“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election as President of the United States. I have already said that we will work with any head of state that the American people trust,” Putin said at a plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club in the resort city of Sochi. He said he was "impressed" with Trump's behavior during two assassination attempts this year and described the US president-elect as a “courageous man." The Russian president claimed that Trump was "hounded" during his first presidential term which made him "afraid to take a step." He also said he is ready to hold discussions with Trump.

Less than a year ago, Ysabel Jurado was an eviction attorney, and a tenant rights advocate hoping to make a positive change in the community.
She launched a grassroots campaign from her family’s home in Highland Park, California. But as election night votes were counted, Jurado took a major leap to become part of the Los Angeles City Council. Jurado had nearly a 10-point lead over incumbent Kevin DeLeon. "I can’t believe it," she said. "It is very exciting, very promising."
On Thursday (U.S. time), Jurado declared victory in the polls.

"This one is for the mums and dads... They, like me, are worried sick about the safety of our kids online. I want Australian families to know that the government has your back," he said. While many of the details are yet to be debated, the government said the ban will not apply to young people already on social media. There will be no exemptions on the age limit for children who have consent from their parents. The government says that the onus will be on social media platforms to show they are taking reasonable steps to prevent access.

Inamin ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., na naubos na ang quick response fund ng gobyerno dahil sa dami ng dumaang bagyo sa bansa.
Kaya naman inatasan ng pangulo ang Department of Budget and Management (DBM) na tugunan ang mga pangangailangan ng bawat ahensiya.
Dapat aniyang may magagamit ang gobyerno pagdating sa disaster response o mahuhugot sa mga susunod pang bagyo.
Nagtabi na rin aniya sila ng pondo para malagyan ang QRF, para sa mga mangangailangang lokal na pamahalaan.

Perhaps the biggest consequence for China — if Trump stays true to his campaign promises — is his threat to slap blanket 60% tariffs on all Chinese exports to the U.S. A 60% duty on Chinese imports could shave off 2.5 percentage points, or about half, of China’s projected economic growth, according to an analysis published earlier this year by UBS.
