06.12.2024 โ‡ข The Day Storm Met Syria's Fall
โŒจThe morning began with nationwide train disruptions across the UK, causing widespread commuter chaos. By midday, attention shifted to Storm Darragh as the Met Office issued rare red "danger to life" warnings for 90mph winds, leading to emergency phone alerts by evening.

Syria dominated international coverage as rebels advanced on Homs after capturing Hama and Aleppo, with Russia advising its citizens to evacuate. The situation evolved from initial reports of thousands fleeing to confirmation of rebels reaching the city's outskirts by evening.

The Princess of Wales's Westminster Abbey carol service provided the evening's cultural focus, with coverage noting her reference to her "unexpected year." Meanwhile, MI5's chief warned that focus on Russia was diverting resources from counterterrorism, marking a significant shift in security priorities.

South Korea's political crisis continued in background coverage, with President Yoon avoiding parliament following the previous day's martial law attempt.
