The Telegraph: Russia ‘will not come to’ Assad’s rescue as it orders citizens to leave Syria
Russia is reportedly not planning to rescue Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as rebel forces advance. A Kremlin source indicated that Vladimir Putin is frustrated with the Syrian Army's retreat. The rebels recently captured Hama and are moving towards Homs, threatening Damascus.
Assad's reliance on Russian support since 2015 now appears precarious, with experts suggesting Moscow may be unwilling or unable to intervene. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister affirmed support for Assad but did not specify the extent of military assistance.
Le Monde: The loss of Hama is another stinging defeat for the Syrian regime
The insurgent coalition led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has seized control of Aleppo and Hama, marking significant territorial gains in Syria. The Syrian army, facing low morale and poor conditions, struggled to mount an effective defense, prompting claims of a temporary tactical retreat from officials.
As the insurgents advance, they have capitalized on their well-equipped status and support from Turkey, while the Assad regime's efforts to modernize its military have failed. In response to the losses, Assad announced a salary increase for soldiers in a bid to bolster defense efforts.

After legal intervention, the school announced plans to formally establish the club at an upcoming board meeting, reversing its earlier stance.
The district had claimed that recognizing the club would endorse religion, but legal representatives argued this violated the student's First Amendment rights. The school now aims to provide equal opportunities for religious and non-religious groups.

The American Mind: Trump Must Break Up the College Cartel
The higher education sector is criticized for its economic recklessness and elitism, profiting from inflated tuition and excessive student debt, while relying on government subsidies. The article argues for President Trump to dismantle the so-called College Cartel by initiating antitrust inquiries and revoking federal aid gatekeeping.
Proposed reforms include allowing students to take affordable courses from independent providers, reassessing degree requirements for federal jobs, and recognizing high school credits to reduce unnecessary coursework. The aim is to foster competition, lower costs, and improve educational outcomes without burdening taxpayers.
