At least 31 people have been confirmed dead so far, but local officials fear the complete toll could be much higher, reaching hundreds or even thousands. Upon arriving in Mayotte on Thursday, Macron was met with ire from some residents, who were aggrieved by what they felt was a lack of support from Paris following the disaster.

A women, clearly distressed, told Macron that the archipelago “needs him.” “Ever...

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) addresses reporters during a press conference on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, to discuss an upcoming vote on the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to ban the sale of certain offensive arms to Israel. Sen.  Bernie Sanders  (I-Vt.) aimed at tech mogul  Elon Musk  for saying that any lawmaker supporting the continuing resolution for the newly unveiled end-of-the-year funding deal should be voted out of office. “Democrats and Republicans spent months negotiating a bipartisan agreement to fund our government. The richest man on Earth, President Elon Musk, doesn’t like it. Will Republicans kiss the ring?” Sanders wrote in a  post  on the social platform X on Wednesday. atOptions = { 'key' : '58bfee8b434cf3fd7d886c744e7ce1f6', 'format' : 'iframe', 'height' : 250, 'width' : 300, 'params' : {} };

  China’s nuclear warheads total 600 and raise ‘strategic stability’ concerns: Pentagon China has not only expanded its number of operational nuclear warheads to 600 but improved the diversity and sophistication of its arsenal, the Pentagon said  in a report  released on Wednesday. “China had a very, very small, relatively outdated nuclear arsenal” two decades ago, said Michael Chase ,  US deputy assistant secretary of defense for China,  Taiwan , and  Mongolia , at the report’s launch at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank. “We’ve seen over time that they’ve expanded to a nuclear triad, with the  [People’s Liberation Army ] Navy having ballistic missile submarines conducting deterrence patrols,” Chase continued. He added that in recent years, there has been “increasing diversity in capabilities like precision-strike capable missiles with lower-yield nuclear warheads.” The China Military Power Repo...

Life in Idlib hints at what Syria can expect from rebel rule

  Life in Idlib hints at what Syria can expect from rebel rule The road to Idlib, a remote corner in northwest Syria, still has the signs of the old front lines: trenches, abandoned military positions, rocket shells, and ammunition. Until a little more than a week ago, this was the only area in the country controlled by the opposition. From Idlib, rebels led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, launched an astonishing offensive that toppled Bashar al-Assad and ended his family's five-decade dictatorship in Syria. As a result, they have become the country's de facto authorities and appear to be trying to bring their way of governing to the rest of Syria. In Idlib's city center, opposition flags, with a green stripe and three red stars, were flying high in public squares and being waved by men and women, old and young, in the wake of Assad's removal. Graffiti on walls celebrated the resistance against the regime. While destroyed buildings and piles of...

  Killing of Russian General Sends a Message, but Doesn’t Change the War Ukraine’s  brazen assassination of a Russian general  on a Moscow street this week was a triumph for Ukraine’s intelligence services, showcasing a decade’s worth of investment in developing the skills, technology, and ingenuity needed to operate successfully behind enemy lines in wartime. But it was a limited triumph. Killing the general, Igor Kirillov, 54, will no doubt enrage the Kremlin and spread a degree of fear among the country’s military and political elites, military experts said. It also eliminates a top military leader, who, according to Ukrainian officials, had ordered the use of banned chemical substances against Ukrainian troops. What it will not do, according to Western officials and experts, is improve Kyiv’s position in its war with Russia. On the battlefield, Ukraine’s forces continue to steadily lose ground to their larger and better-equipped adversaries. On Tuesday, Gen. Oleksa...
