When Syria’s new interim prime minister, Mohammad al-Bashir, chaired a Cabinet meeting in Damascus on Tuesday, hanging behind him was the flag of the country’s suddenly victorious opposition. That path will largely depend on Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the rebel organization that led the charge into Damascus and is now stewarding Syria’s political overhaul. Its leader, Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, said a decade ago that there would be no room for religious minorities in the Islamist Syria of which he dreamed about.

CNN —Federal prosecutors charged two prominent real estate brokers and their brother in a sex trafficking scheme, alleging they baited, drugged and sexually assaulted multiple women since 2010. During those trips and events, they allege, the men “frequently raped and sexually assaulted the women” sometimes within hours of meeting them. Isabelle Kirschner, an attorney who has represented Alon and Oren Alexander, who are twins, in civil sex trafficking lawsuits, confirmed their arrest and declined further comment. All three brothers have been charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sex trafficking of one victim in 2016. Tal Alexander is separately charged with sex trafficking of a second victim in July 2011.

The dynasty built and operated a network of detention centers scattered across Syria, according to the human rights group Amnesty International. The Human Rights Data Analysis Group, an independent scientific human rights organization based in San Francisco, has counted at least 17,723 people killed in Syrian custody from 2011 to 2015 — around 300 every week — almost certainly a vast undercount, it says.

The eight-time All-Star finished with 28 points and nine assists and the NBA’s leading scorer, Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, had a game-high 37 points.

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.

LONDON — The world is entering a “third nuclear age,” the head of the British armed forces has warned, with world-ending weapons once again spreading globally and international agreements to control them collapsing. He also cited China’s rapid development to become the world’s second fully-fledged nuclear competitor to the United States, alongside Russia. Global power is shifting and a third nuclear age is upon us,” Radakin said. Last year, Russia suspended its participation from New START, an agreement that sought to put verifiable limits on Washington’s and Moscow’s nuclear arsenals. And in 2019, then-President Donald Trump withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces, or INF, Treaty, accusing Russia of violating the agreement.

We can see examples of this high momentum breakout in January 2023, October 2023, February 2024 and November 2024. In each of these instances, a price breakout on exceptionally strong momentum led to much further gains before an eventual top. This classic price pattern involves a countertrend move in which the highs and lows move gently lower in parallel fashion. The most common upside objective in my experience is the 161.8% extension, which in the case of bitcoin suggests an upside target right around $110,000. This indicator uses Average True Range to calculate a trailing stop, providing a dynamic trailing stop level that adjusts automatically for the volatility of the instrument.

CNN —The Israeli military on Wednesday said that a February strike on Khan Younis in southern Gaza may have led Hamas militants to execute six hostages. Speaking at a press briefing about an investigation into the hostages’ deaths, an IDF official said the Israeli military struck “a terror target” on February 14 in Khan Younis, but did not know that hostages were being held nearby. IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari later raised the possibility of the aftermath of the strike killing the hostages. Hamas said that it had executed them because it believed Israeli soldiers may have been closing in. Israel recovered 38-year-old dual German-Israeli citizen Itay Svirsky’s body from Gaza, after he was killed by his captors, the Israeli military and security agency Shin Bet announced.
