Egypt inaugurates newly restored Ottoman mosque at Cairo citadel

<p>In the aftermath of a devasting earthquake earlier this month, electricians have been working for long hours&nbsp;to restore power near the Moroccan village of Al Makhzen on Saturday (September 16), the news agency Reuters reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the 6.8 magnitude earthquake, the entire village was destroyed, and a majority of buildings were made of mud bricks. The town turned into mounds of dirt, burying everyone within and wrecking businesses in a region that relied on the tourist route.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report mentioned that those people who were displaced are now living in makeshift camps, and they claim that a shortage of electricity has delayed assistance delivery because the dangerous valley roads become completely dark at night.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by Reuters, a civilian, Ibrahim Ifkharen, said: "Regarding (public) lighting, it was brought three or four days ago, but it was just for the village because we live far away in tents, and we use torches. We hope we will have power. We also need more tents."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mohamed Idbousaboun, an electrician, said: "I came from Imegdare village to help the technicians, because they don't know where to go. They came from Asfi to help our people from the Asnid agency, who are helping restore (the power) for El Mekhzen village. We want to just help them, so they get the public lighting back, and so that anyone driving during the night can see the village, unlike when it’s dark."&nbsp;</p>

Moroccan electricians work to bring back power to quake-hit villages

<p>Authorities in the United States said that five adults and a 15-year-old self-described as "Soldiers of Christ" religious group members were arrested in connection to the brutal death of a South Korean woman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The woman was beaten, starved, burned and then wrapped in a blanket. She was found in the trunk of a car parked outside Jeju Sauna, a popular South Korean spa located in Duluth.&nbsp;</p>

US: Six 'Soldiers of Christ' members arrested after starved woman's body found in car trunk

<p>World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged China to offer more information on the origins of coronavirus. He told the Financial Times on Sunday (September 17) that the health agency is ready to send a second team to probe the matter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ever since the virus spread was declared a public health emergency of international concern in January 2020, several claims and counterclaims have been made over its origin. Many assumed that it spread in a live animal market before spreading throughout the world.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>CIA and Covid controversy</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Allegations have been made against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in which several of their analysts were paid to change their views on the origins of Covid.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by Sky News, Stanford University Professor Dr Jayanta Bhattacharya said that the entire world needs "absolute transparency" on the CIA Covid origins allegations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bhattacharya said: "What was the CIA’s role – what role did they have and why was there any interest in covering up that fact? If these allegations are correct, that the CIA actually paid off its own analyst to not tell the public or at least not even tell the president that the CIA thought that the virus was as a result of laboratory work – it’s just shocking."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This is something the entire world deserves to know; we need absolute transparency in this. This is not a question of national security anymore – this is a question of human rights – it’s a question of honesty," Bhattacharya added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hurricane Lee has now become a post-tropical cyclone, but it continues to produce hurricane-force winds that knocked out power early Saturday morning while delivering rainfall to parts of southeastern New England and Atlantic Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In its latest advisory, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that Lee would make landfall on Saturday and was about 365 km south-southwest of Halifax Nova Scotia, with maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The advisory added that strong winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains were already occurring in parts of New England and Atlantic Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The advisory was released at 5:00am (local time). It read: "Lee is expected to be at or just below hurricane strength when it reaches Nova Scotia later today. Weakening is forecast tonight and Sunday while Lee moves across Atlantic Canada."&nbsp;</p>

<p>More than 100,000 residents in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia were without electricity early Saturday after severe winds pulled down trees. In neighbouring New Brunswick, around 36,000 residents were without power.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by the news Reuters, Matt Drover of the Nova Scotia electric utility said: "Crews have been able to restore power to some customers ... however, conditions are getting worse. In many cases, especially when winds are above 80 km/h, it isn't safe for our crews."&nbsp;</p>

Hurricane Lee weakens to post-tropical cyclone, nears Atlantic coast; thousands without power

<p>British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is mulling over banning Chinese officials from half of his global artificial intelligence (AI) safety summit, which is scheduled to be held in November at Bletchley Park, The Guardian reported citing sources. The report suggested that the decision may come amid growing concern over claims of spying by Beijing on Western governments.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The United Kingdom has already jotted down its objectives for its AI safety summit, which focuses on understanding the risks posed by the frontier technology and how national and international frameworks could be supported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report mentioned that an invitation for the summit has been sent to China by Downing Street. But sources have said that China may not be allowed to attend the first day of the two-day summit amid concerns over their espionage activities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recently, a report emerged that two men have been arrested under the Official Secrets Act amid reports that a parliamentary researcher spied for China. The researcher has been arrested on suspicion of spying for China.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sunak had expressed concerns about Chinese interference with a senior official from China, but The Guardian report hasn't mentioned whether or not the AI summit ban is because of the arrest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen are among the dignitaries who are scheduled to attend the event, the report said, further adding that the United States President Joe Biden will not attend and will be represented by Vice-President Kamala Harris.&nbsp;</p>

Is Rishi Sunak mulling over partially banning Chinese officials from AI summit in November?

<p>Brazilian Army Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, who was the aide of former president Jair Bolsonaro, has told police that after selling two luxury watches the ex-president had received as official gifts, he gave him tens of thousands of dollars, The Guardian reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last month, police raided the homes of Bolsonaro allies who were accused of reselling gifts including jewellery from foreign dignitaries for the "illicit enrichment of" the former president.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The investigators earlier said that Cid, one of the accused, mentioned in an audio message that "25,000 dollars in cash" would be intended for the ex-president after the sale of certain goods.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Cid was in prison for four months after being sent to jail in May over falsification of coronavirus vaccination certificates. Reports alleged that he forged Bolsonaro's vaccination cards in order to travel together to the United States after his electoral defeat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier this month, the Supreme Court of the nation authorised a cooperation deal between Cid and the country's Federal Police and last week, Cid was released on parole from the military prison in Brasília. He was moved to a housing development for the military.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report mentioned that the deal apparently needs Cid to give details regarding all the suspected crimes committed when Bolsonaro was in office, which included an alleged coup plot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Media says that just before he was released, Cid gave a statement to federal investigators, admitting selling a diamond-set Rolex and a Patek Philippe wristwatch on behalf of the ex-president. The watches were gifts from Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to an explosive front-page report in Veja, Brazil’s most-read weekly news magazine, on Friday (September 15), "Was the sale immoral? Perhaps. But we didn't think it was illegal," claimed Cid.&nbsp;</p>

Man climbing into Royal Mews by Buckingham Palace arrested

<p>Former United States president Donald Trump said that he appreciated the recent comments by Russian President Vladimir Putin about him. In an interview with NBC, Trump said it meant "what I'm saying is right," referring to his stance on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recently, Putin called the legal proceedings against former Trump as a political witch hunt and said that the actions taken against him were politically driven persecution.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by news agencies, Putin had said at an economic forum in the far eastern city of Vladivostok: "As for the persecution of Trump, for us, in the current environment, it's good because it shows the rottenness of the American system. It is a politically motivated persecution of one's competitor."</p>

<p>This is not the first time, Russia has often spoken out in defence of the former US president, who is facing a series of charges linked to election interference.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, during the interview, Trump responded: "I like that he said that because that means what I'm saying is right. I would get him into a room, I would get [Ukrainian President] Zelensky into a room and I would get a deal worked out."&nbsp;</p>

<p>While speaking about the war, which started last year in February, Trump said that he would resolve the war within 24 hours if re-elected president. He has repeatedly said that he could quickly end the war, but never revealed how.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump said in the interview "if I tell you exactly, I lose all my bargaining chips. I mean, you can't really say exactly what you're going to do. But I would say certain things to Putin. I would say certain things to Zelensky".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Relations between Washington and Moscow, strained by a litany of issues under Putin, have hit new lows since the Kremlin launched large-scale hostilities in Ukraine last year.</p>

<p>Putin said he did not expect any change in the US foreign policy stance towards Russia regardless of "whoever will be elected president" next year. He accused Washington of stoking anti-Russian feelings among ordinary Americans.</p>

Now, during the interview, Trump responded: "I like that he said that because that means what I'm saying is right. I would get him into a room, I would get [Ukrainian President] Zelensky into a room and I would get a deal worked out." While speaking about the war, which started last year in February, Trump said that he would resolve the war within 24 hours if re-elected president.

I mean, you can't really say exactly what you're going to do. But I would say certain things to Putin. I would say certain things to Zelensky". Relations between Washington and Moscow, strained by a litany of issues under Putin, have hit new lows since the Kremlin launched large-scale hostilities in Ukraine last year. Putin said he did not expect any change in the US foreign policy stance towards Russia regardless of "whoever will be elected president" next year.

Donald Trump welcomes Vladimir Putin's praise, says 'I like that he said that'

<p>The United Kingdom defence ministry claimed on Saturday (September 16) that Russia will most likely be able to assemble a significant stockpile of air-launched cruise missiles to use them to strike Ukrainian infrastructure over the coming winter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The latest intelligence update by the ministry suggests that the air-launched cruise missiles (ALCMs), particularly the modern AS-23a KODIAK, were central to most of Russia's long-range strikes against Ukraine's national energy infrastructure between October 2022 and March 2023.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The defence intelligence added that Moscow uses strategic bomber aircraft to release these munitions from deep within Russian territory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a post shared on X, the defence ministry said: "Open source reports suggest that since April 2023, ALCM expenditure rates have reduced, while Russian leaders have highlighted efforts to increase the rate of cruise missile production."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Russia is therefore likely able to generate a significant stockpile of ALCMs. There is a realistic possibility Russia will again focus these weapons against Ukrainian infrastructure targets over the winter," it added.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Zelensky to visit the White House&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>the White House announced Friday (September 15) that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will pay his second wartime visit to Washington next week, in a bid to solidify the support of his country's crucial ally. The US has already shipped billions of dollars in aid to fight Russia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zelensky will travel to the White House on Thursday for talks with President Joe Biden and also hold meetings at the US Congress, where elements of the rival Republican Party are hesitant as Biden seeks to push through a major new package for Kyiv.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan said that the trip comes at a "critical time" as Ukraine wages a counteroffensive against Russia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US president will reaffirm "his commitment to continuing to lead the world in supporting Ukraine as it defends its independence, its sovereignty and its territorial integrity," Sullivan told reporters.</p>
