The Allies suffered 36,000 dead/wounded/captured compared with only 9000 for the French. The French victory was so complete that not only did it end the War of the Third Coalition, it allowed Napoleon to create the Confederation of the Rhine among the German states that had become French clients. Emperor Francis II was then forced to dissolve the Holy Roman Empire, which had been in existence continuously since 962 and traced its origins back to Charlemagne's coronation as “emperor of the Romans” in 800.December 2, 1942: Enrico Fermi and his team create the first self-sustaining nuclear reaction at “Chicago Pile-1,” a rudimentary reactor built under the campus of the University of Chicago. This was the first milestone achievement for the Manhattan Project in its race to build a nuclear bomb before Nazi Germany.December 3, 1971: The Pakistani military undertakes preemptive airstrikes against several Indian military installations, beginning the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, itself the final phase of the Bangladesh Liberation War. India was preparing to enter the war on Bangladesh's side anyway, so when I say these strikes were “preemptive” I am not using that term in the phony, George W. Bush “hey they might attack us someday, you never know” sense of the term. The war, to put it mildly, was a complete disaster for the Pakistanis, who were forced to surrender a scant 13 days later and had to give up their claims on “East Pakistan” (Bangladesh) while suffering around a third of their military killed, wounded, or captured. In one of Henry Kissinger's more notorious acts, the Nixon administration opted to support Pakistan despite evidence of its armed forces committing major atrocities against Bangladeshi civilians.December 3, 1984: A Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, spews toxic methyl isocyanate gas overnight, resulting in the deaths of between 3800 and 16,000 people and causing injury to at least 558,000 more. Union Carbide maintains that the leak was caused by deliberate sabotage, though Indian courts subsequently found several officials at the plant guilty of negligence. The “Bhopal Disaster” remains one of the worst industrial catastrophes in history and its adverse effects are still being felt by people in that region to the present day.MIDDLE EASTISRAEL-PALESTINEThe Israeli military (IDF) was advancing on the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis on Sunday, with Hamas officials and residents both reporting indications of nearby fighting and the IDF later confirming that it has sent ground forces into southern Gaza. The IDF has been ordering civilians to evacuate the eastern reaches of Khan Younis, and of course it's posted a helpful interactive map on its website that warns civilians of imminent danger provided those civilians have reliable internet access and haven't lost their special IDF secret decoder rings. Residents of Khan Younis will likely move further south to Rafah, though that city is also under heavy IDF bombardment so it's not really safe either. Israeli officials say the IDF struck more than 400 targets over the weekend, and the official Gazan death toll had risen at last check to 15,523. The real death toll may be substantially higher, given the likelihood of bodies that haven't yet been recovered and the closure of most of the hospitals that were handling casualties.Elsewhere:* Aid shipments into Gaza have resumed. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society says that 100 truckloads of aid entered the territory from Egypt on Saturday and I believe the aim was to bring in a similar number of trucks on Sunday though I have not seen any information yet as to whether that was accomplished.* The Biden administration may be “pressing” Israel and Hamas to resume negotiations, as White House spokes-ghoul John Kirby told NBC on Sunday, but there's no indication it's having any success. After the ceasefire collapsed on Friday the Israeli government recalled its Mossad negotiators from Qatar, and for Hamas's part the Islamist group's political wing has sworn off any future prisoner swaps “until the war ends.”* The administration is continuing to send large quantities of ordinance to the IDF, including massive “bunker buster” bombs. So any claim that it's really pushing the Israeli government to negotiate a ceasefire or even demonstrate greater discernment in its bombardments really doesn't hold up terribly well.* Israel Hayom is reporting that “key figures” in the US Congress have been shown the text of a “new initiative” that would condition future US aid to Egypt, Iraq, Turkey, and Yemen (all of which it identified as “Arab states,” which would be news to the Turks) on the willingness of governments in those four states to enable the ethnic cleansing of Gaza by taking in refugees. That same outlet has also reported (in Hebrew, so here's a summary from Ryan Grim) that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked Minister of Strategic Planning Ron Dermer to put together a plan to “thin the population in Gaza to a minimum,” which if nothing else is an incredible euphemism. The Biden administration has rejected any forced and/or permanent relocation of Gazan civilians, a point that Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated during her visit to the COP28 climate summit in Dubai over the weekend. But it perhaps could be sold on the idea of a “voluntary” (in quotes because in reality it would be anything but) evacuation that is characterized as temporary even if there's no real intention to ever let the evacuees return.* The Guardian says its reporting has confirmed the findings of that bombshell +972 Magazine piece from a few days ago, which reported that the IDF has been using an AI system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”) to identify targets under a process that's been likened to a “mass assassination factory.” The system is producing targets faster than the IDF can attack them, including private homes where the likelihood of civilian casualties is high. Israeli officials are apparently insisting that the AI is programmed to minimize civilian risk, an assertion that cannot be squared with the high number of civilian casualties incurred so far in this conflict.* Israeli settler mobs attacked two West Bank villages in separate incidents on Saturday, killing at least one Palestinian in one of those attacks. The human rights organization Yesh Din says it's catalogued some 225 settler attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7, resulting in at least nine deaths.* On a somewhat related note, one of the people killed in last Thursday's shooting in East Jerusalem turns out to have been an Israeli civilian who shot and killed the two Hamas attackers and then was mistakenly gunned down by Israeli soldiers. Video footage apparently shows the man disarming, kneeling, and opening his shirt to demonstrate to the soldiers that he was not a threat, but one of them killed him anyway. The incident has raised issues regarding the trigger happiness of Israeli security forces and the wisdom of the Israeli government's armed vigilante program, which in addition to risking civilian Palestinian deaths also risks more “friendly fire” shootings like this one.* The Washington Post published a story this weekend about the hasty evacuation of al-Nasr Children's Hospital in northern Gaza last month. Without going into some of the grislier details, the staff was forced to evacuate by the IDF and left behind four premature infants who likely would not have survived relocation. They say Israeli officials told them the infants would be taken out in Red Cross ambulances but apparently they were left to die and, eventually, decompose. Reporters discovered their remains during the ceasefire. Israeli officials insist that they never ordered al-Nasr's evacuation and have questioned the veracity of the story, despite video evidence and a recording of a phone call that the IDF itself released in which an Israeli official appears to acknowledge the need to rescue patients from the facility. The Red Cross says it never agreed to assist the evacuation and that conditions in northern Gaza would have made it impossible for its personnel to get to al-Nasr to retrieve the infants.* I mention the al-Nasr story because it strikes me as especially galling. In general I'm trying not to focus heavily on individual atrocities or allegations of atrocities in compiling these newsletters—there would be no space for anything else otherwise. I hope readers don't mistake that for apathy about any of these stories, going back to and including the atrocities committed/allegedly committed by Gazan militants on October 7 (I know cases of sexual violence have been receiving heavy coverage of late). I feel my role here is to try to provide an overview and for me that means keeping some distance from specific events. I'm sure I don't do that consistently but it is my aim.SYRIAAccording to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, that Saturday morning Israeli missile attack in the vicinity of Damascus killed at least two of its personnel who were in Syria on an “advisory” mission. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the strikes killed two Syrians who were affiliated with Hezbollah as well as two foreigners, presumably these IRGC members, while wounding five other people.YEMENHouthi rebels in northern Yemen fired a barrage of missiles and drones at ships in the Red Sea on Sunday. The group damaged three commercial ships and also fired at least three drones at the US naval destroyer USS Carney, which shot the projectiles down. There's no indication of any casualties and two of the vessels reported only minor damage (I'm unsure as to the status of the third). I would not be surprising if the US military were to retaliate against the Houthis in the near future, and there is a genuine risk that this could lead to a full-blown resumption of the Yemen war—though of course that would require Saudi Arabia's involvement.IRAQIraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaʿ al-Sudani reportedly told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a phone conversation on Saturday that Baghdad does not appreciate the US military carrying out attacks on Iraqi soil. The US attacked two Iraqi militia-linked targets on November 22 (during this newsletter's holiday pause), “killing nine pro-Iran fighters” in retaliation for attacks against US personnel according to AFP. Those attacks tapered off during the Gaza ceasefire, but as we know that ceasefire is no longer operative.On Sunday, US forces carried out a drone strike on a militia target in Iraq's Kirkuk province, killing at least five people and wounding five more. There was initially no indication as to responsibility (though one didn't exactly have to be Sherlock Holmes to solve this caper), but the US military later confirmed that it was responsible and characterized the strike as preempting “an imminent threat.”ASIAPAKISTANUnspecified gunmen attacked a bus in northern Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region late Saturday, killing at least nine people and injuring at least 26 others. The bus driver was among those killed, along with the driver of a truck with which the bus collided. There's been no claim of responsibility and the main body of the Pakistani Taliban has taken the rare step of denying any involvement.PHILIPPINESA bombing targeting a Catholic mass killed at least four people and left several others wounded on the campus of Mindanao State University in the southern Philippine city of Marawi on Sunday. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack via Telegram. The previous day, the Philippine military said its forces killed at least 11 jihadist militants in nearby Maguindanao province in an attack targeting “suspected leaders and armed followers of the Dawla Islamiyah [i.e. ‘Islamic State'] and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters” to borrow the AP's verbiage. I don't know whether Sunday's bombing was planned in advance or was intended as a direct retaliation for Saturday's incident.AFRICAGUINEA-BISSAUThe president of Guinea-Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, characterized Thursday night's gun battle between elements of the National Guard and his Presidential Palace Battalion as an “attempted coup” in comments to reporters on Saturday. Embaló had been out of the country attending the COP28 summit when the incident took place and said it had delayed his return to Bissau. National Guard commander Victor Tchongo is now in government custody, but Embaló appeared to suggest that there were other coup plotters behind Tchongo and said he would open an investigation into the incident on Monday. The National Guard is part of the Interior Ministry, which AFP says is “dominated” by the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAICG). That party, which won June's parliamentary election and now controls the government, is opposed to Embaló.BURKINA FASOThe military governments of Burkina Faso and Niger announced on Saturday that they are both withdrawing from the G5 Sahel regional counterinsurgency force. That group was formed in 2014 with the aim of pooling resources to battle the various jihadist groups that were threatening Sahelian governments. It began deploying joint forces a couple of years later, but as you might already have concluded it's had minimal impact on the region's jihadist crisis. Mali's ruling junta quit last year, so of the original five member states only Mauritania and Nigeria still remain.ETHIOPIAOfficials in Ethiopia's Oromian regional government have accused the rebel Oromo Liberation Army of killing at least 36 civilians in attacks on three villages that took place on November 24 and 27. The OLA apparently hasn't commented and there's no confirmation of the government claim, but the alleged attacks took place not long after another round of peace talks between the OLA and Ethiopian government broke down, so it's conceivable the group decided to lash out in that moment. The OLA was formed as the military wing of the Oromo Liberation Front in the 1970s but broke away from the group's political leadership when the latter reached a peace accord with the Ethiopian government in 2018. It frequently attacks non-Oromo communities in Oromia, though authorities have only said that the victims of these attacks were Orthodox Christians without reference to ethnicity.EUROPEUKRAINERussian military operations in eastern Ukraine may have hit a couple of speed bumps over the weekend. For one thing, reports that emerged on Friday suggesting that the Russians had seized the town of Maryinka, southwest of the city of Donetsk, appear to have been a bit premature. Ukrainian forces are reportedly still in control of some parts of the town, including a coking plant, though that may change in relatively short order of course. Elsewhere, the Ukrainian military claimed on Saturday that Russian attacks on the city of Avdiivka had completely ceased for a full day. That too could change in a hurry, and indeed may already have changed by the time you read this, but it suggests the Russians were at least regrouping after spending the previous several days in what seemed like intense fighting to try to take the city.The Ukrainian government says it's investigating a claim that Russian soldiers summarily executed two surrendering Ukrainian military personnel. Details are minimal but there's a video of this alleged incident circulating on social media. Needless to say, intentionally killing surrendering soldiers is a war crime.FRANCEA knife-wielding attacker killed one German tourist and wounded two other people near Paris's Eiffel Tower late Saturday. The attacker is a French national who was on a French government “watch list,” had apparently pledged allegiance to Islamic State, and was also “known for having psychiatric disorders” according to Reuters. He cited the conflict in Gaza, among other triggers, to police after his arrest.AMERICASBRAZILBrazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said on Sunday that he has no intention of bringing Brazil into full membership in the OPEC+ bloc and would stick to “observer” status only, one day after he somewhat incoherently told reporters that he wanted to join the group of major oil producing nations to try to encourage them to stop producing oil. OPEC+ extended a membership offer to Brazil on Thursday, which I gather has raised some eyebrows given Lula's stated commitment to combating climate change. Brazil's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, is continuing to pursue new oil exploration, also despite Lula's climate change position, though he says his aim is to invest oil profits in non-fossil fuel energy alternatives (and to encourage OPEC+ nations to do likewise). Oil remains the cause of, and solution to, all of humanity's problems.VENEZUELAVenezuelans, or at least the ones who participated, apparently voted overwhelmingly in Sunday's referendum to support their country's territorial claim on western Guyana's Essequibo region. Election officials said that the vote was 95 percent in favor for all of its five clauses—the most contentious of which was a question about whether or not to declare Essequibo a new Venezuelan state and extend citizenship to its residents—though there's not much insight as to turnout. There's no indication that the Venezuelan government is planning any imminent steps to try to actualize its claim on Essequibo but the referendum has nevertheless caused some consternation in Guyana and internationally.UNITED STATESFinally, HuffPost's Akbar Shahid Ahmed offers some welcome reassurance that the worst Middle East “expert” in Washington is still central to the Biden administration's regional policy:Four men in Washington shape America's policy in the Middle East. Three are obvious: President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan. The fourth is less well-known, despite his huge sway over the other three ― and despite his determination to keep championing policies that many see as fueling bloodshed in Gaza and beyond.His name is Brett McGurk. He's the White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, and he's one of the most powerful people in U.S. national security.McGurk crafts the options that Biden considers on issues from negotiations with Israel to weapon sales for Saudi Arabia. He controls whether global affairs experts within the government ― including more experienced staff at the Pentagon and the State Department ― can have any impact, and he decides which outside voices have access to White House decision-making conversations. His knack for increasing his influence is the envy of other Beltway operators. And he has a clear vision of how he thinks American interests should be advanced, regarding human rights concerns as secondary at best, according to current and former colleagues and close observers.Indeed, even though McGurk has spent nearly 20 years giving bad advice about the Middle East to a succession of US presidents—and even though his fixation on Saudi-Israeli normalization at Palestinian expense may have helped trigger the October 7 attacks—his influence today appears to be greater than it's ever been. I'm sure that makes all of us feel a little better.Thanks for reading! Foreign Exchanges is a reader-supported publication.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., America's 17th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and founder of the American Cornerstone Institute. Dr. Carson is former Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is author of bestselling books: Gifted Hands, Think Big, A More Perfect Union, The Big Picture, America the Beautiful, and Created Equal. Dr. Ben Carson presents principled solutions to the challenges on the domestic and foreign fronts. We discuss concerns about the American Dream (only 36% of voters in a new Wall Street Journal/NORC survey said the American dream still holds true), Israel's war against Iran-backed Hamas, Iran's proxies attacking US facilities, US-China relations, and America's education in crisis. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. For a time, the likelihood of Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a physician seemed unlikely. Growing up in a single parent home with dire poverty, poor grades, a horrible temper, and low self-esteem appeared to preclude the realization of that dream until his mother, with only a third-grade education, challenged her sons to strive for excellence. She observed successful people and encouraged her sons to emulate their behaviors, including reading. This led to behavior changes which had a profound effect on their education. In 1973, Ben Carson graduated from Yale University. He went on to receive his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School. At the age of 33, Dr. Carson became the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, making him the youngest major division director in the hospital's history. This would be among an extensive list of outstanding firsts for Dr. Carson. Dr. Carson's accomplishments have earned him a place in medical history. He performed the first and only successful separation of craniopagus (Siamese) twins joined at the back of the head in 1987. He also performed the first fully successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins in 1997 in South Africa. In his career, Dr. Carson became a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and directed pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center for over 29 years. He became the inaugural recipient of a professorship dedicated in his name in May 2008. He is now the Emeritus Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. and Dr. Evelyn Spiro, R.N. Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery, having retired on June 30, 2013. In 2016, Dr. Carson accepted the position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the Trump administration. After completing his tenure as the 17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute. This organization is focused on fighting for the principles that have guided him through life and that make this country great: faith, liberty, community and life. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 Twitter: @RealBenCarson @ileaderssummit @AmericasRT @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

#EU: The anti immigrant vote and disorder. Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute https://www.irishcentral.com/news/dublin-riot-arrests 1933 Yemen

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Crisis Group's Iran Project Director Ali Vaez to talk about Iran's position on the war in Gaza and its advantages and drawbacks for Tehran. They look at Iran's links with what it calls the “Axis of Resistance” – Hizbollah in Lebanon, militias in Iraq and Syria, and the Houthis in Yemen, as well as Palestinian militants including Hamas – and its strategy of using such groups to extend its influence in the region and as deterrence against attacks on Iran by its rivals. They also assess how the war has affected Iran's nuclear ambitions, with its nuclear program ever more advanced and a potential nuclear crisis looming. They talk about Iran's relations with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states and the prospects that diplomacy in the region can reduce risks of a wider war, either related to Gaza or Iran's nuclear program. For more analysis on the risks of U.S.-Iran escalation, check out our Q&A Understanding the Risks of U.S.-Iran Escalation amid the Gaza Conflict, as well as our Iran and Israel/Palestine pages. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Middle East has faced growing instability, violence, and the risk of a wider war ever since October 7.    Most attention is understandably focused on Israel, where 1,200 people were killed in a single day, and Gaza, where the death toll is steadily climbing past 11,000, the majority children and women.    But the wider region is experiencing a level of violence that is cause for alarm: near-daily clashes between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel; steady attacks on the U.S. military in Iraq and Syria; and increasingly bold military initiatives by Yemen's Houthi rebel forces.   How has the Gaza war changed the wider Middle East? What new dynamics are shaping conflicts and diplomacy among the regional powers and in the region's many simmering conflicts? How will America's bear hug of Israel affect other American interests in the Middle East?   Century International fellows Aron Lund, Sam Heller, and Thanassis Cambanis are joined by Michael Wahid Hanna from International Crisis Group to step back from the day-to-day developments of the Gaza war and assess the changing regional context.   Read:  Commentary: “It's Time for a Ceasefire in Gaza—and Then a New Push for Peace,” by Thanassis Cambanis, Dahlia Scheindlin, and Sam Heller Commentary: “America Needs to Prevent a Regional War in the Middle East,” by Sam Heller and Thanassis Cambanis Participants: Sam Heller, fellow, Century International Aron Lund, fellow, Century International Michael Wahid Hanna, director, U.S. program, International Crisis Group Thanassis Cambanis, director, Century International

The state of Yemen in 2023 is precarious. After the Arab Spring revolution descended into civil war, the Houthis have cemented their power over large swathes of Northern Yemen, while the traditional ruling parties have fractured and, in many cases, disintegrated. In this final episode of our mammoth exploration of the history of Yemen - and indeed season 4 of Conflicted - we bring things up to the modern day, stepping back from historical narrative to try and make sense of what has happened and what it means for the country and the region. Over the course of this season, we've taken listeners through all the historical antecedents to modern Salafi Jihadism from Ahmad Bin Hanbal in the eighth century to Sayyid Qutb in the 1960s. We've looked at the Muslim Brotherhood, President Erdogan of Turkey, Iran, and their proxies across the region like Hezbollah. And now, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza continues, we can see so many of the themes and ideas that we've talked about this series playing out in real time. This final episode, which sees us joined for the final time by Yemeni political activist Baraa Shaiban, attempts to make sense of current events in Yemen and beyond in the context of  Salafi and Shia jihadism. We ask what the future holds for the Middle East, and what we can learn from the tumultuous history of the region as the world attempts to bring peace to the geopolitical situation of today.

A new tanker war has erupted in the waters of the Middle East, with Iranian proxies attacking, seizing and otherwise targeting vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas. The immediate object of such piracy, ostensibly carried out by Houthi rebels based in Yemen, is to endanger Israel-tied commercial shipping.  These attacks, however, fit a pattern of calculated “strategic arson” being perpetrated elsewhere by Iran's sponsor – Chinese dictator Xi Jinping – as he prepares for a shooting war of his own.  Notably, a U.S. destroyer that interrupted one such attack on Sunday subsequently had two Houthi ballistic missiles splash down in her vicinity. The more our too-small Navy is tied down half-a-world away from the Pacific the better for a man who likely has more such depleting distractions in mind before he moves against Taiwan and us in the months to come.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Modstanden mod Israel i den arabiske verden får hele tiden ny næring - og nu melder Houthi-oprørerne fra Yemen sig på banen med en kapring af, hvad de selv mener, er et israelsk skib. Man skulle ellers tro, at den shiamuslimske oprørsbevægelse havde nok at gøre med borgerkrigen i Yemen - så hvorfor er det vigtigt for oprørerne at vise sin sympati med palæstinenserne? Og er der nogen, der trækker i trådene? I over en måned har der næsten dagligt været demonstrationer i sympati med de civile ofre i Gaza. Men selvom demonstrationer i sympati med ofre for krig langt fra er et nyt fænomen, så er der alligevel noget i tidsånden, der har ændret den måde, som især unge kaster sig ind i konflikter.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) claimed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been "completely derelict in his duty" of securing the southern border, which he described as "a national security issue." Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen fired two ballistic missiles at a U.S. destroyer in the Gulf of Aden just after midnight on Monday after the vessel thwarted an attempt by terrorists to seize a tanker connected to an Israeli businessman. A third group of Israeli hostages arrived back in Israel on Sunday evening as part of a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas terrorists. A former gang member and convicted mass shooter was released after serving just eight years of his life sentence by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) — and given a new job in the California State Capitol.

On today's podcast: 1) 1) Israel is coming under increasing pressure to agree to an extension of a four-day pause in its war with Hamas. President Joe Biden said he supports prolonging the cease-fire, which is due to end on Tuesday morning and part of a deal to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The halt in fighting is “critically needed” for additional aid to get into the territory and for more captives to be freed. 2) Rishi Sunak said he condemns antisemitism “in all its forms,” in a careful criticism of Elon Musk that stopped short of the full-throated condemnation by US President Joe Biden and others who have accused the tech entrepreneur of amplifying anti-Jewish hatred on his X social media platform. 3) Black Friday shoppers spent a record $9.8 billion online in the US, Adobe Analytics reported, offering a positive sign for retailers facing lackluster sales forecasts for the holiday season.  Full transcript:  Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the stories we're following today. First, the latest developments out of the Middle East. Israel and Hamas are signaling that a temporary ceasefire could be extended beyond today. Under the current agreement, Hamas is releasing fifty hostages in exchange for one hundred and fifty Israeli held prisoners. President Biden says he's aiming for this break in fighting to continue. Critically, nay, today is going in and hostages are coming out, and there's still structured so that it can be extended to keep building on these results. That's my goal, that's our goal, to keep this pause going beyond tomorrow. When President Biden spoke yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who signaled an extension was possible. Meanwhile, Israel is coming under increasing pressure to agree to an extension of a four day pause in it's war with Amas. We get more from Bloomberg's Simon Marx and Tel Aviv. Israel is under some pressure to continue to slow drip releasing hostages. There is still a lot of public pressure here to get many more released, and the families and the victims of the hostage families are still very active. Bloomberg. Simon mar says, so far Hamas has handed over fifty eight hostages, including non Israelis. It is slated to free another eleven Israelis today to fulfill the four day Agreement. And in Washington, the issue of Israeli aid maybe getting more complicated. Bloomberg zed Baxter has that story. Senator Chris Murphy is saying lawmakers should consider conditioning future aid to Israel based on compliance with international humanitarian law. I think there's both a moral cost to this, many civilians, innocent civilians, children often losing their life, but I think there's a strategic cost. Ultimately, Hamas will get stronger, not weaker, in the long run if all of this civilian death allows them to recruit more effectively, enablely inside Gaza. Murphy on CNN civilian death toll must stop, ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio, Thanks D. Another complicating factor in aid to Israel and Ukraine is a dispute over security at the southern border. Republicans in Congress want to tie foreign military assistance to tougher border policies. On NBC's Meet the Press House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner said it will be tough to pass the AID before the end of this year. While the issue remains unresolved. Man Amy events in the Middle East may be forcing President Biden to skip an event he's attended the past two years. According to The New York Times, a White House official says the President will not be at the COP twenty eighth Climate summit in Dubai. The official didn't say why, but senior aids are suggesting the Israel Hamas war has consumed the president in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Elon Musk will today meet with the Israel with Israel's Prime Minister and president, as well as representatives of the families of hostages held in Gaza. The closed door meeting appears to be an effort to diffuse a growing backlash over the billionaire's endorsement of an anti Semitic tweet. While Musk has drawn support from notable figures including hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, others, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunek, say that Tesla and SpaceX chief should not be given a pass because of who he is. I don't tend to get in the business of scrutinizing what every single person says who I've interacted with. Of course I bore anti Semitism. It doesn't matter whether you're Elil Musk or you or someone on the street who's shouting abuse that someone who happens to be walking past you. That's wrong in all its forms. Antisemitism in all its forms is completely and utterly wrong. So next careful criticism comes just weeks after the British Prime Minister had a fireside conversation with Musk at the UKAI summit. Turning to markets, amy stocks are going higher. That's the call from Deutsche Bank. The firm's strategists, including Binkie Chata, predict the S and P five hundred will rally to a record fifty one hundred by the end of next year. That's about twelve percent above current levels. Chata says stock valuations are not high and earnings are growing solidly. Meanwhile, Wall Street it returns to work with lots of economic data and plenty of earnings reports. We get a preview from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. Tech earnings will be in focus this week, with z Scaler and crowd Strike holdings underscoring how businesses are prioritizing cybersecurity after recent high profile corporate hacks. Among the other technology companies reporting this week Salesforce and Dell. In New York Charlie Pellette Bloomberg Radio. Okay, Charlie, thanks for also keeping an eye on retailers today. Well, because it's cyber Monday. The huge online spending day comes after shoppers spend a record online on Black Friday. More on that from Bloomberg's Eddie vendor Wald. What we're seeing is that US consumers spend a record nine point one billion dollars online. That's according to Adobe Analytics. It's a record so far. But we're seeing two interesting trends. Number One, a lot of people are spending on buy now, pay later, and we are seeing them buying less luxury items with this spending. So it feels like the consumer is starting to feel the pitch and rather than going out spending big money is saying, look, this might be a good opportunity to start cutting back out of spending. Bloomberg's Eddie vander Walt says global Black Friday sales rose twenty two percent, led by clothing, personal care, and jewelry. The owner of TikTok is cutting jobs. Bye Dance plans to eliminate hundreds of positions in gaming and wind down at Showpee s brand Uverse. The closure marks by Dan's biggest retreat from a once booming gaming industry dominated by ten Cent and at smaller faux net Ease. Sources say the Chinese company intends to announce the cuts later today. Time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world, and for that we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker. Good morning Job, Hey, Good morning Amy. The US is investigating whether Iran was behind an incident in which missiles were fired near the Navy destroy USS Mason. The Mason intervene to stop the hijacking of a commercial cargo ship by pirates in the Gulf of Aidenere, Somalia on Sunday, after which two ballistic missiles were fired from Yemen tour the Navy destroyer. The ballistic missiles were fired from the part of Yemen controlled by Iranian backed Hutu rebels. They fell well short of the mark. We could be looking at a shakeup in the battery industry that's critical for the energy transition battery giants are starting to put their money on a new sodium based technology. Let's get more in this report from Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Sodium from rock salt and brines is cheaper and way more abundant than the lithium widely used now in batteries. But in the past week alone, Sweden's Northfold said it made a breakthrough, and China's ev maker BYD signed a deal to build a one point four billion dollar sodium ion battery plant. Also, China's coatl said back in April at sodium based batteries would be used in some vehicles starting this year. This could all hit lithium demand Hardloomberg GETTYF has said sodium could cut hundreds of thousands of tons of lithium demand by twenty thirty five. Denise Pellegridy Bloomberg Radio. This post Thanksgiving travel rush could be won for the books. American Airlines said that it flew six and a half million customers over the holiday, the highest ever for the airline. Of this traveler at New York Liberty Airport spoke for many I travel from California to New York back and forth all the time. I have never had this much of a weight. I don't know why. American says it had more than sixty one hundred departures Sunday and expects about six thousand flights today. The Biden administration today will announce a redoubling it measures to strengthen supply chains. It's creating a new White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience. The council will conduct a supply chain review mirroring similar strategic documents prepared for National Defense at Homeland Security. Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you wanted with Bloomberg News Now. I'm John Tucker and this is Bloomberg Amy. All right, thank you, John. We bring you news throughout the day here on Bloomberg Radio. But now you can get the latest news on demand whenever you want it. Subscribe to Bloomberg News Now to get the latest headlines at the click of a button. Get informed on your schedule, and you can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot com plus Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for our Bloomberg Sports Update and for that, we bring in John stash hour Amy. The game of the day was in Philadelphia. The Eagles trailed Buffalo by ten points in the fourth quarter, trailed by three with twenty seconds to go when Jake Elliott tied the game with a fifty nine yard field goal. Philly also trailed in overtime, but Jalen Hurt scored a touchdown and the Eagles beat the Bills thirty seven to thirty. Fourth. Philly is ten and one. The Bill's having a disappointing season at six and six. The Patriots having a really disappointing season. They are two to nine. Lost to the Giants ten to seven when Chad Ryland missed a thirty five yard field goal with three seconds to go. Ravens last night improved to nine and three. They beat the Chargers twenty to ten. The Steelers are seven and four, all seven wins by seven points or less. They've been outscored on the season, but Pittsburgh able to win at Cincinnati sixteen to ten. Bengals played without the injured quarterback Joe Burrow. Carolina dropped a one in ten, lost to Tennessee seventeen to ten. Indianapolis Street Tampa Bay twenty seven to twenty Michael Pittman had over one hundred yards in receptions. Two SEC schools with new football coaches at Texas A and m it's Mike Elko. He had been at Duke the last two years and the previous to that he was the Aggies defensive coordinator. Mississippi State's new coaches Jeff Levy, he had been the offensive cornator head Oklahoma. Another f one win for Max first staff and that's nineteen out of twenty two races. That's the most ever. Celtics still on beating at home. They beat the Hawks one thirteen to one of three. Jason Tatum score thirty four. Johns dash that We're Bloomberg Sport from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Today is scheduled to be the final full day of a four day truce between Israel and Hamas, but after the release of dozens of hostages from Gaza, including a four year old American Israeli girl. Both sides are now signaling this pause could be extended. And for the latest, we're joined from Tel Aviv by Bloomberg News reporter Simon Marx. Simon, good morning. What is the likelihood that we could see an extension given the number of hostages that have been released so far? Well, so far, the chances of this taking place seem to be making some good progress. Hamas has released a statement saying that in theory they would have greed to an extension, and Israel, for the whole way along this current truce, has said that it would be open to further days, So we're talking about ten per day for up to ten days. You know, diplomats in the city do expect that we will see one or two more days. It's a little unclear whether we're going to get to the full ten. But there is obviously a lot of pressure on the government of Benjamin Netta and Yahoo to continue the release of the hostages, with the families still campaigning and very vocal on this front. Yeah, that's happening on the outside. Talk a little bit more about as well, the behind the scenes pressure that's happening with Israel and Hamas to potentially secure a further ceasefire. Yeah. I think the main reason for this is that the international community would like to see more aid get into Gaza. Obviously, the strip has been pounded for weeks now, there's still at least one hundred thousand people in the north with very very limited access to any form of humanitarian care, and then in the south you've got over a million displaced people in you know, really devastating conditions. So there were two hundred trucks that managed to get over the border from Egypt on Sunday. There's been about two thousand in total. But the hope is is that increases a lot a lot more in the coming days. What's the feeling about whether there is enough aid going in right now and whether that aid could potentially be used to support Hamas. There has to still be that concern among the Israelis, right, Yeah, of course, And you know, this is part of the reason why the bureaucracy around getting trucks in, the checks and balances from the Israelis were so stern and and it's also part of the reason why getting aid in was actually difficult in the beginning. That it does seem in recent days to have opened up. There is this notion that, you know, if Israel is to continue its ground offensive against Hamas, that in return, they cannot be seen to be blocking eight you know, and flouting international humanitarian law. But yes, I mean Hamas fighters are spread throughout the Gaza Strip, and many people seem to think that they have a presence in the south too, where there are a lot of civilians. And that factors into a lot of the commentary that we're hearing from a particularly congressional Democrats in Washington, d C. That future aid to Israel might need to be conditioned on international humanitarian law being followed more stringently. How is that potentially factoring in to Israel's decision making when it comes to extending the pause in fighting or carrying on this war even further once whenever the pause ends, it does end well very much. So. Israel are extremely dependent on diplomatic and material support from the United States. Without that, I think, you know that the pressure for them to stop this war is going to mount. So far, we've seen a lot of pressure from Biden's administration to make sure Israel do allowed aid in, but there hasn't been you know, a stringent call for any longer term ceasefire. So it does seem that this green light essentially for Israel to go back in to the Gaza Strip once this truce comes to an end, is very much there, even though perhaps in some other corners of the world, particularly the Gulf and parts of Europe, obviously the pressure is mounting. But yeah, as we all know, the main bidder here is the United States. And as this pause continues, Simon, are there risks of other fronts opening while the pause goes on. I mean there's been sporadic fighting that we've been reporting on in the West Bank, as well as the back and forth over the Israeli Lebanon border. Yes, definitely. As you mentioned the West Bank, I mean just overnight there has been a report there were eight Palestinians killed in the West Bank in an air strike. The situation is very restive there that there is growing settler violence. Since October seven, Jewish settlers in the area have carried out way over two hundred attacks on Palestinian communities, and the Israeli army have also come down pretty tough on demonstrators and suspected sympathizers of Hamas. The population there in general feels like it's being occupied and oppressed, and that the Palestinian authority which runs the show there in some areas, isn't really representative of them. Obviously, if things continue in this direction, there's massive risks of it boiling over, and then, you know, I think beyond that, beyond Israel's borders. So far it has been more or less contained, but it is very, very worrying. We saw Israel strike the airport in Damascus not that long ago, targeting, yeah, targeting Iranian targets there. So clearly it's a it's a huge risk. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast be by six am Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street time, on Bloomberg eleven Priezero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine six in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa. Play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, siriusxmb iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

Han pasado cinco días desde que los Houthis, el grupo rebelde que se disputa el poder en la guerra civil de Yemen, secuestraron un buque de carga en el Mar Rojo. Tras una semana de pesadilla, María Meza, la mamá de un mexicano que está a bordo del barco, dio una entrevista para el diario Associated Press en la que le pidió a los secuestradores que regresen a los jóvenes sanos y salvos. Después de que Hamás e Israel alcanzaron un acuerdo para un alto al fuego temporal y la liberación de algunos rehenes, ayer se dedicaron a afinar los detalles. Se espera que esta mañana sean liberados los primeros diez rehenes secuestrados por Hamás. Lo mismo se prevé que pase con varios prisioneros palestinos, aunque todavía se están definiendo los detalles sobre el número exacto de liberaciones.Además… Adolfo Enríquez Vandekam, un reconocido activista y abogado defensor de derechos humanos, fue asesinado el martes por la noche en León, Guanajuato; El FBI está investigando la explosión de un vehículo cerca de las Cataratas del Niágara, en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Canadá, que dejó dos personas muertas; Con la cola entre las patas, la empresa tecnológica OpenAI, conocida por desarrollar ChatGPT, anunció que su cofundador, Sam Altman, fue restituido en su puesto de CEO y una modelo denunció por acoso sexual a Axl Rose de Guns & RosesPor último, mirando #ElVasoMedioLleno, el zoológico de Chester, en Inglaterra, celebró el nacimiento de una rinoceronta negro oriental. Se trata de uno de los mamíferos más raros del mundo. Por ello, su nacimiento fue visto como un paso importantísimo para el cuidado y la conservación de esta especie.
