Emboldened by the view from the top of the NFC North, the Detroit Lions are out to eliminate nightmare holiday gatherings when the Chicago Bears come to town Thursday for a lunchtime division duel. The Lions (10-1) are streaking one direction, the Bears (4-7) the other in the first matchup of the season between teams on opposite ends of the division. Riding a nine-game winning streak, their longest since a 10-game streak during their first season in Detroit in 1934, the Lions are burdened by losses in their traditional Thanksgiving Day game the past seven seasons. Three of the defeats are courtesy of Chicago. The Bears and Lions get together for the 20th time on Thanksgiving -- the Bears have 11 wins -- this week in the first of two meetings between the teams in a 25-day span. Detroit goes to Soldier Field on Dec. 22. "I think there's two things," Campbell said of the Thanksgiving losing streak. "Number one -- Get a W. And it's a division win that's why this huge. Number two is because the players are going to get a couple of days off. So, they have family, friends in, it'd be nice to feel good about it when you're with everybody because it's just not real fun. It's not real fun to be around." Detroit (10-1) owns the best record in the NFC but the Lions aren't even assured of a division title. Minnesota sits one game behind them and Green Bay is two games back. The Bears (4-7) sit in last place and would likely need to run the table to have any chance of making the playoffs. The Lions have been dominant in all phases and haven't allowed a touchdown in the past 10 consecutive quarters. Detroit's offense ranks first in points per game (32.7) and second in total yardage (394.3) The Lions defense has not given up a touchdown in the last 10 quarters. Rookie placekicker Jake Bates has made all 16 of his field goal attempts, including four from 50-plus yards over the past three games. Chicago shows up in a foul mood. The Bears are saddled with a five-game losing streak and Chicago's defense has been destroyed for nearly 2,000 total yards in the last four games. The Bears failed to reach the 20-point mark four times in five outings since they last won a game. In their latest defeat, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense perked up but they lost to Minnesota in overtime, 30-27. "We have to play complementary football for us to be able to win these games," coach Matt Eberflus said. "The games we have won, we have done that. The games we have been close we've missed the mark a little bit. Over the course of the year, it's been one side or the other, this side or that side. In this league you have to be good on all sides to win. That's what we are searching for." Williams threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. The wide receiver trio of DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Romeo Odunze combined for 21 receptions and two touchdowns while tight end Cole Kmet caught seven passes. "What I've been impressed with is just how he has grown," Campbell said. "He has grown every game but these last two I really feel like he's taken off and what they're doing with him has been really good for him and he just looks very composed. He doesn't get frazzled, plays pretty fast, and he's an accurate passer, big arm, and he's got some guys that can get open for him." Detroit's banged-up secondary could be susceptible against the Bears' veteran receivers in their bid to pull off an upset on Thursday. The Lions put two defensive backs on injured reserve in the past week and top cornerback Carlton Davis isn't expected to play due to knee and thumb injuries. Detroit offensive tackle Taylor Decker (knee) and top returner Kalif Raymond (foot) are also expected to miss the game, though Campbell expressed optimism that running back David Montgomery (shoulder), formerly of the Bears, would play. Bears safety Elijah Hicks was listed as a DNP for Tuesday's walkthrough. --Field Level Media

BEIRUT (AP) — Thousands of Syrian insurgents took over most of Aleppo on Saturday, establishing positions in the country's largest city and controlling its airport before expanding their shock offensive to a nearby province. They faced little to no resistance from government troops, according to fighters and activists. A war monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the insurgents led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham seized control of Aleppo International airport, the first international airport to be controlled by insurgents. The fighters claimed they seized the airport and postefd pictures from there. Thousands of fighters also moved on, facing almost no defense from government forces, to seize towns and villages in northern Hama, a province where they had a presence before being expelled by government troops in 2016. They claimed Saturday evening to have entered Hama city. A huge embarrassment for Assad The swift and surprise offensive is a huge embarrassment for Syria's President Bashar Assad and raised questions about his armed forces' preparedness. The insurgent offensive launched from their stronghold in the country's northwest appeared to have been planned for years. It also comes at a time when Assad's allies were preoccupied with their own conflicts. Turkey, a main backer of Syrian opposition groups, said its diplomatic efforts had failed to stop government attacks on opposition-held areas in recent weeks, which were in violation of a de-escalation agreement sponsored by Russia, Iran and Ankara. Turkish security officials said a limited offensive by the rebels was planned to stop government attacks and allow civilians to return, but the offensive expanded as Syrian government forces began to retreat from their positions. The insurgents, led by the Salafi jihadi group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and including Turkey-backed fighters, launched their shock offensive on Wednesday. They first staged a two-pronged attack in Aleppo and the Idlib countryside, entering Aleppo two days later and securing a strategic town that lies on the highway that links Syria's largest city to the capital and the coast. By Saturday evening, they seized at least four towns in the central Hama province and claimed to have entered the provincial capital. The insurgents staged an attempt to reclaim areas they controlled in Hama in 2017 but failed. Preparing a counterattack Syria’s armed forces said in a statement Saturday that to absorb the large attack on Aleppo and save lives, it redeployed troops and equipment and was preparing a counterattack. The statement acknowledged that insurgents entered large parts of the city but said they have not established bases or checkpoints. Later on Saturday, the armed forces sought to dispel what it said were lies in reference to reports about its forces retreating or defecting, saying the general command was carrying out its duties in “combatting terrorist organizations.” The return of the insurgents to Aleppo was their first since 2016, following a grueling military campaign in which Assad's forces were backed by Russia, Iran and its allied groups. The 2016 battle for Aleppo was a turning point in the war between Syrian government forces and rebel fighters after 2011 protests against Assad’s rule turned into an all-out war. After appearing to be losing control of the country to the rebels, the Aleppo battle secured Assad’s hold on strategic areas of Syria, with opposition factions and their foreign backers controlling areas on the periphery. The lightning offensive threatened to reignite the country's civil war, which had been largely in a stalemate for years. Late on Friday, witnesses said two airstrikes hit the edge of Aleppo city, targeting insurgent reinforcements and falling near residential areas. The Observatory said 20 fighters were killed. Insurgents were filmed outside police headquarters, in the city center, and outside the Aleppo citadel, the medieval palace in the old city center, and one of the largest in the world. They tore down posters of Assad, stepping on some and burning others. The push into Aleppo followed weeks of simmering low-level violence, including government attacks on opposition-held areas. The offensive came as Iran-linked groups, primarily Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which has backed Syrian government forces since 2015, have been preoccupied with their own battles at home. A ceasefire in Hezbollah’s two-month war with Israel took effect Wednesday, the same day that Syrian opposition factions announced their offensive. Israel has also escalated its attacks against Hezbollah and Iran-linked targets in Syria during the last 70 days. Insurgents raise flags over the Aleppo citadel Speaking from the heart of the city in Saadallah Aljabri square, opposition fighter Mohammad Al Abdo said it was his first time back in Aleppo in 13 years, when his older brother was killed at the start of the war. “God willing, the rest of Aleppo province will be liberated" from government forces, he said. There was light traffic in the city center on Saturday. Opposition fighters fired in the air in celebration but there was no sign of clashes or government troops present. Journalists in the city filmed soldiers captured by the insurgents and the bodies of others killed in battle. Abdulkafi Alhamdo, a teacher who fled Aleppo in 2016 and returned Friday night after hearing the insurgents were inside, described “mixed feelings of pain, sadness and old memories." “As I entered Aleppo, I kept telling myself this is impossible. How did this happen?” Alhamdo said he strolled through the city at night visiting the Aleppo citadel, where the insurgents raised their flags, a major square and the university of Aleppo, as well as the last spot he was in before he was forced to leave for the countryside. “I walked in (the empty) streets of Aleppo, shouting, ‘People, people of Aleppo. We are your sons,’” he told The Associated Press in a series of messages. City's hospitals are full Aleppo residents reported hearing clashes and gunfire but most stayed indoors. Some fled the fighting. Schools and government offices were closed Saturday as most people stayed indoors, according to Sham FM radio, a pro-government station. Bakeries were open. Witnesses said the insurgents deployed security forces around the city to prevent any acts of violence or looting. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Friday Aleppo's two key public hospitals were reportedly full of patients while many private facilities closed. In social media posts, the insurgents were pictured outside of the citadel, the medieval palace in the old city center, and one of the largest in the world. In cellphone videos, they recorded themselves having conversations with residents they visited at home, seeking to reassure them they will cause no harm. The Syrian Kurdish-led administration in the country's east said nearly 3,000 people, most of them students, had arrived in their region after fleeing the fighting in Aleppo, which has a sizeable Kurdish population. State media reported that a number of “terrorists," including sleeper cells, infiltrated parts of the city. Government troops chased them and arrested a number who posed for pictures near city landmarks, they said. On a state TV morning show Saturday, commentators said army reinforcements and Russia’s assistance would repel the “terrorist groups,” blaming Turkey for supporting the insurgents’ push into Aleppo and Idlib provinces. Russia’s state news agency Tass quoted Oleg Ignasyuk, a Russian Defense Ministry official coordinating in Syria, as saying that Russian warplanes targeted and killed 200 militants who had launched the offensive in the northwest on Friday. It provided no further details. Associated Press writer Albert Aji in Damascus contributed to this report.Canada's Controversial Refugee Reform: Fast-Tracking Rejections

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) wants to reach the stars – quite literally – with plans to rebrand itself as the Royal Thai Air and Space Force. Alongside this name change, a National Air and Space Interests Coordination Center will be established in order to oversee both Thailand’s internal and external aerospace defense activities. The announcement was made last week by RTAF spokesperson Air Marshal Prapas Sornchaidee, following the first defense commanders meeting of the 2025 fiscal year. Before any of these proposals can officially take flight, legislative changes will be necessary. If all goes as expected, the process should be finalized by 2028. Thailand’s space agenda has traditionally been confined to research and socio-economic applications. In these areas, and in relative terms within Southeast Asia, Thailand is among the most advanced and active nations . Through its Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), founded as a public organization in 2000, Thailand has become a trailblazer in earth observation technology. The THEOS-1 and THEOS-2 satellites, launched in 2008 and 2023 respectively, have contributed immensely to the country’s agriculture and environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management. The next generation of THEOS, projected to launch by 2027, is being mostly if not entirely developed and assembled domestically, demonstrating Thailand’s progress in both technical expertise and infrastructure. GISTDA’s Assembly Integration and Testing Center in Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor, home to the making of THEOS-3, has emerged as an important facility for both private space start-ups and the RTAF. It is here that Thai Universe-1, reportedly the RTAF’s first self-made nanosatellite crafted using affordable commercial-grade components instead of expensive space-grade ones, is undergoing testing. The RTAF’s foray into space took its first major step when Napa-1, contracted to the Dutch firm ISISPACE, entered orbit in 2020. The minimally modified Napa-2 quickly followed in 2021. The RTAF’s 80-page white paper , released earlier this year as an update to the 2020 edition, dedicates substantial attention to the growing significance of space. It highlights the precarious vulnerability that comes with reliance on space assets as major powers clash. At the same time, it stresses smaller powers’ need to harness space technology for enhanced military intelligence. This is crucial for the RTAF’s effective long-term operations across three designated areas: the global area of interest (where Thai citizens are located), area of influence (Southeast Asia), and area of responsibility (Thailand’s sovereign territory). The RTAF’s area of responsibility, which includes Thailand’s flight information region and exclusive economic zone, totals 1,979,722 square kilometers. So far from being an abrupt and hollow change as some might perceive, the RTAF’s latest efforts reflect the gradual consolidation of Thailand’s military space interest, which is modest and defensive in nature. This context explains why the Space Force is not being formed as an independent armed branch, but will remain attached to the Air Force. The proposed National Air and Space Interests Coordination Center is clearly modeled after the Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Center (Thai-MECC), Thailand’s centralized body for maritime security governance. As I wrote in an article published by the CSIS Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, Thai-MECC has proven highly effective in tackling threats to Thailand’s maritime interests, as it is legally empowered to conduct surveillance and investigations, and to mobilize resources from the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) and six other government agencies. Manpower isn’t much of an issue in the sense that Thai-MECC personnel are rotated from various agencies, avoiding the additional costs of new hires. An interesting point of observation will be the civil-military dynamics of the new coordination effort. The Thai-MECC is dominated by the RTN, whether on paper or in practice, leaving civilian agencies somewhat in the background. This arrangement hasn’t really raised questions because, even as the scope of maritime security has broadened markedly, the traditional military-centric lens on territorial defense remains intact. In contrast, the space domain has always been more closely tied to science. As such, it makes sense to think that the RTAF, while central, may not exert the same level of dominance in the up-and-coming Air and Space Interests Coordination Center as the RTN does with the Thai-MECC. The RTAF stands as the least conservative branch of Thailand’s military, as reflected in its relative openness to commanders with international qualifications and its ahead-of-the-curve publication of a comprehensive white paper. Both the RTN and the Army have shown a strict preference for domestically educated commanders , and it was only in the past two years that they began publishing their white papers. The restructuring initiatives currently underway are yet another demonstration of the RTAF’s commitment to staying at the forefront of Thailand’s military modernization.USC QB Miller Moss Enters Transfer Portal After Losing Starting Job to Jayden Maiava

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Arkansas defensive end Landon Jackson was carted off the field and taken to a hospital with a neck injury late in the first half of Saturday's game at No. 24 Missouri. Jackson appeared to injure his neck while trying to tackle Missouri running back Jamal Roberts. Medical personnel tended to Jackson for approximately 10 minutes before he was placed on a backboard and driven to a waiting ambulance. Jackson gave a thumbs-up sign as he was carted off the snow-covered field. Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek said Jackson had movement in his arms and legs but was experiencing pain in his neck. He said Jackson was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Jackson leads the Razorbacks with 9 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks, and is considered a potential first-round pick in next year's NFL draft.
