‘A ship on the ocean of reality’: New maps show universe is even weirder than we thoughtWill Ospreay credits RevPro founder Andy Quildan for helping him grow as a person throughout his career. Ospreay’s rise to the top of the independent scene came through his work at RevPro in the UK, and he spoke in the new RevPro: How To Start A Revolution documentary about how much Quildan helped him mature and learn from mistakes he would make. “I feel like there are so many times that I drop the ball, and I’m aware that I drop the ball,” Ospreay began ( per Fightful ). “And having to come back to RevPro with my tail between my legs, having to prove myself, not only to the wrestlers, but to fans, and to Andy, because Andy’s the one that got me over to New Japan in the first place.” He continued, “There’s so many times that I feel like I’d let him down, whether it was... from anything that i did on social media to even attitude backstage. So he’s allowed me to, just to grow up, I feel like he’s allowed me to be a young man in wrestling and slowly mature.” Ospreay is of course now in AEW, where he is set to compete in the semifinals of the Continental Classic tournament at tonight’s Worlds End.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has held a policy-setting key meeting of the country's ruling party last week ahead of the new year, state media KCNA reported. The "strongest" response strategy towards the United States was declared during the party for the country's safety and national interests, the report said, without providing any details. The trilateral alliance between South Korea, the US and Japan has expanded to a "nuclear military bloc" and South Korea has become an "anti-communism outpost" for the US, the KCNA report added. "The reality clearly suggests which direction we should go and what we should do and how," the report said. The meeting, which was held from December 23-27, according to the report, also reviewed the handling of floods earlier this year, including the plan that brought those affected to Pyongyang, the capital. The reclusive state also vowed to promote relations with "friendly" countries during the meeting. The assembly of the party and government officials often lasts a few days and has been used in recent years to make key policy announcements. The 11th plenary session of the eighth central committee of the Workers' Party of Korea wraps up a year in which Russian President Vladimir Putin held a summit with Kim and signed a deal that included a mutual defence pledge. Washington and Seoul have criticised the two countries' military co-operation, including what they say is a dispatch of North Korean troops to fight for Russia in its war against Ukraine. Previously, state media had released Kim's speech on New Year's Day.Haiti’s health minister has been removed from his post, government officials told The Associated Press on Thursday, following a deadly gang attack on the largest public hospital in the capital, Port-au-Prince . The two government officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the issue, said Health Minister Duckenson Lorthe will be replaced by Justice Minister Patrick Pelissier until a new health minister is found. Two journalists and a police officer were killed Tuesday as gang members burst into the General Hospital and fired indiscriminately at reporters who were there to cover the facility's reopening. It was one of the worst attacks on Haitian media in recent memory. Seven other journalists were injured. Jean Frans Regala, a photographer who survived, said journalists had been invited to the hospital by the health ministry but there was little security at the site. “The fact that the minister of health invited us, you feel that preparations have been made already,” Regala told the AP . “When we made contact with a police unit, the police told us they were not aware of the event." The health minister did not show up at the event, for reasons that have not been explained. On Tuesday, Johnson “Izo” André, considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of the Viv Ansanm group of gangs that has taken control of much of Port-au-Prince, posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital’s reopening. Gang violence has worsened in Haiti since the nation’s president was killed in a 2021 coup attempt. Gangs are believed to control 85% of the capital and earlier this year staged attacks on the main airport and the country's two largest prisons. The Caribbean country has struggled to organize an election that will restore democratic rule, and is currently governed by a transitional council made up of representatives of political parties, business groups and civil society organizations.

Far-right candidate Calin Georgescu will face centre-right contender Elena Lasconi in December 8 run-off. Romania’s Constitutional Court has validated the shock first-round result in its presidential election, setting the stage for a run-off vote on December 8, which could upend the country’s pro-Western orientation and erode backing for Ukraine. The ruling on Monday clears the uncertainty that has hung over the nation since the court demanded a vote recount last week. It also confirms the November 24 victory of little-known far-right candidate Calin Georgescu , which raised suspicions of outside meddling in the electoral process of a country that has been a staunch ally of Ukraine as it fights against Russia’s invasion. “Judges unanimously decided to... confirm and validate the result of the first presidential round on November 24 and holding the second round on December 8,” chief judge Marian Enache said. Georgescu will now face centre-right contender Elena Lasconi in the run-off in the European Union and NATO member state. A day earlier, Romania held a parliamentary election , with the governing left-wing Social Democrat Party (PSD) leading but with far-right parties gaining a third of seats in the new legislature. The outcome of Sunday’s parliamentary election, the second of three ballots scheduled over a period of as many weeks, sets the stage for what is likely to be a period of talks among mainstream parties on forming a governing majority, with the PSD central to the negotiations. PSD leader and Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu told reporters the party has yet to endorse a candidate in the presidential run-off. “Romanians must decide for themselves,” he said. “The PSD will need to be a bridge between EU-funded development and EU and NATO membership and ... a part of Romanians who believe in Christian values and national identity.” With 99.98 percent of votes counted in the parliamentary ballot, the PSD won 22.3 percent, ahead of the hard-right Alliance for Uniting Romanians with 18.3 percent. Lasconi’s centrist opposition, the Save Romania Union (USR), had 12.25 percent, while the junior governing coalition ally, the Liberals, had 14.3 percent. Two far-right groupings, SOS and POT, had 7.75 percent and 6.4 percent respectively, and the ethnic Hungarian Party UDMR was on 6.38 percent. Liberal leader Ilie Bolojan said the party was willing to participate in a pro-Western coalition. “If the president is far-right, it would be very complicated for pro-Europeans to organise and resist in parliament because they will have an extraordinarily difficult 2025,” political scientist Cristian Pirvulescu told the Reuters news agency. Who gets to form the government will ultimately depend on who wins the presidential race, since the president designates a prime minister. A survey conducted by the pollster CURS on December 1 at voting stations indicated that Georgescu could win 57.8 percent in a run-off to Lasconi’s 42.2 percent. The survey polled 24,629 people. “Yesterday’s election shows the pool of voters for Lasconi is very small. The pool of voters for Georgescu can be very large,” Pirvulescu said. “PSD voters have more in common with the far-right candidate, who has an important shot at winning the election.” Georgescu – who relied heavily on social media, particularly TikTok, to reach out to voters – has adopted a soft tone on Russia and criticised the placement of NATO ballistic missiles in Romania, which borders Ukraine . Philipp Lausberg, a senior policy analyst at Belgium-based European Policy Centre, a research institute, told Al Jazeera last week that Georgescu won the anti-establishment vote. “Many are tired of the existing party system. Some don’t feel represented by them,” Lausberg said.How to Watch Top 25 College Basketball Games – Monday, December 30

TORONTO, ONT – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Donald Trump that Americans would also suffer if the president-elect follows through on a plan to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products , a Canadian minister who attended their recent dinner said Monday. Trump threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if they don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders with the United States. He said on social media last week that he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. Recommended Videos Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, attended a dinner with Trump and Trudeau at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club on Friday. Trudeau requested the meeting in a bid to avoid the tariffs by convincing Trump that the northern border is nothing like the U.S. southern border with Mexico . "The prime minister of course spoke about the importance of protecting the Canadian economy and Canadian workers from tariffs, but we also discussed with our American friends the negative impact that those tariffs could have on their economy, on affordability in the United States as well," LeBlanc said in Parliament. If Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation. Economists say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, alcohol and other goods. The Produce Distributors Association, a Washington trade group, said last week that tariffs will raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt U.S. farmers when the countries retaliate. Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the U.S. should Trump follow through on the threat. After his dinner with Trump, Trudeau returned home without assurances the president-elect will back away from threatened tariffs on all products from the major American trading partner. Trump called the talks “productive” but signaled no retreat from a pledge that Canada says unfairly lumps it in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States. “The idea that we came back empty handed is completely false,” LeBlanc said. “We had a very productive discussion with Mr. Trump and his future Cabinet secretaries. ... The commitment from Mr. Trump to continue to work with us was far from empty handed.” Joining Trump and Trudeau at dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to lead the Interior Department, and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser. Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman, told The Associated Press on Sunday that “the message that our border is so vastly different than the Mexican border was really understood.” Hillman, who sat at an adjacent table to Trudeau and Trump, said Canada is not the problem when it comes to drugs and migrants. On Monday, Mexico’s president rejected those comments. “Mexico must be respected, especially by its trading partners,” President Claudia Sheinbaum said. She said Canada had its own problems with fentanyl consumption and “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has.” Flows of migrants and seizures of drugs at the two countries’ border are vastly different. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border during the last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border. Most of the fentanyl reaching the U.S. — where it causes about 70,000 overdose deaths annually — is made by Mexican drug cartels using precursor chemicals smuggled from Asia. On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol reported 1.53 million encounters with migrants at the southwest border with Mexico between October 2023 and September 2024. That compares to 23,721 encounters at the Canadian border during that time. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports as well. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing for national security.NEW YORK , Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tannenbaum Helpern is pleased to announce that Anne-Mette Elkjær Andersen has joined the Firm as partner in the Firm's Corporate practice.

As the Canada Postal worker strike drags on into a third week, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is calling on the federal government to step in. "Seventy-five per cent of small businesses in Canada are impacted by the strike at Canada Post, and it's costing small businesses a huge amount of money; $76 million per day is lost because of the strike," said Jasmin Guenette, CFIB National Affairs Vice-President. "If the strike doesn't end by Wednesday, it will have cost small businesses $1 billion in revenue." According to the CFIB, that includes a combination of lost sales and the increased cost of doing business. It's a busy time of year for local businesses, which have had to pivot, including Vamos Outdoors in Almonte. "We are very blessed, we have wonderful customers," said owner Lisa Nye-Labonte. "November and December are our busiest months of the year." Nye-Labonte says the business increased the price of shipping by 10 per cent to adjust to other carriers like UPS and it has hit pause on overseas sales. "Internationally, we have noticed the price is quite high and so, in those instances, we have refunded orders and lost sales due to that," she said. The CFIB says it's small businesses who are paying the price. "Either impose binding arbitration or introduce back-to-work legislation because the strike cannot continue for many more days," said Guenette. The United States Postal Service has also suspended mail and package delivery to Canada temporarily. This comes as some local businesses like Needle in a Craft Stack close online stores temporarily. "Eighty per cent of my shop is letter mail, so a couple postal stamps compared to shipping to someone's front door is a huge jump," said owner Melissa Tachie-Menson. As the strike continues into the busiest time of year, it begs the question of whether businesses like Vamos Outdoors will return once it's over. "I don't know," said Nye-Labonte. "It is convenient for us, but I do feel that they do need to make some changes." Canada Post says it presented the union with a framework to reach negotiated agreements in the dispute, while the union says its negotiators are reviewing the proposal.

Ousted Syrian leader Assad flees to Moscow after fall of Damascus, Russian state media say DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Russia media say ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad has fled to Moscow and received asylum from his longtime ally. The reports came hours after a stunning rebel advance swept into Damascus to cheers and ended the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule. Thousands of Syrians poured into streets echoing with celebratory gunfire, joyful after a stifling, nearly 14-year civil war. But the swiftly moving events raised questions about the future of the country and the wider region. The rebels face the daunting task of healing bitter divisions in a country still split among armed factions. One rebel commander said “we will not deal with people the way the Assad family did." The fall of Bashar Assad after 13 years of war in Syria brings to an end a decades-long dynasty BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad has fled the country. Assad’s departure on Sunday brings to a dramatic close his nearly 14-year struggle to hold onto power in a brutal civil war that became a proxy battlefield for regional and international powers. Assad’s exit stood in stark contrast to his first months as Syria’s unlikely president in 2000, when many hoped he would be a young reformer after three decades of his father’s iron grip. But faced with protests of his rule that erupted in March 2011, Assad turned to his father's brutal tactics to crush dissent. A long stalemate was quickly broken when opposition groups in northwest Syria launched a surprise offensive late last month. Who is Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of the insurgency that toppled Syria's Assad? BEIRUT (AP) — Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the militant leader who led the stunning insurgency that toppled Syria’s President Bashar Assad, has spent years working to remake his public image and that of his fighters. He renounced longtime ties to al-Qaida and depicts himself as a champion of pluralism and tolerance. The extent of that transformation from jihadi extremist to would-be state builder is now put to the test. The 42-year-old al-Golani is labeled a terrorist by the United States. He has not appeared publicly since Damascus fell early Sunday. But he and his insurgent force, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, stand to be a major player in whatever comes next. Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise US prices and won't rule out revenge prosecutions WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump says he can’t guarantee his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won’t raise prices for American consumers. And he's suggesting once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned. The president-elect made the comments in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday. He also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning “things do change.” The hunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO's elusive killer yields new evidence, but few answers NEW YORK (AP) — Police don’t know who he is, where he is, or why he did it. As the frustrating search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer got underway for a fifth day Sunday, investigators reckoned with a tantalizing contradiction: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. One conclusion they are confident of, however: It was a targeted attack, not a random one. On Sunday morning, police declined to comment on the contents of a backpack found in Central Park that they believe was carried by the killer. Thompson was shot and killed Wednesday outside of a hotel in Manhattan. Trump calls for immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and says a US withdrawal from NATO is possible WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is pushing Russian leader Vladimir Putin to act to reach an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine. Trump describes it as part of his active efforts as president-elect to end the war despite being weeks from taking office. Trump also said he would be open to reducing military aid to Ukraine and pulling the United States out of NATO. Those are two threats that have alarmed Ukraine, NATO allies and many in the U.S. national security community. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says any deal would have to pave the way to a lasting peace. The Kremlin's spokesman says Moscow is open to talks with Ukraine. South Korean prosecutors detain ex-defense chief over martial law imposition SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean prosecutors have detained a former defense minister who allegedly recommended last week’s brief but stunning martial law imposition to President Yoon Suk Yeol. Local media say that ex-Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun voluntarily appeared on Sunday at a Seoul prosecutors’ office, where he had his mobile phone confiscated and was detained. A law enforcement official says Kim was later sent to a Seoul detention facility. Kim's detention came a day after Yoon avoided an opposition-led bid to impeach him, with most ruling party lawmakers boycotting a floor vote to prevent a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. Gaza health officials say latest Israeli airstrikes kill at least 14 including children DEIR AL BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian health officials say Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza have killed at least 14 people including children, while the bombing of a hospital in northern Gaza has wounded a half-dozen patients. Israel’s military continues its latest offensive against Hamas militants in northern Gaza, whose remaining Palestinians have been almost completely cut off from the rest of the territory amid a growing humanitarian crisis. One airstrike flattened a residential building in the urban Bureij refugee camp Sunday afternoon. That's according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby city of Deir al-Balah, where the casualties were taken. Trump's return may be a boon for Netanyahu, but challenges abound in a changed Middle East TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is jubilant about President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House. Trump's first term policies skewed heavily in favor of Israel, and he has picked stalwart Israel supporters for key positions in his administration. But much has transpired since Trump left office in early 2021. The turmoil in the Middle East, the lofty ambitions of Netanyahu’s far-right governing coalition and Netanyahu’s own personal relationship with the president-elect could dampen that enthusiasm and complicate what on the surface looks like a seamless alliance. First 12-team College Football Playoff set, Oregon seeded No. 1 and SMU edges Alabama for last spot SMU captured the last open spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff, bumping Alabama to land in a bracket that placed undefeated Oregon at No. 1. The selection committee preferred the Mustangs (11-2), losers of a heartbreaker in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game, who had a far less difficult schedule than Alabama (9-3) of the SEC but one fewer loss. The first-of-its-kind 12-team bracket marks a new era for college football, though the Alabama-SMU debate made clear there is no perfect formula. The tournament starts Dec. 20-21 with four first-round games. It concludes Jan. 20 with the national title game in Atlanta.
