Good evening peeps😊

Been a while😩🤧🥲

Good evening guy

1️⃣ *Christians across the world are celebrating Christmas* , with the mood darkened by wars and a massive "inhumane" Christmas morning attack on Ukraine by Russia as well as a plane crash in Kazakhstan. 🎄 With the war in Gaza also showing no signs of ending, *Pope Francis was also expected to call for peace in the Middle East* during his traditional _"Urbi et Orbi"_ (to the city and the world) speech at midday in Rome. 🇻🇦 *Francis used his Christmas Eve mass at the Vatican* to urge Christians to think of "the wars, of the machine-gunned children, of the bombs on schools or hospitals" after another year of raging conflicts.

*Taiwanese lawmakers tackled and doused each other with water* as President Lai Ching-te's party tried to block the passage of bills *they say could harm the self-ruled island's _"democratic system"._* 🇹🇼 Scores of *lawmakers from Lai's Democratic Progressive Party had occupied the podium* of the parliament's main chamber since Thursday night and barricaded themselves inside -- piling up chairs to block entrances. The *DPP parliamentarians were attempting to stop three legal amendments* proposed by the opposition bloc, which would make it more difficult for voters to oust elected officials who they see as unfit. *_"Parliamentary dictatorship,"_ some DPP lawmakers shouted* to criticise the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party and its ally Taiwan People's Party (TPP) *for trying to pass the bills with their majority.*

Good evening everyone @danloader
