On Thursday (October 27), Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chenchen leader and a close ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin, said that 23 soldiers had been killed and 58 others injured in an artillery attack by Ukraine this week.

Kadyrov claimed the instance happened in southern Kherson in a Telegram statement. He said, "All rescue operations at the site have been completed and there is a final list of dead and injured—23 soldiers were killed and 58 wounded."

Chechnya is a province in southern Russia with a majority of Muslims in the region, which is headed by Kadyrov. The leader identifies himself as a foot soldier for the Russian president.

It has been nearly eight months since the conflict in Russia's Ukraine began. Thousands and thousands of soldiers from both sides have been killed. The recent instance adds to the Russian fatality toll.

The Moscow forces have rarely acknowledged battlefield defeats since the war began, and the Chenchen leader's remarks were unexpected.

He also admitted that he had deployed thousands of soldiers to participate in the conflict. Yes, our losses in the early hours that day were great, but Chechens are participating in jihad ... and if they are destined to fall in the holy war, it is an honour and a great joy for every true Muslim, he remarked.

He claimed that following the conflict, the Chechen soldiers killed nearly 70 Ukrainian soldiers.&nbsp;

After emerging from poverty to become a president adored by Brazil's working class, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva plunged into shame in a corruption scandal that tore the counter apart.&nbsp;

Earlier in 2014, due to Lula's efforts, the country was able to win World Cup in 2014 &amp; 2016 but was later found himself embroiled in a corruption case.

Brazil elections: Lula all set to make comeback to lead Latin America's largest economy 

According to a new report published by the US-based research organization Health Effects Institute, nearly the entire African continent faces some of the most severe health impacts in the world due to air pollution, with several countries experiencing some of the highest levels of air pollution in the world (HEI).

The new report, The State of Air Quality and Health Impacts in Africa, provides a comprehensive analysis of major air pollution sources and related health impacts in Africa's 1.2 billion-person population.

The report, released just before the United Nations` upcoming COP27 Climate Change Conference in Egypt, discovered that air pollution is the continent's second leading cause of death. Africa has five of the top ten most polluted countries in the world in terms of outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5). In studies of long-term air pollution exposure, outdoor PM2.5 is the most consistent predictor of deaths from cardiovascular, respiratory, and other diseases. In 2019, air pollution was responsible for an estimated 1.1 million deaths in Africa, with 63 per cent&nbsp;of those deaths being linked to exposure to household air pollution (HAP).

Impacts of Air Pollution on Children

Access to clean energy is not evenly distributed across Africa, resulting in higher disease burdens in some areas. An estimated 75 per cent&nbsp;of the population in East, West, Central, and Southern Africa cooks with solid fuels such as coal, wood, and charcoal, exposing residents to high concentrations of harmful pollutants at home every day. In these areas, newborns and children under the age of five are especially vulnerable to household air pollution caused by the use of solid fuels for cooking. Air pollution was responsible for 14 per cent&nbsp;of all deaths in Africa`s children under the age of five in 2019.

The effects on newborns and infants have long-term health consequences, including issues with lung development and increased susceptibility to communicable diseases such as lower respiratory infections in young children.

Caradee Wright, the Chief Specialist Scientist with the South African Medical Research Council, said, "This report gives evidence of the substantial threat air pollution poses to the health, and even life, of babies and children under the age of 5 years. This vulnerable group needs special attention to mitigate their exposures, for example, through policy and intensive awareness campaigns with practical solutions for mothers and caregivers."

Air Pollution Sources Across the Continent

Many of the same sources of PM2.5 found elsewhere in the world are present in Africa, including the use of solid fuels for cooking, the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) for energy production, vehicles, industrial and semi-industrial activities such as artisanal mining, agriculture, forest fires, and open waste fire pits. Windblown dust, a natural source of air pollution, is also a major contributor to PM2.5 levels in some parts of Africa.

Air pollution sources and health consequences can vary greatly across the continent. Western Africa has the highest average concentration of PM2.5 pollution at 64.1 g/m3, while Southern Africa has the lowest at 26.5 g/m3. The use of fossil fuels contributes up to 41 per cent of total outdoor PM2.5 levels in Southern Africa, but only 11 per cent in Eastern Africa.

Targeted Actions are Beginning: More Needed

While air pollution levels are high, African countries are implementing a variety of programs to mitigate the effects of air pollution. So far, 17 African countries have implemented national air quality policies, with many including action on air pollution sources, particularly household air pollution, as part of their country's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In 2019, Africa had one of the world`s lowest rates of energy access, with fewer than one in every 20 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Niger, Uganda, and Tanzania having access to clean cooking fuels.

At the same time, a scarcity of ground-level air quality monitoring stations means countries are not able to accurately track their progress towards meeting air quality objectives and standards.

Dr Patrick de Marie Katoto of the Catholic University of Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, said, "Air pollution greatly contributes to the rising frequency of chronic noncommunicable diseases in Africa, putting further strain on a health system already stretched by chronic infectious diseases and, more recently, COVID-19. These findings call for the African Union and member states to promote, plan, and fund air quality interventions to prevent unnecessary disabilities and deaths throughout the continent."

Key Connections Between Air Pollution and Climate

Africa will consider how energy transitions can be designed to be efficient, economically feasible, sustainable, and environmentally friendly as the world`s nations gather in Egypt next month for the COP27 climate meetings. This complex challenge necessitates a nuanced conversation at the intersection of energy, climate, air quality, and health. African Union countries have also adopted "Agenda 2063," a continent-wide program that lays out a strategic framework designed to achieve the African Union`s goal of inclusive and sustainable development for all residents by 2063. Faced with these challenges, Africa will benefit from both improved public health and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

According to a new report published by the US-based research organization Health Effects Institute, nearly the entire African continent faces some of the most severe health impacts in the world due to air pollution, with several countries experiencing some of the highest levels of air pollution in the world (HEI).

In 2019, air pollution was responsible for an estimated 1.1 million deaths in Africa, with 63 per cent of those deaths being linked to exposure to household air pollution (HAP). Impacts of Air Pollution on Children Access to clean energy is not evenly distributed across Africa, resulting in higher disease burdens in some areas. An estimated 75 per cent of the population in East, West, Central, and Southern Africa cooks with solid fuels such as coal, wood, and charcoal, exposing residents to high concentrations of harmful pollutants at home every day. In these areas, newborns and children under the age of five are especially vulnerable to household air pollution caused by the use of solid fuels for cooking. Air pollution was responsible for 14 per cent of all deaths in Africa`s children under the age of five in 2019. The effects on newborns and infants have long-term health consequences, including issues with lung development and increased susceptibility to communicable diseases such as lower respiratory infections in young children. Caradee Wright, the Chief Specialist Scientist with the South African Medical Research Council, said, "This report gives evidence of the substantial threat air pollution poses to the health, and even life, of babies and children under the age of 5 years. This vulnerable group needs special attention to mitigate their exposures, for example, through policy and intensive awareness campaigns with practical solutions for mothers and caregivers." Air Pollution Sources Across the Continent Many of the same sources of PM2.5 found elsewhere in the world are present in Africa, including the use of solid fuels for cooking, the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) for energy production, vehicles, industrial and semi-industrial activities such as artisanal mining, agriculture, forest fires, and open waste fire pits. Windblown dust, a natural source of air pollution, is also a major contributor to PM2.5 levels in some parts of Africa. Air pollution sources and health consequences can vary greatly across the continent. Western Africa has the highest average concentration of PM2.5 pollution at 64.1 g/m3, while Southern Africa has the lowest at 26.5 g/m3. The use of fossil fuels contributes up to 41 per cent of total outdoor PM2.5 levels in Southern Africa, but only 11 per cent in Eastern Africa. Targeted Actions are Beginning: More Needed While air pollution levels are high, African countries are implementing a variety of programs to mitigate the effects of air pollution. So far, 17 African countries have implemented national air quality policies, with many including action on air pollution sources, particularly household air pollution, as part of their country's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In 2019, Africa had one of the world`s lowest rates of energy access, with fewer than one in every 20 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Niger, Uganda, and Tanzania having access to clean cooking fuels. At the same time, a scarcity of ground-level air quality monitoring stations means countries are not able to accurately track their progress towards meeting air quality objectives and standards. Dr Patrick de Marie Katoto of the Catholic University of Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, said, "Air pollution greatly contributes to the rising frequency of chronic noncommunicable diseases in Africa, putting further strain on a health system already stretched by chronic infectious diseases and, more recently, COVID-19. These findings call for the African Union and member states to promote, plan, and fund air quality interventions to prevent unnecessary disabilities and deaths throughout the continent." Key Connections Between Air Pollution and Climate Africa will consider how energy transitions can be designed to be efficient, economically feasible, sustainable, and environmentally friendly as the world`s nations gather in Egypt next month for the COP27 climate meetings. This complex challenge necessitates a nuanced conversation at the intersection of energy, climate, air quality, and health. African Union countries have also adopted "Agenda 2063," a continent-wide program that lays out a strategic framework designed to achieve the African Union`s goal of inclusive and sustainable development for all residents by 2063. Faced with these challenges, Africa will benefit from both improved public health and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Iraqi lawmakers approved a new government on Thursday, a key step forward after bitter infighting between Shiite Muslim factions and deadly violence following contested elections.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's 21-member cabinet is expected to face myriad challenges.

The oil-rich but war-ravaged country is plagued by endemic corruption, rampant unemployment and decaying infrastructure.

"Our ministerial team will shoulder the responsibility at this critical period, in which the world is witnessing tremendous political and economic changes and conflicts," Sudani's office said in a statement after the vote.

Those changes will "add new challenges to our country, which is already suffering from accumulated crises, that have had economic, social, humanitarian and environmental impacts on our citizens", it added.

It said that Sudani's government obtained the confidence of&nbsp;parliament, but did not gave a breakdown of the vote which took place by a show of hands.

It added, however, that 253 MPs out of&nbsp;parliament's 329 members were present at the session.

Sudani, 52, was chosen to form the new government on October 13 following months of infighting between key Shiite Muslim factions that plunged the country into political deadlock.

Elections 'within a year'

The movement of firebrand cleric Moqtada, Sudani's rival in&nbsp;Iraq's majority Shiite camp, refused to join the government.

But Sudani had the backing of the Coalition for the Administration of the State, which includes the Coordination Framework, an alliance of powerful pro-Iran Shiite factions that hold 138 out of 329 seats in&nbsp;parliament.

Other members include a Sunni grouping led by&nbsp;parliament&nbsp;speaker Mohammed al-Halbussi, and two key Kurdish parties.

Of the 21 ministries nominated, 12 posts go to Shiites supported by the Coordination Framework, six to Sunni leaders, two to Kurds and one to a Christian woman -- one of three females in the new government.

Some analysts say a new government does not mean the end of the power struggle between the Sadr and Coordination Framework camp that spilled into deadly clashes in August.

Ihsan al-Shammari, a political scientist at the University of Baghdad, said in order to avoid fresh unrest the new cabinet and the Coordination Framework should deliver reforms as demanded by Sadr.

Sudani has pledged to hold early elections "within a year" as requested by Sadr, a grey-bearded preacher who once led a militia against American and Iraqi government forces.

Endemic corruption

The new prime minister and his government were confirmed at a time when&nbsp;Iraq&nbsp;is facing numerous challenges and a battered economy.

State institutions have been weakened by decades of war, and corruption is endemic.

Official figures published last year estimated that well over $400 billion had gone missing from state coffers in the near two decades since dictator Saddam Hussein was toppled in 2003.

One of Sudani's first task would be to adopt a budget for 2022 -- a move key to unblock huge revenues from oil exports earned this year that are locked up in the central bank's coffers.

The colossal $87 billion in foreign exchange reserves are needed to put in motion much-needed reforms and kickstart infrastructure projects.

Despite its immense oil and gas reserves, about one-third of&nbsp;Iraq's 41 million population now lives in poverty, while some 35 per cent of young people are unemployed, according to the UN.

On Thursday, the UN mission in&nbsp;Iraq&nbsp;said it "welcomes confirmation of Iraqi government, reaffirms readiness to support".

Iraq parliament approves new government after year of deadlock

On Thursday (October 27), Jay Y Lee&nbsp;was named as executive chairman of Samsung, confirming that the billion-dollar company will be run by the third generation of the founder family.&nbsp;

The board approved Lee's ascension to the helm of the $250 billion company, it said in a statement.

It was expected that Lee will take over the company in 2020 after the demise of his father, but the process was delayed due to a corruption probe and two-year imprisonment.&nbsp;

Lee earlier functioned as the vice-chairman of Samsung Electronics since 2012.&nbsp;

The announcement came the same day the company declared poor earnings and warned that it doesn't expect the situation to get better until the second half of the year 2023.&nbsp;

The electronics giant reported a drop of 31 per cent in its third-quarter profit. The geopolitical uncertainties&nbsp;will dampen demand until early 2023, it said, according to a Reuters report.&nbsp;

Samsung hopes Lee's appointment will lead to growth in profits. To ensure the supply of chips, US and countries in Europe are pressuring Samsung to raise investments. South Korea, which significantly depends on the Chinese markets for exports, is currently being forced to take a side with US's campaign to stifle China's chip market, Bloomberg reported.&nbsp;

As per media reports, the new chairman owns 1.63 per cent of Samsung Electronics, and nearly 18.13 per cent of Samsung C&amp;T Corp. of the company.&nbsp;

According to Bloomberg data, Lee is worth nearly $6 billion.&nbsp;

Malaysians remain furious and frustrated with an ongoing egg shortage in the country. This is for other first time that a situation like this has occurred.&nbsp;

Consumers are keeping a close watch on social media for updates on the egg trail.&nbsp;

A 45-year-old woman in conversation with Strait Times said, "We monitor Facebook community groups for ‘egg updates’. Once there is news of eggs restocked at a particular outlet, there is&nbsp;a rush to queue up and get supplies."

The producers fear that the situation is likely to worsen. President of the&nbsp;Federation of Sundry Goods Merchants Association of Malaysia, Hong Chee Meng said, "According to our members, the eggs are all snapped up within hours when they arrive at their designated outlets."

Tan Teck Hock, president of Klang Coast Sundry Goods Merchants' Association said that the supply has decreased by 50 per cent.

As per industry players, the shortage has been caused due to increase in prices of maize and soya bean meals, the two main ingredients for chicken feed.&nbsp;

The Malaysian government on October 8 declared that it would maintain the prices of eggs. The farmers in response requested the govt to reduce the prices to help them cope with the increase in feed costs.&nbsp;

Deputy president of the Federation of Livestock Farmers Associations of Malaysia Lee Yoon Yeau said that the current situation will not improve until the government allows egg prices to float.&nbsp;He further added that if not done so, the shortage will continue throughout&nbsp;the next year.&nbsp;
