الأهلي يستعيد الثلاثي في مباراة الزمالك.. مفاجأة بن شرقي ومعلول
OTTAWA — It's deadline day for candidates to pay up so they can stay in the running to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader — and the field appears to be set.
The final $125,000 instalment of a total $350,000 entrance fee is due by the end of the day — a high bar of entry for such a short race.
The campaigns for Chrystia Freeland, Frank Baylis and Karina Gould all confirm they have already made their final payment.
Ruby Dhalla tweeted Sunday evening that she has delivered her last payment to the party.
Mark Carney's campaign meanwhile says he will pay the last instalment to the party today.
The candidates are scheduled to square off in two debates early next week in Montreal, one in English and one in French.
There are just three weeks left in the race before the party selects its next leader on March 9.
Carney's leadership campaign says he's raised more than $1.9 million in donations from over 11,000 people.
Some of the other campaigns would not speak to how much they have raised so far.
But Elections Canada is expected to soon reveal the first batch of fundraising numbers from all the leadership hopefuls.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 17, 2025.

Belgium Records Highest Asylum Application Rate in the EU
Israa Farhan Belgium is projected to face the highest relative pressure from asylum applications across the European Union in 2025, according to new estimates from Eurostat, the EU's official statistics agency. The country is expected to receive approximately 294 asylum seekers per 100,000 inhabitants, a rate 67% higher than the EU average of 176 per 100,000. This figure places Belgium at the top of the EU in terms of asylum applications relative to its population, highlighting growing challenges in the country's migration and asylum infrastructure. The Eurostat data also reveals stark contrasts between EU member states. While Belgium's projected figure stands at 294 applications per 100,000 people, Poland is expected to register just 46, Denmark 32, and Hungary only 1 application per 100,000. Neighboring countries are forecast to face significantly lower asylum pressures. The Netherlands is projected to receive 117 applications per 100,000 people, Germany 169, and France, though relatively high, remains below Belgium with an estimated 230 per 100,000. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

NASA to Lay Off 20% of Workforce
Israa Farhan The United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced that about 20% of its workforce will be leaving the agency as part of a major internal restructuring aimed at improving operational efficiency. A NASA spokesperson confirmed on Saturday that around 3,870 employees are expected to depart under the new strategy. The exact number may fluctuate over the coming days and weeks, depending on further internal assessments and implementation steps. Following the restructuring, NASA's total workforce is projected to stand at approximately 14,000 employees. The move comes as the agency seeks to streamline its operations amid evolving priorities in space exploration, technological innovation, and budgetary constraints. While the reduction marks one of the most significant workforce changes in recent years, NASA has reassured the public that its core missions, including lunar and Mars exploration programs, remain on track. The agency has not yet clarified which departments will be most affected by the layoffs, but further details are expected to emerge as the restructuring plan progresses. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Egypt Backs Saudi French Initiative for International Conference on Palestine
H-Tayea Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has officially announced Egypt's support for the joint French-Saudi initiative to hold a high-level international conference focused on achieving a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian cause. The conference is scheduled to take place in New York on July 28 and 29, 2025, under the auspices of the United Nations. During a phone call on Saturday with French President Emmanuel Macron, President Sisi expressed Egypt's strong backing of the upcoming initiative and welcomed France's recent announcement regarding its intention to formally recognize the State of Palestine during the high-level segment of the UN General Assembly in September. Sisi praised the decision, describing it as a step aligned with France's longstanding efforts to implement the two-state solution, which Egypt also views as the only viable path to ensuring peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis, and securing lasting peace and stability in the region. Presidential spokesperson Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy said the leaders also discussed Egypt's intensive mediation efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, as well as facilitate the exchange of hostages and detainees, and to ensure the adequate delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip. President Macron reiterated France's full support for Egypt's diplomatic efforts and affirmed the need for a comprehensive and just resolution to the Palestinian issue based on international law and UN resolutions. The France-Saudi Arabia conference, to be held later this month, aims to revive momentum toward a two-state solution and promote broader international recognition of Palestinian statehood. France has stated its intent to gather international partners around the initiative to build consensus for concrete action. President Macron confirmed in a recent letter to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine during the UN General Assembly in September 2025, and that it will mobilize international partners to support the Saudi-French roadmap. The Israeli government swiftly condemned the French announcement, calling it a reward for terrorism and a disgrace to France's record, in reference to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
