 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. In his "farewell address" Wednesday, Biden warned of the growth of an oligarchy in America which his own administration has helped to foster and strengthen. While some progress has been made on containing the blazes, officials have said it could be at least another week, if not longer, until the over 80,000 residents who are still displaced would be allowed to return to their homes. Despite the announcement Wednesday that Israel had agreed to implement a ceasefire in the genocide, the Israeli military is continuing its rampage throughout Gaza. Jordanian-Palestinian independent journalist Sam Husseini of the Institute for Public Accuracy was pick up from his chair by four security guards and hauled out of the final press briefing of Secretary of State Antony Blinken because he insisted on asking questions about the Biden administration's support for genocide in Gaza. After speaking at an anti-genocide rally in Teaneck, New Jersey, a travel nurse spoke to the WSWS about his two weeks providing volunteer medical care at the European Gaza Hospital. These 78 workers were murdered by the ANC government. Its barbarous actions are a devastating indictment of bourgeois nationalism and all the forces who have backed the ANC historically, including the South African Communist Party and the Congress of South African Trade Unions. The political crisis in South Korea is only continuing to intensify and will not be resolved with Yoon's detention. The workers at the wider plant produce critical components for several of the company's major commercial vehicle brands, including Freightliner and Western Star trucks and Thomas Built school buses. The New South Wales government's move to terminate industrial action by Sydney Trains staff is part of a broader assault on the rights of all workers to fight back against cuts to their real wages and conditions. Syria's new foreign minister visits Ankara as tensions between Turkey and Israel and France escalate The new administration's first visit to Ankara comes amid an intensifying struggle for the partition of Syria between the states behind the overthrow of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by jihadists led by the al-Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Even as contract talks resume and an Industrial Inquiry Commission is scheduled for its first hearings on the future of Canada Post on January 27 and 28, plans are well underway to gut jobs, degrade working conditions and transform the country's postal service into a skeleton operation in the name of returning to profitability. That ballots for a postal contract are being affected by delays underscores that the USPS is under massive assault, which the contract would only continue and deepen. The fight for these demands immediately poses the need for a broader industrial and political struggle against the Democrats, Republicans and trade union apparatus. At the recent Golden Globe awards, it became the second-most-nominated film in the event's history. (More than anything else, however, this points toward the current cinema vacuum.) On January 1, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk took over the presidency of the Council of the European Union. On taking office, Tusk made clear what was central for him: Europe must be ready for war. Around 25,000 walk out in Belgium against government proposal to raise pension age to 66 and increase number of qualifying years; retired teachers, social security and telecom workers in Iran demand pensions that keep up with the rising cost of living, while wood and paper workers in Rezvanshahr protest unpaid wages; healthcare workers including doctors, nurses and ancillary staff at hospital in South Africa strike after lack of adequate water supply for 20 days Starmer's Labour government is risking patient safety by shifting burdens instead of solving systemic issues. Though he claims, "I'm not interested in putting ideology before patients," his plan reflects a Thatcherite push toward a two-tier healthcare system.
