The sudden closure of Canon’s long‑standing printer plant in Zhongshan, Guangdong, has cast a fresh spotlight on the fragile diplomatic relations between China and Japan. The facility, which had operated for nearly a quarter‑century and employed about 1,600 workers, announced on November 24 that it would close down on November 28, due to “years of mounting cost pressures and rapidly shifting market conditions.” The factory at its peak employed more than 10,000 people.

US President Donald Trump has toyed with declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group since his first administration. An executive order he recently signed to designate some of the group’s affiliates put him a step closer, but it landed as a dud. An Arab official who spoke with Middle East Eye brushed off the move as “symbolic”, while a western diplomat in the Gulf who spoke with MEE called it “forgettable”. The loudest reaction came from diehard pro-Israel voices in the US, like Laura Loomer. “We were all gaslit,” Loomer said, decrying that Trump’s executive order, which set up a…
Cristian Romero’s last-gasp overhead kick rescued Tottenham, who twice fell behind, a dramatic point with a 2-2 draw at Newcastle to help ease the pressure on boss Thomas Frank.In what was a frantic finale at St James’ Park, Anthony Gordon’s controversial penalty (86) looked to be condemning Spurs to a fourth straight defeat in all competitions.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The West Virginia Board of Education on Tuesday reinstated a school vaccination mandate after the state Supreme Court paused a lower court’s ruling that allowed parents to cite religious beliefs to opt out of shots required for their children to attend classes.The Supreme Court earlier Tuesday issued a stay in last week’s ruling by Raleigh County Circuit Judge Michael Froble in a class-action lawsuit. In issuing an injunction, Froble said children of families who objected to the state’s compulsory vaccination law on religious grounds would be allowed to attend school and participate in extracurricular sports. The…
Erling Haaland brought up his century of Premier League goals as Manchester City survived a remarkable Fulham comeback in a madcap 5-4 win.City were 5-1 up and cruising shortly after half-time, but goals from Alex Iwobi and substitute Samuel Chukwueze’s double left them clinging on for dear life by the end.They are now two points behind leaders Arsenal, who host Brentford on Wednesday, but a title tilt is surely not sustainable with defending like this.Haaland had earlier become, by some distance, the quickest player to score 100 times in the Premier League, taking just 111 matches.He took only 17 minutes…
