☆ We are now living in 'third nuclear age' of expanding threats and arsenals, U.K. military chief warns

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.

☆ What's next for bitcoin after topping $100,000, according to the charts
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-05 | by ( David Keller | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

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.

"It's one of the best positioned real estate players today," Goldfarb added, noting that he has an "overweight" – or buy – rating on Newmark stock.

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.

In the messy patchwork of conflicts raging across the Middle East, one country has been absent from the spotlight: Syria. That he has survived was largely because of the intervention of Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, Iran’s Lebanon-based proxy. In all, the U.N. has documented more than 350,000 deaths but says this is “certainly an undercount.”Today, however, Russia, Iran and Lebanon are distracted and depleted. All of this “puts Assad in a much weaker position.”But “the Syrian regime, in coordination with the Russians and less so the Iranians, will hit them with everything they’ve got,” he added. “Much as I oppose the Assad regime, its atrocities and abuses, what is happening in Aleppo right now is terrifying.

Stacia Alexander was 25 and pregnant when her OB-GYN first recommended a hysterectomy. It was 1996, and an ultrasound had revealed fibroids growing in the walls of her uterus. But she knew what the procedure had done to her mother: After her ovaries and uterus were removed in her 40s, her mother faded into a sad, irritable shadow of herself. So after giving birth, Dr. Alexander opted for surgery to prune back the fibroids. But by the time she was 45, the fibroids were back, and her doctor informed her that she was “too old” for another uterus-sparing surgery.

Russian President Vladimir Putin approved budget plans, raising 2025 military spending to record levels as Moscow seeks to prevail in the war in Ukraine. Lawmakers in both houses of the Russian parliament, the State Duma and Federation Council, had already approved the plans in the past 10 days. Their visit comes as doubts are deepening over what Kyiv can expect from a new U.S. administration led by Donald Trump. Moscow sent 78 drones into Ukraine overnight into Sunday, Ukrainian officials said. In Russia, a child was killed in a Ukrainian drone attack in the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, according to regional Gov.

JERUSALEM — The mother of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander told NBC News she was both shaken and relieved to see her son in a Hamas-issued propaganda video. The 20-year-old, who appears under duress in the Hamas video, calls on President-elect Donald Trump to use his power to negotiate for the freedom of those who remain in captivity in Gaza. Yael said she had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly after the video was released. Hamas leaders held talks with Egyptian security officials to explore ways to reach a deal with Israel that could secure the release of hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners. Hamas is seeking an agreement that would end the war while Israeli Netanyahu has said the war will only end when Hamas is eradicated.
