Beyonce-Adele rematch set to dominate 2023 Grammys

Two people died in an explosion in Przewodow, a village in eastern Poland near the border with Ukraine, firefighters said on Tuesday.

The Associated Press cited a senior US intelligence official as saying the blast was due to Russian missiles crossing into Poland.

"Firefighters are on the spot, it's not clear what has happened," said Lukasz Kucy, an officer on duty at a nearby firefighters' post.

Polish Radio ZET reported earlier that two stray missiles hit Przewodow on Tuesday, killing two people, without giving any more details.&nbsp;

Poland's President Andrzej Duda said that there was no conclusive evidence as to who fired the missile and that investigations were underway. He further said that the NATO allies are on standby&nbsp;

“The North Atlantic Alliance is on standby,” Duda said. “We have strengthened the readiness of the Polish armed forces, including the air defence. Our planes will be supported by allied planes. We act calmly and prudently.”

Russia has, however, dismissed the claims terming it a “deliberate provocation.”&nbsp;&nbsp;In a statement on Telegram, defence minister Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu&nbsp;was quoted as saying, “Statements by Polish media and officials about Russian missiles hitting Polish territory are a deliberate provocation aimed at escalating the situation.”

The Pentagon said on Tuesday it could not confirm reports that Russian missiles have crossed into Poland near the Ukraine border.

"We are aware of the press reports alleging that two Russian missiles have struck a location inside Poland near the Ukraine border. I can tell you that we don't have any information at this time to corroborate those reports and are looking into this further," Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder told a news briefing.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden, who is in Bali for the G20 meet, convened an "emergency meeting of the&nbsp;Group of Seven (G7) and NATO leaders in Indonesia on Wednesday morning for consultations.&nbsp;

According to the White House, Biden had a telephone conversation with President Duda and&nbsp;“expressed deep condolences for the loss of life in eastern Poland". He also offered Poland “full US support for and assistance" with the investigation. He also said that it was "unlikely" that the missiles that killed two were fired from Russia.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has called an urgent meeting of a government committee for national security and defence affairs, the government spokesman said on Twitter.

Two killed in Poland after missile strikes; Kremlin denies its role, Biden concurs

On Tuesday, the United States imposed penalties on companies it claimed were engaged in the development of Iranian drones or their transfer to Russia for use in attacks against civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.&nbsp;

In a statement, the US Treasury Department said that it had imposed sanctions on the Shahed Aviation Industries Research Center, accusing it of having designed and manufactured the Shahed-series drones that have been employed by Russian forces in Ukraine.&nbsp;

Drones that Russia acquired from Iran were used to strike Ukrainian cities and power facilities. Due to Tehran's nuclear development programme, the United States has already imposed severe sanctions on Iranian military groups and enterprises.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated in the statement, "As we have demonstrated repeatedly, the United States is determined to sanction people and companies, no matter where they are located, that support Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine."&nbsp;&nbsp;

She used the acronym for the unmanned aerial vehicle to say that "today's action exposes and holds accountable companies and individuals that have enabled Russia's use of Iranian-built UAVs to brutalise Ukrainian civilians."&nbsp;

A veteran&nbsp;female executive who complained&nbsp;about a hostile work environment for women in the most senior positions of Goldman Sachs was supposedly compensated more than $12 million, as reported by Bloomberg.

David Solomon, CEO of the storied Wall Street investment firm, was charged in the court case, which Bloomberg has seen, with boasting about having oral sex.&nbsp;

A settlement with the former business partner was reached two years ago, and the finance company allegedly fought to conceal the specifics of the dispute from becoming public knowledge.&nbsp;

According to her, senior executives at Goldman Sachs allegedly spoke crude and derogatory things about women.

The charges that Solomon made his purported boast shortly after he assumed control of the business in 2018 are included in the lawsuit.&nbsp;

At least three executives are said to have overheard Solomon's alleged statement at the time, according to the report, which alleges that the investment bank promoted a sexist culture.&nbsp;

As per Bloomberg, the fact that Solomon, 60, made such an uncharacteristic comment is what made it stand out. The allegations have been vigorously refuted by the bank.

The corporation allegedly allowed senior personnel to make obscene and vulgar remarks, according to the report, and Goldman agreed to pay the female employee "well over" $12 million.&nbsp;

It's possible that the claimed secret settlement, which was delivered two years ago, is the biggest payment of its kind to date.&nbsp;

According to Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs was keen to reach a settlement since the bank is working to increase diversity among the top ranks.

Following a positive COVID-19 test that caused him to cancel talks at the G20 Summit in Indonesia and leave early, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed concern for the health of other world leaders on Tuesday.&nbsp;

Hun Sen, the current ASEAN chairman, claimed that his symptoms were minimal but he was concerned because many of the G20 participants had attended the ASEAN and East Asia Summits he hosted in Cambodia, which finished on Sunday.&nbsp;

He posted an audio message on his Facebook page saying, "This is my biggest concern. The president of Indonesia who&nbsp;is the next rotating chair of ASEAN was always with me."

"Besides him, there are some other leaders who were close with me, shook hands and travelled together, including the US president, who sat together at dinner and travelled together," he added.

It was unclear right away if any of the G20 summit's leaders had COVID-19 positive tests.&nbsp;

Indonesia, which is hosting the summit, has put in place stringent COVID-19 standards, such as mask requirements, body temperature checks, antigen testing, and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) swab tests, to reduce the danger of virus spread.

According to the White House, US President Joe Biden, who undergoes routine COVID-19 testing, received a negative result on Tuesday morning.&nbsp;

At the UN climate negotiations on Tuesday, rich&nbsp;polluters were chastised by developing nations for failing to do enough to assist them in coping with global warming. The EU, however, promised to accelerate its emission reductions.&nbsp;

Calls for wealthier nations to fulfil commitments to finance the green transitions of poorer countries that are least responsible for global emissions, support their development of resilience, and compensate them for losses related to climate change have dominated the COP27 meeting in Egypt.&nbsp;

Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, the COP27 president, said technical roadblocks were impeding progress toward higher-level political conversations on a variety of subjects during a meeting to wrap off Tuesday's negotiations.

Addressing the delegates, he said, "Progress has been made, but there is unquestionably more to be done if we are to reach the robust objectives that will drive ambitious, inclusive climate action."

The gathering takes place at a time when CO2 emissions are projected to reach a record high globally this year, making the aspirational target of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius from preindustrial levels much more improbable.&nbsp;

According to Vice President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans, the European Union will surpass its initial goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.&nbsp;

According to him, the 27-nation bloc would now be able to reduce those emissions by 57% from 1990 levels. He cited agreements on the phase-out of fossil fuel-powered cars and the preservation of forests that serve as "carbon sinks".

EU vows to speed emissions reductions pressed by climate-vulnerable nations

Elon Musk worked through the night and slept at Tesla Inc.'s facilities in California and Nevada in 2018, as the business struggled to boost Model 3 production.&nbsp;

Musk declared on Monday that he had spent the entire night working at the San Francisco headquarters of Twitter and that he would continue "working &amp; sleeping here" until the social media platform, which he recently paid $44 billion for, was fixed.&nbsp;

Being a self-described "nanomanager," Musk's propensity for staying up late to solve problems is well-known. Some Tesla investors are concerned about the billionaire's ability to concentrate on his work as CEO of the most valuable automaker in the world as a result of his deep dive into Twitter, which came after a drawn-out buyout that he attempted to scrap.

The managing partner of venture capital company Loup Ventures, Gene Munster, predicted that Tesla investors would be dissatisfied. "He's probably going to spend more time on Twitter than any Tesla investor feels comfortable about," one Tesla investor said.&nbsp;

Musk did not respond to a request for comment from Reuters through email. Musk is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday regarding the justification of Tesla's $56 billion pay deal.&nbsp;

He said in a tweet on Monday that he had Tesla covered and that he will be working there for a portion of this week. Tesla has a plant in Fremont, California, and an office in Palo Alto, California.

Since he revealed he had acquired a Twitter stake in early April, shares of Tesla had fallen nearly 50 per cent. The pressure has increased as a result of sales of Musk's own Tesla shares, which have already reached $20 billion since he announced his Twitter investment.&nbsp;

Tesla is facing an increasing number of difficulties, including issues with demand in China and a regulatory investigation into the promises it makes about the capabilities of its "Autopilot" driver assistance system in the US.&nbsp;

According to a Reuters calculation, Musk has posted on the platform he bought in October more than two-thirds of the time this month in tweets about his efforts to revive Twitter.

Musk's all-nighters at Twitter 'frustrating' Tesla investors

Changpeng Zhao, the chief executive of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, announced on Sunday that the company no longer accepts deposits of FTX's FTT token on its platform and urged other competing exchanges to follow suit.&nbsp;

The crypto exchange FTX, which declared bankruptcy on Friday, stated it had discovered the unauthorised access on Saturday. Analysts also claimed that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets had been removed from the network under "suspicious circumstances."&nbsp;

"(Binance) has stopped FTT deposits, to prevent the potential of questionable additional supplies affecting the market. We will monitor the situation," said CEO Zhao in a&nbsp;tweet.

CEO tweeted, "FTT contract deployers moved all remaining FTT supply worth $400 million, which should be unlocked in batches. Not too sure what's going on."

In one of the most high-profile cryptocurrency meltdowns, FTX filed for bankruptcy on Friday after traders rushed to remove $6 billion off the platform in only 72 hours and rival exchange Binance abandoned a planned rescue package.

Changpeng Zhao, the chief executive of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, announced on Sunday that the company no longer accepts deposits of FTX's FTT token on its platform and urged other competing exchanges to follow suit.

Changpeng Zhao, the chief executive of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, announced on Sunday that the company no longer accepts deposits of FTX's FTT token on its platform and urged other competing exchanges to follow suit. The crypto exchange FTX, which declared bankruptcy on Friday, stated it had discovered the unauthorised access on Saturday. Analysts also claimed that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets had been removed from the network under "suspicious circumstances." "(Binance) has stopped FTT deposits, to prevent the potential of questionable additional supplies affecting the market. We will monitor the situation," said CEO Zhao in a tweet. CEO tweeted, "FTT contract deployers moved all remaining FTT supply worth $400 million, which should be unlocked in batches. Not too sure what's going on." In one of the most high-profile cryptocurrency meltdowns, FTX filed for bankruptcy on Friday after traders rushed to remove $6 billion off the platform in only 72 hours and rival exchange Binance abandoned a planned rescue package. John J. Ray III, the chief executive of FTX, stated on Saturday that the business was collaborating with law enforcement and authorities to address the issue and was "making every effort to secure all assets, wherever located."

Binance halts FTX's FTT token deposits, urges other crypto exchanges to follow

On the eve of his face-to-face meeting with President Xi Jinping, US&nbsp;President Joe Biden met with the leaders of Japan and South Korea on Sunday to discuss managing China's assertive posture in the Pacific.&nbsp;They also discussed how to respond to North Korea's threatening nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.&nbsp;

US, Japan, South&nbsp;Korea vowed 'strong and resolute' riposte to any Pyongyang nuclear test, reported AFP.

Before the three of them sat down together on the margins of the East Asia Summit in Cambodia, Biden had separate meetings with the leaders of Japan&nbsp;Fumio Kishida and South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol.&nbsp;

Biden began by expressing sympathy for a crowd surge that occurred during Halloween celebrations in Seoul and killed more than 150 people, stating that the United States had grieved alongside South Korea.

"We face real challenges, but our countries are more aligned than ever,” Biden said.

Yoon and Kishida talked about North Korea's continuous aggression, including the launch of numerous missiles in recent weeks.&nbsp;

The intercontinental ballistic missile launch, which occurred 10 days ago and led to evacuation alerts in northern Japan, comes as the allies issue a dire threat that the isolated nation will perform its seventh nuclear test in the coming weeks.&nbsp;

Biden wants to utilise the discussions to improve the three nations' coordinated response to the threats posed by North Korea, according to US&nbsp;National Security adviser Jake Sullivan.

In the midst of widespread demonstrations following the death&nbsp;of Mahsa Amini, local media stated that Iran's judiciary had accused more than 750 individuals in three provinces for taking part in "recent riots".&nbsp;

Since the protests started in mid-September, more than 2,000 people have already been accused, with about half of them in Tehran, according to judicial data.&nbsp;

The disturbances, which the authorities have referred to as "riots," have resulted in the deaths of dozens of individuals, most of whom were protesters but also included security officers.&nbsp;

As many as 164 persons have been charged after the recent riots,&nbsp;said Mojtaba Ghahremani, head of the court for the southern province of Hormozgan, the judiciary's Mizan Online news website reported on Sunday.

According to the website, they are accused of “incitement to killing, harming security forces,&nbsp;propaganda against the regime,&nbsp;and damaging public property,” among other charges. Their trials will start from Thursday in the presence of their lawyers,&nbsp;the website added.&nbsp;

According to Abdol-Mehdi Mousavi, the judiciary's chief, 276 additional persons have been charged in the Markazi province in the centre of the country, according to state news agency IRNA.&nbsp;

However, 100 young people were freed after promising to refrain from taking part in any more "riots," according to IRNA.

Asadollah Jafari, the head of the judiciary in the central province of Isfahan, reported that 316 cases had been brought in connection with the current unrest.&nbsp;

He was quoted as stating late Saturday by the Tasnim news agency as claiming that twelve had already been tried.&nbsp;

Days after being detained by the morality police for allegedly violating the country's stringent clothing codes for women, Amini passed away on September 16.&nbsp;

Authorities have refuted accusations made by international rights organisations that 15,000 people had been jailed as a result of the protests.

Iran accuses more than 750 people of ‘incitement to killing’ in ‘recent riots’

In an effort to secure a deal with France to combat people smuggling, the UK government claimed Sunday that more than 40,000 migrants have already crossed the Channel to Britain this year, setting a new record.&nbsp;

The Ministry of Defence reported that the preliminary figure for this year is 40,885, significantly higher than the 28,561 from the previous year and made up primarily of Albanians, Iranians, and Afghans.&nbsp;

According to the report, 972 people were seen on Saturday attempting the dangerous passage in 22 boats.&nbsp;

For years, the numbers have been increasing. According to the UK, 299 were found crossing in 2018, 1,843 in 2019, and 8,466 in 2020.

Despite several UK measures, such as a scheme to relocate the migrants to Rwanda that was thwarted in court, the numbers have kept rising.&nbsp;

After his first in-person meeting with President Emmanuel Macron last week, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that a new strategy reached with France was in the works.&nbsp;

In their discussions on Friday, James Cleverly, the foreign minister of the United Kingdom, and Catherine Colonna, the foreign minister of France, "stressed the urgency of tackling all forms of illegal migration, including small boat crossings and addressing their root causes."&nbsp;

Rising numbers have slowed the processing of asylum requests and driven up housing expenses, which the UK government estimates to be £6.8 million ($7.8 million) every day. This has put a burden on local services and fuelled public resentment.

Record 40,000 migrants crossed English Channel this year: UK

Most households in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson are still without electricity and water as utility companies struggle to repair crucial infrastructure damaged and mined by the retreating Russian forces, regional officials said on Sunday.&nbsp;Yaroslav Yanushevych, the governor of Kherson area, announced that as a security precaution, the government had chosen to impose a curfew from 5 pm to 8 am and prohibit anybody from leaving or entering the city.&nbsp;

The enemy mined every piece of vital infrastructure, Yanushevych said on Ukrainian television.&nbsp;

He added that he hoped mobile phone companies will soon be able to restart their service, saying, "We are trying to meet within a few days and (then) open the city."

After Russia abandoned the sole provincial capital it had taken over since it&nbsp;started its invasion in February, Ukrainian troops moved into the centre of Kherson on Friday.&nbsp;

The retreat was the third significant Russian pullback in the conflict and the first to involve giving up such a sizable occupied city in the face of a significant Ukrainian counteroffensive that has retaken areas of the east and south.&nbsp;

Train service to Kherson is anticipated to resume this week, according to the head of Ukrainian state railways.&nbsp;

Despite mine-clearing efforts and attempts to restore essential services, a different regional official claimed that the situation in the city "remains very difficult" from a humanitarian standpoint.

The first deputy head of the Kherson regional council, Yuriy Sobolevskiy, told Ukrainian TV that "most houses have no electricity, no water and problems with gas supplies."&nbsp;

In a video speech on Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that "the occupants damaged all the key infrastructure before retreating from Kherson: communications, water, heat, and electricity."&nbsp;

Residents of Kherson greeted Ukrainian troops with joy as they arrived, but the general command of Ukraine stated that severe fighting continued along the eastern front in the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces.
