Russia, Iran, and China began the 'Maritime Security Belt 2026' exercises on Thursday, focusing on countering maritime threats like piracy through coordinated special forces operations near the Strait of Hormuz. The drills come amid rising U.S.-Iran friction over Tehran's nuclear program, with President Trump issuing a short deadline for a deal and deploying carriers, drones, and bombers to the region. A Russian command plane's arrival in Tehran fueled online worries of escalation, though experts call it posturing tied to deepening Moscow-Tehran ties rather than war preparations.

Key Takeaway

Helicopters hovered as Iranian and Russian special forces rappelled onto a mock hijacked ship, practicing rescues in the Gulf of Oman just as U.S. forces build up nearby.

Amorim took charge on November 11, 2024, after Ten Hag's dismissal, but United finished 15th last season with just 42 points—their worst Premier League placing.

Fans debate fiercely if sacking Ten Hag was wrong, as some see attacking gains and green shoots, while others fixate on the 48-point swing and demand results ahead of Boxing Day at Newcastle.

Key Takeaway

Manchester United supporters are poring over a tough stat: Rúben Amorim's 14 Premier League wins in his first 44 games fall far short of Erik ten Hag's 30 over the same span.

Since Michael Carrick took over as interim manager following Ruben Amorim's sacking earlier this month, Manuel Ugarte has played just 27 minutes across six unbeaten games, including triumphs over Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham, and Everton. That pushed United to fourth in the Premier League, with fans linking the hot streak directly to Ugarte's absence—especially after his 15-minute sub against Fulham led to a late scare in a 3-2 win. The £50 million signing from PSG has seen United concede 24 goals in games with him on the pitch this season, prompting calls to sell while a few urge patience amid plans for a summer midfield shake-up.

Key Takeaway

Manchester United's midfield suddenly clicks without Manuel Ugarte, sparking fan chatter after a string of gritty wins under interim boss Michael Carrick.

The declaration, adopted on November 22 under President Cyril Ramaphosa's host presidency themed 'Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability,' covers 122 points on African growth, debt relief, climate finance, and connecting 300 million people to electricity by 2030. In a statement by spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela, the opposition MK Party criticized it for favoring rich nations through IMF roles, weak renewable pushes without tech support, and a minerals framework that keeps processing abroad. Ramaphosa hailed it as a commitment to real action, while the text stresses voluntary steps respecting national sovereignty and African priorities like Agenda 2063. As the presidency passes to the U.S., the MK Party calls for African-led finance free of IMF strings.

Key Takeaway

South Africa's MK Party issued a pointed rejection of the G20 Leaders' Declaration from the Johannesburg summit. They see its promises on debt, energy, and minerals as maintaining old dependencies rather than empowering Africa.
