abus ps88 sicherheitsdatenblatt By JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday voiced his support for the dockworkers union before their contract expires next month at Eastern and Gulf Coast ports, saying that any further “automation” of the ports would harm workers.

Foreign companies have made a fortune in the U.S. by giving them access to our markets. They shouldn’t be looking for every last penny knowing how many families are hurt.” The International Longshoremen’s Association has until Jan. 15 to negotiate a new contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies. At the heart of the dispute is whether ports can install automated gates, cranes and container-moving trucks that could make it faster to unload and load ships. The union argues that automation would lead to fewer jobs, even though higher levels of productivity could do more to boost the salaries of remaining workers. The Maritime Alliance said in a statement that the contract goes beyond ports to “supporting American consumers and giving American businesses access to the global marketplace – from farmers, to manufacturers, to small businesses, and innovative start-ups looking for new markets to sell their products.” “To achieve this, we need modern technology that is proven to improve worker safety, boost port efficiency, increase port capacity, and strengthen our supply chains,” said the alliance, adding that it looks forward to working with Trump. In October, the union representing 45,000 dockworkers went on strike for three days, raising the risk that a prolonged shutdown could push up inflation by making it difficult to unload container ships and export American products overseas. The issue pits an incoming president who won November’s election on the promise of bringing down prices against commitments to support blue-collar workers along with the kinds of advanced technology that drew him support from Silicon Valley elite such as billionaire Elon Musk. Trump sought to portray the dispute as being between U.S. workers and foreign companies, but advanced ports are also key for staying globally competitive. China is opening a $1.3 billion port in Peru that could accommodate ships too large for the Panama Canal. There is a risk that shippers could move to other ports, which could also lead to job losses. Mexico is constructing a port that is highly automated, while Dubai, Singapore and Rotterdam already have more advanced ports. Instead, Trump said that ports and shipping companies should eschew “machinery, which is expensive, and which will constantly have to be replaced.” “For the great privilege of accessing our markets, these foreign companies should hire our incredible American Workers, instead of laying them off, and sending those profits back to foreign countries,” Trump posted. “It is time to put AMERICA FIRST!”

The NSE Nifty 50 consolidates between 23,500 support and 23,860 resistance. Analysts highlight that a breakout above 23,860 may target 24,000-24,100, while a drop below 23,500 could signal further downside. "Technically, Nifty managed to cross the 200-day simple moving average, or 200-DSMA, on the daily chart but failed to sustain above it, forming a doji candle. On the weekly chart, the index has formed an inside bar candlestick pattern, indicating strong demand near the 23,500-23,540 zone. The 200-DSMA is placed around 23,860, which will act as an immediate hurdle for Nifty. A sustainable move above this level could drive the index towards 24,000–24,100," according to Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP technical and derivatives research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd. "On the downside, 23,500 remains a key support. In the immediate term, Nifty is expected to consolidate between 23,500 and 23,900, with a breakout on either side defining its next move," said Yedve. "With no significant triggers in the near term, markets are likely to remain range-bound. Pre-quarterly business updates to be released in the first week of January 2025 will provide insights into the upcoming result season and would be keenly tracked by the markets," said Siddhartha Khemka, head of research, wealth management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. "After oscillating within a well-established range of 23,650-23,850, the index has formed consecutive doji candles on the daily chart, while the weekly chart shows a spinning top or inside bar candlestick pattern. A decisive move in either direction is required to establish a clear trend," according to Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares. Bank Nifty closed marginally higher at 51,311. Yedve noted that on the daily chart, the index formed a small green candle, and on the weekly chart, it displayed an inside bar candlestick pattern. The 200-Day Simple Moving Average, or 200-DSMA, is currently placed around 50,580, which will serve as strong support, while the 100-Day Exponential Moving Average, or 100-DEMA, at 51,630 acts as resistance. "In the short term, Bank Nifty is expected to trade within the 50,550–51,650 range, with a breakout in either direction determining its future trajectory,” he said.

The international community has been quick to react to the Israeli airstrikes, with calls for de-escalation and a return to diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. The United Nations has expressed its deep concern about the situation and called on all parties to exercise restraint and respect international law. The ongoing violence in Syria has already had devastating consequences for the Syrian people, and any further escalation could have far-reaching implications for regional stability.As the day drew to a close, the judge announced that a verdict would be delivered at a later date, bringing the second hearing to a temporary halt. The uncertainty hung in the air, leaving everyone involved in the case in a state of anticipation and apprehension.

For Assad, seeking asylum in Russia may provide a temporary safe haven, but it is unlikely to shield him from potential international legal repercussions for his role in the Syrian civil war. The international community will closely monitor the situation and push for accountability if evidence of war crimes and human rights abuses emerges.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syria's de facto leader said Sunday it could take up to four years to hold elections in Syria, and that he plans to dissolve his Islamist group that led the country's insurgency at an anticipated national dialogue summit for the country. Ahmad al-Sharaa, who leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the group leading the new authority in Syria, made the remarks in an interview with Saudi television network Al-Arabiyya. It comes almost a month after a lightning insurgency led by HTS overthrew President Bashar Assad's decades-long rule, ending the country's uprising-turned civil war that started back in 2011. Al-Sharaa said it would take time to hold elections because of the need for Syria's different forces to hold political dialogue and rewrite the country's constitution following five decades of the Assad dynasty's dictatorial rule. Also, the war-torn country's battered infrastructure needs to be reconstructed, he said. “The chance we have today doesn’t come every 5 or 10 years,” said al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani. “We want the constitution to last for the longest time possible.” Al-Sharaa is Syria's de facto leader until March 1, when Syria's different factions are set to hold a political dialogue to determine the country's political future and establish a transitional government that brings the divided country together. There, he said, HTS will dissolve after years of being the country's most dominant rebel group that held a strategic enclave in the country's northwest. Earlier, an Israeli airstrike in the outskirts of Damascus on Sunday killed 11 people, according to a war monitor, as Israel continues to target Syrian weapons and military infrastructure even after the ouster of Assad. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrike targeted a weapons depot that belonged to Assad’s forces near the industrial town of Adra, northeast of the capital. The observatory said at least 11 people, mostly civilians, were killed. The Israeli military did not comment on the airstrike Sunday. Israel, which has launched hundreds of airstrikes over Syria since the country's uprising turned-civil war broke out in 2011, rarely acknowledges them. It says its targets are Iran-backed groups that backed Assad. Unlike his criticism of key Assad ally Iran, al-Sharaa hoped to maintain “strategic relations” with Russia, whose air force played a critical role in keeping Assad in power for over a decade during the conflict. Moscow has a strategic airbase in Syria. The HTS leader also said negotiations are ongoing with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in northeastern Syria, and hopes that their armed forces will integrate with the Syrian security agencies. The Kurdish-led group is Washington’s key ally in Syria, where it is heavily involved in targeting sleeper cells belonging to the extremist Islamic State group. Turkish-backed Syrian rebels have been clashing with the SDF even after the insurgency, taking the key city of Manbij, as Ankara hopes to create a buffer zone near its border in northern Syria. The rebels attacked near the strategic northern border town of Kobani, while the SDF shared a video of a rocket attack that destroyed what it said was a radar system south of the city of Manbij. In other developments: — Syrian state-run media said a mass grave was found near the third largest city of Homs. SANA said civil defense workers were sent to to the site in al-Kabo, one of many suspected mass graves where tens of thousands of Syrians are believed to have been buried during a brutal crackdown under Assad and his network of security agencies. — An Egyptian activist wanted by Cairo on charges of incitement to violence and terrorism, Abdulrahman al-Qardawi, was detained by Lebanese security forces after crossing the porous border from Syria, according to two judicial and one security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to to talk to the press. Al-Qardawi is an Egyptian activist residing in Turkey and an outspoken critic of Egypt's government. He had reportedly visited Syria to join celebrations after Assad's downfall. His late father, Youssef al-Qaradawi, was a top and controversial Egyptian cleric revered by the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. He had lived in exile in Qatar for decades. — Lebanese security forces apprehended an armed group in the northern city of Tripoli that kidnapped a group of 26 Syrians who were recently smuggled into Lebanon, two Lebanese security officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information with the media. The Syrians included five women and seven children, and security officials are working to return them to Syria. Kareem Chehayeb, The Associated Press

Root canal therapy, a common procedure in dentistry to treat infected or decayed teeth, involves removing the inflamed pulp inside the tooth and sealing it to prevent further infection.

Trump offers support for dockworkers union by saying ports shouldn’t install more automated systemsIn the realm of agriculture, the failed temperature drop post-snowfall can have significant implications for crop growth and yields. Fluctuating weather conditions, coupled with unpredictable temperature changes, pose challenges to farmers who rely on seasonal patterns to plan their planting and harvesting schedules. The impact of these climate variations extends beyond individual farms to the broader food supply chain, potentially leading to disruptions in food availability and prices.

Title: Trump Launches "Fight Fight Fight" Perfume-Embodying the Spirit of VictoryIn conclusion, the U.S. response to the Israeli airstrikes in Syria highlights the challenges facing the international community in addressing the complex and multi-faceted conflict in the region. While recognizing the legitimate security concerns of Israel, the U.S. has called for restraint and diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation and to uphold the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity in Syria. It is imperative that all parties involved in the conflict prioritize dialogue and compromise in order to achieve a lasting and sustainable peace in the region.
