BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

The Philippines swore in Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. as President on Thursday. Marcos Jr. is the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos’ (1917-1989) son, who is now completing a decades-long effort to restore his family to the country’s highest office.

Philippines’ Marcos was ousted in a popular revolt in 1986. Today, his son won the presidential elections with approximately 31 million votes, making him the official successor of popular President Rodrigo Duterte and his reputation for leading the infamous war on drugs.

At a public event at the National Museum in Manila, where hundreds of local and foreign dignitaries and media will be present, Marcos Jr. will take the oath on Thursday at noon.

For the inauguration, more than 15,000 police, troops, and coast guard members have been stationed across the capital.

It happens a few days after the highest court rejected last-ditch efforts to disqualify Marcos Jr. from the election and prevent him from assuming office.

Marcos Jr. has prioritized combating inflation, fostering development, and increasing food production as rising costs strain an economy already devastated by Covid-19.

He has made the unusual decision to name himself secretary of agriculture to oversee the reform of the troubled industry.

The rights of the Philippines to the disputed South China Sea, which Beijing claims nearly exclusively, have also been vowed to be claimed by Marcos Jr.

But after having largely avoided media appearances, he has provided very little information about how he plans to accomplish his objectives or suggestions about his leadership style.
