Earthquake of magnitude 7.5 strikes Philippines, tsunami warning issued

After the powerful under-sea quake, the Philpines government has issued an alert stating that high waves could hit three other neighbouring countries.&nbsp;

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 struck Saturday off the cost of the southern Philippines island of Mindanao. A tsunami warning was issued.
The quake struck at 10:37 p.m. and was measured at a moderate depth of 32 kilometers (20 miles).
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said based on the magnitude and location it expected tsunami waves to hit the southern Philippines and parts of Indonesia, Palau and Malaysia.
A Philippine government agency advised the residents of Surigao Del Sur and Davao Oriental provinces on the eastern shores of Mindanao to immediately evacuate to higher grounds or move inland.

Snowstorm brings Munich airport to a standstill and causes travel chaos in Germany

Travel chaos in Germany, snowstorm stops flight and train operations

Snowstorm brings Munich airport to a standstill and causes travel chaos in Germany

All flights were grounded at Munich's airport Saturday after a winter storm dumped snow across southern Germany and parts of Austria and Switzerland, affecting travel across the region.
After initially announcing a halt in air traffic until noon on Saturday, the airport later announced flights would be canceled until 6 a.m. local time Sunday.
Other airports in the region, including in the Swiss financial capital, Zurich, also announced weather-related delays and cancellations.
Trains to and from Munich&rsquo;s central station were also halted, Germany&rsquo;s national railway said, advising passengers to delay or reroute their journeys.
The news agency dpa reported that some passengers in Munich and the nearby city of Ulm spent Friday night on trains due to the halt.
Officials for Germany&rsquo;s Bundesliga also announced that a soccer match between Bayern Munich and Union Berlin, originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Munich, was canceled.
The weather has caused accidents and incidents across the region.
Police in Lower Bavaria, the region northwest of Munich, said they responded to 350 incidents related to snow and ice between Friday night and early Saturday, some of which led to minor to moderate injuries.
In Austria and Switzerland, the new snowfall led officials to raise the alarm about the danger of avalanches.
The provinces of Tyrol and Vorarlberg in western Austria raised their avalanche warnings to the second-highest level after the region received up to 50 centimeters (20 inches) of snow overnight.

New Zealand: three Khalistani supporters sentenced for attempted murder of Sikh radio host

Sukhpreet Singh was found guilty of being an accessory, Sarvjeet Sidhu pleaded guilty to attempted murder. Third accused has been given one of the longest possible prison sentences for the crime, as per reports.

In a case of religious fanaticism, three Indian-origin men in New Zealand have been sentenced for the attempted murder of a popular Auckland-based Sikh radio host who was vocal against the ideology of Khalistan.
The attack occurred on December 23, 2020, when Harnek Singh was ambushed by a group of religious extremists in his driveway. He suffered over 40 stab wounds and required more than 350 stitches and multiple surgeries to recover, the Australia Today website reported.
Sukhpreet Singh, 44-year-old, was found guilty of being an accessory, and Sarvjeet Sidhu, 27-year-old, pleaded guilty to attempted murder.
The third man, a 48-year-old Auckland resident, has been given one of the longest possible prison sentences for the crime, the New Zealand Herald newspaper reported.
During a hearing on November 28, a judge noted that community protection and a strong message of deterrence were both necessary for the highly unusual case, it reported.
The third defendant, who continues to have interim name suppression, was not present when the attack occurred. The court was told that he harboured a years-long resentment against Harnek as he was vocal against Khalistan, Australia Today reported.
He planned the &ldquo;hit&rdquo; and used his charismatic influence over others to recruit henchmen to do his bidding, the judge said.
&ldquo;It bears all the hallmarks of religious fanaticism,&rdquo; Woolford said of the motivation for the attack. &ldquo;Violence of this kind is committed to what is perceived as the furtherance of the greater good..." &ldquo;Sentencing in this context requires a different approach. The emphasis must be placed on protecting the community from further violence and it is essential to send a strong message of deterrence to others.&rdquo; A sentence of 13-and-a-half years was imposed, with a minimum period of imprisonment of nine years before he can begin applying for parole, the Herald reported.
The maximum sentence for attempted murder is 14 years. The only reason the defendant did not receive the full maximum sentence was that he deserved a six-month credit for the time he spent on electronically monitored bail while awaiting his lengthy trial in September and October, the judge said.
Harnek did not attend the hearing but wrote a victim impact statement that was read aloud by prosecutors.

&ldquo;My family faces fear each day when the sun goes down,&rdquo; he said.
Addressing the defendants directly, he said: &ldquo;You came to kill me. ...You tried to silence me. You wanted to send a chilling message to all those who express their disagreement with your unorthodox religious views. But you failed. ...I will continue to express my opinions and beliefs as I always have."

Loss and Damage Fund, climate finance and issues related to nationally determined contributions to reduce emissions will be the focus areas of discussions that India would be taking up during the COP28, Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav said.&nbsp;

UN climate change conference, COP28 kicked off in Dubai earlier this week.
Global leaders from 150 countries are present at the summit where they are expected to take stock of progress on the Paris Agreement, the landmark climate treaty concluded in 2015 and chart a course of action to dramatically reduce emissions and protect lives and livelihoods.&nbsp;
Just ahead of COP28, India&rsquo;s Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav spoke exclusively to editorji's Vikram Chandra on what will be India's expectations from the climate conference.&nbsp;

South Korea launches first spy satellite days after North Korea does the same

Seoul's reconnaissance satellite, carried by one of Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets, lifted off from the Vandenberg US Space Force Base in California days after North Korea placed its first&nbsp; spy satellite in orbit last month.

A SpaceX rocket on Friday launched South Korea's first military spy satellite, intensifying a space race on the peninsula after Pyongyang launched its own first military eye in the sky last week.
Seoul's reconnaissance satellite, carried by one of Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets, lifted off from the Vandenberg US Space Force Base in California at 10:19 am local time (GMT 1819 GMT).
The rocket was emblazoned with the word "KOREA."
The Yonhap news agency reported that the satellite reached orbit soon after and that communication was successfully established with ground control.
Citing South Korea's defense ministry, Yonhap reported that "the satellite was placed in orbit approximately four minutes after launch at 10:19 am, and succeeded in communicating with a ground station at 11:37 am, which means it is operating normally."
Reaching orbit would mean that South Korea has acquired its first domestically built spy satellite to monitor nuclear-armed North Korea.
Seoul plans to launch four additional spy satellites by the end of 2025 to bolster its reconnaissance capacity over the North.
Set to orbit between 400 and 600 kilometers (250 to 370 miles) above Earth, Seoul's satellite is capable of detecting an object as small as 30 centimeters (11.8 inches), according to Yonhap.
"Considering resolution and its capacity for Earth observation... our satellite technology ranks in the top five globally," the defense ministry official said, as quoted by Yonhap.
The launch comes less than two weeks after Pyongyang had successfully put its own spy satellite into orbit.
"Until now, South Korea has relied heavily on US-run spy satellites" when it comes to monitoring the North, Choi Gi-il, professor of military studies at Sangji University, told AFP.
While the South has "succeeded in the launch of a military communications satellite, it has taken much longer for a reconnaissance satellite due to higher technological hurdles," he said.
Following the North's successful launch of its own spy satellite, Choi said, "the South Korean government needs to demonstrate it can also pull this off."
Experts have said putting a working reconnaissance satellite into orbit would improve North Korea's intelligence-gathering capabilities, particularly over South Korea, and provide crucial data in any military conflict.
Since last week's launch, the North has claimed its new eye in the sky has already provided images of major US and South Korean military sites -- as well as photos of the Italian capital Rome.
It has not yet disclosed any of the satellite imagery it claims to possess.
The North's launch of "Malligyong-1" was Pyongyang's third attempt at putting such a satellite in orbit, after two failures in May and August.
Seoul has said the North received technical help from Moscow, in return for supplying weapons for use in Russia's war with Ukraine.

A report by Dail Mail claims that the CIA is in possession of at least 9 crashed UFOs

The Daily Mail in an 'exclusive' report has claimed that a secret unit of America's Central Intelligence Agency has retrieved 9 unidentified flying objects or UFOs from crash sites across the world. The report said that CIA's Office of Global Access collected the 'non-human craft' in top secret operations.&nbsp;
Daily Mail said that the report was based on the accounts of several insiders.&nbsp;
The article said that the UFOs were damaged in crash but at least two of them are intact.&nbsp;
Daily Mail said that the OGA is responsible for the secrecy of the retrieval operation which is carried out by the US military. It added that the agency works with special operations forces like SEAL for the mission.&nbsp;
In July this year, former US intelligence officer David Grusch publicly claimed that he had given the US Congress proof that the government is in possession of alien bodies.&nbsp;

A German woman was fired by Apple for allegedly posting anti-Semitic content on social media.

Apple fires German woman for calling Zionists murderers and thieves: report

A German woman was fired by Apple for allegedly posting anti-semitic content on social media.

A German woman was fired by Apple for allegedly posting anti-Semitic content on social media.

Tech major Apple has reportedly fired a German woman for posting anti-Semitic content on social media.
The woman, Natasha Dach, said she was a proud German and called Zionists murderers, thieves and terrorists.
In a social media post, she said that Zionists sneak into countries, steal people's lives, jobs, homes and bully them and that they have been doing this for generations.
An organisation called StopAntisemitism reported the post, which was later deleted.

In the backdrop of the US accusing an Indian citizen of working on a plot to kill a Sikh separatist, reportedly Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, S Jaishankar met an American NSA official for the first time  

Amid Nikhil Gupta indictment, S Jaishankar meets US Principal Deputy NSA

US Principal Deputy NSA meets External Affairs Minister Jaishankar

In the backdrop of the US accusing an Indian citizen of working on a plot to kill a Sikh separatist, reportedly Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, S Jaishankar met an American NSA official for the first time.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday met US Principal Deputy NSA Jon Finer and discussed various bilateral and global issues, in the first publicly announced meeting with an American security official after the US's charges relating to a thwarted plot to kill a Sikh separatist on its soil.
The meeting between Jaishankar and Finer here came days after American prosecutors linked an Indian official to a man charged with conspiring to assassinate Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
It is understood that the issue figured in the meeting though there is no official confirmation of it.
"Good to meet Principal Deputy NSA of the US Jon Finer this afternoon. Useful exchange of views on the global situation. Discussed taking our bilateral cooperation forward," Jaishankar said on 'X'.
India on November 30 described as a "matter of concern" the US linking the Indian official to a man charged with conspiring to kill Pannun, and asserted that follow up action will be taken based on findings of an inquiry panel investigating the allegations.
India has already constituted a probe team to investigate allegations relating to the foiled plot.
On November 29, US federal prosecutors charged Nikhil Gupta, 52, of working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill Pannun. The US prosecutors informed a Manhattan court that authorities in the Czech Republic arrested and detained Gupta.
Pannun, a leader of the so-called 'Sikhs for Justice', is wanted by Indian probe agencies on various terror charges.
The Financial Times, citing unnamed sources, first reported last month that US authorities foiled a plot to assassinate Pannun, and issued a warning to the Indian government over concerns it was involved in the plot.
The Washington Post on November 29 said the Biden administration was so concerned after discovering the plot that it sent CIA Director William J Burns and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to India in August and October respectively to demand investigation and hold those responsible to account.
Last week, the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken welcomed as "good and appropriate" India's decision to announce a high-level probe into the allegations.
"The government (of India) announced today that it was conducting an investigation, and that's good and appropriate, and we look forward to seeing the results," he told reporters in Tel Aviv

At least 11 hikers were killed after a massive volcano erupted in Indonesia. Hot ash clouds spread several kilometres blanketing villages and nearby towns by tons of volcanic debris.

Massive volcano erupts in Indonesia; 11 hikers dead, search on for 22 others

At least 11 hikers were killed after a massive volcano erupted in Indonesia. Hot ash clouds spread several kilometres blanketing villages and nearby towns by tons of volcanic debris.

The bodies of 11 climbers were recovered Monday after a furious eruption of the Mount Marapi volcano as Indonesian rescuers searched for at least 22 others reportedly missing.
Mount Marapi in Agam district in West Sumatra province spewed thick columns of ash as high as 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) into the sky in a sudden eruption Sunday and hot ash clouds spread several miles (kilometers). Villages and nearby towns were blanketed by tons of volcanic debris.
About 75 climbers started their way up the nearly 2,900-meter (9,480-foot) mountain on Saturday and became stranded.
Eight of those rescued Sunday were rushed to hospitals with burn wounds and one also had a broken limb, said Hari Agustian, an official at the local Search and Rescue Agency in Padang, the provincial capital.
West Sumatra's Search and Rescue Agency head Abdul Malik said rescuers on Monday morning found 11 bodies of climbers as they searched for those who still missing and rescued three others.
&ldquo;The evacuation process of the bodies and survivors are still ongoing,&rdquo; he said, adding that rescuers are still searching for 22 climbers reportedly still missing.

The Israeli military has said it has expanded its ground operations to every part of Gaza and ordered more evacuations in the crowded south.

Southern Gaza will be hit as hard as the north: Israel

The Israeli military has said it has expanded its ground operations to every part of Gaza and ordered more evacuations in the crowded south.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it had expanded its ground operations to every part of Gaza and ordered more evacuations in the crowded south, followed by heavy bombardment, as it vowed that operations there against Hamas would be &ldquo;no less strength&rdquo; than its earlier offensive in the north.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip said they were running out of places to go in the sealed-off territory that borders Israel and Egypt. Many of its 2.3 million people are crammed into the south after Israel ordered civilians to leave the north in the early days of the war, which was sparked by the October 7 attack by Hamas and other militants that killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in southern Israel.
The United Nations estimates that 1.8 million Gazans have been displaced. Juliette Toma, director of communications at the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, said nearly 958,000 of them were in 99 UN facilities in the south.
Heavy bombardment was reported around Gaza's second-largest city of Khan Younis in the south and the nearby city of Rafah. UN human rights chief Volker T&uuml;rk urged an end to the war, saying civilian suffering was &ldquo;too much to bear&rdquo;.
The Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said the death toll there since October 7 has surpassed 15,500. The ministry does not differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths, but said 70 per cent of the dead were women and children. It said more than 41,000 people had been wounded.
A Health Ministry spokesman asserted that hundreds of people had been killed or wounded since the cease-fire ended. &ldquo;The majority of victims are still under the rubble,&rdquo; Ashraf al-Qidra said.
Meanwhile, fears of a wider conflict intensified. A US warship and multiple commercial ships came under attack Sunday in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed attacks on two ships they described as being linked to Israel but did not acknowledge targeting a US Navy vessel.
Hopes for another temporary truce in Gaza were fading. A weeklong cease-fire that expired on Friday facilitated the release of dozens of the roughly 240 Gaza-held Israeli and foreign hostages in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. But Israel has called its negotiators home, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the war will continue until &ldquo;all its goals&rdquo; are achieved. One is to remove Hamas from power in Gaza.
Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said resuming talks with Israel on further exchanges must be tied to a permanent cease-fire.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told NBC's &ldquo;Meet the Press&rdquo; that the US is working "really hard&rdquo; for a resumption of negotiations.
Israel's military widened evacuation orders in and around Khan Younis, telling residents of at least five more areas to leave. Residents said the military dropped leaflets ordering them to move south to the border city of Rafah or to a coastal area in the southwest. &ldquo;Khan Younis city is a dangerous combat zone,&rdquo; the leaflets read.
But Halima Abdel-Rahman, a widow and mother of four, said she won't heed such orders anymore. She fled her home in October to an area outside Khan Younis, where she stays with relatives.
&ldquo;The occupation tells you to go to this area, then they bomb it,&rdquo; she said by phone. "The reality is that no place is safe in Gaza. They kill people in the north. They kill people in the south.&rdquo; The United States, Israel's closest ally, has urged Israel to avoid significant new mass displacement and do more to protect civilians. US Vice President Kamala Harris also told Egypt's president that &ldquo;under no circumstances&rdquo; would the US permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, an ongoing siege of Gaza or the redrawing of its borders.
On the ground in Gaza, there was frustration and mourning. Outside a Gaza City hospital, a dust-covered boy named Saaed Khalid Shehta dropped to his knees beside the bloodied body of his little brother Mohammad, one of several bodies laid out after people said their street was hit by airstrikes. He kissed him.
&ldquo;You bury me with him!&rdquo; the boy cried. A health worker at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital said more than 15 children were killed.
Israel's military said its fighter jets and helicopters struck targets in the Gaza Strip including &ldquo;tunnel shafts, command centres and weapons storage facilities", while a drone killed five Hamas fighters. Military officials acknowledged &rdquo;extensive aerial attacks in the Khan Younis area".
The bodies of 31 people killed in Israeli bombardment of central Gaza were taken to the Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah, said Omar al-Darawi, a hospital administrative employee. One woman wept, cradling a child's body on her lap. Another carried the body of a baby. Later, hospital workers reported 11 more dead after another airstrike. The bloodied survivors included a child carried in on a mattress.
Outside a morgue in Khan Younis, resident Samy al-Najeila carried the body of a child. He said his sons had been preparing to evacuate their home, &ldquo;but the occupation didn't give us any time. The three-floor building was destroyed completely, the whole block was totally destroyed&rdquo;. He said six of the bodies were his relatives.
&ldquo;Five people are still under the rubble,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;God help us.&rdquo; During a short trip to the United Arab Emirates as the top American representative at the UN climate conference, Harris said: "Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Frankly, the scale of civilian suffering and the images and videos coming from Gaza are devastating.&rdquo; Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Netanyahu, said Israel was making &ldquo;maximum effort&rdquo; to protect civilians. In addition to the leaflets, the military has used phone calls and radio and TV broadcasts to urge Gazans to move from specific areas.
Israel says it targets Hamas operatives and blames civilian casualties on the militants, accusing them of operating in residential neighbourhoods. It claims to have killed thousands of militants, without providing evidence. Israel says at least 78 of its soldiers have been killed in the offensive in northern Gaza.
The renewed hostilities have heightened concerns for the 137 hostages who the Israeli military believes are still being held by Hamas. During the recent truce, 105 hostages were freed, and Israel released 240 Palestinian prisoners. Most of those released by both sides were women and children.
The families of hostages have called for an urgent meeting with Israel's Security Cabinet, saying time is &ldquo;running out to save those still held by Hamas&rdquo;.
Elsewhere in the region, Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group said it struck Israeli positions near the tense Lebanon-Israel border. Eleven people &mdash; eight soldiers and three civilians &mdash; were wounded by Hezbollah fire in the area of Beit Hillel, army radio reported. The military said its artillery struck sources of fire from Lebanon. It also said its fighter jets struck other Hezbollah targets.
And Iraqi militants with the Iran-backed umbrella group the Islamic Resistance in Iraq said they struck the Kharab al-Jir US military base in Syria with rockets. A US military official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said rockets hit Rumalyn Landing Zone in Syria but there were no reports of casualties or damage.

The attack potentially marked a major escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war.

Warships, commercial vessels attacked in Red Sea on Sunday: Pentagon

The attack potentially marked a major escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war.

An American warship and multiple commercial ships came under attack on Sunday in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said, potentially marking a major escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
&ldquo;We're aware of reports regarding attacks on the USS Carney and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and will provide information as it becomes available,&rdquo; the Pentagon said.
The Carney is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.
The British military earlier said there had been a suspected drone attack and explosions in the Red Sea, without elaborating.
The Pentagon did not identify where it believed the fire came from. However, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have been launching a series of attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, as well as launching drones and missiles targeting Israel as it wages war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said the attack began about 10 a.m. in Sanaa, Yemen, and had gone on for as much as five hours. Another US official who similarly spoke on condition of anonymity for the same reason said the Carney had intercepted at least one drone during the attack.
There was no immediate comment from the Houthis. However, a Houthi military spokesman earlier said an &ldquo;important&rdquo; statement would be released shortly.
Global shipping had increasingly been targeted as the Israel-Hamas war threatens to become a wider regional conflict &mdash; even as a truce briefly halted fighting and Hamas exchanged hostages for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
However, the collapse of the truce and the resumption of punishing Israeli airstrikes and its ground offensive there had raised the risk of the seaborne attacks resuming.
Earlier in November, the Houthis seized a vehicle transport ship also linked to Israel in the Red Sea off Yemen. The rebels still hold the vessel near the port city of Hodeida. Missiles also landed near another US warship last week after it assisted a vessel linked to Israel that had briefly been seized by gunmen.
However, the Houthis had not directly targeted the Americans for some time, further raising the stakes in the growing maritime conflict. In 2016, the US launched Tomahawk cruise missiles that destroyed three coastal radar sites in Houthi-controlled territory to retaliate for missiles being fired at US Navy ships at the time.

A bus traveling from Gilgit to Rawalpindi was attacked on December 2 in which 8 people were killed and 26 injured. As per reports, many injured were in critical condition which may lead to an increase in the death toll

At least eight people were killed and 26 others injured when terrorists opened fire on a passenger bus in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's Gilgit Baltistan region on Saturday, police said.
The bus was travelling from Gilgit to Rawalpindi when terrorists opened indiscriminate fire at around 6:30 p.m. in Chilas, an official said.
The driver lost control after the attack and the bus collided with a truck coming from the opposite side, the official said.
Deputy Commissioner Chilas Arif Ahmed said five of the eight people killed in the attack were identified so far.
He said 26 others were injured and shifted to a nearby hospital.
Two army soldiers, who were in the bus, were also among the dead and one personnel of the Special Protection Unit was injured in the attack, the Deputy Commissioner said.
He said most of the people belonged to Kohistan, Peshawar, Ghizer, Chilas, Roundu, Skardu, Mansehra, and Swabi regions and one or two people were from Sindh.
The assailants managed to escape from the scene after the attack.
It said the condition of several persons is critical and that the death toll is expected to rise further.
The police said an investigation has been launched into the attack and a search operation is on to apprehend the terrorists.
Nobody has so far taken responsibility for the attack but the region has a history of terror attacks by militants.
Gunmen stormed a camping site of climbers in Gilgit Baltistan in 2013 and killed nine foreigners.
