<p>Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, has erupted for the first time in nearly 40 years. The US revealed on Monday that the volcano in Hawaii is spewing lava and hot ash, with authorities on high alert.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US Geological Service (USGS) said that the lava is contained within the summit and does not threaten Hawaiians who are living downslope, for now. Although, the residents have been warned that volcanic gases and fine ash may drift their way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The USGS said on its website: "The eruption of Mauna Loa has migrated from the summit to the Northeast Rift Zone where fissures are feeding several lava flows."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Concerns have been raised since the night sky above Hawaii's largest island glowed bright red when the volcano burst into life for the first time since 1984.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It ended its longest quiet period as hot lava sprang out from the volcano's top at around 11:30pm (local time) on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US-based agency also said: "Based on past events, the early stages of a Mauna Loa rift zone eruption can be very dynamic, and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The board of Juventus, chaired by Andrea Agnelli, has resigned "in the best interest of the company," the Italian Serie A soccer team said on Monday.</p>

<p>The collective resignation comes after Juventus' financial statements received scrutiny from prosecutors and Italian market regulator Consob in recent months for alleged false accounting and market manipulation. The company had denied any wrongdoing.</p>

<p>Juventus said its directors had discussed the issue at a meeting on Monday and concluded it would be best addressed by a new board, given "the relevance of the pending legal and technical/accounting matters."</p>

<p>It added it would have to restate its financial statements for the fiscal year ending in June 2022.</p>

<p>The company, which is controlled by the Agnelli family's holding company Exor, said it had asked CEO Maurizio Arrivabene to maintain his position and had appointed Maurizio Scanavino as general manager.</p>

<p>Juventus said it had called a shareholder meeting on Jan. 18 to appoint a new board.</p>

<p>Andrea Agnelli, who has chaired Juventus since 2010, will not seek a reappointment, a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.</p>

<p>In a letter to Juventus staff seen by Reuters, Andrea Agnelli described the company situation as "delicate."</p>

<p>"When the team is not cohesive it becomes vulnerable and that can be fatal," he wrote.</p>

<p>"This is when you need to keep calm and contain damages: the company is going through a delicate phase and we're no longer cohesive. Better to quit all together, giving the chance to a new team to turn the game around."</p>

'Best interest of the company': Juventus Chairman Andrea Agnelli resigns with entire board

<p>White House on Monday (November 28) said that President Joe Biden is closely monitoring protests in China that erupted against the nation's zero-Covid measures.&nbsp;</p>

Joe Biden 'monitoring' rare unrest in China as protesters demand freedom from Covid measures

<p>China not only has the responsibility but the capability to influence North Korea's behaviour, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said, calling on Beijing to dissuade Pyongyang from pursuing banned development of nuclear weapons and missiles.</p>

<p>In a wide-ranging interview with Reuters on Monday, Yoon urged China, North Korea's closest ally, to fulfil its responsibilities as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and said not doing do so would lead to an influx of military assets to the region.</p>

<p>"What is sure is that China has the capability to influence North Korea, and China has the responsibility to engage in the process," Yoon said in his office. It was up to Beijing to decide whether it would exert that influence for peace and stability, he added.</p>

<p>North Korea's actions were leading to increased defence spending in countries around the region, including Japan, and more deployment of American warplanes and ships, Yoon noted.</p>

<p>It was in China's interest to make its "best efforts" to induce North Korea to denuclearise, he said.</p>

<p>Amid a record year for missile tests, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said this week his country intends to have the world's most powerful nuclear force. South Korean and U.S. officials say Pyongyang may be preparing to resume testing nuclear bombs for the first time since 2017.</p>

<p>North Korea's tests overshadowed multiple gatherings this month of international leaders, including the Group of 20 conference in Bali, where Yoon pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping to do more to rein in North Korea's nuclear and missile provocations. Xi urged Seoul to improve relations with Pyongyang.</p>

<p>Ahead of the G20, U.S. President Joe Biden told Xi that Beijing had an obligation to attempt to talk North Korea out of conducting a seventh nuclear test, although he said it was unclear whether China had the ability to do so. Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said before the meeting that Biden would warn Xi that North Korea's continued pursuit of weapons development would lead to an enhanced U.S. military presence in the region, something Beijing is not keen to see.</p>

<p>South Korea and the United States have agreed to deploy more U.S. "strategic assets" such as aircraft carriers and long-range bombers to the area, but Yoon said he did not expect changes to the 28,500 American ground forces stationed in South Korea.</p>

<p>When asked what South Korea and its partners would do in the event that North Korea conducts a new test, Yoon vowed a response "not seen in the past", but did not elaborate.</p>

<p>"It would be extremely unwise for North Korea to conduct a seventh nuclear test," he told Reuters.</p>

<p>"We must respond consistently, and in lockstep with each other," Yoon said, blaming a lack of consistency in the international response for the failure of three decades of North Korea policy.</p>

<p>China fought beside the North in the 1950-53 Korean War and has backed it economically and diplomatically ever since but analysts say Beijing may have limited power, and perhaps little desire, to curb Pyongyang. China says it enforces the UNSC sanctions, which it voted for, but has since called for them to be eased and, along with Russia, blocked U.S.-led attempts to impose new sanctions.</p>

<p><strong>OPPOSES CHANGE TO TAIWAN 'STATUS QUO'</strong></p>

<p>Boosting ties and coordination with Washington is the core of Yoon's foreign policy, a focus highlighted by the main item on his desk: a sign saying "The Buck Stops Here", a gift from Biden.</p>

<p>Like his predecessor, Moon Jae-in, Yoon has treaded cautiously amid the rising U.S.-China rivalry. China is South Korea's largest trading partner, as well as a close partner of North Korea.</p>

<p>On rising tensions between China and Taiwan, Yoon said any conflict there should be resolved according to international norms and rules.</p>

<p>Democratic Taiwan, which China claims as its own, has come under increasing military and political pressure from Beijing, which has said it will never renounce the use of force over Taiwan.</p>

<p>"I am firmly opposed to any attempt to change the status quo unilaterally," Yoon said.</p>

<p>When asked about any role in a Taiwan conflict for South Korea or the U.S. troops stationed there, Yoon said the country's forces would "consider the overall security situation" but their most imminent concern would be any North Korean military actions to take advantage of the situation.</p>

<p>"What is important is responding to the imminent threat surrounding us and controlling the possible threat," he said.</p>

<p><strong>REGIONAL COOPERATION</strong></p>

<p>Yoon has also made increasing cooperation with Japan a core goal, despite lingering legal and political disputes dating back to Japan's 1910-1945 occupation of the Korean peninsula.</p>

<p>South Korea, Japan, and the United States have agreed to share real time information for tracking North Korean ballistic missile tests.</p>

<p>As part of its biggest military expansion since World War Two, Japan is expected to procure fresh munitions, including longer-range missiles, spend on cyber defences and create a combined air, sea and land command headquarters that will work more closely with U.S. forces in Japan.</p>

<p>Japan's military ambitions have long been a sensitive issue in neighbouring countries, many of which were invaded before or during World War II.</p>

<p>Yoon's predecessor stopped many of the trilateral exercises and nearly left an intelligence sharing deal with Tokyo as relations soured.</p>

<p>Now Japan faced more and more threats from North Korea’s missile programme, including tests that overfly Japanese islands, Yoon said.</p>

<p>"I believe the Japanese government cannot be asleep at the wheel with the North Korean missile flights over their territory," he said.</p>

<p>After the match against Mexico, Argentina players were seen celebrating in the locker room, and a video of the same went viral on social media forums.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Monday, Alvarez on his Twitter account wrote: "Have you seen Messi cleaning the floor with our jersey and flag?" In another tweet, the champion boxer said that "he (Messi) should ask to God that I don't find him!". Alvarez's second tweet was accompanied by two fist emojis and an enraged red face and a flame.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The boxer went on to say: "Just like I respect Argentina, he has to respect Mexico! I'm not talking about the country as a whole, just about the bulls**t that Messi did."&nbsp;</p>

World Cup: Did Lionel Messi insult Mexican jersey? Champion boxer warns Argentine over locker room celebration

<p>Portugal beat Uruguay 2-0 on Monday with two goals from midfielder Bruno Fernandes to become the third team after France and Brazil to qualify for the World Cup knockout stage.</p>

<p>The Europeans had dominated possession before Fernandes' 54th-minute cross floated past Uruguayan goalkeeper Sergio Rochet, who was rooted to the spot as Cristiano Ronaldo rose to head the ball and initially celebrated the goal as his.</p>

<p>Fernandes scored the second in injury time after a penalty was awarded for handball following a video review.</p>

<p>Uruguay, who had knocked Portugal out of the 2018 World Cup, will rue a string of chances on the break: midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur skipped past three players only to see his shot brilliantly saved, Maxi Gomez hit the post and Luis Suarez shot into the side netting.</p>

<p>Portugal's second win in two games put them top of Group H on six points and heading into the last 16. Uruguay, third on one point, must beat Ghana in their final group game to have a chance of progressing.</p>

World Cup: Portugal beat Uruguay 2-0 to become third team into last 16

<p>Turkish President Recep Erdogan said on Monday (November 28) that nobody should be "disturbed" by the country's military operations into Syria, which are aimed at expanding its circle of security and peace. He reiterated the nation's determination to form a 30-kilometre-long security corridor along the southern border with Syria.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Erdogan recently said that the Turkish military could launch ground operations in northern Syria and Iraq besides the air campaigns.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But Russia urged Turkey to exercise "restraint" and warned against "destabilising" Syria. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had said that Moscow understands Turkey's concerns regarding its security, but also called on all parties to refrain from steps that could lead to "seriously destabilising the situation".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Erdogan said, "Nobody should be disturbed by Turkey's military operations aimed at expanding its circle of security and peace. Because in the history of this country, there is no colonisation, no brutality, no selfishness, and there is no cruelty."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Turkey also carried out strategic air strikes against the bases of Kurdish militants across northern Syria and Iraq. Erdogan's administration claimed that those bases were used to launch "terrorist" attacks on Turkish soil.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The strikes came a week after a bomb attack in Istanbul killed six people and left 81 wounded, which Ankara blamed on the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). But the Kurdish groups and authorities have denied the allegations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Neither the countries they trust so much, nor the terror barons who put their lives on the market will be able to save them from the tragic fate that awaits at the end," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Turkish officials said that the army just needs a few days to prepare for a ground incursion into northern Syria. A concrete decision regarding this was expected to come at a cabinet meeting on Monday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But, Erdogan did not directly address it. But it is said that a formal decision might be anounced after the cabinet meeting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A landslide in Cameroon's capital Yaounde on Sunday (November 27) killed at least 14&nbsp;people, who were gathered at a funeral to mourn the deaths of several local people.</p>

<p>Naseri Paul Bea, governor of Cameroon's Centre region, told state broadcaster CRTV,&nbsp;"We are carrying the corpses to the mortuary of the central hospital, while the search for other people, or corpses, is still ongoing."&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the media reports, people were attending a funeral on a football pitch. Several witnesses told the news agency Reuters that they were present at the base of a 20-metre-high soil embankment, which collapsed on top of them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Locals were frantically searching for loved ones as the emergency services were rushed to the site where a tragic incident took place. As per the news agencies, several people in the crowd wept as emergency workers continued&nbsp;their work.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Locals told the news agency AFP that four large white tents were made on waste ground at the top of a hill as families gathered to attend a funeral.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The tents were made on the edge of what looked like a ridge, and beyond that, the ground had disappeared. The area was cordoned off by police and the journalists were prevented from getting closer to the scene of the disaster.&nbsp;</p>

Russia-Ukraine war: Zelensky says Russia is planning new strikes

<p>Germany played out a 1-1 draw against Spain in a FIFA World Cup Group E showdown on Sunday (November 27), a result which left the group still wide open.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ongoing FIFA World Cup is full of twists and turns as there have been some shocking defeats and many stunning games so far in the tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the latest clash between Spain and Germany, the latter managed to get a precious point with Niclas Fullkrug's goal as they continue to fight to progress in World Cup.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The draw means Germany's hopes of reaching the knockout phase are not over yet. The Germans received an unlikely lifeline when Costa Rica beat Japan and a defeat by Spain would send them out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But it didn't happen as substitute Fuellkrug scored in the 83rd minute to cancel out Spain's lead. When the two European giants met on the field, many goals were expected but it remained a tight 90-minute-long game.&nbsp;</p>
