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."

Bhupender Yadav exclusive| India's expectations from COP28 climate summit 

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

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 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. 

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.

Nepal Airlines plane left behind 31 passengers on Thursday after Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal "Prachanda" boarded the plane.  The Prime Minister was reportedly on his way to Dubai for the COP28 summit.

Russian President Vladimir Putin might have cancer, and would possibly undergo surgery soon. This would leave him incapacitated, and Putin will choose a temporary successor. This is what a report in the American publication New York Post has claimed.
The report cited claims made on a Telegram channel purportedly managed by a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service officer.
Putin has been told by doctors that he needs to undergo an operation. Taking into account the recovery time, Putin might be incapacitated "for a short time", as per the report.
During this time, Nikolai Patrushev, national security council secretary, might run the government in Putin's stead.
The Russian President's health has been in news ever since the Ukraine war began in February. Analysts have claimed Putin has appeared unwell and fidgety in recent times. There have also been claims that Putin might be suffering from Parkinson's disease.

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

Passenger bus attacked in Gilgit Baltistan; 8 dead, 26  injured

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.

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.

Macron warns Israel that if its aim is to destroy Hamas, 'war will last 10 years'

In a first, French President Macron has warned Isreal that it must identify its short-term goals in its war against Hamas. Macron said that we are at a moment where Israeli authorities need to define their ultimate goals more precisely.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday warned Israel that if its aim was the total destruction of Hamas, "the war will last 10 years".
Speaking at the COP28 climate change summit in Dubai, he urged Israel to d "more precisely define its objectives".
Macron also noted that he was heading to Qatar at the close of the climate summit to thank the emir for work accomplished to free hostages during the seven-day truce.

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.
