p777 online casino 'Bashar al-Assad, family in Moscow' after ouster from power Russian news agencies say ousted Syrian president and his family granted asylum on humanitarian grounds MOSCOW: Syria's Bashar al-Assad and his family have arrived in Russia and have been granted asylum by the Russian authorities, Russian news agencies reported on Sunday, citing a Kremlin source. The Interfax news agency quoted the unnamed source as saying: "President Assad of Syria has arrived in Moscow. Russia has granted them (him and his family) asylum on humanitarian grounds." Earlier, two Syrian sources said the disappearance of the Assad’s plane from tracking could indicate it had been shot down, or that it had switched off its transponder. Syria rebel fighters raced into Damascus unopposed on Sunday, overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad and ending nearly six decades of his family's iron-fisted rule after a lightning advance that reversed the course of a 13-year civil war. In one of the most consequential turning points in the Middle East for generations, the fall of Assad's government wiped out a bastion from which Iran and Russia exercised influence across the Arab world. Moscow gave him and his family asylum. His sudden overthrow, at the hands of a Turkish-backed revolt, limits Iran's ability to spread weapons to its allies and could cost Russia its Mediterranean naval base. It also may pave the way for millions of refugees scattered for more than a decade in camps across Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan to finally return home. For Syrians, it brought a sudden unexpected end to a war that had been in deep freeze for years, with hundreds of thousands dead, cities pounded to dust, an economy hollowed out by global sanctions and seemingly no resolution in sight. "How many people were displaced across the world? How many people lived in tents? How many drowned in the seas?" the top rebel commander Abu Mohammed al-Golani told a huge crowd at the medieval Umayyad Mosque in central Damascus, referring to refugees who drowned trying to reach Europe. "A new history, my brothers, is being written in the entire region after this great victory," he said. It would take hard work to build a new Syria which he said would be "a beacon for the Islamic nation". The Assad police state — known since his father seized power in the 1960s as one of the harshest in the Middle East with hundreds of thousands of political prisoners in its gulag — melted away overnight. Bewildered and elated inmates poured out of jails after rebels blasted away the locks on their cells. Reunited families wept and wailed in joy. Newly freed prisoners were filmed at dawn running through the Damascus streets holding up the fingers of both hands to show how many years they had been in prison. "We toppled the regime!" a voice shouted and a prisoner yelled and skipped with delight. As the sun set in Damascus without Assad for the first time, the roads leading into the city were mostly empty, apart from motorcycles carrying armed men and rebel vehicles caked with brownish mud as camouflage. Some men could be seen looting a shopping centre on the road between the capital and the Lebanese border, stuffing goods into plastic bags or into pick-up trucks. The myriad checkpoints lining the road to Damascus were empty. Posters of Assad had been torn at his eyes. A burning Syrian military truck was parked diagonally on the road out of the city. A thick column of black smoke billowed out from the Mazzeh neighbourhood, where Israeli strikes earlier had targeted Syrian state security branches, according to two security sources. Throughout the evening, intermittent gunfire rang out throughout the city in apparent celebration. Shops and restaurants closed early in line with a curfew imposed by the rebels. Just before it came into effect, people could be seen briskly walking home with stacks of bread. Earlier, the rebels said they had entered the capital with no sign of army deployments. Thousands of people in cars and on foot congregated at a main square in Damascus waving and chanting "Freedom". People were seen walking inside the Al-Rawda Presidential Palace, with some leaving carrying furniture from inside. A motorcycle was parked on the intricately-laid parquet floor of a gilded hall. Golani, whose group was once Syria's branch of al Qaeda but has since softened its image to reassure members of minority sects and foreign countries, said there was no room for turning back. "The future is ours," he said in a statement read on state TV. The Syrian rebel coalition said it was working to complete the transfer of power to a transitional governing body with executive powers. "The great Syrian revolution has moved from the stage of struggle to overthrow the Assad regime to the struggle to build a Syria together that befits the sacrifices of its people," it added in a statement. Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali, prime minister under Assad, called for free elections and said he had been in contact with Golani to discuss the transitional period. Jubilant supporters of the revolt stormed Syrian embassies in a number of cities around the world, lowering red, white and black Assad-era flags and replacing them with the green, white and black flag flown throughout the war by his opponents. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Assad's fall was a direct result of blows Israel had dealt to Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah, once the lynchpin of Assad's security forces but pounded by Israel over the last two months. French President Emmanuel Macron said "the barbaric state has fallen" and paid tribute to the Syrian people. When the celebrations fade, Syria's new leaders will face the daunting task of trying to deliver stability to a diverse country that will need billions of dollars in aid to rebuild. During the civil war, which erupted in 2011 as an uprising against Assad, his forces and their Russian allies bombed cities to rubble. The refugee crisis across the Middle East was one of the biggest of modern times and caused a political reckoning in Europe when a million people arrived in 2015. President Joe Biden's administration was monitoring developments but has not adjusted the positioning of the US troops, officials told Reuters. The biggest strategic losers were Russia and Iran, which had intervened in the war's early years to rescue Assad, helping him recapture most territory and all major cities. The front lines were frozen four years ago under a deal Russia and Iran reached with Turkey. Even after Assad had fled, Israel continued to strike targets associated with his government and its Iranian-backed allies, including one in Damascus where Israel had previously accused Iran of developing missiles. Netanyahu said the toppling of Assad could make it easier for Israel to reach a ceasefire deal to free hostages in Gaza. On Sunday rebels stormed Iran's embassy, Iran's English-language Press TV reported. Iran's foreign ministry said Syria's fate was the sole responsibility of the Syrian people. Hezbollah had pulled all its remaining forces from Syria on Saturday, two Lebanese security sources said.

NEW YORK — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid a mixed Monday of trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% from its all-time high set Friday to post a record for the 54th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that's been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 28.7% to lead the market. Following allegations of misconduct and the resignation of its public auditor, the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company's board. It also said it doesn't expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 3.2% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 0.5% after the chip company said CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger's replacement, and its chair said it's "committed to restoring investor confidence." Intel recently lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street's frenzy around AI. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 5% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what's expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record and coming off Black Friday. Target fell 1.2%. Walmart rose 0.2%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.4%. All told, the S&P 500 added 14.77 points to 6,047.15. The Dow fell 128.65 to 44,782.00, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 185.78 to 19,403.95. The stock market largely took Donald Trump's latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won't create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar's value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris over the French government's budget. The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury ended the day at 4.19%. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

Shambhu/Ambala The Haryana Police and paramilitary forces on Sunday stopped a group of farmers shortly after they resumed their foot march to Delhi from the Shambhu border in the afternoon, citing prohibitory orders and a lack of requisite permission for the protest, even as farmers alleged that at least seven of them were injured in tear gas shelling from the security forces. The agitating farmers suspended their foot march and said they will announce their next course of action on Monday. A group of 101 farmers set off on a foot march this afternoon but were halted by the multilayer barricade set up by the Haryana security personnel. The Haryana Police initially offered farmers tea and biscuits and even showered flower petals, but as the confrontation escalated, police used tear gas shells and water cannons to disperse the protesters. According to union leaders, seven farmers suffered injuries in the police action compelling both the protesting farmer unions — Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) — to suspend the Delhi chalo march. Of the seven injured farmers, one has been referred to the PGIMER, Chandigarh, after his health deteriorated, according of officials of the Patiala health department. The Friday confrontation had left 15 farmers injured. The situation on Sunday escalated when a few farmers tried to break the iron mesh on the cemented wall-like structure, forcing the Haryana Police to use tear gas shells, water cannons and chemical sprays to disperse the agitating farmers. An official statement on Sunday evening said the administration kept appealing to the protesting farmers to reveal their identities but there were some “aggressive people” in the group who repeatedly tried to bring down the police barricades by using ropes and iron hooks. Ambala police had earlier said the farmer outfits, which are agitating for a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) and other demands, can march to Delhi only after getting permission from the national capital administration. KMM convener Sarwan Singh Pandher said: “Once again, the entire nation watched how farmers were attacked by Haryana Police officials with tear gas shells and sprays.” “We have called back the ‘jatha’ (group of 101 farmers). Whatever happened today was seen by the whole country. The (Haryana) administration used tactics like offering biscuits, ‘langar’, and showering flower petals. Immediately after showering flowers, they fired teargas shells and rubber bullets at farmers,” Pandher claimed. He said the farmers who sustained injuries included Resham Singh, who was referred to the PGIMER, Chandigarh, Dilbagh Singh, Major Singh and Harbhajan Singh. The farmer leader said that both the unions would hold a joint meeting on Monday to decide the future course of action, and the Delhi Chalo march would remain suspended until then. Ambala admn meets farm leaders On the sideline of the stand-off, a meeting between farm leaders and the Haryana government along with Punjab police officials, was held in Rajpura. The meeting was attended by Patiala range DIG Mandeep Singh Sidhu, Patiala SSP Nanak Singh, Ambala deputy commissioner Parth Gupta and SP Surinder Singh Bhoria. After the meeting, Sidhu said: “The meeting was held in a positive atmosphere. This is a good sign and dialogue between farmers and officials will continue.” “We listened to the farmers’ demands in the meeting and efforts will be made to resolve their issues through talks,” Ambala DC Parth Gupta said. “They (farmers) have asked us to arrange a meeting with the Union government where they could put forward their demands. We will take up their appeal at the appropriate forum so that the issue can be resolved at the earliest,” the DC added. Dallewal’s health deteriorates Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal’s fast-unto-death entered the 13th day on Sunday at the Khanauri border, with farmers claiming that the 67-year-old has lost 8kg weight. The farmers have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab-Haryana since February 13 when their march to Delhi was stopped by security forces. Besides MSP, the farmers are demanding a farm debt waiver, pension for farmers and farm labourers, no hike in electricity tariff, withdrawal of police cases (against farmers), and ‘justice’ for the victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
