Lebanon's parliament speaker confirmed Thursday that an agreement has been reached on a framework of indirect talks between Lebanon and Israel over a longstanding disputed maritime border between the two countries.
Israel announced the talks last week, saying Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz will lead the Israeli delegation.
Thursday's declaration by Speaker Nabih Berri is the first confirmation by Lebanon that the negotiations will take place.
Israel and Lebanon have no diplomatic relations and are technically in a state of war.
They each claim about 860 square kilometres (330 square miles) of the Mediterranean Sea as within their own exclusive economic zones.
Berri said the U.S.-mediated talks will be held at the headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping force in the southern border town of Naqoura under the banner of the United Nations. He did not give a start date for the talks.
The United States has been mediating between Lebanon and Israel since 2010 until a breakthrough was reached in July on the framework for the indirect talks, Berri said.
The agreement on the framework comes as Lebanon is going through its worst economic and financial crisis in decades.
Beirut is hoping that oil and natural gas discoveries in its territorial waters will help it pay back its massive debt.
Lebanon began offshore drilling earlier this year and is expected to start drilling for gas in the disputed area with Israel before in the coming months.

Hong Kong police arrested dozens of people on China&rsquo;s National Day holiday on Thursday after crowds gathered on the streets of a busy shopping district chanting pro-democracy slogans.

A police statement said that at least 86 people were arrested by around 10pm local time (1400GMT) on suspicion of unauthorized assembly.

After the chaotic first US presidential debate, incumbent president&nbsp;Donald Trump and his&nbsp;challenger Democratic nominee Joe Biden,&nbsp;both seem to be claiming victory in round 1.
Trump on Wednesday said that he exposed Biden's&nbsp;'very dangerous agenda;, adding that Biden&nbsp;is too weak to lead the country.
On the other hand,&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;who was clearly exasperated with Trump's interruptions&nbsp;during the debate said that the&nbsp;Trump tenure has been a complete failure.
According to a CNN poll, 6 in 10 debate watchers said former Vice President Joe Biden did a better job in Tuesday's debate, and only 28% say Trump won.

For the straight fifth month in August, Europe's&nbsp;unemployment&nbsp;rate has increased, raising concerns among the citizens about the extensive government support programs. The official statistics revealed that the jobless rate rose from 7,.9% in July to 8.1% in 19 countries in August. While the European&nbsp;countries still struggle to cope with the rising number of fresh Covid-19&nbsp;infections,&nbsp;economists expect a further rise in unemployment rate as the&nbsp;wage support program expires. With 3.7 million people still on furlough, Germany is one of the few European countries that has&nbsp;extended its emergency support program until the end of 2021&nbsp; &nbsp;

The European Union on Thursday took legal action against Britain over its plan to pass legislation that would breach parts of the Brexit&nbsp;divorce treaty. Britain which was a part of the EU until Jan 31 is now pushing its plan to act outside international law by implementing the UK internal market bill. While the EU had demanded the UK to withdraw the bill by Wednesday, instead, the bill got passed in the House of Commons on Tuesday. If the contentious bill becomes a law, it will disregard part of the Brexit&nbsp;withdrawal treaty that deals&nbsp;with trading&nbsp;to and from North Ireland.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny alleged that Vladimir Putin was behind the poison plot which almost killed him on August 20th. While speaking to German magazine Der Spiegel, Navalny for the first time has directly named Putin. The 44 year old Kremlin critic described the moment that the nerve agent Novichok began to take effect, saying that though there was no pain but he felt like he was dying. Navalny was released from a German hospital last week after 32 days of treatment.&nbsp; Germany along with other European countries demanded an explanation from the Kremlin, which has denied any involvement in the incident.

James Comey, former FBI Director has said that Donald Trump's inability to condemn white supremacist groups is like "spraying gasoline with a fire hose".
Comey was responding to questions before a Senate judiciary committee,&nbsp;on&nbsp;how Trump's statements affect the FBI's ability to fight threats from far-right groups.
The US has witnessed continued countrywide protests under the Black Lives Matter&nbsp;banner over the last 4 months, many of which turned violent.

Facebook on Wednesday banned ads on its website and Instagram that claim widespread voting fraud, or suggest US election results would be invalid, or which attack any method of voting. The social media giant announced the new rules in a blog post, adding to earlier restrictions on premature claims of election victory. The move came a day after US President Donald Trump used the first televised debate with Democratic challenger Joe Biden to amplify his claims that the Nov. 3 presidential election will be 'rigged'. Trump has been especially critical of mail-in ballots, and he cited a number of small unrelated incidents to argue that fraud was already happening at scale. Facebook has also been under fire for refusing to fact-check political ads more broadly and for rampant organic misinformation.

After failing&nbsp;to condemn white supremacist groups and their role in violence in some American cities during&nbsp;the first Presidential Debate, Donald&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;has now denied&nbsp;knowledge of the group, 'Proud Boys'.
"I don&rsquo;t know who the Proud Boys are but&nbsp;whoever they are they need to stand down," said the US President.
Members of the far-right organisation Proud Boys, meanwhile posted triumphant messages on their social media handles after&nbsp;Trump appeared to endorse their activities.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

The acrimonious first presidential debate between incumbent President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden was chaotic to say the least.
But Biden sliding a smooth &lsquo;inshallah&rsquo; as a retort to Trump showing his tax returns in the future touched a whole new chord with netizens.
After Trump answered that he paid &lsquo;millions of dollars&rsquo; in federal income and will release his tax returns, Biden&nbsp;said &lsquo;when? Inshallah&rsquo; using the phrase in its colloquial context meaning &lsquo;never&rsquo;.
Twitter was abuzz immediately over the usage of the phrase and Biden's&nbsp;subtle&nbsp;delivery. An explosive New York Times report showed that Trump paid merely $750&nbsp;in federal income taxes in 2016-17. The POTUS however maintains that he paid millions of dollars.

Angelica Gaitan&nbsp;went missing 2 years ago and early morning on Saturday&nbsp;she was found floating in the sea, alive. The 46-year-old Colombian woman&nbsp;was found by fisherman Rolando Visbal and his friend around 2kms away from the shore of&nbsp;Puerto Colombia. Video shared by Visbal&nbsp;shows him and his friend pulling Gaitan&nbsp;to safety of their boat. Reports say she was exhausted and suffering from hypothermia after staying afloat for more than eight hours.
But this is where the fairy tale ends. After Angelica Gaitan&nbsp;was treated at the hospital she revealed that she had suffered domestic abuse at the hands of her husband for 20 years and in 2018 she finally decided to run away when her husband tried to kill her.&nbsp;
Angelica tried to jump into the sea and end her life after she turned out of the rescue centre. According to reports, her daughter has been tracked down and is now raising money to bring Angelica back to Colombia.&nbsp;

In an interview on New York Times, the business&nbsp;tycoon said that he will not get himself vaccinated because he and his kids are not at risk of&nbsp;Covid-19. Criticising&nbsp;the US government for imposing a countrywide lockdown, Musk said that instead of a lockdown, the one who is at risk should have been quarantined until the storm passes. The billionaire went on to call the virus dumb and the fear around it a mind-killer. He said that the pandemic has questioned his faith in humanity as people have become irrational.&nbsp;

A Pakistani man accused in a double stabbing outside the former Charlie Hebdo&nbsp;office in Paris has been handed preliminary terrorism charges. France's&nbsp;counter-terrorism&nbsp;prosecutor's office on Wednesday said Zaher&nbsp;Hassan&nbsp;Mahmood&nbsp;told investigators that he acted out of anger over the weekly newspaper which recently republished the controversial Prophet Muhammad caricature.
