The Telegraph: Germany to close loophole that made country a hub for Channel migrant boats
Germany will close a legal loophole that has allowed it to become a hub for migrant smuggling to Britain. A new law will criminalize the facilitation of such activities, which were previously unregulated, hindering efforts to combat people smugglers.
In 2023, over 34,000 migrants have crossed the Channel, with a notable increase since Labour took power in July. This marks a 12% rise compared to earlier this year, although it is lower than the record numbers seen in 2022.

GB News: Voters PUNISH Starmer as shocking number of council election defeats revealed
Labour has faced significant losses in council elections since the General Election, losing 24 seats and an 8.3% drop in vote share. In contrast, the Conservatives gained 23 seats despite lacking a leader, indicating discontent with Keir Starmer's leadership.

Breitbart: Golden Globes: 'The Apprentice' Actors Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong Score Nominations for Movie Trump Called a 'Disgusting Hatchet Job
The Golden Globes nominated actors Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong for their roles in the controversial Trump biopic, The Apprentice, surprising many in Hollywood. The film, which dramatizes Donald Trump's early career, has faced backlash, particularly over a disputed scene involving his first wife, Ivana Trump.
Despite its poor box office performance and controversy, the nominations reflect the Golden Globes' ongoing relevance. The awards show has struggled with viewership, dropping significantly after embracing political themes, with last year's ratings at just 9.4 million.
Times Of Israel: With genocide comments, nativity visit, Pope sows doubts about commitment to Jews
Pope Francis recently faced backlash after inaugurating a nativity scene in the Vatican featuring baby Jesus on a keffiyeh, a Palestinian symbol. His prior comments suggesting Israel may be committing genocide in Gaza have further strained relations with Jewish groups, who labeled the claims as "categorically false."
Despite a history of improved Jewish-Catholic relations, many Jewish leaders express concern over Francis's handling of sensitive topics. His remarks have sparked confusion and disappointment, leading some to consider suspending ties with the Vatican amid rising antisemitism in Europe.

Breitbart: Netflix Loses Case, Forced to Pay Woman Outed in Documentary as Daughter of Disgraced Fertility Doctor
Netflix has been ordered to pay $385,000 to Lori Kennard, who claimed the streaming service outed her as the daughter of disgraced fertility doctor Donald Cline in the documentary "Our Father." Kennard alleged that she was promised her identity would be concealed, but it was revealed without her consent.
Cline used his own sperm to father 94 children, deceiving patients for decades. Though he was convicted of lying to investigators in 2017, he did not serve jail time. The case highlights the ethical issues surrounding consent in documentary filmmaking.

Le Monde: Historian Matthieu Rey: 'Although there is uncertainty in Syria, a sense of joy is making a widespread comeback'
Syria's long-standing regime has collapsed following a rebel coalition's takeover, reigniting the 2011 uprising. The regime's violent control mechanisms, including extortion and prison atrocities, ultimately weakened its grip, leading to its downfall when external support waned.
As former prisoners emerge into a changed world, the aftermath reveals the brutal reality of authoritarian power. Despite claims of victory by some commentators, the regime's reliance on oppressive tactics and illicit activities like captagon production contributed to its decline.
The Epoch Times: Who Are the Terror Groups That Now Control Syria?
With the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, several factions have emerged to fill the power vacuum. The main group is Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a terrorist organization that has seized key cities, including Aleppo and Homs. HTS's leader, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, has attempted to rebrand the group as a nationalist entity despite its violent history.
Other significant players include the Syrian National Army (SNA), which has taken control of northern territories with Turkish support, and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which dominate the northeast. A new rebel faction, the Southern Operations Room (SOR), has also emerged in the south. Meanwhile, remnants of ISIS continue to exist but are less of a threat than in previous years.
