India: College student harassed physically and sexually for alleged comments against Prophet Muhammad

<p>After the meeting, Biden told a news conference: "I do not think there is any imminent attempt on the part of China to invade Taiwan. I made it clear that we want to see cross-strait issues peacefully resolved, and so it never has to come to that."&nbsp;</p>

<p>After Pelosi, several other US diplomats also visited the island, flaring up tensions between China and US. China even claimed that, in case needed, it will use force to unite the two territories.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Beijing has maintained that its approach to Taiwan has not changed. The recent actions show and some analysts also believe that Bejing might engage in a full-scale conflict with Taiwan.

<p>After the meeting, the Chinese foreign ministry noted Biden's assurances and called on the United States to "match its words with action and abide by the One-China policy" of recognising only Beijing.&nbsp;</p>

Antony Blinken to visit China next year to follow up on Biden-Xi discussions: White House

<p>Chinese authorities have unveiled sweeping measures to rescue the country's struggling property sector, as regulators seek to offset years of harsh pandemic curbs and a real estate crackdown that have stalled the world's number-two economy.</p>

<p>The banking regulator and central bank on Friday issued a 16-point set of internal directives to promote the "stable and healthy development" of the industry, which were reported by Chinese state media on Monday.</p>

<p>The measures include credit support for debt-laden housing developers, financial support to ensure the completion and handover of projects to homeowners, and assistance for deferred-payment loans for homebuyers.</p>

<p>That came on the same day the National Health Commission issued 20 rules for "optimising" China's zero-Covid policy, where certain restrictions were relaxed to limit its social and economic impact.</p>

<p>"We view this as the most crucial pivot since Beijing significantly tightened financing of the property sector," Ting Lu, chief China economist at Nomura, said in a note.</p>

<p>"We believe these measures demonstrate that Beijing is willing to reverse most of its financial tightening measures."</p>

<p>Hong Kong stocks surged more than three per cent Monday after the measures were unveiled, extending Friday's more than seven per cent rally before paring gains to 1.7 per cent at the close.</p>

<p>The Hong Kong-listed shares of China's biggest developer by sales, Country Garden, closed up 45 per cent while the shares of major competitor Greenland gained more than 35 per cent.</p>

<p><strong>'Not a bailout'</strong></p>

<p>Beijing imposed widespread lending curbs on property developers in 2020, which exacerbated their liquidity issues and caused several of the largest to default on bond payments.</p>

<p>The knock-on effects on the massive real estate sector were severe, with cash-strapped developer Evergrande -- China's largest -- and others failing to complete projects, sparking mortgage boycotts and protests from homebuyers.</p>

<p>The measures emphasised "guaranteeing the handover of buildings", and ordered development banks to provide "special loans" for the purpose, according to a copy circulating online.</p>

<p>Tesla has agreed to assist the&nbsp;Chinese police&nbsp;in the investigation of a crash involving one of its Model Y cars. The accident reportedly killed two people and injured three people. A CCTV video of the same incident went viral on social media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reports have mentioned that the incident happened on November 5 in the southern province of China's Guangdong. Local reports mentioned that the car started to malfunction after the driver tried to park it. The park button apparently did not work, and the brakes also failed. The car started to accelerate instead of stopping.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, the US automaker said that it would assist the probe to know what exactly happened. The company, which Elon Musk owns, told Reuters: "Police are currently seeking a third party appraisal agency to identify the truth behind this accident and we will actively provide any necessary assistance." The electric vehicle maker also urged people to not believe in "rumours".&nbsp;</p>

VIDEO: Tesla to 'identify the truth' behind fatal crash involving Model Y in China

<p>The Taliban's chief spokesperson said on Sunday (November 23) that Afghanistan's supreme leader has ordered the judges to fully implement aspects of the Islamic law that include public executions, stonings and floggings, and the amputation of limbs for thieves.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a tweet, Zabihullah Mujahid noted that Hibatullah Akhundzada gave the "obligatory" command, which was finalised after the secretive leader met with a group of judges.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mujahid quoted Akhundzada as saying: "Carefully examine the files of thieves, kidnappers and seditionists. Those files in which all the sharia (Islamic law) conditions of hudud and qisas have been fulfilled, you are obliged to implement. This is the ruling of sharia, and my command, which is obligatory."&nbsp;</p>

<p>News agency AFP reported that Akhundzada rules by decree from Kandahar. Notably, Akhundzada has not been filmed or photographed in public since the Taliban returned to power in August last year.&nbsp;</p>

Public executions, stonings, and more: Taliban order full implementation of Islamic law

From Ireland's delight to Kohli's dazzle: Top moments from T20 WC 2022 tournament

<p>Congratulatory messages have been pouring in for the T20 World Cup-winning team England after they won the final clash against Pakistan. On the other hand, the Babar Azam-led team was consoled by the Pakistan cricket fraternity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jos Buttler's side scripted history as they beat Pakistan by five wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday (November 13) to win their second Twenty20 World Cup title. England became the first dual white-ball champions, as now they hold both the 50- and 20-over titles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the final match, England's captain Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl first. Englishmen restricted Pakistan to 137-8, with stunning spells by Sam Curran (3-12) and Adil Rashid (2-22).&nbsp;</p>

<p>While chasing, all-rounder Ben Stokes (52*) helped the team to reach the target of 138 after losing five wickets with six balls to spare. Moeen Ali (19) also scored crucial runs in the end.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There was a moment when Pakistan were trying to make a comeback, but Shaheen Afridi walking off the field with an apparent knee injury appeared to be a turning point in the game. Afridi left the field after bowling one ball in the 16th over.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Men In Green looked heartbroken after the loss, but the Pakistan cricket fraternity sent messages to comfort the team and congratulated them for their performance throughout the series.&nbsp;</p>

Congratulatory messages have been pouring in for the T20 World Cup-winning team England after they won the final clash against Pakistan. On the other hand, the Babar Azam-led team was consoled by the Pakistan cricket fraternity.

Congratulatory messages have been pouring in for the T20 World Cup-winning team England after they won the final clash against Pakistan. On the other hand, the Babar Azam-led team was consoled by the Pakistan cricket fraternity. Jos Buttler's side scripted history as they beat Pakistan by five wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday (November 13) to win their second Twenty20 World Cup title. England became the first dual white-ball champions, as now they hold both the 50- and 20-over titles. In the final match, England's captain Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl first. Englishmen restricted Pakistan to 137-8, with stunning spells by Sam Curran (3-12) and Adil Rashid (2-22). While chasing, all-rounder Ben Stokes (52*) helped the team to reach the target of 138 after losing five wickets with six balls to spare. Moeen Ali (19) also scored crucial runs in the end. IN PICS | T20 World Cup 2022: Key moments from final clash between England vs Pakistan There was a moment when Pakistan were trying to make a comeback, but Shaheen Afridi walking off the field with an apparent knee injury appeared to be a turning point in the game. Afridi left the field after bowling one ball in the 16th over. The Men In Green looked heartbroken after the loss, but the Pakistan cricket fraternity sent messages to comfort the team and congratulated them for their performance throughout the series.
