After police in Madagascar opened fire on a lynch mob enraged by the abduction of an albino child, killing 19 people and many were injured critically.

According to a senior doctor, Tango Oscar described the injuries in gruesome detail, stating that nine of the 34 injured are critical and struggling to survive. The medics are awaiting an official chopper to transport them to the capital.

A police officer engaged in the shooting claimed that 500 protesters tried to force their way into the station while equipped with machetes and swords. He then claimed that police attempted to disperse the throng by firing tear gas first, followed by shots in the air. The police in the capital confirmed the toll as 11 dead and 18 injured.

It has been more than a year since Afghanistan was under the control of the Taliban. The UN aid chief on Monday (August 30) said that countries should now resume sending development assistance aid to the people who are starving.

The economic and political situation in the South Asian country is deteriorating every day. The population is increasing, poverty is getting worse, and the authorities don’t have the funds to cope with it. Afghanistan's development has slowed, particularly since the Taliban took control.

According to the UN aid chief, six million people in the country are at risk of starvation, and half of them require humanitarian assistance. He further stated that without proper care, more than a million children are predicted to be suffering from malnutrition.

The UN and other charity organisations have struggled to get enough money into the country over the past year as international banks are wary of breaking sanctions.

Martin Griffiths, UN chief aid said, "Humanitarians have brought in over $1 billion in cash to sustain programme delivery, but the liquidity and banking crisis continues to impact delivery of assistance and on the daily lives of Afghans," Reuters reported.

Thousands of Orthodox Christians marched in Belgrade to protest against holding the EuroPride. The protester marched through the city carrying religious symbols like flags, crosses, and icons while chanting and praying.

The protests came despite the Serbian government's announcing the cancellation of a pan-European LGBTQ event next week. On Saturday (August 27), President Aleksandar Vucic declared, after consulting with his government, that the pride parade would be "postponed or cancelled.’’

According to Vucic, it was difficult to manage everything during a time when the country was already dealing with all kinds of problems, highlighting recent tensions with the former province of Kosovo as well as concerns over energy and food.

Serbian Orthodox Bishop Nikanor praised the government’s decision to cancel the parade. A video was posted on the Glas Javnosti website, where he considered it to be an "abnormality" that should be handled the same way Vladimir Putin handled it. In 2013, Russia outlined a law banning LGBT "propaganda" directed towards minors with punishable fines and imprisonment. Nikanor referred to Putin as "the tsar of the planet."

The bishop further said that the faithful ones are ready to take it to the streets again, putting themselves before those who intend to destroy the values of Serbia.

Morning news brief: NASA’s Artemis mission to the Moon, floods in Pakistan, and more

NASA’s new moon rocket will make its debut next week in a risky test flight before astronauts reach the lunar surface.

The 322-foot rocket will attempt to launch an empty crew capsule into lunar orbit, fifty years after NASA’s renowned Apollo moon shots.

However, the six-week plan is dangerous. The space agency still hopes to put two people on the lunar surface by the end of the year 2025, but if things go as per plan, astronauts could strap in as early as 2024 for a trip around the moon.

NASA administrator Bill Nelson said that if things go wrong for the Artemis programme, spiralling expenses and lengthy intervals between missions will make it difficult for the agency to make a comeback.

Compared to the Saturn V rockets that launched 24 Apollo astronauts to the moon 50 years ago, the new rocket is shorter and leaner, but with 4 million kilogrammes of thrust, it is more powerful.

The new rocket, in contrast to the Saturn V’s sleek design, includes two strap-on boosters.

The rocket’s core stage will continue to fire before detaching and fragmenting when it crashes into the Pacific. A higher stage will launch the Orion spacecraft towards the moon in the two hours following lift-off.

The boosters won’t be recovered from the Atlantic for reuse; instead, they will peel away after two minutes, much as the shuttle boosters did. The core stage will continue to fire before detaching and fragmenting when it crashes into the Pacific.

A higher stage will launch the Orion spacecraft towards the moon two hours following lift-off.

The 386,000 km journey to the moon will take about a week. The capsule will enter a distant orbit with a far point of 61,000 kilometres, whizzing narrowly around the moon, reported AP.

The only drawback is that before travelling to the moon, the starship will need to refuel at a fuel station in Earth's orbit.

By 2024, a second test flight will transport four humans around the moon and back.

NASA plans to launch four more around a year later, with two of them landing at the lunar south pole. Like NASA’s Apollo spacecraft, Orion lacks a built-in lunar lander, so the space agency worked with SpaceX to supply its Starship spaceship for the first Artemis moon landing.

Musk plans to launch a starship around Earth on SpaceX’s Super Heavy Booster.

Peruvian President Pedro Castillo is besieged by scandals and, with 13 months in office, has already survived two attempts at impeachment. It's just not him. His family is also on target. Castillo’s sister-in-law has been&nbsp;given a 30-month pre-trial sentence, marking the most significant uptick in the series of criminal probes into the president’s inner circle.

He often referred to his sister-in-law, Yenifer Paredes, as his "daughter." Paredes is accused of being part of a group that engaged in influence peddling to give Castillo's allies public contacts in their home region of Cajamarca, in the Peruvian Andes.

Peruvian President Pedro Castillo’s sister-in-law sent to jail over corruption charges, inner circle on target

The violent clash between two opposing militia groups in Tripoli on Saturday claimed the lives of 32 people and injured 159, bringing back violence to the Libyan city. The two competing administrations - one located in the capital and the other authorised by a parliament in the country's east - are fighting for control over the North African country and its oil and trade resources.

Videos shared online showed dozens of cars and buildings damaged. Roads were reopened. However, after hours of raging violence, the city was back to normal.

The north African country has been in turmoil since Muammar Gaddafi was ousted and later murdered in 2011. The country is being contested by two regimes and is awaiting elections. The general election was to happen last year but got delayed due to clashes.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/libya-clashes-death-toll-rises-to-32-159-wounded-so-far-510981">Also read |&nbsp;Libya clashes: Death toll rises to 32, 159 wounded so far</a>

Armed local groups later took control of all economic resources in an effort to create chaos. However, in 2014, another parallel group was formed when the same year battle for Tripoli began and later acknowledged Khalifa Haftar as the leader. Later, in 2019, the UN-backed agreement led to an internationally recognised government but eastern forces, or Haftar’s force rejected it and attacked the capital. On the contrary, to support the Tripoli government, western groups banded together and were able to attack in 2020 with the help of Turkey, leading to ceasefires.

UN later made another peace agreement. The PM Abdulamid al-Ddeibah was assigned to oversee the elections in 2021. As there were no agreements on election rules, the process broke down.

Eastern Libya deemed Ddeibah’s administration and appointed a new head Fathi Bashagha. The former leader refused to transfer powers.

The western forces saw Bashagha as a chance of victory and united with Haftar’s eastern alliance. After being appointed, Bashagha was blocked by pro-Ddeibah while entering Tripoli. He made another attempt in May but was stopped again.

As months went by alliances and collation clashed encroaching each other’s territories. Pro-Bashagha started waging attacks when the fight broke out in an attempt to make him in charge of the capital.

Politicians have suggested making another administration. A permanent resolution to the country’s disputes appears to be distant.

A nation of nearly seven million people is still concerned that whatever the outcome of the upcoming rounds of discussions and positions will be, it would be followed by disputes.

The north African country has been in turmoil since Muammar Gaddafi was ousted and later murdered in 2011. The country is being contested by two regimes and is awaiting elections. The general election was to happen last year but got delayed due to clashes.

However, in 2014, another parallel group was formed when the same year battle for Tripoli began and later acknowledged Khalifa Haftar as the leader. Later, in 2019, the UN-backed agreement led to an internationally recognised government but eastern forces, or Haftar’s force rejected it and attacked the capital. On the contrary, to support the Tripoli government, western groups banded together and were able to attack in 2020 with the help of Turkey, leading to ceasefires. UN later made another peace agreement. The PM Abdulamid al-Ddeibah was assigned to oversee the elections in 2021. As there were no agreements on election rules, the process broke down. Eastern Libya deemed Ddeibah’s administration and appointed a new head Fathi Bashagha. The former leader refused to transfer powers. The western forces saw Bashagha as a chance of victory and united with Haftar’s eastern alliance. After being appointed, Bashagha was blocked by pro-Ddeibah while entering Tripoli. He made another attempt in May but was stopped again.

Pro-Bashagha started waging attacks when the fight broke out in an attempt to make him in charge of the capital. Politicians have suggested making another administration. A permanent resolution to the country’s disputes appears to be distant. A nation of nearly seven million people is still concerned that whatever the outcome of the upcoming rounds of discussions and positions will be, it would be followed by disputes.

Libya clashes: Everything you need to know about the disputes in the country

After completing 100 days in office, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in his speech stated that his government is working on jobs and workplace reform as the country earlier faced economic challenges during the coronavirus pandemic’s recovery phase.

The prime minister in conversation with National Press Club said that this week, a government-sponsored job summit will bring together important company and union groups to talk about the workplace and wage growth.

Albanese is mainly focusing on the emergence of cooperative culture in the workplace. The Australian stated that the economy is being held by a shortage of significant skills and the previous administration erred in advising those with temporary visas to leave Australia during the pandemic.

Albanese stated that along with lifting migration intake, the government will also look at creating additional paths for permanent migration. The government’s main aim is to strengthen the economy.

Albanese said, “Australia is already in the 'recovery' phase - and that's presenting its own economic challenges. Including significant and unpredictable supply and demand imbalances which are driving up costs, for businesses and families,” Reuters reported.

He criticised the nine years of conservative rule, citing “chaos” in sectors of energy policy and stagnant salaries. He emphasised the step his administration had previously done to address climate change, its determination to hold a referendum to ask voters whether or not to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the country’s constitution.

The country’s central bank issued a warning stating inflation rate in the country is on track to reach three- decades high requiring an increase in interest rates and economic growth.

With winters coming along with noxious smog, the Indian government is promoting a motorcycle helmet with filters and a fan at the back, saying it can remove 80 per cent of the pollutants. Shellios Technolabs is a start-up firm that has been developing the helmet since 2016 with funds of tens of thousands of dollars from state agencies.

Amit Pathak, the creator, said that it is the first of its kind in the world. The aim behind developing it is that 2016 saw the first news stories about the polluted air that, from mid-December to early February, made it difficult to breathe in such cold weather, trapping dust and smog. The helmet costs Rs. 4,500 ($56), approximately four times the price of an ordinary helmet.

One method to help with air pollution was an air purifier. However, an air purifier might be installed inside a house or a place, but people riding bikes are completely unprotected.

Pathak said that his company developed the helmet air purification system that has replaced the filter membrane and a fan that is driven by a battery that lasts six hours and can be recharged using a microUSB port.

In 2019, helmet sales began, and an independent laboratory discovered that the helmet prevented 80 percent of pollutants from entering the nostrils.

As Reuter’s poll stated, the helmet reduced outdoor PM 2.5 particle concentrations by 43.1 micrograms.

The Indian ministry states the helmet is "a breath of new air for bicyclists," Reuters reported.

Pathak sees a significant possibility for its sales. Shellios has partnered with a major manufacturer to create a lighter version of it using thermoplastic, which will reduce the cost of production and weight as well.

Pathak claims that other Southeast Asian countries have also shown interest in the product.
