    Syria’s Foreign Ministry Promises Support After Rebels Capture Damascus

    After the fall of the government, Syria’s Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday that it will keep helping its citizens living abroad. This decision came after rebels took control of the capital city, Damascus. The ministry said on its website that they are dedicated to assisting all Syrians and that many other ministries are urging their workers to come back to help.

    “A new chapter is being written in Syria’s history,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. They promised to continue serving citizens and handling their issues, emphasizing that they want a future with “justice and equality” for everyone.

    According to reports, the Syrian government seems to have collapsed after opposition fighters claimed they entered Damascus. A monitor from the opposition said that President Bashar Assad left the country on a flight early Sunday morning. Currently, there has been no official statement from the Syrian government regarding this change.

    This marks the first time that opposition forces have reached Damascus since 2018 when government troops took back areas around the city after a long siege. Just the night before, opposition fighters captured the central city of Homs, Syria’s third largest, as government forces retreated.

  • Warren Buffett’s Shift from Cash Gifts to Stocks for Family Legacy

    Warren Buffett’s Shift from Cash Gifts to Stocks for Family Legacy

    Warren Buffett, the famous investor, used to give his kids $10,000 in cash for Christmas. It was fun at first, but he wanted to give them more than just money for a holiday; he wanted to build a lasting legacy.

    His former daughter-in-law, Mary Buffett, shared a story. One Christmas, instead of cash, he gave her $10,000 in shares of a company he had recently bought, like Coca-Cola. Mary thought the stock was worth even more than what he gave her, so she kept it, and it grew in value. Since then, Buffett has given his family stocks, including shares in Wells Fargo, which they appreciate and often invest more in because they know it will grow.

    Even though he’s very rich, Buffett is known for living a simple life. He drives a 10-year-old Cadillac and still lives in the house he bought in the late 1950s. His daughter, Susie, said that just because he won’t give them billions when he’s gone doesn’t mean he isn’t a generous parent. She agrees with his idea of not giving too much money to kids, saying, “It would be crazy to do anything like that.”

    At family Christmas gatherings, discussions are often about smart money management. Mary noted that when they gather at Buffett’s property in Laguna Beach, they chat about companies and investing, which is something Buffett loves to talk about.

  • Farmers Clash with Police While Marching to Delhi for Fair Crop Prices

    Farmers Clash with Police While Marching to Delhi for Fair Crop Prices

    Farmers from Punjab tried to march to Delhi to demand better prices for their crops (Minimum Support Price, or MSP), but Haryana police stopped them. They put up strong barriers and used tear gas to keep the farmers from crossing the border at Shambhu.

    The police also used pepper spray on farmers who got too close. They told the farmers to move back, claiming that the group moving forward didn’t match the list of 101 farmers who had permission to march. A police officer said they needed to check the farmers’ IDs before letting anyone through, as some were moving ahead as a large crowd.

    One farmer explained, “We brought our 101 members today. If the police want to check our IDs, we will cooperate. But they’re using a lot of tear gas, which is affecting us.” He added, “We’re ready to fight for our rights. The Prime Minister must solve our issues or let us go to Delhi.”

    The farmers came prepared, wearing masks to protect themselves from the tear gas. They also tried to cover tear gas shells with wet bags to lessen the impact. This foot march comes after their first attempt to reach Delhi was interrupted back in February.

  • Manchu Family Feud: Mohan Babu and Manoj Clash Over Assault Claims

    Manchu Family Feud: Mohan Babu and Manoj Clash Over Assault Claims

    There are reports of a fight between members of the Manchu family that got serious on Sunday morning. Mohan Babu and his son, Manchu Manoj, both called the police, claiming each other had hurt them. However, Mohan Babu later said through a spokesperson that these reports are not true. He said, “There is no truth in the news that we filed complaints against each other. Media should stop spreading false stories.”

    Earlier, it was reported that Manoj went to the police station after his father allegedly hit him and that he was hurt in the fight. Then, Mohan also reportedly told the police that his son attacked him. The family feud seems to be about a property dispute.

    As more news spread, Manoj mentioned that a person named Vinay, who helps with Mohan Babu’s university, may have attacked him on Mohan’s orders. This story is still developing, and both Mohan and Manoj have not spoken to the press directly yet.

    This isn’t the first time there have been issues in the Manchu family. Earlier in 2023, Manoj posted and then deleted a video online, saying his brother, Vishnu Manchu, hurts their relatives and friends. Vishnu joked about the situation later, saying, “This is just the beginning…#HOM #HouseOfManchus.” His team claimed that Manoj’s video was part of a ‘reality show,’ but Manoj and their sister Lakshmi settled those claims with the media.

  • Mehbooba Mufti Advocates Age Relaxation for JK Police Aspirants

    Mehbooba Mufti Advocates Age Relaxation for JK Police Aspirants

    PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti expressed hope that the Jammu and Kashmir government will allow age relaxation for police sub-inspector candidates. She pointed out that recruitment has been delayed since 2019, leaving many aspiring candidates in uncertainty. Mehbooba called for urgent support for this demand in a post on X, tagging Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

    She said, “Many JKPSI hopefuls face a tough future due to recruitment delays, corruption, and exam cancellations. Age relaxation is a fair request, and I hope it’s granted soon.”

    The police sub-inspector test was held in 2022, but the results were canceled after claims of cheating and fraud. A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry was started, leading to charges against 24 people, including a BSF officer.

  • Kerala Open to Adani Projects with Emphasis on Sustainability

    Kerala Open to Adani Projects with Emphasis on Sustainability

    Kerala is open to talking about new projects with the Adani Group if they benefit the people and the state, according to P Rajeev, the Minister of Law, Industries, and Coir. However, Kerala is careful about allowing big industries that might harm the environment.

    Rajeev mentioned that there is already a significant Adani investment in the Vizhinjam Seaport near Thiruvananthapuram. The current government decided to continue with the port project started by the previous administration because it helps the state’s economy and creates jobs for its people.

    The minister explained that Kerala is not willing to offer special incentives to the Adani Group and wants to follow strict conditions. About recent allegations against the Adani Group, he said they will still work together, but they want a mutual benefit from any new projects.

    Rajeev also pointed out that the government doesn’t support privatizing electricity and water supply. While they collaborate with the Adani Group on the Vizhinjam port, Kerala opposes giving the Adani Group control of the nearby international airport.

    The minister stressed that the state is not against big industries, but they must not pollute the environment. Kerala is looking for investments in clean sectors, like medical devices, robot manufacturing, and spice processing. Rajeev noted that Kerala aims to be a hub for knowledge-based industries, thanks to its talented workforce. The government plans to declare Kerala the first digitally literate state in India and is proud to be ranked number one for ease of doing business.

    Though some may worry about high wages in Kerala, Rajeev said companies will benefit thanks to worker productivity. He also reassured that the state doesn’t have major issues with strikes or violence in industries, unlike other states. He mentioned a law that protects workers’ rights but clarified it does not apply in industrial and logistics parks, and demanding money is a crime.

  • Pawar Supports Mamata: BJP’s Darekar Questions Rahul Gandhi’s Leadership”

    Pawar Supports Mamata: BJP’s Darekar Questions Rahul Gandhi’s Leadership”

    On Sunday, BJP leader Pravin Darekar said that when Sharad Pawar backed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to lead the INDIA bloc, it showed that he thinks Rahul Gandhi isn’t a good leader for the Congress party anymore. Darekar said, “I believe Pawar is suggesting that Rahul Gandhi can’t lead and that Congress isn’t able to guide the alliance now. It seems like there’s one message from him, but also conflicting words. Only time will tell what he truly thinks.”

    Sharad Pawar recently praised Mamata Banerjee, calling her a strong national leader. He said, “Yes, she can lead the alliance. She is a well-known leader and her team in Parliament is responsible and skilled. She deserves to lead.”

    Sanjay Raut from Shiv Sena also supports Mamata’s role, saying they want her to be an important part of the alliance. He mentioned that they plan to meet her soon in Kolkata to discuss this.

    Congress MP Kirti Azad responded to ideas from TMC leaders that Mamata should lead the INDIA bloc after Congress lost in the Maharashtra elections. He praised her leadership, saying, “Mamata has a perfect record. Whenever Prime Minister Modi faced loss, it was in West Bengal. Her support grows when he insults Bengal. She speaks clearly and is known for uniting people.”

    Meanwhile, BJP leader Darekar criticized the opposition MLAs for their actions surrounding their oaths, calling it a “drama” and insulting to the people of Maharashtra. He stated that if they didn’t want to take the oath, they shouldn’t have agreed to it later. He added that their actions were a “flop show” and said the people won’t forgive them.

    Cyril Han Named New CEO of Ant Group, Replacing Eric Jing

    Cyril Han is set to become the new CEO of Ant Group, replacing Eric Jing starting March 1, according to an internal memo confirmed by a spokesperson. Eric Jing will stay on as chairman. Han, who was named president in March during a major company restructuring, will still report to Jing. His main job involves overseeing Ant’s digital payment, connectivity, and finance services.

    Ant Group is part of Alibaba, a huge online shopping company that owns 33% of it. They run the popular mobile payment app Alipay. In July 2023, Ant was fined $984 million for problems related to how they run the company.

    Cyril Han joined Alipay in 2014 and has held various important roles, including chief financial officer and vice president of strategic investment. Recently, Ant reported a net profit of 7.59 billion yuan ($1.04 billion) for the first quarter of the year. Bloomberg was the first to share the news about Han’s new role.

  • Rohit Sharma’s Captaincy Struggles: Four Losses in a Row!

    Rohit Sharma’s Captaincy Struggles: Four Losses in a Row!

    Rohit Sharma is facing a tough time as both a Test player and captain. His recent return to the Indian cricket team came with a loss at the Adelaide Oval during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Fans and experts are questioning his decisions and strategies, especially after India lost 3-0 to New Zealand at home. This latest defeat marks four straight losses for Rohit as captain, putting him in a challenging group of Indian captains with this unfortunate record.

    With his current streak of losses, Rohit joins famous captains like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, both of whom have also lost four Test matches in a row. Sachin Tendulkar and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi hold an even tougher record with more consecutive losses. On the flip side, India won the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy under Jasprit Bumrah’s leadership, but Rohit’s four losses in five matches put him under pressure.

    Back in 2020-21, Kohli went through a tough phase of losing four matches, including a significant defeat in Adelaide. He later bounced back and led the team to some victories. Similarly, MS Dhoni faced this problem twice in his career. Once was during India’s difficult tours of England in 2011 and 2014, close to his retirement.

    In 1959, one of India’s early captains, Datta Gaekwad, lost four matches in a row when cricket in India was still developing. In a brief captaincy in 1999-2000, Sachin Tendulkar experienced five consecutive losses before stepping down. An all-time negative record is held by Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who lost six matches in a row in 1967-68.

    Fans are hoping Rohit can turn things around and avoid getting close to this record, as the Indian team seeks a positive result in the upcoming third Test at the Gabba.
