BEIRUT (AP) — A Syrian opposition war monitor and a pro-government media outlet say government forces have withdrawn from much of the central city of Homs. The pro-government Sham FM 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Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian troops and members of different security agencies have withdrawn from the city, adding that rebels have entered parts of it. Losing Homs is a potentially crippling blow for Syria’s embattled leader, Bashar Assad. The city stands at an important intersection between Damascus and Syria’s coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus — the Syrian leader’s base of support and home to a Russian strategic naval base. Its capture is a major victory for insurgents, 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 Homs falling into rebel hands would be a game-changer. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. BEIRUT (AP) — Insurgents' stunning march across Syria gained speed on Saturday with news that they had reached the suburbs of the capital and with the government forced to deny rumors that President Bashar Assad had fled the country. The rebels' moves around Damascus, reported by an opposition war 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. 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. For the first time in the country's long-running civil war, the government now has control of only four of 14 provincial capitals: Damascus, Homs, Latakia and Tartus. 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. No details were immediately available. 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. Syria’s military, meanwhile, sent large numbers of reinforcements to defend the key central city of Homs, Syria’s third largest, as insurgents approached its outskirts. 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 and are sending reinforcements to Homs, where a battle loomed. If the insurgents capture Homs, they would cut the link between Damascus, Assad’s seat of power, and the coastal region where the president enjoys wide support. 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.

Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria and Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad contributed to this report.Furthermore, in the men's and women's team events, the Chinese national team has demonstrated their superior teamwork, coordination, and strategy, as they continue to dominate the competition and emerge victorious in every tournament they participate in.

Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on November 24 called for a sit-in protest with party workers crossing barricades and making their way to Islamabad where four people died and over 50 were injured in a midnight crackdown. However, PTI claimed“hundreds” were killed in the violent clashes with security personnel. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in a conversation with the media in Sialkot said the government offered PTI several alternative protest locations and while Khan, 72, agreed to the proposal, Bibi insisted on going to D-Chowk, leading to the chaotic situation. He said that while PTI's crowd size“was good, just like anyone familiar with politics would muster, Bushra Bibi, unfamiliar with such a massive gathering, reportedly expressed concern, saying, 'Who will go there now', and insisted on continuing the march towards D-Chowk”. “What happened later, she fled from the scene, escaping with Gandapur,” the minister claimed. Asif, criticising PTI leadership, said the party leaders fled the scene when confronted with genuine resistance, The Express Tribune reported. He compared their retreat to a lack of resolve and said such behaviour was unprecedented in any war or movement. Asif said that Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur's vehicle was also hit by bricks as he fled the scene with Bibi. He mentioned the leaders only managed to escape and resurfaced in Mansehra. Addressing the deaths reported during the protests, Asif said that while PTI leaders provided conflicting reports about the number of fatalities, with Sardar Latif Khosa reporting 278 deaths, the actual figure was in single digits. Rangers and police personnel were martyred and hundreds were injured because of the violence incited by Khan's supporters, the minister claimed. He praised the security forces for successfully preventing what he described as the third attack on the federal government. He said there was a lack of evidence to support claims of mass killings and said no videos of funerals or statements from the families of the deceased emerged, nor had there been any concrete proof of widespread bloodshed. Separately, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said an anti-riot force was being raised to combat such situations. The minister regretted the PTI was resorting to a false narrative of dead bodies to cover up the embarrassment of fleeing from the protest site. Criticising the PTI for airing old and AI-generated images on social media, Tarar said it was the violent protesters who used different weapons against the security personnel and inflicted damage on public property. Khan's party on Wednesday formally suspended for the time being its protest in Islamabad and blamed the midnight crackdown by the authorities. Amid concerns about the whereabouts of Bibi and Gandapur – who were leading the march to Islamabad – the party said they were at Mansehra town, near Abbottabad, of the northwestern province. The midnight crackdown forced Khan's supporters to evacuate the D-Chowk and its adjacent main business district of the capital ending their protest, which his party described as a“massacre” under the“fascist military regime” even as police sources said about 450 protestors were arrested in the crackdown.

"I think at any stage, something like that could occur again." Mr Barnes led the inquest into the December 2014 siege, in which terrorist Man Haron Monis took 18 people hostage inside Sydney's Martin Place for 16 hours. Monis fatally shot cafe manager Tori Johnson, while barrister Katrina Dawson was killed by stray police bullet fragments in the dying moments of the siege. Now head of the powerful NSW Crime Commission, Mr Barnes delivered a series of findings and recommendations as a result of his 18-month inquest into the tragedy. Central to this, he declared NSW police did not act quickly enough, the gunman should not have been allowed out on bail at the time of the siege, calls for help from the hostages went unanswered and families of victims were treated insensitively. Although Mr Barnes remains wary of a laissez-faire attitude towards domestic terror threats, he believes lessons have been learned from the siege. "Police are much better placed now to deal with those issues," he says. "It was a learning experience for NSW but also police around the country." One of the major findings from the inquest was police missed the chance to storm the cafe after Monis fired the first shot, an opportunity, if taken, might have saved Mr Johnson and Ms Dawson's lives. After wrapped up in 2016, then NSW police commissioner Mick Fuller conceded police should have gone in earlier. "I give this assurance to everyone ... we won't wait 17 hours again," he promised at the time. One year on from the deadly siege, Australia's largest police force adopted a shoot-now strategy for terrorist situations, replacing its controversial contain-and-negotiate procedure which the inquest found cost valuable time. At the time of the siege, police were also required to make individual decisions about when to use deadly force. "People under incredible stress and in very great danger themselves are perhaps not best placed to make those decisions," Mr Barnes says. "So we thought putting that a bit higher up the hierarchy was justified." NSW laws have now been changed to adhere to the recommendation. Police resourcing was another concern identified at the Barnes inquest. With their specially equipped truck off the road, negotiators worked out of a four-wheel drive before being moved to a cramped room inside a Leagues' Club. The building had no whiteboards or live feed, there was only one landline and the primary negotiator had never handled a hostage situation before. Key demands by Monis - including securing media coverage, organising a meeting with the prime minister and being given an Islamic State flag - were delayed in reaching top commanders and none were ever granted. "The idea there that you can't make concessions to a terrorist, I think that did hinder some of the way (police) acted on the day," Mr Barnes offers. "No concessions doesn't mean you can't engage, doesn't mean you can't give them anything that they might want if that's going to de-escalate the situation." Negotiation training policies have also since been updated. The inquest additionally unveiled stark information about how prosecutors and other sworn officers dealt with Monis in the weeks and months preceding the attack. The lone gunman, who was fatally shot during the siege, was out on bail in 2014 after being charged with being an accessory to murder and more than 40 counts of sexual and indecent assault. The families of some victims have expressed disbelief that Monis was allowed in the community while facing such serious matters. Police preferred the sexual assault charges against him via a court attendance notice while he was at large instead of arresting him. Mr Barnes found this made it more difficult for prosecutors to argue that he should be taken into custody. However, the inquest found prosecutors submitted "inadequate" oral oppositions to Monis' request for bail and no written submissions. The families of the siege victims, who suffered through hours of torment, were also left in the dark for much of the ordeal. Mr Barnes found they were gathered together in a hostage room too close to the cafe and were able to hear explosions and gunshots. "They then didn't hear anything officially for a number of hours and they were all kept in a large space and could see individual hostages who had been released reunited with their family members," he says. "The remaining families diminished in number until it became obvious that there weren't any more hostages." In the aftermath of the siege, a sea of flowers formed on Martin Place, paying tribute to the traumatised hostages and the two fatally wounded victims. Ten years on, little remains there to remember the events of December 15. The cafe has been transformed into a Dan Murphy's wine cellar, with the central tasting table adorned with flowers in memory of the event. A permanent exhibition is embedded into the concrete in Martin place, with small flowers set into the pavement behind glass frames. The NSW government will mark the 10-year anniversary of the tragedy throughout this week, with commemorative displays and flower laying from Tuesday.
