Donald Trump has named his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law, Massad Boulos, as an adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. The Lebanese American businessman is the second in-law to be offered a position in the incoming administration, after Trump picked Charles Kushner, his daughter Ivanka’s father-in-law, to serve as ambassador to France. Mr Boulos played a key unofficial role in the Trump campaign, helping him court Arab American and Muslim voters as many of them grew frustrated with the Biden administration over the Israel-Gaza war. Announcing the appointment on social media, Trump said Mr Boulos was “instrumental in building tremendous new…
Ontario has launched a multi-million dollar US ad campaign, touting itself as an “ally to the north” following Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs on all Canadian goods. President-elect Trump has said he would impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian and Mexican goods on his first day in office unless both countries secured their shared borders with the US. Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the tariff threat similar to “a family member stabbing you right in the heart”. The province, which is at the heart of the highly integrated auto industry in Canada, would be especially hard hit by the…
The White House defended President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter, after repeatedly insisting he had no plans to grant such executive clemency. The press secretary said Biden had pardoned his son, who was facing sentencing later this month in two federal cases, to shield him from potential persecution by the outgoing president’s political foes. The sweeping pardon covers any potential federal crimes that 54-year-old Hunter may have committed over the course of a decade. Republicans have lambasted the move, with President-elect Donald Trump calling it “an abuse and miscarriage of justice”. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on…
Rebel forces have launched their largest offensive against the Syrian government in years.

The rebels are now battling the military near the central city of Hama, while the government’s key ally Russia is carrying out air strikes against them. Why is there a war in Syria? A peaceful, pro-democracy uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2011 turned into a full-scale civil war that has devastated the country and drawn in…

Former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua Sunday sensationally criticised the government’s dysfunctional transition from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) to the Social Health Authority (SHA), saying it was unnecessarily rushed. The new public healthcare system, which President William Ruto recently renamed ‘Taifa Care’, has been heavily criticised for its meagre benefits as well as cries from Kenyans unable to access healthcare under it since the transition began in early October. But Ruto and senior government officials like his health cabinet secretary, Deborah Barasa, have defended it and even called for patience from Kenyans. In a Sunday evening interview with NTV,…
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua Sunday alleged a deliberate plan to harm him during a funeral in Limuru, Kiambu County, on Thursday, November 28. The event, which drew hundreds of mourners, devolved into chaos when a group of armed goons disrupted and attacked attendees. In an interview with NTV on Sunday, Gachagua described the attack as a “well-planned attempt on my life,” citing the lack of uniformed police officers and the withdrawal of his security detail a week before. He linked the incident to rising tensions following his attendance at a Murang’a music concert, which turned chaotic after he was…
Russia carried out “a series of air strikes” in Syria on Sunday as rebels advanced after seizing Aleppo, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).

Warplanes also struck rural parts of Idlib and Hama where the group leading the rebel offensive “has recently taken control”, it added. The Syrian government has meanwhile lost control of Aleppo for the first time since the country’s civil war began,…
Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to nine points and heaped more misery on fading champions Manchester City with a fully deserved victory at Anfield. Arne Slot’s pace-setters, fresh from beating Champions League holders Real Madrid, were in rampant mood and subjected City to a relentless barrage from the kick-off. Liverpool were not flattered by the margin of victory, which leaves them 11 points clear of City, who not won for seven matches – losing their past four league games. Virgil van Dijk had headed against the post – while City keeper Stefan Ortega, in…
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won a dramatic Qatar Grand Prix that was brought to life by two mid-race safety cars and a penalty for McLaren’s Lando Norris. Verstappen was in a tight fight with Norris throughout the race until the Briton was given a 10-second stop-and-go penalty for failing to slow for yellow flags. The Dutchman was instrumental in getting Norris the penalty after pointing the incident out to his team. Meanwhile, there will be questions about the management of the race by governing body the FIA, after Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz both suffered punctures. It…

After nights of large-scale street demonstrations and a string of public resignations, Georgia’s prime minister has rejected calls for new elections and said protesters have fallen victim to opposition lies. Irakli Kobakhidze confirmed reports that Georgia’s ambassador to the US, David Zalkaliani, had become the latest senior diplomat to stand down, stressing that he had come under considerable pressure. Protests were set to continue on Sunday for a fourth night running, as Georgians vented their anger at the ruling party’s decision to suspend talks on joining the European Union. Kobakhidze sought to deny the reason for the protests, saying on…
The macroeconomic state of the country has improved tremendously, with inflation at the lowest in the last 17 years. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki said prices of essential commodities, among them food items and fuel has gone down and the Kenyan shilling has stabilised. “This is a consequence of the hardwork and transformative reform agenda, including the Affordable Housing Programme and labour export for the skilled and semi-skilled professionals initiated by President William Samoei Ruto in the last two years,” he said. Moving forward, he said the country must harness its national unity by focusing on what brings it together and…
