As the newly elected government prepares to take office, the main opposition group has expressed strong skepticism and criticism regarding the promised prompt action that the incoming administration has pledged to take. The opposition has voiced concerns about the feasibility and effectiveness of the new government's proposed agenda, casting doubt on its ability to deliver on its promises. This skepticism stems from a history of unfulfilled commitments and failed policies by previous administrations, leading the opposition to question the legitimacy and capability of the incoming leadership.Hundreds detained in Northern Ireland trying to travel into Britain after crossing Irish BorderHouston's 'Mattress Mack' Jim McIngvale to Undergo Open-Heart Surgery, Seeks Community Support

The road ahead is uncertain, with many challenges still ahead for the war-torn nation. Rebuilding Syria, providing aid to those in need, and ensuring a lasting peace will require a concerted effort from the international community.The road ahead may be challenging for the affected farmers and the wider poultry industry, but with collective efforts and swift action, it is hoped that the impact of the outbreak can be minimized, and lessons can be learned to strengthen Japan's biosecurity defenses against future threats. Only through unity and proactive measures can we safeguard the health and well-being of our poultry population and ensure the sustainable growth of the agricultural sector.
But alongside his stark warning of the threats facing Britain and its allies, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said there would be only a “remote chance” Russia would directly attack or invade the UK if the two countries were at war. The Chief of the Defence Staff laid out the landscape of British defence in a wide-ranging speech, after a minister warned the Army would be wiped out in as little as six months if forced to fight a war on the scale of the Ukraine conflict. The admiral cast doubt on the possibility as he gave a speech at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) defence think tank in London. He told the audience Britain needed to be “clear-eyed in our assessment” of the threats it faces, adding: “That includes recognising that there is only a remote chance of a significant direct attack or invasion by Russia on the United Kingdom, and that’s the same for the whole of Nato.” Moscow “knows the response will be overwhelming”, he added, but warned the nuclear deterrent needed to be “kept strong and strengthened”. Sir Tony added: “We are at the dawn of a third nuclear age, which is altogether more complex. It is defined by multiple and concurrent dilemmas, proliferating nuclear and disruptive technologies and the almost total absence of the security architectures that went before.” The first nuclear age was the Cold War, while the second was “governed by disarmament efforts and counter proliferation”, the armed forces chief said. He listed the “wild threats of tactical nuclear use” by Russia, China building up its weapon stocks, Iran’s failure to co-operate with a nuclear deal, and North Korea’s “erratic behaviour” among the threats faced by the West. But Sir Tony said the UK’s nuclear arsenal is “the one part of our inventory of which Russia is most aware and has more impact on (President Vladimir) Putin than anything else”. Successive British governments had invested “substantial sums of money” in renewing nuclear submarines and warheads because of this, he added. The admiral described the deployment of thousands of North Korean soldiers on Ukraine’s border alongside Russian forces as the year’s “most extraordinary development”. He also signalled further deployments were possible, speaking of “tens of thousands more to follow as part of a new security pact with Russia”. Defence minister Alistair Carns earlier said a rate of casualties similar to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would lead to the army being “expended” within six to 12 months. He said it illustrated the need to “generate depth and mass rapidly in the event of a crisis”. In comments reported by Sky News, Mr Carns, a former Royal Marines colonel, said Russia was suffering losses of around 1,500 soldiers killed or injured a day. “In a war of scale – not a limited intervention, but one similar to Ukraine – our Army for example, on the current casualty rates, would be expended – as part of a broader multinational coalition – in six months to a year,” Mr Carns said in a speech at Rusi. He added: “That doesn’t mean we need a bigger Army, but it does mean you need to generate depth and mass rapidly in the event of a crisis.” Official figures show the Army had 109,245 personnel on October 1, including 25,814 volunteer reservists. Mr Carns, the minister for veterans and people, said the UK needed to “catch up with Nato allies” to place greater emphasis on the reserves. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said Defence Secretary John Healey had previously spoken about “the state of the armed forces that were inherited from the previous government”. The spokesman said: “It’s why the Budget invested billions of pounds into defence, it’s why we’re undertaking a strategic defence review to ensure that we have the capabilities and the investment needed to defend this country.”
TISDALE – The Tisdale Curling rink is the recipient of $15,000 from Project Cornerstone funding. Greg Little, president of the Tisdale Curling Club, says they have about 100 curlers in the curling club, men’s, ladies’, seniors and 23 junior curlers and they are looking to grow that. Little said this year’s plans for the Tisdale Curling Club are to renovate the kitchen and lounge as well as replace some equipment. Money from the Project Cornerstone fund is going toward a new cooler in their kitchen, brooms and sliders for the junior curling program and a new scraper for the ice surface, says Marc Anderson, general manager. There was a total of $100,000 committed through the Project Cornerstone program in 2024. This year’s funding was provided to a total of four different projects, the Tisdale Curling Club being one of them. The other projects approved were: Wolseley Sportsplex for $25,000; the Broncs Parents Association for $50,000 for a major improvement project at Indian Head High School’s McCall Field and on Friday, Nov. 29 they announced $10,000 awarded to Kemoca Regional Park (Montmartre) towards their new swimming pool project. Lori Walsh, spokesperson for Cornerstone Credit Union said that Project Cornerstone was launched in 2006. Since its inception, this funding has spent over $650,000 on 50 different projects. Cornerstone has branches in Tisdale and Rose Valley. Little said, “The curling rink offers not just a place to play, but also a space to catch up and socialize during the long winter months. But it’s not possible without the hard work of volunteers who dedicate their time for their community and neighbours.”
