Sen. Mitch McConnell said Thursday he will lead a subcommittee overseeing defense spending as he carves out new roles once he relinquishes his long-running post as Senate Republican leader. The Kentucky Republican revealed he will assume the chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. The role dovetails with his constant message that America needs a bulked-up military to deter threats from adversaries such as Russia, Iran and China. The transition comes as McConnell is ending his role as the longest-serving Senate leader in history, just as Republicans prepare to take majority control of the chamber after big gains in this month's election. Republicans elected South Dakota Sen. John Thune , a top deputy to McConnell, as the next Senate majority leader. McConnell, 82, said Thursday he will assume the subcommittee chairmanship at a critical time. “America’s national security interests face the gravest array of threats since the Second World War," the senator said in a statement. “At this critical moment, a new Senate Republican majority has a responsibility to secure the future of U.S. leadership and primacy.” McConnell frequently evokes Ronald Reagan’s mantra of “peace through strength” when discussing foreign policy risks and how the U.S. should respond. McConnell's stance could clash with President-elect Donald Trump’s “America First” doctrine on foreign affairs. McConnell worked with Trump on a tax cuts package and the appointment of conservative judges — including three justices to the nine-member Supreme Court — during Trump's first term as president. Fighting back against isolationism within his own party, McConnell has championed sending weapons and other aid to Ukraine as it fends off Russia’s invasion. McConnell said Thursday he's also set to become chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, which is often a more low-key panel at the center of big issues, both at the Capitol and in the country. The committee oversees the administration of the Senate side of the building, including during inaugurations. But it also puts McConnnell at the center of weighty topics, namely federal elections and voting rights as well as the procedures of the Senate, including the debate around the filibuster. McConnell said the committee will have important work in the coming two years. “Defending the Senate as an institution and protecting the right to political speech in our elections remain among my longest-standing priorities,” he said. There had been considerable speculation about what roles McConnell would take after stepping down as Republican leader. He has two years left in his current Senate term and has not signaled whether he will run for reelection in Kentucky in 2026. McConnell has been a prolific appropriator for the Bluegrass State, a role he’s well positioned to continue.

After much digging, I'm making a case for this 100-year-old German tradition that is the answer to all my whimsical, folky Christmas dreams. Sure, we all know the Christmas decorating classics: tree ornaments, fairy lights, pine cones, Christmas wreaths , and Christmas garlands , but have you ever considered a putz house or two? The charm of the vintage Christmas decor trend isn't fading just yet, so I've been on the hunt for something sugary sweet, and totally retro to add to my collection of paper garlands, mercury baubles, and icicle tinsel. Here, I'm making a case for the return of putz houses. So I'm sure you're wondering what is a 'putz house' anyway? These miniature festive houses hail from Germany and became popular in the early 20th century, around 100 years ago. Designed to look like little festive European homes with pitched roofs and pretty decor, the name comes from the German word putzen , which means 'to decorate' or 'to adorn'. Usually around 5-10 inches tall, the original versions were typically handmade using paper or cardboard and accessorized with glitter to create a nostalgic Christmas village to display on the mantel, window, or under the tree. When you bring a cluster of them together, they create an enchanting, magical display that is perfect for capturing that cozy, vintage Christmas vibe we're all seeking. Today, you'll find them made from paper, ceramic, or wood and can pick them up from Target for as little as $5, shop handcrafted versions from small sellers, or go all out and score this rare Complete set of 8 Christmas Putz Houses at 1st Dibs that is currently selling for just under $7,000. Here are a few of my favorites I have found to shop now in time for Christmas. Surprisingly, Amazon have a great selection of handmade putz houses from small sellers including this pretty pink townhouse complete with miniature red bows. I want to move in. Dating from the early 1940s and made in the U.S.A, these four vintage putz houses depict a snowy chalet scheme and are in great condition. They might be tiny and a little fragile, but nothing does it like the real thing. This light-up LED paper house from Target is just as sweet as its vintage counterparts. I love the soft green color scheme and mini car, this will cast a warm glow from your mantel once you add the included batteries. Super sturdy thanks to being made from clay, these intricately decorated village houses from Pottery Barn are finished with a hint of glitter and gingerbread-style trim. They also have LED bulbs fitted inside. Another rare vintage find, these 6 little pink, blue, and white glittered houses hail from 1950s Japan (the seller has noted a stamp on the bottom). Sure, shopping vintage isn't budget-friendly, but they're so irresistibly charming. For a more contemporary take, the team at Terrain has adorned this large faux foliage wreath with tiny, colorful paper putz houses and brush trees for a really cheerful addition to your front door. MacKenzie-Childs home decor is always hand-crafted and hand-painted, so to get this set for just under $90 feels like a good deal. Featuring her signature check print, they're a lovely mix of old and new charm. These 2 coordinating houses from Amazon are full of rustic charm. Made from wood, they can be powered with 2AA batteries to glow from within. I love the bottle trees and soft pink roofs. Finally, if you feel like doing a little DIY, this crafting kit from Anthropologie helps you to build 3 houses, 3 delicately decorated trees, 1 mailbox (for Santa, of course), and a clock. A fun stocking filler for sure. If you’re looking to add a unique and personal touch to your Christmas decorations, putz houses might just be the missing piece you've been looking for. Beyond just being super cute, they embody a rich heritage of craftsmanship and will bring a sense of warm nostalgia to your home.Greens Senator David Shoebridge has rebuked the Albanese government for cutting deals with the Coalition to pass "brutal" immigration bills. On Thursday, Senators sat until close to midnight and passed 31 bills, including the social media ban for under-16s and immigration laws that gave the government additional powers when dealing with non-citizens. Three migration bills were bundled together and passed with Coalition support, giving authority to the Australian government to to pay third-party countries to take non-citizens, as well as banning travellers from certain nations and criminal penalties for non-citizens refusing to cooperate with their deportation case. Mr Shoebridge said the Labor government "gave themselves the power" to deport more than 80,000 people and "weren't telling the truth" about the details of the legislation. However, Immigration Minister Tony Burke told Sky News political editor Andrew Clennell that this "bizarre speculation" was not true. "I think maybe even from your next guest that we're about to deport 80,000 people or something like that. It's nothing like that," Mr Burke said. "But there are... large numbers of people who leave voluntarily every week, small numbers who leave forcibly, and smaller numbers who then lawyer up and say, 'well, I'm not going anywhere'. "And any country has a right to run its own immigration system. And that's what we want to be able to do." Mr Burke also suggested scrapping business visas from countries who were refusing to take back their deportees. Mr Shoebridge said while the Prime Minister and Immigration Minister claimed the legislation would only cover the 250 individuals part of the NZYQ cohort, the law would actually cover 80,000 people. "This is the government not telling the truth," Mr Shoebridge told the Sunday Agenda host. "They've given this power to a potential future Coalition minister, you tell me James Paterson won't be deporting thousands of people? "I want to make sure we don't have James Paterson as a future immigration minister." Mr Shoebridge said the government's "brutal" legislation passed due to it making a deal with the Coalition. "This was the Coalition, and they said it, this was the Coalition driving immigration policy," Mr Shoebridge said. "The reason they were signing onto this was they would never get these powers themselves. "They could only get them through a completely supine, surrendering Labor government that have given in." On Wednesday, Liberal Senator and shadow home affairs minister James Paterson said the Coalition had negotiated in "good faith" with the Albanese government. "We will not allow their mess and incompetence when it comes to community safety and national security to harm the Australian public any more than it already has," he said. Shadow immigration minister Dan Tehan said the Coalition was "basically running the immigration system for the government" after the deal was made. Mr Shoebridge was asked whether it was "reasonable" to be able to get criminals out of the country if they cannot be detained in immigration detention. The Greens Senator said Australia dealt with criminals through the justice system, but immigration matters should be dealt with separately. "We believe the immigration system should deal with immigration matters, not be a quasi-criminal system, not just us, the High Court has been telling the Parliament time after time this," he said.

This is part of the COMMODITIES 2025 series where our reporters bring to you key themes that will drive commodities markets in 2025. Australia is poised see a year-over-year jump in wheat production in the 2024-25 marketing year (October-September) following excellent weather on the East Coast and improved showers across Western Australia. Market participants estimate a 4 million mt increase year over year for the wheat crop to top 30 million mt. Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics has pegged Australia’s wheat production in MY 2024-25 at 31.9 million mt, up 23% year over year. However, concerns remain over quality downgrades as heavy rainfall in late November delayed harvest and impacted parameters such as test weight. “The situation isn’t as bad in Western Australia, but the East Coast got pretty big rain events [in late November],” a trade source based in Australia said. “At the time of the rain interruptions, we estimated there was still 5-6 million mt of grain unharvested across southern New South Wales, Victoria and southeast South Australia,” said Rod Baker, agricultural analyst at Australian Crop Forecasters. Initial trade estimates indicated downgrades of 3-4 million mt wheat, primarily in Victoria and southern New South Wales. IKON Commodities expects a smaller downgrade of 2-3 million mt. However, a resumption of harvest in mid-December suggested that the impact could be lower than anticipated, trade sources reported. In Western Australia, farmers are grappling with lower-than-expected protein in the state’s crop. “Pricing for better protein and quality grades seem to hold better or remain firm [ in Western Australia],” a Perth-based trade source said. Expectations of significant improvement in protein levels as the harvest moves down south have not materialized, and average crop protein levels are generally expected to remain lower year over year, sources added. Australia’s crop profile will greatly improve its relevance in feed wheat markets in Asia, though fierce competition is still anticipated from feed corn. Its competitiveness in the milling wheat market, however, will likely be restricted. “With a slow start to the export marketing year along with subdued international demand our export estimate currently sits at 21.5 million mt,” Baker said. However, Baker noted that Australia could end up shipping out 23.0-23.5 million mt wheat. According to trade participants, Australia is expected to export between 22-23 million mt. The ABARES has estimated Australia to export 20.9 million mt in MY 2024-25, as against 22.5 million mt in the previous year. Asian demand remained largely subdued during most of 2024, led by China’s absence from the global markets. China returned to the market in October 2024, booking Australian and Canadian wheat for the first quarter in 2025. China’s return along with easing global wheat prices has encouraged regional buyers in Asia to improve their purchases and temporarily abandon their largely hand-to-mouth procurement strategy throughout much of 2024. On top of competitive feed corn prices pressuring feed wheat demand in most Asian destinations, mounting expectations of a larger-than-anticipated feed wheat production from Australia has also kept some buyers on the sidelines in hopes of cheaper prices. “Our projections continue to point to a slowdown in While trade participants are keeping a close watch on potential Sino-US trade conflicts ahead of Donald Trump’s impending presidency, most believe wheat markets are unlikely to see direct impacts. “China has been reducing its dependency on US wheat and should be able to comfortably do so in 2025, thanks to high production from Canada and Australia,” said a grains trader based in Singapore. India has been absent from the global wheat market, due to a ban on exports and high import tariffs but rising domestic prices have kept the market on its feet through the year. Currently, wheat prices across key markets of India are around Rupee 28,000/mt ($330.07/mt) to Rupee 28,500/mt, up nearly 12% since the beginning of 2024. Traders believe prices will drop in coming months on expectations of higher output. Trade participants expect higher yield due to adequate soil moisture in key wheat growing states following robust rainfall during the monsoon season. Traders also expect a higher wheat acreage on expectations of better remuneration. So far, farmers have planted wheat across 23.9 million hectares, up 2.3% year over year, according to the agriculture ministry. In MY 2023-24 (April-March), India harvested 113.2 million mt wheat, 2.4% higher year over year, the ministry said. “Wheat output is likely to increase due to the anticipated rise in area and better yields in northern states,” said Dipanshi Agarwal, agricultural economist at S&P Global Commodity Insights. Some in the trade circles have been seeking a reduction in import duties for wheat from the current 40% to ease the supply tightness. However, the government has ruled out allowing cheaper imports. Instead, the government has initiated measures, including selling wheat from government stocks at the open market sales scheme and imposing several stock holding norms. Despite the expected rise in production in MY 2024-25, India is likely to remain absent from the global exports market as the government looks to contain rising domestic prices.

MADRID (AP) — Spanish King Felipe VI used his traditional Christmas Eve speech to remember the victims of the catastrophic Valencia flash floods , and urged the country to remain calm despite public debates around hot-button issues such as immigration and housing affordability. In a pre-recorded speech that usually reviews the year's most relevant issues, Felipe said Spain “must never forget the pain and sadness" the flood have caused. The Oct. 29 floods killed more than 225 people in eastern Spain, damaging countless homes and leaving graveyards of cars piled on top of each other. In some towns, the heavy downpours that caused the floods dropped as much as a year's worth of rain in just eight hours. In early November, as Spaniards' shock at the wreckage turned into frustration, a political blame game began, directed especially at regional authorities who failed to send timely emergency alerts to cell phones on the day of the floods. The frustration of residents in hard-hit Paiporta near Valencia was on display when people tossed mud and shouted insults at the king and government officials in early November when they made their first visit to the town. “We have seen — and understood — the frustration, the pain, the impatience, the demands for greater and more effective coordination," Felipe said about how the disaster was managed, adding that he had asked that aid be sent to everyone who needed it. He also addressed the country's housing crunch and high rents, which have become a leading concern in this European Union country that is the eurozone's fourth-largest economy. Fast-rising rents are especially acute in cities like Barcelona and Madrid, where incomes have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment. Felipe urged that “all the actors involved reflect” and "listen to each other” so that they facilitate bringing access to housing under “affordable conditions.” Spain's immigration debate should keep in mind the country's European partners and immigrants' countries of origin, Felipe said, warning that “the way in which we are able to address immigration ... will say a lot in the future about our principles and the quality of our democracy.” Felipe said Spain need to remain calm in the public sphere, even in the face of a “sometimes thunderous” contest in its politics.Indian teenager admits to ‘some nerves’ in bid for world chess crownThe King and the Prime Minister have paid tribute to Jimmy Carter following the former US president’s death on Sunday aged 100. In a message to the American people, the King expressed “great sadness” at the news of Mr Carter’s death, describing him as “a committed public servant” who “devoted his life to promoting peace and human rights”. He added: “His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. “My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter’s family and the American people at this time.” Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981 and spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Carter had “lived his values in the service of others to the very end” through “decades of selfless public service”. Praising a “lifelong dedication to peace” that saw him win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Sir Keir added: “Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad.” Tributes to Mr Carter followed the announcement of his death by his family on Sunday, more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love.” Very sorry to hear of President Carter’s passing. I pay tribute to his decades of selfless public service. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time. — Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) US President Joe Biden, one of the first elected politicians to endorse Mr Carter’s bid for the presidency in 1976, said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” Other UK politicians also paid tribute to Mr Carter. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said he was “an inspiration” who “led a truly remarkable life dedicated to public service with a genuine care for people”. Scottish First Minister John Swinney described the former president as “a good, decent, honest man who strove for peace in all that he did”, while Welsh First Minister said he was “a remarkable man” and “a humanitarian and scholar”. Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair said Mr Carter’s “life was a testament to public service”. He added: “I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington DC before being buried in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and, finally, the White House, where he took office as 39th president in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked more than four decades leading The Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center virtually eliminated Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service
