to the White House, and Trump indicated that his team was working to get it signed. Trump chief of staff-designate Susie Wiles met with Biden's chief of staff Jeff Zients at the White House on Nov. 19 and other senior officials in part to discuss remaining holdups, while lawyers for the two sides have spoken more than a half-dozen times in recent days to finalize the agreement. “Like President Biden said to the American people from the Rose Garden and directly to President-elect Trump, he is committed to an orderly transition,” said White House spokesperson Saloni Sharma. “President-elect Trump and his team will be in seat on January 20 at 12 pm – and they will immediately be responsible for a range of domestic and global challenges, foreseen and unforeseen. A smooth transition is critical to the safety and security of the American people who are counting on their leaders to be responsible and prepared.” Without the signed agreement, Biden administration officials were restricted in what they could share with the incoming team. Trump national security adviser-designate Rep. Mike Waltz met recently with Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan, but the outgoing team was limited in what it could discuss. “We are doing everything that we can to effect a professional and an orderly transition,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Monday. “And we continue to urge the incoming team to take the steps that are necessary to be able to facilitate that on their end as well.” “This engagement allows our intended Cabinet nominees to begin critical preparations, including the deployment of landing teams to every department and agency, and complete the orderly transition of power,” said Wiles in a statement. A separate agreement with the Department of Justice to coordinate background checks for vetting and security clearances is still being actively worked on and could be signed quickly now that the White House agreement is signed. The agency has teams of investigators standing by to process clearances for Trump aides and advisers once that document is signed. That would clear the way for transition aides and future administration appointees and nominees to begin accessing classified information before Trump takes office. Some Trump aides may hold active clearances from his first term in office or other government roles, but others will need new clearances to access classified data. Trump's team on Friday formally told the GSA that they would not utilize the government office space blocks from the White House reserved for their use, or government email accounts, phones and computers during the transition. The White House said it does not agree with Trump’s decision to forgo support from the GSA, but is working on alternate ways to get Trump appointees the information they need without jeopardizing national security. Federal agencies are receiving guidance on Tuesday on how to share sensitive information with the Trump team without jeopardizing national security or non-public information. For instance, agencies may require in-person meetings and document reviews since the Trump team has declined to shift to using secure phones and computers. For unclassified information, agencies may ask Trump transition staff to attest that they are taking basic safeguards, like using two-factor authentication on their accounts. Zeke Miller, The Associated PressMore than two weeks after the 2024 election, the White House says President-elect Donald Trump and his team still haven’t executed the legal documents required to officially start the transition process. Trump is due to take the presidential oath of office on the Capitol steps in just under 60 days. Yet, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that the Trump-Vance team “not yet entered into the agreements with the White House and the General Service Administration” despite ongoing efforts to negotiate involving White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and his incoming Trump administration counterpart, Susie Wiles. Last week, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts said the Trump transition team was “breaking the law” by not signing the memoranda, which include required ethics agreements. Jean-Pierre said Zients has “reached out” to Trump transition co-chairs Howard Lutnick and Linda McMahon and has “consistently reiterated ... wanting to work together and making sure that they have what they need.” “So we're going to continue to engage with the Trump transition team to ensure that we do have that efficient, effective transition of power, and in those conversations, we certainly are stressing that the White House and the administration stand ready to provide assistance, and that access to services and information,” she said. “So those conversations continue, and we want this to go smoothly, and that's what we're trying to get to.” Without the signed documents, Trump’s team cannot access any government resources made available to incoming administrations. They cannot enter any government buildings or speak to any currently serving government personnel — including the Biden administration officials they are replacing. “ Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law. I would know because I wrote the law. Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement,” Warren wrote in a post on X/Twitter last week. She added: “This is what illegal corruption looks like.” Before September 1, candidates are supposed to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the General Services Administration to get a hold of support services. Before October 1, candidates are supposed to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the federal government regarding conditions of access to agencies — and that includes an ethics plan. As of now, neither document has been executed. The laws governing presidential transitions are set up to ensure both a peaceful transfer of power and to safeguard national security by allowing incoming officials to receive temporary security clearances required before they can be brought up to speed on threats facing the country. After the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on New York and Washington, the presidential commission charged with investigating the attacks found that the truncated transition between the Clinton administration and the George W Bush administration — caused by the disputed 2000 election which ended up in a recount that took months to resolve by the Supreme Court — resulted in delays before Bush’s team was able to get up to speed. The commission said national security was harmed by the delays, particularly by how they hampered the confirmation of Bush’s national security team.Information on these pages contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Netanyahu says he supports proposed ceasefire with HezbollahSurat’s garment sector set to grow 20-25% as global brands seek stability away from BangladeshThe Manitoba Legislative Building was turned into a winter wonderland on Saturday, as the annual Holiday Open House kicked off the festive season. Premier Wab Kinew invited the public to celebrate the holidays. “We have so much to be thankful for, celebrating Hannukah and Christmas and Quanza and the Solstice, and my birthday, that we’re just so so overjoyed that you could be here to celebrate with us,” said Premier Kinew. “I just want to say, welcome to your building. This building belongs to you the people of Manitoba, so we are so happy to be able to open it up to you to come celebrate the best time of year.” The Legislature halls were decked with boughs of holly, the carolers, holiday treats, and even the big man himself (Santa) made an appearance. It’s the second year in a row the Holiday Open House was held, after being suspended in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic, and again in 2022 due to safety concerns. And now it’s clear, the return of the event is a welcome sight to the public. “I think its very self-educating, and we enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully, everyone else is doing the same” said one Winnipegger CityNews spoke to. Another saying, “I’m a huge fan of the legislature building. I love bringing my kids and getting them interested in politics as best I can, so It’s a great day here.” Before the premier wrapped up his speech, he left Manitobans with a heartfelt message, this holiday season. “Let’s remember that the thing that unites us as Manitobans this time of year, and every single day of the year, is generosity. So let’s be kind, let’s be happy, and let’s be generous. Sound good?”
