He did so as the rebels entered and seized Damascus, seemingly with little fightback from Assad’s government forces. Syria dominated international consciousness for almost a decade, its civil war erupting after Assad crushed peaceful protests during the region-wide 2011 Arab Spring. But until last month the conflict had been largely at a stalemate, after Assad’s forces regained control of much of the country. The conflict in Syria partly contributed to a wave of mass migration into Europe, met by a right-wing backlash across the continent that is still reverberating today. Much of this diaspora has also responded to Assad’s downfall with astonished glee, some rushing to return home.

WASHINGTON — Conservative justices objected as the Supreme Court on Monday sidestepped a new dispute over race in education by declining to consider whether an admissions program for public high schools in Boston unlawfully considered race. The court's refusal to hear the case marks the second time the court has declined to review a policy aimed at increasing diversity in public high schools since the high court ended the consideration of race in college admissions last year. The policy, implemented by the Boston School Committee in 2021, applied to three selective high schools in Boston: Boston Latin School, Boston Latin Academy and John D. O’Bryant School. The Supreme Court in February turned away a similar challenge to an admissions policy at a Virginia high school that was also aimed at increasing diversity. In a statement, Gorsuch said that the fact the Boston schools' policy was no longer in effect was one reason not to hear the case.

Powerful images have emerged showing Syrians, including women and children, being freed from prisons across the country after the toppling of President Bashar Al-Assad. The White Helmets rescue organization said it had deployed five specialized emergency teams to search for prison cells believed to be hidden underground at the notorious prison, citing survivors' accounts. Footage appears to show a child being liberated from a prison cell in Syria in footage captured after the fall of Assad's regime. People could also be seen toppling statues of Assad's father Hafez al-in cities across Syria, including in the Assad stronghold of Latakia. President Joe Biden described this as “a moment of risk and uncertainty,” as leaders from around the world expressed hopes for stability in the wake of Assad’s toppling.

I mean, all I do is — I — I don’t openly look at the — the company," Trump said. “President Trump removed himself from his multi-billion-dollar real estate empire to run for office and forewent his government salary, becoming the first President to actually lose net worth while serving in the White House. Yet ethics experts, government watchdogs and Democrats warn that Trump’s wide web of business dealings pose alarming conflicts of interest for his presidency. While Eric Trump had said the Trump properties would give the taxpayers an essentially free rate on Secret Service accommodations, the Secret Service paid as much as $1,185 a night — five times the recommended rate for Secret Service on the job — to protect the then-president. While Trump pledged not to engage in any foreign business deals during his first administration, his transition team declined to say if that rule will apply to his second term.

SEOUL, South Korea — The South Korean government on Monday ordered an overseas travel ban on President Yoon Suk Yeol as he faces investigation on possible rebellion charges over a short-lived martial law declaration that plunged the key U.S. ally into chaos last week. The martial law order banned all political activity and censored the news media. It was a shocking turn of events for South Korea, which spent decades under military-authoritarian rule before transitioning into a vibrant democracy and the world’s 10th-largest economy. Han also said investigations into Yoon’s martial law declaration would be conducted “rigorously, impartially and transparently” by the authorities. “President Yoon Seok Yeol must be immediately arrested, investigated and stripped of his military command authority,” senior Democratic lawmaker Kim Min-seok said Sunday.

The 31-year-old man is a Mexican national who was traveling with his wife and two children, officials said. The Mexican Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection said the man told airline personnel that a close relative was kidnapped and that received a threat that he would die if he went to Tijuana.

DeSantis is also reportedly being considered as a replacement for Pete Hegseth, the embattled choice for defense secretary.

Twelve of the 15 Salisbury University students accused of attacking and beating a man in Maryland because of his sexual orientation had their hate crime and first-degree assault charges dismissed, court records show. The students, ages 18 to 21, originally faced several charges including first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, false imprisonment and associated hate crime charges, police said. The remaining charges accusing them of reckless endangerment and committing hate crimes were dropped following preliminary hearings last week.

McLaren won the Formula 1 constructors’ championship on Sunday for the first time in more than a quarter century, securing it in the final race of the season by keeping chief rival Ferrari at bay. It won with a decisive lights-to-flag victory by Lando Norris in Abu Dhabi, landing the storied British team its first championship since 1998, when former McLaren driver Mika Häkkinen won one of his two driver’s championships. Heading into the season finale, Ferrari's two drivers needed to outscore McLaren’s two drivers by at least 21 points. The Italian team hasn’t won a championship since 2008. The end of the 2024 season also marks a changing-of-the-guard moment for F1, with a slew of younger drivers rising and some older drivers stepping aside.
