He travelled the length and breadth of the country, improving more than 200 of the greatest estates in the land, for some of the most influential people in the 18th century. But there is one plan that never got off the drawing board – his own garden.

For 54 years, the Assad family dominated Syria’s government, despite a civil war that had raged since 2011. But a renewed rebel offensive against the government that began at the end of November 2024 exposed the Assad regime in the country as an empty house of cards. The Assad family’s rule in the country was decisively overthrown in a matter of only 11 days.

At least 11 killed as driver rams crowd

Canadian prosecutors have charged a 30-year-old Vancouver resident with murder for killing at least 11 people aged between five and 65 and injuring dozens after he rammed a vehicle through a crowd at a Filipino community festival in the western Canadian city, police said. The man, Kai-Ji Adam Lo, was charged with eight counts of second-degree murder by prosecutors in British Columbia and “further charges are anticipated”, according to a post on X by the Vancouver Police. Lo appeared in court on Sunday, hours after police arrested him at the scene of the incident on Saturday evening. Court documents seen by Reuters did not show a plea.
