It's been a few weeks since the world's richest man Elon Musk took over the microblogging platform, Twitter for $44 billion deal.&nbsp;

Since then things at Twitter don't look friendly at all. It all started when Musk soon after his takeover fired three top seniors including the CEO and CFO. Later a sudden announcement of abruptly laying off 50 per cent of the workforce was made official.

This doesn't stop here. Hundreds of employees made their exit after receiving an 'ultimatum' from the new Twitter owner, to&nbsp;either work for hours or leave. Many chose the option to leave.&nbsp;

Recently a YouTuber named Lauren Chen posted a before and after picture of Twitter staff after Musk's takeover which certainly showed fewer&nbsp;female employees. Scroll to look at the picture:

'Where are the women?': YouTuber posts before & after pictures of Twitter amid Musk's takeover. Take a look!

The Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida intends to sack its internal minister Minoru Terada on Sunday (November 20), Yomiuri newspaper reported. The internal minister sets out to be the third minister leaving the Kishida administration within a month. Recently,&nbsp;on October 24, the economic revitalisation minister Daishiro Yamagiwa resigned.&nbsp;

The prime minister took the decision a day prior following the mounting pressure within his party to limit the effect of the impending parliamentary session on the second additional budget of the fiscal year.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/japan-united-states-hold-military-drills-right-after-north-koreas-icbm-launch-535363">Also read |&nbsp;Japan, United States hold military drills right after North Korea's ICBM launch</a>

The Japanese media outlet Yomiuri stated that the prime minister will discuss further with aides on Sunday before the budget discussions. During the press conference, he said that he would make a decision on the internal minister adding that the cabinet minister must fulfil their duties, Reuters reported.&nbsp;

Terada has come under fire for a number of funding scandals and has admitted that one of his support groups submitted a funding document that was purportedly signed by a deceased person. This led to a call&nbsp;for his resignation.&nbsp;

His exit might weaken Kishida, whose support had stayed around 30 per cent as per a few surveys and could make it challenging for the prime minister to carry forward his objectives.&nbsp;

Following the triumph of his ruling party LDP in July, Kishida was expected to have a three-year golden period until the next elections in 2025. However, after the murder of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, it exposed close and long-standing links between LDP members and the unification church, and the prime minister's reputation suffered.&nbsp;

The murderer further claimed that the church had driven his mother into bankruptcy and blamed Abe for this. However, the LDP members said that there had been no organisational connections between the party and the group.&nbsp;

Further, the decision Kishida took for a state burial for Abe, led to huge criticism. The economic minister also reigned over his links with the group.&nbsp;

The prime minister has been under great pressure from the citizens for not only his links with the church but also for handling the situation carefully.&nbsp;

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in an interview with CNN warned that an economic recession might be on the horizon and people should avoid making large purchases in the coming months. He said the US was staring at a recession, and people should postpone buying big-ticket items such as cars and TVs.

Bezos advised people to keep some dry powder on hand, while saying that if the US gets into even more serious problems, even a little bit of risk reduction can make a big difference for small businesses. CNN quoted Jeff Bezos as saying, "The economy does not look good right now. Things are slowing down. You're seeing layoffs in many many sectors of the economy."

The billionaire’s warning comes amidst household debt soaring to $16.5 trillion in the US, and Americans relying more and more on credits for meeting daily expenses.

As per a report by Forbes, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon recently predicted that the US economy could slip into a recession in 2023. Economists expect the US economy to contract by 0.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2023, with the slowdown dragging further into 2024.

Earlier this week, the Bank of America conducted a survey in which 77 per cent of fund managers agreed that a global recession was imminent.

In the same interview, Jeff Bezos also declared that the majority of his $124 billion fortune will be donated in his lifetime. He added that the money will be used to tackle the rising threats from climate change and help those affected by social and political conflicts.

Jeff Bezos sounds warning on US economy, urges people to avoid going on spending spree

Teodoro Obiang Nguema, the President of Equatorial Guinea, is expected to extend his 43-year rule&nbsp;as the nation&nbsp;goes into elections on Sunday. The country has a population of 1.45 million, and over 400,000 people have registered to vote, Reuters reported.

As per Reuters, people will vote to elect their President, as well as 100 members of Parliament for the lower house, 55 out of the country’s 70 senators and local mayors. The 80-year-old president has always been elected with over 90 per cent&nbsp;of voters voting in his favour. However, international observers have questioned the fairness of the elections given the country’s poor record on the political freedom index.

As per media reports, Obiang is hoping to claim the presidential throne for the sixth time by defeating his two main opponents; Buenaventura Monsuy Asumu, who is running for the sixth time against him, and Andrés Esono Ondo, who is running for the first time.

Senior political analysts in Africa say that the elections in Equatorial Guinea are “completely devoid of suspense”. Maja Bovcon, a senior Africa analyst at risk intelligence company Verisk Maplecroft, said that the harassment of political opposition in the country is rampant which helps Obiang extend his illegitimate rule over the country.

The United States and the European Union have also raised concerns over reported cases of harassment and intimidation of opposition groups and civil society groups in the country. Equatorial Guinea rejects such claims while labelling their statements as “interference in its electoral process.”

Obiang stormed to power in 1979 by ousting his uncle Francisco Macias Nguema in a coup. As per Reuters, the country has had only two Presidents since Equatorial Guinea’s independence from Spain in 1968.

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently warned that the enemies might now target workers after they failed to overthrow the Islamic republic in over two months of turmoil as the protests continue to flare.&nbsp;He said, "Until this hour, thank God, the enemies have been defeated. But the enemies have a new trick every day, and with today's defeat, they may target different classes such as workers and women."

Iran's recent protests have&nbsp;been one of the most audacious challenges to Iran's religious leaders and have gained momentum. Women and university children have been protesting against Iran's severe Islamic clothing code for women including headscarves.&nbsp;

The protest began after a Kurdish-Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini, 22, passed away while being held by police after being detained for wearing clothing considered to be "inappropriate." Her death triggered a&nbsp;wave of rage across the country and&nbsp;mass demonstrations were held.&nbsp; 
 
The HRANA news agency on Saturday said that rallies and sit-ins were held on nearly 20 campuses. Videos alleging to show security forces firing at protesters were posted online.&nbsp;

As per local officials, the residence of the leading state-sanctioned cleric in Divandarreh was also destroyed, which claimed the lives of two.&nbsp;

UK's Labour Party leader, Keir Starmer has said that in order to 'restore faith in politics,' he would abolish the House of Lords.&nbsp;The Labour leader informed his party peers that as a part of the first term's agenda, he intends to remove MP's authority to choose members to the Lords. He added that the previous Tory leaders' practise of handing peerages to "lackeys and donors," had damaged the public's confidence in the country's parliamentary system.&nbsp;

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has declared the European Union’s sanctions against Russia ‘a step towards war,’ AFP reported. During a radio interview on Friday, Orban appeared to have shifted gears to deplore the EU’s economic measures against the Kremlin, which he considers “dangerous”.

"Anyone who intervenes economically in a military conflict is taking a position," Orban said during the interview. "Little by little, we are sliding towards war," he added. Orban further added that he will keep fighting against the EU’s sanctions on Russia and will ensure Hungary is exempted from them.

While condemning the EU’s military support to Ukraine, Orban added, “Now we are supplying destructive weapons, we are training Ukrainian soldiers on our own territory, we are imposing sanctions on energy... We are becoming an integral part [of the conflict]. We are not being shot at yet, but we are about to become belligerent. Europe is playing a very dangerous game."

Orban has also opposed the EU’s proposal to provide $18 billion in aid to Ukraine in form of loans. "Hungary is not going to accept that EU members take out loans together to help Ukraine," he declared.

Orban has seemingly intensified his criticism of Brussels’ Russia policy in the wake of the worsening economic situation at home. Inflation is soaring in the country, currently exceeding 20 per cent, while food prices have risen 45 per cent compared to the last year. According to Focus Economics, the Hungarian economy shrank 0.4 per cent&nbsp;on a seasonally adjusted quarter-on-quarter basis in the third quarter.

Now, Orban’s campaign is to blame the EU’s economic sanctions on Russia for Hungary’s poor state of economy. The government has already launched “national consultations” on the issue and put up posters around the country with the caption: "Brussels sanctions are ruining us" against a picture of a missile.

After months of violent turmoil in Kazakhstan, the country is holding its snap presidential election on Sunday (November 20) to strengthen the current leader, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

After a January conflict, which Tokayev described as a coup attempt, claimed lives of nearly 238 people, the former diplomat was able to take over Nazarbayev, the only ruler since the end of the Soviet Union. Tokayev was known to be a hand-picked successor of Nazarbayev, but both parted ways in 2019.

This time, Tokayev, 69, is expected to win a majority.&nbsp;His predecessor Nazarbayev had five straight terms and chose to quit after the January conflict.&nbsp;

Soon after he left, Tokayev changed the name of the country's capital "Nur-Sultan" in Nazarbayev's honour back to Astana.

Currently, economic and capital development in Kazakhstan has been hampered and has contributed to the country's 14-year high inflation rate. &nbsp;

Promising to better the economic situation, the former foreign minister and UN deputy secretary general Tokayev has pledged to eliminate corruption and redistribute wealth more fairly in order to reduce economic inequality.&nbsp;

This time, there are six candidates running for the presidential elections. However, as per polls, none of the five candidates are&nbsp;expected to get even double digits votes. The preliminary election results are expected to be released on Monday (November 21).

During the initial days of the COP27 summit, UN secretary-general&nbsp;Antonio Guterres&nbsp;had asked world leaders what they had done for the world and the planet till now. Being unhappy with the developments in the last two weeks, the UN secretary-general made it clear on Sunday that COP27 did not meet the ambitions at all.

Guterres said that the COP27 climate talks had fallen short in pushing for the urgent "drastic" carbon-cutting needed to tackle global warming, AFP reported. He said, "Our planet is still in the emergency room. We need to drastically reduce emissions now, and this is an issue this COP did not address."

Similar remarks were issued by Frans Timmermans, the EU’s climate chief. Timmermans said that COP27 failed to reach a consensus on&nbsp;keeping global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century while adding that the bloc did not want to scupper a loss and damage fund for more ambition

Norway’s climate minister Espen Barthe Eide also criticised the gathering saying the final declaration did not "contain an explicit reference to phasing down fossil fuels or peaking emissions by 2025."&nbsp; 
 
Eide said, "The Egyptian president’s focus on the loss and damage fund detracted from work on climate mitigation."&nbsp;Although he lauded the declaration for not letting the ambition "scale down from Glasgow".

As per media reports, representatives from various nations also staged walkouts while expressing disappointment with how the process played out. Allegations were levelled and a series of documents were rushed through without having discussions.

UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres calls out COP27 for failing to meet ambitions

Tuan Tuan, one of the two giant pandas that China had gifted Taiwan, passed away on Saturday (November 19). The Taipei Zoo stated "brief illness" as the reason for the panda's death.&nbsp;Although the medical reports did not state any immediate word on the cause of death, prior reports indicated that the panda was thought to have a malignant brain tumour. 
 
After the detection of the tumour, two medical specialists were sent from China to Taiwan for assistance, AP reported.&nbsp;

Taiwanese press sources stated that Tuan Tuan didn't respond and was put into an induced coma on Saturday following a string of seizures.

The ties between China and Taiwan broke in 1949 due to a civil war, but the year 2008, marked a turning point. The same year, Tuan Tuan and his mate were gifted to the Taiwanese zoo. Both were born in China in 2004 and succeeded in having a pair of cubs in Taiwan.&nbsp;
