Mexico president will ask Trump to deport non-Mexican migrants directly to their home countries
Mexico’s president said Thursday she will ask President-elect Donald Trump to deport non-Mexican migrants directly to their home countries, rather than dumping them at the Mexican border. President Claudia Sheinbaum said she hopes to reach an agreement with Trump so that “they send people who come from other countries to their countries of origin.” Mexico, like any other country, is not obligated to accept non-Mexican migrants, but it has agreed to do so in the recent past, especially from countries like Cuba and Venezuela, which often refuse deportation flights from the United States, but may accept them from Mexico.

Who is Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of Syria's shock insurgency?
Over the past dozen years, Syrian militant leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani has worked to remake his public image and the insurgency he commands, renouncing longtime ties to al-Qaida and consolidating power before emerging from the shadows. Now al-Golani, 42, seeks to seize the moment yet again, leading his fighters in a stunning offensive that has put them in control of Syria’s largest city, reigniting the country's long civil war and raising new questions about President Bashar Assad’s hold on power. The surge and al-Golani's place at the head of it are evidence of a remarkable transformation.

As Le Pen gambles on felling French government, her far-right protege's star rises
PARIS (Reuters) -As nationalist leader Marine Le Pen orchestrated the overthrow of France's government on Wednesday, several thousand people lined up outside a Paris cafe for a chance to share a brief word or even a selfie with the rising star of France's far right. Jordan Bardella, Le Pen's 29-year-old wingman, is a lawmaker in the European Parliament, so he was not at the National Assembly voting alongside his fellow National Rally (RN) party members on Wednesday to oust Prime Minister Michel Barnier. "It's the book they don't want you to read," said Bardella during a glitzy promotional tour that has coincided with France's second major political crisis in six months - one that has lifted his political fortunes just as those of his long-time mentor Le Pen come under threat.
