A major part of Puerto Rico was left without power or proper drinking water in the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona. The hurricane, that struck the island on Sunday, caused a lot of damage to the infrastructure as major roads were left submerged and a number of bridges collapsed. While the storm did lose its intensity over time, the people in the emergency shelters all around Puerto Rico are still reeling from the impact.

According to AFP, around 800,000 homes in Puerto Rico have no access to clean drinking way after the filtration system in the island was severely impacted by the blackout. Some are still operational because of their use of solar generators but the number is not enough for the population.

There were also reports of patients suffering in hospitals due to the lack of power as the authorities confirmed the death of a man in a hospital in Arecibo. As a precaution, critically ill patients were mostly shifted from the main cancer hospital in San Juan after a reported generator failure.

As of Monday, the officials confirmed that only 10 per cent of households were able to get their electricity back after the storm as displeasure grew towards Luma – the main electricity provider.

The Guardian reported that Fiona is the first major hurricane of this year but the infrastructure in Puerto Rico seemed extremely underprepared to deal with the catastrophe. United States President Joe Biden declared it a federal emergency, but the arrival of resources will be a time-taking affair.

The move to rebrand Facebook into Meta and the focus on Metaverse has not worked out well for Mark Zuckerberg in the short run as his net worth dropped by a massive $71 billion in 2022, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. As a result, he dropped to his lowest spot in the list since 2014 as he is currently ranked 20th among all the global billionaires, according to Bloomberg.

In 2020, the Meta CEO had a net worth of around $106 billion with just Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Microsoft founder Bill Gates ahead of him. With Facebook shares racing up to $382, Zuckerberg hit his peak in September 2021 when he had a net worth of around $142 billion.

However, with the rebranding of his company and subsequent losses, his net worth has now fallen to $55.9 billion. In February 2022 alone, the Meta CEO lost $31 billion due to his company.

While the focus still remains on the Metaverse and its multiple applications, the reports showed that Facebook had no growth in monthly users prompting a steady fall in share prices.

The topography of Mars has been a subject of interest for researchers over the years and they have now found a new process to understand how the surface of the planet has changed over time due to the impact of space rocks. According to a new line of studies, the scientists are using shock waves created on impact to find the exact position and depth of the craters on the surface of Mars.

“This is the first time we have felt and heard an impact on another planet,” said Raphael Garcia, a planetary seismologist at the Higher Institute of Aeronautics and Space at the University of Toulouse.

The data used in this method was taken from NASA’s InSight lander which provided an insight into seismic activities on Mars between May 2020 and September 2021. It took into account small space rocks as well as meteoroids which came in contact with the surface of the red planet.

The study, which was published in Nature Geoscience, succeeded in mapping the surface of Mars up to a certain extent and also helped in understanding the crust of the planet. In an atmosphere where impact craters are extremely common, the study showed the impact they had on changing the landscape of Mars and over time, how it has slowly impacted the composition of the surface.

“If people want to know if a surface is older or younger, it is critical to know the impact rate, but we are not there yet,” said Garcia when asked about the exact accuracy of the study.

Former US president Donald Trump took a dig at Joe Biden after his successor to the White House was seated in the 14th row during the funeral service of Queen Elizabeth II at the Windsor Castle on Monday. Trump took to his social media to mock Biden for his seat and said&nbsp;“location is everything”.

“This is what’s happened to America in just two short years. No respect! However, a good time for our President to get to know the leaders of certain Third World countries,” he wrote on Truth Social.

“In Real Estate, like in Politics and in Life, LOCATION IS EVERYTHING,” said Trump, who made his money in real estate.

Trump did not receive an invitation for the service in London, but the British government has invited him for the memorial event which will be held at the National Cathedral in Washington DC.

The Telegraph explained that Biden's seating arrangement was actually dictated by the fact that leaders from Commonwealth countries get preference over those from the rest of the world. As a result, Biden was seated seven rows behind Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“Our hearts go out to the royal family, King Charles and all of the family. It’s a loss that leaves a giant hole and sometimes you think you’ll never overcome it,” Biden said on Saturday. “So to all the people of England, all the people of the United Kingdom, our hearts go out to you. You were fortunate to have had her for 70 years,” he added. “We all were. The world’s better for her.”

The funeral service saw around 500 foreign dignitaries attending the event and it included leaders from all major countries – From the king of Spain to the Presidents of France and New Zealand.

The death of a 22-year-old woman Mahsa Amini, who was reportedly arrested and beaten up by the police in Iran for not following the hijab rules, sparked a number of protests all around the country. In western Iran, the women took off their hijabs as a mark of protest and held rallies on the streets. &nbsp;

According to The Guardian, Amini was travelling to Tehran from the province of Kurdistan with her family when she was detained by the police. The 22-year-old was charged with violating the strict dressing codes that the country has implemented and taken away in a police van.&nbsp;

27 dead in China after bus taking people to COVID-19 quarantine facility crashes

The border conflict between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan has officially claimed around 100 lives, according to authorities on both sides. The two Central Asian countries were engaged in intense fighting between September 14 to 16 as both accused each other of attacking their outposts near the border.&nbsp;

However, a ceasefire was finally reached after two days of fighting with Russia calling for de-escalation in the region. While it has been comparatively peaceful over the last two days, tensions remain between the two neighbouring countries who also clashed last year in April resulting in around 50 deaths.&nbsp;

The conflict dates back to the time when both countries were part of the Soviet Union and a haphazard division of the region resulted in a number of multi-ethnic groups. Over time, that has resulted in a common mistrust regarding the shared border and clashes have become the norm.&nbsp;

In an official statement, Kyrgyzstan said that they have lost 13 more people in fighting – taking the total death tally to 46. In addition, they also said that 102 people were injured and under observation.&nbsp;

Tajikistan also reported 35 more casualties in the ongoing conflict, according to state media.&nbsp;

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with both countries’ leaders. &nbsp;

"Vladimir Putin urged the sides to prevent further escalation and to take measures to resolve the situation exclusively by peaceful, political and diplomatic means as soon as possible, and confirmed Russia's readiness to provide the necessary assistance to ensure stability in the Kyrgyz-Tajik border region." Kremlin said in a statement.&nbsp;

Death toll in border conflict between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan nears 100

The arrival of eight cheetahs in Gwalior, India on September 17 was a huge moment for a country where the animal was declared extinct back in 1952 due to loss of habitat and hunting. The cheetahs travelled from Namibia in a specially painted aircraft with a tiger’s face on it and the special Boeing 747 jet quickly became a sensation on social media. However, contrary to popular sentiment and some media reports, it was not painted for the occasion.&nbsp;

According to Newschecker, the plane was actually painted back in 2015 by Russian airline Transaero. The image on the plane was that of a Siberian Tiger and the purpose behind the painting was to increase awareness about the animals. The report further stated that the painting was a collaboration between the airlines and Amur Tiger Centre - an initiative signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.&nbsp;

The first appearance of the flight with the tiger painting on its nose came in June 2015 at the Moscow Vnukovo airport. However, as Transaero went bankrupt, the plane was sent to storage in Spain before it was purchased by Sharjah-based Aquiline International in 2021 and leased it to Terra Avia of Moldova.&nbsp;

As a result, it was either pure coincidence or a planned strategy to use the specific flight for the transfer of cheetahs to India but the reports that it was specially painted for the occasion were&nbsp;not true.&nbsp;

The other possible explanation, according to Newschecker, was that the cheetahs needed to be transported in a jumbo-sized passenger plane and this was one of the few available for that purpose.&nbsp;

The aircraft was arranged by Dubai-based Action Aviation for the project.&nbsp;

India: Plane with image of tiger not designed specifically for cheetah transfer project

The entry of Chinese drones into Taiwanese airspace has become quite a common phenomenon in the last few months. However, not all of them belong to the military&nbsp;as the Chinese social media is filled with videos of civilians flying their drones near the Kinmen Islands and it has led to a situation that experts are calling “deniable harassment”. While Taiwan has decided to take a stricter approach towards the incursions, China continues to call it "no big deal" reinforcing the claim on the island nation.&nbsp;

Paul Huang, a research fellow at the Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation – a government think tank in China, told CNN that he believes most drones are actually controlled by civilians. &nbsp;

"Flying that close to a Taiwanese military guard post and catching their attention ...That's not really the way any military would deploy or utilize their drones. And frankly, I don't see any good reason that the (People's Liberation Army) would even attempt something like that," Huang said.&nbsp;

The tensions between the two countries flared once again when United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan and said that the United States will help them. Since then, the military drills have increased and Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen called&nbsp;the drones China’s "gray-zone" warfare tactics.

However, the increase in civilian drones has made life difficult for the Taiwanese forces. The common design of drones may it difficult to understand whether they are being controlled by actual civilians or the military. As a result, they have to use a lot of resources to track and shoot down most of them.&nbsp;

On the other hand, the experts in Taiwan believe that this is just another tactic from China to continuously bother the forces near the border and claim victory in a so-called "propaganda war".&nbsp;
