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.

CIA recovered 9 UFOs from crash sites globally? Here's what media report say

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;

PM Narendra Modi meets Israeli President at COP 28, calls for early resolution to Palestine conflict

PM Modi called for an early and durable resolution to the Palestine conflict during his meeting with Israel's president on the sidelines of the COP28 summit.&nbsp;

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday met Israeli President Isaac Herzog and underscored India&rsquo;s support for an early and durable resolution of the Israel-Palestine issue through dialogue and diplomacy.
Modi met Herzog on the sidelines of the COP28 World Climate Action Summit in the UAE.
The Prime Minister expressed his condolences on the loss of lives in the October 7 terror attacks and welcomed the release of hostages, External Affairs Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said on X.
On October 7, Israel was stormed by Hamas militants in a deadly assault that launched the war.
Modi and Herzog exchanged views on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in the region.
&ldquo;The Prime Minister reiterated the need for continued and safe delivery of humanitarian aid for the affected population,&rdquo; Bagchi said.
Modi emphasised India&rsquo;s support for a two-state solution and early and durable resolution of the Israel-Palestine issue through dialogue and diplomacy.
"..at the COP28 conference, I met dozens of leaders from around the world. I spoke with them about how Hamas blatantly violates the ceasefire agreements and repeated again and again the demand to place the release of the hostages at the very top of the international community&rsquo;s agenda, alongside respect for the right of the State of Israel to defend itself," Herzog said.&nbsp;

Gaza&rsquo;s Hamas-controlled health ministry reported that 32 people have been killed in Israeli air strikes that began soon after the seven-day truce expired.

32 Palestinians killed as Israel resumes airstrikes in Gaza: Hamas

Gaza’s Hamas-controlled health ministry reported that 32 people have been killed in Israeli air strikes that began soon after the seven-day truce expired.

Gaza&rsquo;s Hamas-controlled health ministry reported that 32 people have been killed in Israeli air strikes that began soon after the seven-day truce expired.

Israeli fighter jets hit targets in the Gaza Strip minutes after a weeklong truce expired on Friday, as the war with Hamas resumed in full force.
Black smoke billowed from the besieged territory and Israel dropped leaflets over parts of southern Gaza urging people to leave their homes, suggesting it was preparing to widen its offensive.
Renewed hostilities heightened concerns for the about 140 hostages who remain in Gaza, after more than 100 were freed as part of the truce.
The collapse of the cease-fire came a day after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Israeli officials and urged them to do more to protect Palestinian civilians as they seek to destroy Hamas. Blinken was on his way Friday to the COP28 climate talks in Dubai, where he was to meet with Arab and other leaders.
It was not clear to what extent Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will heed the appeals of the United States, Israel's most important ally. Netanyahu's office said Friday that Israel &ldquo;is committed to achieving the goals of the war: Releasing the hostages, eliminating Hamas and ensuring that Gaza never again constitutes a threat to the residents of Israel&rdquo;.
In the leaflets it dropped in southern Gaza, Israel urged people to leave homes east of the city of Khan Younis. The leaflets also warned that Khan Younis was now a &ldquo;dangerous battle zone&rdquo;.
Hundreds of thousands of people fled northern Gaza earlier in the war, with many taking shelter in Khan Younis and other places in the south.
One of the first airstrikes Friday destroyed a large building in Khan Younis. Moments later, residents were seen frantically searching the rubble for survivors as medics approached. One wounded person was carried away on a stretcher.
In Hamad City, a Qatari-funded housing development near the city, a strike hit an apartment in a multi-story residential building, while other parts of the building appeared largely intact. In the refugee camp of Maghazi, rescuers clawed through the rubble of a large building hit by warplanes. A foot stuck out of the tangle of concrete and wiring.
Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesperson for the Health Ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza, said 14 people had been killed and dozens wounded in the first hours of Israeli attacks after the truce ended.
Israel has said it is targeting Hamas operatives and blames civilian casualties on Hamas, accusing the militants of operating in residential neighbourhoods. Since the war erupted Oct 7, in response to a deadly Hamas attack on southern Israel, many of those killed in Israeli bombardments have been women and children.
In Israel, sirens warning of incoming rockets blared at several communal farms near Gaza, a sign that Hamas also resumed attacks, but there were not reports of hits or damage.
Netanyahu said the war resumed because Hamas had violated the terms of the truce. &ldquo;It has not met its obligation to release all of the women hostages today and has launched rockets at Israeli citizens,&rdquo; he said in a statement.
The Israeli military's announcement of the resumption of strikes came only 30 minutes after the cease-fire expired at 7 am (0500 GMT) Friday. Earlier Friday, Israel accused Hamas of having violated the terms of the cease-fire, including by firing rockets toward Israel from Gaza.
The halt in fighting began Nov 24. It initially lasted for four days, and then was extended for several days with the help of Qatar and fellow mediator Egypt.
During the week-long truce, Hamas and other militants in Gaza released more than 100 hostages, most of them Israelis, in return for 240 Palestinians freed from prisons in Israel.
Virtually all of those freed were women and children, but the fact that few such hostages remained in Gaza made it hard to reach a deal to extend the cease-fire.
Hamas, a militant group that has ruled Gaza for 16 years, had been expected to set a higher price for the remaining hostages, especially Israeli soldiers.
It was not immediately clear whether negotiators were continuing efforts for another temporary ceasefire. Qatar and Egypt, which have played a key role as mediators had sought to prolong the truce by another two days.
On Thursday, Blinken met with Netanyahu and other top officials on his third visit to the region since the start of the war two months ago.
While expressing hope at the time that the cease-fire could be extended, Blinken said that if Israel resumed the war and moved against southern Gaza to pursue Hamas, it must do so in &ldquo;compliance with international humanitarian law&rdquo; and must have &ldquo;a clear plan in place&rdquo; to protect civilians.
He said Israeli leaders understood that "the massive levels of civilian life and displacement scale we saw in the north must not be repeated in the south&rdquo;.
Most of Gaza's population is now crammed into the south with no exit, raising questions over how an Israeli offensive there can avoid heavy civilian casualties.
Netanyahu has been under intense pressure from families of the hostages to bring them home. But his far-right governing partners have also pushed him to continue the war until Hamas is destroyed, and could abandon his coalition if he is seen as making too many concessions.
A total of 83 Israelis, including dual nationals, were freed during the truce, most of whom appeared physically well but shaken. Another 24 hostages &mdash; 23 Thais and one Filipino &mdash; were also released, including several men.
It's not clear how many of the remaining women hostages are soldiers.
Israel has said around 125 men are still being held hostage.
Before the cease-fire, Hamas released four hostages, and the Israeli army rescued one. Two others were found dead in Gaza.
The 240 Palestinians released so far under the cease-fire were mostly teenagers accused of throwing stones and firebombs during confrontations with Israeli forces. Several of the freed women were convicted by military courts of attempting to attack soldiers, some of them after being found carrying scissors or knives near security positions.
Hamas started the war with a deadly Oct 7 attack on Israel, during which it and other Palestinian militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took around 240 people captive. Authorities have only provided approximate figures.
Since then, Israel's bombardment and invasion in Gaza have killed more than 13,300 Palestinians, roughly two-thirds of them women and minors, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. More than three-quarters of the population of 2.3 million have been uprooted, after weeks of Israeli bombardment and a ground campaign, leading to a humanitarian crisis.
The toll is likely much higher, as officials have only sporadically updated the count since Nov 11. The ministry says thousands more people are feared dead under the rubble.
Israel says 77 of its soldiers have been killed in the ground offensive. It claims to have killed thousands of militants, without providing evidence.
Palestinians in Gaza have called for a permanent end to the war, saying the temporary truces don't resolve the humanitarian catastrophe in the territory. Over 1.8 million people have fled their homes, with more than 1 million sheltering in UN schools and struggling to find basic items including cooking gas and flour.

On Wednesday, the Dubai-bound flight - RA 299 was scheduled to take off at 11.30 pm but the national flag carrier flew at 9.30 pm from due to the flight&rsquo;s VVIP status.
Prime Minister Prachanda was on the same flight and he was leaving for Dubai with a delegation to the 28th Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 28). The flight had to leave early," said the airlines Later in a notice, the Airlines apologised for the inconvenience caused to the passengers.
There were 274 passengers on the list and of them 31 could not catch up the airplane which was rescheduled two hours late.
The airline said it had issued a notice regarding the new schedule through mobile phones and emails but 31 passengers did not respond.
The left-out passengers were put up in a hotel by the airlines and arrangement was made for their flight the next day, according to the airlines sources. Ramesh Paudel, Spokesperson of Nepal Airlines, however, claimed that he had informed each and every passenger through email and phone a week ahead about the new flight schedule.
He insisted that there was no negligence on their part and that the Dubai flight schedule was revised on November 23.
&ldquo;Due to the VVIP flights, the decision was not made public. We, however, informed each and everyone through email and phones on November 24,&rdquo; he said.

The Russian High Court outlawed the LGBTQ+ movement in the country, In its ruling the court stated the 'movement' extreme and banned it in the country

Russia's fresh 'authoritarian' diktat, top court bans LGBTQ movement

The Russian High Court outlawed the LGBTQ+ movement in the country, In its ruling the court called the 'movement' extremist and banned it in the country.

&nbsp;Russia's Supreme Court on Thursday effectively outlawed LGBTQ+ activism, in the most drastic step against advocates of gay, lesbian and transgender rights in the increasingly conservative country.
In a statement announcing a lawsuit filed to the court earlier this month, the Justice Ministry argued that authorities had identified &ldquo;signs and manifestations of an extremist nature&rdquo; by an LGBTQ+ &ldquo;movement&rdquo; operating in Russia, including &ldquo;incitement of social and religious discord,&rdquo; although it offered no details or evidence. In its ruling, the court declared the &ldquo;movement&rdquo; to be extremist and banned it in Russia.
The hearing took place behind closed doors and with no defendant. Multiple rights activists have pointed out that the lawsuit targeted the &ldquo;international civic LGBT movement,&rdquo; which is not an entity but rather a broad and vague definition that would allow Russian authorities to crack down on any individuals or groups deemed to be part of the &ldquo;movement.&rdquo; &ldquo;Despite the fact that the Justice Ministry demands to label a nonexistent organization -- the international civic LGBT movement' -- extremist, in practice it could happen that the Russian authorities, with this court ruling at hand, will enforce it against LGBTQ+ initiatives that work in Russia, considering them a part of this civic movement,&rdquo; Max Olenichev, human rights lawyer who works with the Russian LGBTQ+ community, told The Associated Press ahead of the hearing.
Some LGBTQ+ activists have said they sought to become a party to the lawsuit, arguing that it concerns their rights, but were rejected by the court. The Justice Ministry has not responded to a request for comment on the lawsuit.&nbsp;

The truce between Israel and Hamas has expired and the two sides have reported resumption of hostilities. Israel claimed that it intercepted a rocket from Gaza.

Intercepted rocket from Gaza, claims Israel as 7-day truce expires

The truce between Israel and Hamas has expired and the two sides have reported resumption of hostilities. Israel claimed that it intercepted a rocket from Gaza.

The seven-day temporary truce in the Israel-Hamas has expired. There was no word from mediator Qatar on an extension. Israel has claimed that just before the truce ended, it intercepted a rocket fired from Gaza.
The Israeli military said sirens warning of rockets were sounded again in areas near Gaza.
There was no immediate comment from Hamas or claim of responsibility for the launches.
On the other hand, Hamas-affiliated media reported sounds of explosions and gunfire in the north of the Palestinian enclave.
During the truce, more than 100 hostages were released from Gaza in exchange for 240 Palestinians freed from Israeli prisons.

Eight more Israeli hostages have been released from Hamas captivity in the Gaza strip as part of a temporary cease-fire deal that has lasted for seven days.

Israel-Hamas truce: 8 Israelis freed in exchange for 30 Palestinians

Eight more Israeli hostages have been released from Hamas captivity in the Gaza strip as part of a temporary cease-fire deal that has lasted for seven days.

Eight Israeli hostages were released from Hamas captivity in the Gaza strip on Thursday as part of a temporary cease-fire deal that has lasted for seven days, the Israeli military said.
Israel freed 30 Palestinian prisoners in the early hours of Friday under the truce deal, which has paused the deadliest fighting in decades between Israel and Palestinians.
International pressure has mounted for the truce to be upheld as long as possible after weeks of Israeli bombardment and ground campaign following Hamas' deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel that triggered the war.
Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel, and more than three-quarters of the population of 2.3 million have been uprooted, leading to a humanitarian crisis.
Israel has vowed to resume the fighting &mdash; with the goal of dismantling Hamas &mdash; once the cease-fire ends.
In what has become a daily ritual, Hamas also released a video showing the hostages being turned over to the Red Cross by militants. In one scene, masked gunmen escorted two hostages to waiting vehicles as crowds of onlookers shouted and whistled at them.
A busload of 30 Palestinian prisoners released by Israel has been welcomed home in the West Bank.
The bus arrived early Friday in the city of Ramallah, hours after Hamas militants released eight Israeli hostages after eight weeks of captivity in the Gaza Strip.
Dozens of men, some holding green Hamas flags, greeted the prisoners. The men were hugged and the crowd chanted, &ldquo;God is great.&rdquo; The exchanges have been taking place each night since last Friday as part of a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas.
The cease-fire is set to expire Friday, but international mediators are working to extend it by at least another day. Israel has vowed to resume its offensive against Hamas in Gaza once the truce ends.

‘Children with wounds, burns’: Gaza nurse reveals gruesome details of relief camps

A nurse who returned from Gaza revealed graphic details about the situation in the relief camps.

A nurse described the harrowing situation in Gaza relief camps. She said children were walking around with burns, open wounds and even partially amputated limbs. The nurse, now back in the US, said she had to send back the parents of these children as medical supplies dried up.
The nurse said over 50,000 people were cramped up at a camp with only four toilets and four hours of running water.
Emily Callahan, who works with Doctors Without Borders, spent 26 days in war-torn Gaza. &ldquo;Me being safe is the result of having to leave people behind,&rdquo; she said upon her arrival in the US.
When asked if she would return to Gaza, she did not hesitate once. &ldquo;In a heartbeat. My heart is in Gaza, it will stay in Gaza,&rdquo; Callahan told CNN in an interview.
&ldquo;This is our community, our family, these are our friends. If they're going to kill us, we're going to die saving as many people as we can,&rdquo; she said in the interview.

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."
